✨️🐾🌈WELCOME TO MY PAGE🌈🐾✨️ 🐾🍄PLEASE READ MY WHOLE PROFILE BEFORE MESSAGING ME!🍄🐾 Thank you for looking at my profile and considering me for your fur/reptile babies and their needs. I have had pets my whole life. I am also vet tech of 12 + years. I enjoy cats and dogs, as I have 4 cats and a dog of my own. However, my favorite animals are exotics & marine life. I do have an exotic pet myself- a ball python named Tortellini 🐍🥰 I started pet sitting for Rover in 2019 and my side-hustle grew from there. I have a career as a veterinary technician so clearly, I enjoy spending time with all creatures with paws, claws, scales, or feathers! PLEASE NOTE BEFORE MESSAGING: I work about 50 hours a week. If you read my reviews, you can see that my work schedule does not impact the level of care and compassion I put into my stays and I treat EVERY pet as if they were my own. If you need me to make some reasonable accommodations in regards to my availability, I am happy to work something out if possible. 📚📖PLEASE READ MY PERSONAL POLICIES PRIOR TO REQUESTS: 🐾If your location is more than 45 minutes away from my home and/or job and I agree to sit for you, I will increase my price by $20 per night to cover travel costs. 🐾Please be as forthcoming and honest about your pet(s) and their medical/unique needs (if any) as you can, so that I am able to ensure your special companion receives the best possible care. 🐾PLEASE allow ample time for me to respond to any calls/messages: 🐢If you are contacting me for the first time: 24-48 hrs. 🐢 Confirmed booking: 24 hrs. 🐢Active Sit: 1 to 4 hrs. 🐾Pricing: I completely understand that life is expensive right. I get it. I am always happy to discuss and make reasonable adjustments. 🐾I would appreciate a 5-day cancelation notice for all overnight stays and 1 days notice for walks only. I understand certain situations are exceptions to this so I am happy to discuss 😊 🐾I require a meet & greet for all requests for new clients. This ensures that we get an opportunity to discuss details, concerns, or questions you may have for me, as well as an opportunity to meet in person 😊 🐾Medication administration is $5 extra per night/visit 🐾Subcutaneous/intramuscular injections/fluids are $10 extra per night/sit. 🐾If you need references, I will gladly provide them. 🐾I offer services for cats, dogs, small mammal (guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, hamsters, etc), birds (including chickens), non-venomous reptiles, amphibians, and fish. 🐾My husband helps take care of our own furry & scaley kiddos when I do overnight sits. This means that there is no need to worry that caring for my own animals will impact the services I was hired for. 🐾💙✨️FINALLY, please know that I AM A SAFE SPACE! I am a woman-run, Latina, LGBTQIA small business and I reserve the right to deny service to anyone that makes me feel unsafe. If this bothers you, I suggest you find another sitter.

Kimberly was wonderful with Snow, Aires and Darcy. She attended to Snow's medical issues without hesitation. Kimberly was a wonderful find for us. She sent pictures daily of the puppies. When we return the house was just the way we left it. Thank you for everything Kimberly Please stop by around the Holidays for a visit. Debbie

Kimberly is a very caring and passionate sitter. She went above and beyond to meet my dog’s high level of care and was very emotionally invested in the wellbeing of my fur babies. She’s an excellent communicator and provided constant updates during my business trip when my dog got very sick. I specifically chose Kimberly because she is a vet tech and super knowledgeable and capable- she went the extra mile

Schedule

As a veterinary technician and avid pet owner, I am responsible for animal care on a regular basis. I am able to work around my schedule to provide the best care possible as I do with my own animals, during my stays/sits.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kimberly can host up to 1 pet per night
Any special needs/special handling/behavior/aggression concerns and medication requirements MUST be discussed PRIOR to booking. It is important to avoid creating stress for your pet and myself in a moment of urgency. If your pet is nervous/scared/aggressive with other people/animals, please be honest about the situation. It will not only prevent anyone from being hurt but will ensure minimal anxiety/stress for your pet and myself. I will never judge a nervous/scared animal. I am open to discussing options, making recommendations, and creating a plan to schedule some additional visits leading up to the requested stay/visit to ensure a successful sit.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
