My life genuinely revolves around the well-being of animals, so pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As a dedicated pet parent to my own beloved dogs and cats, I've built a highly flexible schedule that prioritizes consistent care for all pets in my charge – both my own and yours! This means I am genuinely adaptable for visits, even if a last-minute change is needed. My days are happily structured around ensuring pets are fed, receive plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation throughout the day, and also have ample time for relaxing moments, whether it's cuddles on the couch or simply unwinding calmly in their familiar home environment, just as they normally would. My approach is all about maintaining their comfort and routine while providing attentive, loving care.

Safety, trust & environment
For drop-in visits and walks, my top priority is providing secure, comfortable, and positive care within your pet's familiar environment. Building trust with both you and your pet is essential. Safety & Trust: I thoroughly discuss your pet's routine, temperament, and any needs beforehand to prevent issues. During walks, I use secure leashes and am vigilant about surroundings and weather. For drop-ins, I ensure your home is secure upon departure. I always have emergency contacts ready and communicate promptly. I treat your home with utmost respect, follow all instructions precisely, and provide consistent updates and photos after each visit for your peace of mind. Environment (during visits/walks): My goal is to minimize stress by adhering to your pet's established routine, including feeding times and preferred walk routes. I use positive reinforcement for engaging interactions and ensure their immediate area (bowls, etc.) is tidy before I leave.
Information Kimberly N. would like to know about your pet
During our initial chat or a meet & greet (especially for dogs, which I highly recommend!), we'll cover essential topics such as: * Their Daily Routine: Preferred feeding times/routine, potty schedules, and favorite activities. * Health & Well-being: Any allergies, medical conditions, or medications they take. * Personality & Behavior: How they interact with new people/animals, any fears or triggers, and what makes them feel most comfortable. * Emergency Contacts: Your veterinarian's information and your preferred emergency contact person. * Comforts: Their favorite toys or special items that bring them joy. Knowing these details helps me provide the consistent, loving care your pet deserves, ensuring their peace of mind and yours while you're away!
A typical day
A typical visit is all about maintaining your pet's routine and ensuring their comfort and safety. Once inside, my first step is always a warm, gentle greeting, allowing your pet a moment to get comfortable with me, especially on our first visit. For dogs, if there's a fenced yard, their first priority is usually a potty break outside right away. After that, I'll move inside to prepare and serve their food and fresh water precisely according to your instructions. I'm very conscious about preventing bloat, so I always allow a short resting period after eating before any vigorous activity. We'll then either head out for a walk or return to the yard for another potty opportunity. Throughout my visit, I strive to make sure your pet's day flows as smoothly as if you hadn't left. This includes dedicated time for engaging playtime tailored to their energy, or simply sitting and relaxing together, mirroring their normal home routines with cuddles or quiet companionship. My goal is for them to feel secure, happy, and have their routine completely upheld.

Pet care experience
Beyond my 10 years of professional pet care, what sets me apart is the practical, intuitive understanding I've developed from a lifetime around animals, including my own two dogs and two cats. This daily immersion means I instinctively read pet cues, understand varying energy levels, and know how to foster a truly positive experience. I bring a gentle touch while ensuring their comfort is always prioritized. I'm also capable in administering oral medications, maintaining crucial routines. My dedication is to providing not just care, but genuine companionship and a stress-free environment for your beloved pet while you're away.

Reviews
We are so thankful to find a dog sitter that is reliable and trusting with our fur babies. I always feel at ease knowing that my doggies are in good hands.
Kimberly responds quickly to messages. She is reliable and provides great care for our fur babies. She even brought in packages that were delivered to our home. We are so grateful to have a dog sitter like her.
We have scheduled services with Kimberly twice. She always sends us pet updates for each visit. She is reliable. She responds quickly to messages. Our dogs are comfortable with her.
Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She’s my go-to person whenever I need someone I can trust to watch my two cats and ensure that the home is secured while I’m away. She goes above and beyond every time—making sure my cats are not only safe and well-fed, but also happy and loved. I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in her care. I couldn’t ask for anyone better!
