Love Long Walks & Dogs!
Pet care experience
I've been lucky enough to have dogs in my life since my 1st birthday, when my parents got me a toy poodle, CoCo. Since then there's been Nicholas, Bailey, Coby and Teddy. For the past few years I've lived in an apartment and have volunteered in cat rescue, and I've missed time with dogs - especially out walking! Over the years that I've had dogs, I've taken several animal behavior training courses where I became well-versed in motivation, puppy behaviors and walking techniques/etiquette. I also worked part-time for a veterinarian when I lived in TX, helping with dog walking, bathing, nail trimming, medication administration, holding large dogs that were scared, etc. I'm 6 feet tall and muscular, so I'm confident in my ability to provide a safe walking experience for any size dog. I'm self-employed and work from my home in Cleveland Heights, so I have the flexibility to walk your pup or pups when you're at work or away or just when you might like a break from doing so! Thanks for considering me!
Reviews
Oliver is always happy to see you, Kimberly! Thanks for playing with him and exercising him on his walks--he loves the social engagement and energy outlet! We are grateful for your speedy communication, too.
Kimberly was AMAZING! She was not at all intimidated or put off by my larger dogs very exuberant nature. She bonded with the dogs immediately. She asked very good questions about how to best care for them. I could tell that she really loves animals and she is someone that I will trust to care for my best friends in the future!
Thank you, Kimberly, for going above and beyond with Oliver! We greatly appreciate your time and care and generosity with him--and with us! You're a gem and we'll definitely be hiring you again.
Kimberly is wonderfully intuitive with our dog Oliver. He trusted and adored her right away. She gave him good long walks and was there for me in a pinch. Very trustworthy. Thank you!

I treat pets the way I expect their owners think of them - as utterly precious and irreplaceable. I am extremely careful with them and always aware of our surroundings on walks.

I'll confess to having a preference for large dogs, but I don't discriminate. I enjoy all breeds. Please don't hesitate to share any of your pet's preferences, quirks, or needs.

I will always walk your dog in an area that is safe and comfortable for him or her. I will play with your pets and snuggle with them.
