Pet care experience

Hello! I have lived my entire life with pets, and I am a passionate animal lover. I have a 3-year-old daughter who also adores all animals. Throughout high school, I worked at a dog kennel in Maine, where I developed my love of dog sitting. Here I learned the basics of administering medication, food, water, and treats. I was also trained to groom and monitor the behavior and social cues from dogs. I worked with all breeds and sizes of canines. I went on to major in Animal Science at the University of Maine, and have worked at multiple veterinary offices specializing in dog and cat medicine. My experience ranges from answering basic health and immunization questions to administering vaccinations, restraining, and handling pets during examinations, and monitoring animals under anesthesia. Currently, I live in a pet-free household. Whenever I get the opportunity, I walk my neighbor's dog or pet sit for them. I would love to expand and offer my services more widely.

Kimball was great, took excellent care of our puppy, and sent us numerous pictures while we were away, which was fun and gave us assurance that our puppy was enjoying her stay with Kimball! Our puppy was just three months old, and this was her first time away from home, and it went wonderfully! I will definitely use Kimball again when we need a pet sitter.

Kimble was great! Nellie loved her. When we’re back in the area, we hope to use her again.

Kimble is absolutely fantastic! She exceeded our expectations in every way. She was great at communicating and getting right back to us. She sent pictures of all the walks and kept our Australian Cattle Dog very active. Now that we are back from vacation I think that Dingo misses her and is wondering when she will be back. We will be booking her again very soon!

We have a yellow lab named Carla. She is 9 months old. Kimble watched her last weekend while we were in Beaver Creek. She took Carla to the dog park, on hikes and played with her. She also sent pictures of Carla so we could see how she was doing. Would highly recommend her!!

Information Kimble R. would like to know about your pet

Even well-trained dogs may be fearful in a new environment. I would like to know any history of aggressive or shy behavior. Allergy, medication, and special requests should be written for easy and clear interpretation. If your dog does not do well around small children, then I am not the right fit. Thanks!

A typical day

I am also an avid runner and hiker. I have completed the John Muir Trail in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California (200+ miles of hiking over 2 weeks). I have also completed over 6 half marathons and 3 full marathons. So, I am rarely sitting still, and you can be sure your furry friend will get lots of outdoor time with me!
