Adventurous hiker; loves pets!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Kim, a 43 year-old Physical Therapist. I am active and love to hike and cross country ski - and would enjoy taking your dog on any adventure, big or small. I love dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and ages; and will care for your pet like it is my own. I grew up with Annie-Belle, an orange Tabby cat who hopped our fence and was never claimed by her previous owners. In my adult life I adopted Kayla, a Siberian Husky mix who adventured with me for 18 lucky years. I have not yet found a new pet of my own, but greatly enjoy the time I get to spend with client’s furry friends. Recently, I have also been housesitting and caring for the gardens for patients of mine while they are on vacation, with or without pets. Please contact me with any questions you might have, or to schedule a meet and greet! Over my years in the Flathead Valley I have developed repeat customers that I enjoy interacting with, and look forward to caring for their pets and homes whenever requested. I am available for long-term gigs as well. I can provide as many updates as pictures as you desire while your pets are in my care.
Reviews
Kimberly was fantastic! She spent lots of time with the kitties & they clearly loved her! Will definitely use her again but may be awhile before we travel again what with this crazy corona virus issue!
Kimberly is an amazing sitter, very flexible with our last minute changes. I felt like my pups were in good hands and well loved while we were gone. Very responsive to messages/calls and reasonably priced. I will definitely book with Kimberly again! :)
Kim was wonderful, she was very willing to come check on my pups even though it was a very last minute request. Her communication was perfect, she sent me pictures of my dogs and they seemed very happy with her as well :) Would highly recommend and would book with Kim again in the future!!
Our two pups liked Kimberly from the moment she walked thru the front door. We felt very comfortable having her at our home. When we returned the dogs were happy and our home was spotless. Very pleased

Safety, trust & environment
I am very cautious while petsitting. Even if owners say their dog is ok off leash k at least leash them in the parking lot to load/unload and wait until a quarter mile away from the parking lot to unleash. Not worth the risk of the unknown, especially before you’re certain a dog trusts you and will respond to your commands. I will treat and care for your pets and home like they are my own.
Information Kimberly W. would like to know about your pet
It’s always nice to know how your pets respond to other humans/pets so I can set us up for success before any potential interactions. I always like to know what schedule your pets are used to so k can try to match as closely as possible to reduce stress on the pet while you are away.
A typical day
For dogs I love taking them hiking, cross crountry skiing, or walking. If they like to snuggle and or wrestle that’s fun too. For cats I obviously let them decide what they want! ; )

Availability
I am building my schedule at a new PT practice so am not yet working 40 hours/week. I can provide whatever care your pets need in the morning, at, lunch and all evening/night. At the moment the longest I’m gone for work is 6.5 hours but can always get a lunch break to pop over for a walk/treats/snuggles if you live close enough.
