Pet care experience

Experienced In-Home Dog Sitter

I am an experienced in-home/travelling dog sitter. Having dogs of my own, I realize the convenience and relief I feel when I know that my dog will be cared for in her own environment should we be away. I started off helping out a friend by watching her dog when she went on vacation, and have been dog sitting for over 20 years now. In addition, we have always had a family dog. Most recently our dogs have included Rottweilers and Pit Bulls. I have no breed bias, although my experience has primarily been with larger dogs. I love pets of all sort. I have also had cats and guinea pigs. I would be honored to help you by watching your fur baby. I have recently completed a certification in cat and dog first aid through the American Red Cross. Thanks for considering me!

Safety, trust & environment

I will visit prior to the first event (drop in, walk or pet sit) to review the pet’s routine and any special instructions you may have for me. I want you to be able to provide direction and feel totally comfortable leaving your pet in my care.

Kim, went above and beyond caring for Yogi. She is very experienced with dogs and we are so thankful for her. We were so pleased how she wanted to make sure Yogi was well cared for and comfortable while we were away. Thank you Kim for everything we are so lucky to have you.

We have a seclusive kitty cat that’s easily scared. We were happy to have Kim come over to replenish food and water for our little boy. On the second day, he came out and greeted her, high praise! Very pleased with Kim’s help while we were away.

Kimberly was an AMAZING sitter for our three kitties. We were going out of town for a long weekend and I was very nervous about leaving then since I work from home during the week and they are so used to having us around. Kimberly came over to do a meet and greet the week before. She asked a lot of great questions and was so calm and quiet with the kitties to make them comfortable. While we were gone, she texted us everyday with pictures of each kitty. It made me feel so comfortable, I would absolutely leave my cats with her anytime. She also brought in my mail :) she is just a wonderful, kind, animal lover that you can trust in your home, to keep your pets happy and safe. Thank you Kim!

Schedule

I currently work remote for my full time job, so that will allow me to spend quality time with your pet during the day as well as evenings for pet sits. It also provides me the flexibility to help out with occasional drop ins or walks.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kimberly can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I like to have an initial meet and greet to get to know the pet(s) and owner. I will work with any type of pet. If you have a pet that is a bit apprehensive, we may schedule a few supervised visits to increase their familiarity with me to allow the pet to be comfortable in my care. I like to schedule a follow up visit closer to the first event (drop in, walk or pet sit) to review routines, location of food, toys and treats and get any last minute instructions. I love when my pet parents leave me a note summarizing expectations and routines so we don’t miss anything, at least for the first visit.
