Pet care experience

Hi there! As a pet owner who has enlisted the services of many dog walkers and pet sitters throughout the years, I know firsthand how important it is to have a pet caretaker you can count on. You need someone who is reliable, communicative, detail-oriented, and will provide top tier quality care customized for your pet. I am so pleased to be able to provide this peace of mind for my clients! EXPERIENCE & BACKGROUND: I have 10+ years of experience in all general areas of pet care: walking, bathing, training, playing, administering medications, etc. 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 have provided care (house-sitting, walks, and house visits) for 50+ dogs and cats throughout the years. Rest assured, I will treat your pet like it's part of my own family and will adapt to their personality. I tend to bond easily with pets and enjoy connecting to even the shyest reserved cats and dogs by providing a calm and reassuring presence. I grew up in an animal-loving home with all kinds of pets: cats, dogs, bunnies, rats, mice, turtles - you name it! Outside of my childhood home, I have 10 years of experience caring for pets. I started my own fur baby 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 was fantastic! Even from our first conversation, she was professional, prepared, and clear in communication. Not only was she great with our pets -- she is easy to work with for us humans, too! She took notes during the initial meet and greet, and once the pet sitting began, she gave detailed updates after each visit and provided us with photos of our furbabies. It is clear that she cares about our animals and we felt at ease that we left them in good hands while we went out of town. I highly recommend her if you are searching for a new pet sitter.

Kimberly took great care of our 2 dogs(Sadie &Weenie) over Labor Day weekend. Sadie can be a bit nervous and skittish so we scheduled a couple of meet and greets first. Sadie was very comfortable, happy and even smiling in photos Kimberly would send us with the time together! We were so pleased by her professionalism and love for animals that we hav told everyone we know with dogs to hire her. Thank you Kimberly for making our weekend stress free and taking great care of Sadie & Weenie! We will definitely call and use you again.

Our dog Loki was well taken care of by Kimberly while we were away. We started with a meet and greet and Kimberly was taking notes and interacting with Loki the whole time. She was very professional and we received a report card for every visit. Will definitely book again!

Kimberly was absolutely fabulous and amazing in the care she provided to our 2 kitties (Simba & Boyze) while we were overseas for a full week. She provided daily updates and pics daily, was always prompt and ensured they were fed and loved which allowed us great peace of mind. I highly recommend her services and I do intend to have her pet sit our kitties again for sure!!! They absolutely loved her!!! ? Thanks Kimberly for the awesome care you gave the kitties!!!
