Love and Experience Combined

Hi, I’m Kimberly! I was born an animal lover, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by all kinds of pets—from puppies and parrots to ponies and hedgehogs! Over the years, I’ve worked as a vet tech, kennel tech, dog breeder, handler, trainer and breed judge. I’ve also raised a family alongside a full house of animals, young and old, healthy and in need of extra care. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve helped nurse many pets back to health with patience, time, and love. I believe every animal deserves gentle, attentive care—especially when their humans are away. Let me be your pet’s loving caregiver and companion while you’re gone. I’ll treat them like family! ⸻ Why I love pet sitting I’ve loved animals my whole life! Pet sitting allows me to do what I love most—care for animals—while giving peace of mind to other pet parents. ⸻ Can I administer medication? Yes! I worked as a veterinary technician for 5 years and have experience with oral medications, injections, wouand care.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

There truly is no place like home, especially when it comes to our beloved pets. I wholeheartedly believe that animals find their greatest joy and sense of security within the warmth and familiarity of their own surroundings. That’s why I provide gentle, trustworthy in-home care designed to maintain your pet’s routine and minimize any stress they may feel. Whether it’s a nutritious meal, a refreshing walk, administering medication, or simply sharing some cuddle time, I promise to care for your pet with all the love and tenderness as if they were my own, right in the comfort of their cherished home.

Thanks to Kimberly we were able to be away and not worry about Puff the cat. He was in very good hands!

Kimberly is amazing! She is responsive, professional, and willing and able to manage difficult dogs. We have a 5 year old rescue, Leila, who is reactive and hesitant when first meeting people, but Kimberly navigated the meet & greet so well and Leila warmed up to her immediately. We also have an 11 month old puppy, Watson, who is a big jumper but just got neutered so needed to be kept calm and on a leash. Kimberly handled him very well and when I got home, both puppies were happy and tired. Highly recommend Kimberly!

Kimberly loves dogs and are great with them. She has dogs herself and have a great big backyard. I highly recommend her services to anyone who are looking for a sitter for their dog or dogs for a long or short term.

I have known Kim for 25 years and I am pleased to recommend her for any animal care position. Her extensive experience with dogs, particularly through her work as a breeder, clearly shows in the way she handles every pup—confidently, calmly, and with a deep understanding of their needs. She is well-equipped to handle dogs of all sizes and personalities. Additionally, Kim has experience with a lot of other small animals such as hedgehogs, hamsters, etc. Anyone seeking a trustworthy, experienced, and knowledgeable animal care provider would be lucky to have Kim to help!

Sure! Here’s a version tailored specifically for a Rover review: ⸻ Kimberly is everything you’d want in a pet sitter—trustworthy, dependable, and incredibly knowledgeable. All of our Labradors were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for in her hands. She gave medications accurately and with ease, which was a huge relief. Kimberly has even cared for our newborn litters, showing just how experienced and capable she is. We always feel confident leaving our dogs with her. High Recommend!

What I’d Like to Know Before a Visit: To give your pet the best care possible, I’d love to know their daily routine, favorite activities, feeding schedule, any medical needs or medications, and how they usually react to new people or other animals. Please share any allergies, anxieties, or activity restrictions, as well as how they handle being alone. It’s also helpful to have your vet’s contact information and an emergency contact on file—just in case. The more I know, the more I can tailor my care to your pet’s unique needs and personality!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
