Pet care experience

Current service areas: House sitting (overnight): Anywhere in RI, parts of MA and CT Drop-in visits and walks: Within 10 miles of Providence Day care (in your home): Within 15 miles of Providence Firstly, thank you for considering me for your pet care needs! I am a 29 year old dog/cat/rodent/horse-savvy animal lover. Professionally, I work for a national animal welfare nonprofit and personally, I am involved in animal rescue. If you are looking for a sitter who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and experienced, and who will treat your pet as their own, please reach out! Not unlike the other Rover sitters, I pet sit because I love animals. But more than that, I care about setting your pet up for success while you're away. Having a stranger come into your home and care for your animals is always nerve-racking—I strive to make both you and your pet(s) feel at ease. I have experience with both fearfulness and aggression in dogs, and have a solid understanding of canine body language. I'm not the sitter who will, upon meeting your dog for the first time, get in their personal space—no matter how well-socialized and friendly they are. I let the dog come to me, and allow them to take their time getting familiar. However, I will also take the time to get to know them: what they like and dislike, what their energy level is, and all of their quirks. In short, I will absolutely treat your pet like my own, and make sure they have the best possible experience! I can handle large, strong dogs as well as small dogs who think they are the boss. :) I am willing to walk your pup as often or as much as needed and will make sure you feel comfortable with me caring for your pet. I will always check in with you and send photos/videos.

Kim sent us updates and pictures every day. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog Kona with her. We will definitely recommend her to our friends.

Kimberly was so great giving us updates and even tho our nervous dog needed to go to family she was doing everything she could to make him comfortable. And once he was with people he was familiar with the rest of our pets did great with Kim. Loved the updates and everyone was happy! Thank you Kim!!

Kim is so wonderful. My husband and I got a new puppy in March and shortly thereafter my husband's job required multiple days of unexpected work travel. I was so nervous about how to care for and train my little man (I'm the one who works outside the house). Kim honestly saved the day and did several daily drop-ins with the puppy and her consistency has been key in helping to potty train him. She sends the best Rover updates and photos that help to assuage my mom guilt/anxiety! My puppy is so happy and at peace when I get home thanks to Kim.

Kimberly took such good care of our cat Dublin! He’s an older cat and we have never left him in 16 years. She was so good with him that I think he is missing her now! Will definitely ask Kimberly to take care of him again if the need arises!
