All pets welcome!

Pet care experience

I am a wildlife biologist working at the Lincoln Park Zoo. I have a masters degree in ecology along with 10+ years caring for my own and others pets through informal and formal positions as an animal/veterinarian technician, zoo keeper, dog walker, house and pet sitter. I have also worked with exotic and wild animals for 8+ years and have experience administering drugs and monitoring animal vitals in the field. Some exotic species I have worked with include birds, bobcats, wolves, deer, snakes, chameleons, deer, etc.

Kimberly is dependable and ultra-responsive. We were delighted with her dog-walking services. She is top-notch. Our dog Lily was immediately comfortable with Kimberly. We are so pleased with our first experience using Rover.
