Availability

I am available on a case by case basis during the day throughout the week but have open availability on weekends for in-home sitting or walks. I can do early morning, lunch, or evening walks/check-in for those busy days to bring you peace of mind that your pets are safe and cared for. Do you need someone to come keep your pet comfortable and happy while you’re out for the day? Or a few drop-in visits? Maybe even just to bring yourself peace of mind? I am happy to help provide that. *Surcharges* -visits between 9:00pm-7:00am will have $10 surcharge added after we confirm booking -visits requested outside of 8 mile radius may also incur a $10 surcharge after booking is confirmed (Ex: a $35 drop-in visit(30 min) would become $45)

Safety, trust & environment

I take care of all animals as though they are my own by ensuring their best interest at heart. I treat the safety and well being of all animals as a top priority. I truly care for animals and have an infinite amount of compassion and respect for them. I am knowledgeable with different behaviors and walking accessories (ex: different harness and collar set ups) so I can ensure safety for your pet in all situations that may present while on a walk or visit. Please trust that your pets will be treated with absolute care and respect. I will go above and beyond for any animal in my care as well as providing you with the best communication and care for your home and time.

Information Kimberly W. would like to know about your pet

Please feel free to provide me as much information about your pets behaviors. It’s best to be prepared and know the ins and outs of keeping your pet happy and safe. If your dog is reactive towards anything or is food aggressive this is great information for me to have. Is your dog a runner with a high prey drive? Spooked easily? Please also let me know if there are any allergies or health concerns to be aware of. I know that it can be stressful leaving our pets with others, especially when they have special needs or behaviors so I want to give you the absolute most peace of mind.

A typical day

I love to keep my dogs active and happy to so I’d love to do the same for your pets! I like to engage pets in play in a manner that is safe and suitable for them. l enjoy providing other stimulation such as puzzles or pet healthy foods inside of kongs or on lick mats.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. I have never had a moment in my life where I was not around pets in some capacity. I spent time with my own dogs and cats as well as working at my sister’s grooming salon as a bather and pet sitter. I was also my friends and neighbors contact when they needed someone to care for their pets. I have been an active volunteer with a local pitbull rescue for many years and spend my free time with the rescue dogs and doing adoption events. I also started volunteering at the local animal rescue by my house as and spend time taking dogs out and helping with fundraising events. I currently have two dogs and one cat of my own that I love very much. My pets stay home with their other pawrent when I am away.

Kimberly was excellent with my diabetic senior kitty. She followed all directions and is very easy to work with. I would recommend her to anyone with medically fragile animals.

Kimberly is the best dog sitter! She has watched my pup many times and I feel at ease leaving my dog under her care.

Kimberly was great and kept our pup company for the day. She was on time, professional and kept us updated throughout the day! We would highly recommend her!
