Availability

I anm currently not working at an animal hospital. But will be getting back to it in a few months. I have plenty of time and a 8 year old sweet boy, and 1 and a half year old girl who love animals just as much as I do, to play with your pups or kitties. I am available for boarding at my home, and drop in visits in your home, and I also offer staying at your home to make it as smooth for your pets as possible.

Information Kimberly R. would like to know about your pet

It’s critical for me to know their temperament, social queue's, likes and dislikes to ensure everyone’s safety. It’s also important to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.

A typical day

I love to see zoomies. It brings me joy. We take long walks and go to the dog park up the street to play and meet new friends. We’ll play tug of war and other fun games together.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is a combination of my experience, qualities, and special skills. I have 8+ years of experience in animals and pet sitting. I am genuinely passionate about pets, and it shows in the care and attention I provide. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I have completed Fear Free, Cat Friendly, Pet First Aid/CPR to ensure I handle any situation professionally. I possess specialized skills such as understanding animal behavior, administering medications, basic dog training, nail trims depending on temperament, among many other qualities as a qualified veterinary technician/nurse. My schedule allows me to accommodate various client needs, including last minute bookings and specific time requirements. I have a list of satisfied clients who can vouch for the quality of my pet care services. I prioritize open and clear communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and ensuring peace of mind while they are away. I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each pet, ensuring they are comfortable, happy, and healthy during their time in my care. By combining these qualities and skills, I aim to provide exceptional pet sitting services that give pet owners confidence and peace of mind when they entrust their beloved animals to my care.

Kimberly took good care of Lumi. Thank you for doing that! She is very energetic when coming back. The only suggestion is if she could send us pictures of our cat once a day which would be perfect.
