Safety, trust & environment

I am tidy, detail-oriented, and punctual. I ensure all doors are properly closed and locked. I will carefully review and follow any provided instructions. I am highly communicative and responsive. I prioritize hygiene and safety, always sanitizing my hands and wearing a mask when requested.

Information Kimberly S. would like to know about your pet

To ensure I am properly prepared, please let me know if your pet: a) Has any specific behavioral "quirks" I should be aware of b) Is leash reactive or has any physical/exercise restrictions c) Requires medication administration d) Has specific diet restrictions / treat ingredients that must be avoided Outside of the above, I'd love to know what your pet absolutely loves! Any details you can share during our meet and greet session will help ensure I can provide them (and you!) with the best experience possible.

A typical day

All services will be customized for your pet's personality and abilities! Dog walks are tailored to their energy level, from leisurely sniffs to high-energy adventures. Drop-in visits include a potty break, playtime, and lots of pets and cuddles. For both walks and visits, I can also provide basic training reinforcement to help build upon what you're already working on with your dog. Cat sitting visits are entirely customized to your cat's unique personality. Some cats enjoy interactive toy play, pets and cuddles, while others prefer a hands-off approach with quiet, close-by companionship.

Pet care experience

I am a full-time pet care professional, dedicated to providing top-notch customized pet sitting and dog walking services! As a lifelong pet owner who has entrusted many dog walkers and pet sitters with the care of my own furry companions, I fully appreciate the importance of reliable, loving care from a communicative and detail-oriented pet care provider. I am so pleased to provide this peace of mind for my clients. ❤️ While I am experienced in all general areas of pet care, I have specialized experience in walking leash reactive dogs (I have one of my own!) as well as caring for puppies and senior dogs. I'll tailor my approach adapting to your pet's unique personality, ensuring a comfortable experience. I am cautious and safety-focused, and certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I can administer medication (pills, liquids, drops, bandage changes, etc.) to cooperative pets. Please note that I am not trained in administering injectable medications. My lifelong passion for animals has led me to care for a diverse range of pets, from cuddly cats to quirky rodents. I grew up in an animal-loving home with a huge variety of pets: cats, dogs, rabbits, rats, mice, hampsters, guinea pigs, turtles - you name it! Outside of my childhood home, I have over a decade of experience caring for pets. I started my own fur family in 2013 with my dog Eevee (Alaskan Klee Kai/Shiba Inu/Mini American Eskimo mix). In 2014 I adopted my cat Kiki (Maine Coon mix).

Kimberly is awesome! Our old cat is not the best with strangers but Kimberly took the time to make him feel comfortable with her and now he accepts her visits with no issues at all. That’s a big deal for our old boy!

Kimberly is a fantastic cat sitter! Our cat is 13 years old and does not exactly warm up to new people very quickly. Where some people may have said ‘no thank you’ to sitting for our cat Kimberly said “let’s figure out a way to make this work that will make your cat feel as comfortable as possible while making sure he gets the great quality care he deserves.” She really impressed us with her perseverance even after our boy hissed and growled when she came for visits. She made sure he was fed and his litter box cleaned daily despite his less than happy attitude. She even offered him treats and play time as well as turned on Cat TV for him. By the end of our two week vacation he was looking forward to her visits enough to ask for a pet or two and play with his toy! I couldn’t recommend Kimberly more - especially if you have a less than easy pet. She doesn’t give up easily! 10 out of 10 stars for sure!
