Pet care is my full time job, so my daily and weekly routine is fully centered around the pets I care for. This allows me to provide consistent attention, flexible scheduling, and reliable care for every client. I plan my days around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training, and any special care needs like medications or senior support. Since this is my primary focus, I’m able to give pets the time, structure, and attention they deserve rather than fitting them into a busy schedule. Whether it’s daily visits, extended stays, or last minute needs, I’m committed to being dependable, communicative, and fully present for both you and your pet.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to keep pets on a consistent routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. In my home, my dogs start their day around 6 a.m. with a potty break and a walk, followed by breakfast and another quick trip outside. In the afternoon and evening, they go out again, have dinner, and get either a walk or playtime in the yard. When caring for pets in your home, I stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and any special care they need, so they stay happy and stress-free. I also know how important communication is, so I provide regular photo and video updates and stay responsive to messages. Since pet care is my full time job, I have flexible availability and can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. My goal is to make sure you feel confident and at ease, and that your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Information Kimberly R. would like to know about your pet

If your pets have special needs or behaviors, I can do my best to accommodate for your pet, whether they need medication or a bedtime story. All your pets needs will be met with care and love.

A typical day

As a certified dog trainer, I focus on activities that are not only fun but also mentally and physically enriching. I love taking dogs on structured walks where they can safely explore and use their sense of smell, which supports their overall well being. I also incorporate light training during our time together, such as reinforcing basic commands, leash manners, and positive behaviors. This helps keep dogs engaged while maintaining consistency with their training. Along with walks and training, I include playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of one on one attention. I always tailor everything to your pet’s personality, energy level, and your preferences to ensure a safe, structured, and enjoyable experience.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Kim, a certified dog trainer and experienced pet sitter dedicated to providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 9 years old, including feeding routines, medication administration, and managing multiple pets at once. I have hands on experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, rodents, and horses, so I’m confident with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including seniors and those with special needs. As a pet owner myself with three dogs and a cat, I know how important it is to have someone you can truly trust. I focus on keeping your pet comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. You can count on clear communication, dependability, and lots of love and attention for your pet. I’d love to meet you and your pet. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book!

By far, Penelope’s favorite! Kim was very sweet and communicative, sent me pictures the entire time. It is clear that she really values what she does and goes the extra mile to make sure the pup is happy and the owner has peace of mind. I will continue to book Kim every chance I get!
