About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of many different types of animals ever since I can remember. They aren't just pets, they are family. I currently have my own cat whose self sufficient (unless his bowl is empty then he's pretty mouthy). My job is 5 days a week 8 hours morning shift rotating days but I could leave for lunch for an afternoon walk. I have absolutely no issues with having the pets crated when I'm not available to be there but free roam when I am and plenty of play time and snuggles. Night time sleep cuddling is the best. I currently have my own two cats who are self sufficient (unless their bowl is empty or demanding snuggle time, then they are pretty mouthy.) I have absolutely no issues with having the pets crated when I'm not available to be there but free roam when I am and plenty of play time and snuggles. Night time sleep cuddling is the best.
“Kim is absolutely amazing! She gave us such peace of mind while we went away for the weekend. She took her time getting to know our dogs, and it is so appreciated as they are both quite anxious. She gave us updates with pictures(which was SOOO appreciated!). She is so wonderful and will definitely be asking her in the future! Thank you, Kim!!!”
About: The best thing about caring for animals, is seeing their personalities, what they consider manners, and seeing them light up when they're being respected on their terms too The best part of my mornings on my family farm, is taking a hike with the Bassett. Neither of us are satisfied with our morning until it happens. She needs it, and deserves it. While I'm away from her, I need to hike, or I get soft I ask owners what their pets needs and personalities are. What they consider manners, and if they are tricksters, what to expect. All animals are their own kind of person, and they deserve to be treated as such.
About: I have recently relocated back to this area, so I am opening my services back up. I previously worked through word of mouth. I am now in a different location upon moving back, so I am putting out my feelers for what may be needed in my current local area. If this sounds like something we can connect on, please feel free to reach out! I have been surrounded by animals from the time I was a young child. I love learning more about them and finding new ways to communicate with them. I have had many opportunities to care for several different breeds and sizes of dogs and cats. They never cease to intrigue and amaze me. Each one has their very own unique personality traits and tricks. I have had several four-legged siblings and loves throughout my years. My first love was a beautiful, white cat. Her name was Snowball. My second was Frankie. He was my baby stray kitten that I found in my yard, bottle fed, and nursed back to health. Now, I spend my extra time with my four-legged sister. She is a lab mix rescue, and we have an incredibly special bond. It has become my therapy and passion to work with animals, and I truly Iook forward to meeting you and your loves! I recently relocated back to the area, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I am flexible with days and times. I have years of experience, and I am willing and able to properly provide the care you need. Each animal has different needs and personality traits, so I look forward to hearing and learning about yours.
