Lorain County Canine Care

Pet care experience

My name is Kimberly and I am currently 29 years old - my husband and I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since we were children, however I moved to working with dogs professionally at the age of 20; I have enjoyed every moment since! We recently moved to Elyria however previously lived in Cleveland Heights where I worked at a local dog boarding and daycare center where I was responsible for the well being of upwards of 35-50 dogs, ensuring each and every dog was able to relax in their new environment, providing all meals and medication as well as ensuring the safety of all social dogs in a group together. This position gave me the most valuable knowledge possible and has solidified my idea that stress free care is one of the most important things we can do for the pets entrusted in our care. We currently own 1 senior flat-coated retriever, a retired service dog as well as 3 cats and they are all our world and best friends. While I love all animals, dogs are my true passion and I have extensive experience with many different breeds, sizes, temperaments, energy drives, worker breeds/service dogs, etc. I am also able to provide you with the comfort of knowing all medications and health needs will be met, as I have plenty of experience providing care for senior/health compromised dogs that follow a strict medication/feeding schedule. I am very comfortable with administering shots, pill shoots as well as old fashion 'pilling' a dog with some PB!

Kimberly is a dream. She took such good care of my dogs this past week. My girl had an injured foot and Kimberly made sure she was well taken care of and got all her meds. I’m so happy to have found her!

Kimberly was wonderful with my two dogs while I traveled for work for a few days. She sent regular updates, took great care of the house, and was so good to my dogs. I have already booked her for my next two work trips and it’s so comforting to know they will be in good hands with Kimberly!

Safety, trust & environment

We have 3 dog-friendly cats as well as a exceptionally trained and dog-friendly senior flat coated retriever (large breed, 65+) who is up to date on all his shots and loves to meet other dogs! We tend to keep him away from higher energy breeds/dogs due to his back hips deteriorating - falls happen a lot more often now! If I am in your home you can find peace in the fact that not only your pets will be safe but your home is protected as well! I treat others homes just as sacredly as ones pets.

Information Kimberly T. would like to know about your pet

We would love to hear as much about your dog as possible before we get to meet! Any issues that you deem important will automatically be important to me! I would also love to know any/all the ways I can make your pup happy and comfortable with me - it can be scary being away from your humans sometimes! I require notice for all females in heat as well as intact males however am able to make accomodations for them easily. It would be nice to know if: your dog has ever gotten aggressive while you were away (anxiety does not equal a bad dog!), if they have any food or toy possessiveness, if there are any areas that your dog does not like touched, etc. *Cameras in your home are allowed, however failing to disclose locations of all in home cameras can result in a cancellation with no refund.*

A typical day

When boarding at our home, you can have peace of mind that your pup will stay safe & secure with my fully fenced, large yard (please inform us of dogs with a history of jumping fences) and two floors full of different areas to play, relax or decompress! Regardless of where your dog & I are, the day will be full of fun playtime, cuddles, walks/outdoor time and we provide plenty of photos throughout the day so you know what your pet is up to!

After the pandemic and working an office job remotely for 2 years, I have stepped aside from that life and am looking to focus more on spending my days enjoying my passion: taking care of your pup! My husband has a full time work schedule however this is my full time position - you don't need to worry about my schedule pulling me in different directions. I do own a 13yr old senior retriever who may need me to stop home to check in on him on certain days however I treat house-sitting and boarding as if I am working from home and I will not be away from your pets for very long.
