Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Kim. I have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats my whole life, and currently have 2 medium size 1 year old German Shepherd mixes that live with my parents and I miss dearly!! I have 2 kitties in my house with me, one adopted as an adult and one that is still a kitten. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, having experienced several pets with medical issues throughout my life. Additionally, one of my past babies had some serious medical issues reporting special diet and daily medication, so I'm used to caring for animals that may need some extra love. I love old grumps, too! I love dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and am currently available to check in or walk them before 9am, and after 5pm most days, with flexibility on the weekends. I love playtime and snuggles, and am a relaxed dog walker who has experience with both hyper and calm dogs, big and small. I can't wait to get to hang out with your furry baby!

Kimberly was excellent! She made sure my kitties were taken care of and the kitties must have felt very safe around her because even my skittish one came out to hang out! I DEFINITELY plan on calling her again next time I need help! Thank you, Kimberly!
Kimberly is the perfect pet sitter! She took care of my two cat babies for three days and left a thorough update and pictures everyday. I was not worried at all because of how well she cared for my cats? I highly recommend Kimberly!
Kim was amazing! She sent lots of pictures and we could enjoy our vacation knowing they were well taken care of. Our cats loved her!!
First time Rover-user so definitely all had the worries and concerns about leaving my cats with someone I didn’t know. Turns out, those worries and concerns were unnecessary. Kimberly came over to meet them ahead of time and my two cats took all the pets and asked for more. Promising start! Then, while we were gone, Kimberly provided great updates (very funny as well) and so many pictures so I knew what was going on. She was super communicative and took such great care of my cats. Can’t recommend enough. She will be the first person I check with next time we need a cat sitter.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have fur babies, soo I know how anxious you can get when you’re away from them. I will make sure to stick to their routine as much as possible, use your word commands if applicable, and most importantly actually spend time and give them love!
Information Kimberly K. would like to know about your pet
I want to know their quirks/preferences, and what type of behavior is acceptable to the owners-what is your training strategy? I also what to know the dog's favorite toys, places, treats, and favorite place to be scratched! Does your kitty like to be touched? Do they have a favorite hiding spot? What is their favorite toy?
A typical day
I will go on walks around your neighborhood, to parks or places with lots of smells! I love fetch, tag, tug of war, and hide and seek with dogs, as well as snuggles. Puppy kisses are the best kisses! With kitties, I know sometimes they will hide, and that’s ok! I will make sure they eat something before I leave, and play with them and love on them if they’ll let me.

Availability
I work full time Mon-Fri, 9-5, but have a flexible schedule on the weekend. I can do morning and evening walks and potties, or feeding/ loves, providing everything is well lit! I can occasionally take dogs over the weekend, but they have to be good with kitties (or be a puppy) and are either leveled at night or can be trusted to not destroy my bedroom at night!
