experienced animal care giver

Pet care experience

*CURRENTLY Only boarding repeat clients in my home. However, I am available for new clients that want me to sit in their home. * Please note that I work full time in Center City, and that my services work best with pets used to being home alone for an extended period of time. I love animals and wildlife of all sorts. In fact, my degree and work experiences revolve around wildlife and conservation. I also trained canines for two years, focusing on positive reinforcement techniques. I am comfortable and skilled working with all breeds big and small. Dogs in my care will enjoy walks and playtime. I would also be happy to help with any training owners are working on. I have a clean, safe home with plenty of space. We have a fenced in yard with a park close by. For the safety of the dogs, I will only board for one family at a time. I'd be happy to speak with any potential clients. Must book a meet and greet before we book a stay. For reference, I am also experienced working with cats, reptiles, and birds.

Kimberly was amazing! I immediately had a warm/fuzzy when I walked into her home for our initial meet-up. It is obvious that she loves animals and will treat them like her own. She sent photos and update throughout our dog's stay. It's so nice to be able to leave your pet and not have to worry about them while you are away. I definitely will have Kimberly watch Winfred again.

Kimberly was AMAZING!!! She came to me to do a meet and greet and even had a video of her house to show me so I was comfortable. When I went to drop Penelope off, I was running late and she even rushed out the door to meet me to make it easier on me. She sent me updates and photos of Penelope everyday while I was away. After the week Kim had Penelope, she was very flexible on pick up time and even gave me cookies on the way out. Not to mention, she had Penelope over the Christmas holiday and got Penelope a Christmas gift! I was very impressed with Kimberly and would highly recommend her!!!

Kimberly has always been an animal lover. She has taken care of many dogs and cats throughout her life as well as other pets. Kim also worked at the Philadelphia Zoo for many years taking care of many other animals and also teaching others about how to better care for their pets. She is very energetic and outgoing and very loving when it comes to dogs especially. Most of the pets she has had in her life have lived long healthy lives and the relationships were very friendly.

Information Kimberly G. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of typical behaviors to expect in and outside the home, feeding habits, favorite toys/activities, any behavior training specifics, and how well the dog(s) walk on the leash around other people/pets/wildlife. I will be walking dogs in a place where there may be other dogs and wildlife. Please let me know of anything that will help me provide a place where your pets can feel comfortable and safe. I want all pets in my care to have a positive experience.

A typical day

We have a couple of parks nearby for walking. One is a playground, and the other has walking trails. I can also keep up on some basic training behaviors if the owner wishes. I enjoy it and I think dogs enjoy it too! Please be sure to provide your dog(s)'s favorite toys!
