Talking to your dog is what I do!

Pet care experience

I currently work with 4 clients on a regular basis and have 5 star reviews outside of rover. I also take care of other peoples dogs intermittently. These are all repeat clients. I got into dog walking because I’ve been a lifelong pet owner and a huge dog lover as well. Providing great care for someone’s loved one and giving peace of mind to their parent)s) is essential to building long term relationships. That’s my number one goal with everyone I meet. I enjoy being silly at times with dogs, but most of all enjoy taking care of them because they give back at the same time. It’s a perfect relationship in my eyes. Whether they are sitting nearby or getting pet, it’s a good feeling to be in their presence! At the same time I’m trying to build my business so that I can earn an income to support my decision to dog walk/board as a full time profession. Currently, I'm available 7 days a week, but I do upcharge for weekend walks as well as evening walks. I do this because these fall outside business hours. I understand that people need care for their pets at all times of the day. I've taken care of other people's dogs part time for 3 years and know pet behavior well. I'm very dependable, loving and yet firm with rules you have with your dog. I want to help you when you can't be there for your pet. I'll treat your dog like my own and they will look forward to our time together. For instance, dogs that board at my home will have ears perked up and tails wagging when their parents tell them they are coming to visit. And dogs I walk bark happily when I come in or smile with their eyes if they’re on the quiet side. My dog clients become very close and love the conversations I have with them. We also have a mutual trust built within a short time because of my devotion to their needs. I’m great with communication with my doggy parents and I make sure I send pictures and detailed reports so you can know what is going on. Taking care of dogs is an honor and a gift to me. I happily do this work and I get as much joy as I give. Thanks for reading and for the opportunity to take care of your baby! Please ask me any questions because I can’t cover everything here. And do call me back when you are satisfied with care. I want to see your pet more than once.

We have two pups and they are our children. Kim has been taking care of them for over a year now, and we are truly a satisfied and happy client! She walks our pups regularly. Every time she walks, she sends photos and detailed updates which make us confident that our pups are well take care. When there are delivery boxes in the front door, she would put them inside the house regardless of size and weight. When she notice the water level in the dog bowl is low, she would fill it up without being asked. The little things she does really makes a difference. She also takes care of our pups at her home once or twice a month when we are out of town for few days. My pups absolutely love going to her house and hang out with her fun, loving family. Her house has a really large fenced yard where they can sniff around and explore. She even offers to cook tasty dog meals for them. She has gone above and beyond in her services for us. I am very thankful of her genuine love of animals. By far, she has been the best pet sitter I have ever had. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a responsive, reliable, and compassionate pet care.

Kim has taken care of my dogs for 2 years. She is kind,compassionate and reliable. She loves my dogs like there her own. I was hospitalized and she completely took over the care of my dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her. She is a gem!!

Information Kimberly M. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your pet has any health issues definitely and if they have any fears.id like to know if they have ever been abused. I’m also concerned if they have ever been attacked or in a bad situation with another dog or a person. I'd also like to know how many times they do a bowel movement. Where do you want me to throw away the poop? What is an emergency number? What is your vets name?

A typical day

If your dog boards with me, I have a 1 acre lot so there is plenty of space for your pet. I also make sure they get a lot of exercise and will walk them too if they prefer that.
