About: I've had pets my whole life and in my 20's I pet sat for years I love both dogs and cat and would love yours I currently work part time from home I am very flexible during the day to walk or feed your dog or just keep company I currently walk about 3 miles 5 days a week with a friends dog I could do the same with your dog I live in a 2nd floor condo with a fenced in yard I would walk your dog daily to get the exercise needed I live up the road from a park.

About: My family has had one or more dogs since I can remember; big and small, calm and active! Taking care of animals is one of my passions, not only does it benefit the pet to receive attentive and genuine care, but it’s awesome to spend some time bonding with animals personally! I’m currently working part time and going to be starting school, open to boarding on weekends but can do checkins, sit ins, walks etc. Anytime I’m free, I LOVE walking/hiking so will always be willing to take your pet on a nice walk. I have a fenced in yard, and one other small female dog. I also own 2 ferrets which free roam in the basement (the only off limits area). The yard is completely fenced so the pet will have access to the entire yard and also access to house.

“Cece was super with my 3 small dogs! Really gave me a piece of mind to know she was caring for our pups when we were away! She also sent beautiful pictures! Very happy thank you!”


About: I am an avid animal lover. I have taken care of dogs (dog sitting and dog walking) for neighbors and family friends for the last 5 years. I am diligent and responsible. I am pursuing Division 1 athletics next year, so if your pet has energy, I can match it! I am free almost every day, especially during typical work hours. If you have a busy lifestyle, I am more than happy to help out! In my own home, I walk my dog daily, feed him, and spend time with him outside. I also feed my cat and make sure she is safe outside (coyotes, etc., live in my neighborhood). At my clients' homes, I typically walk their dogs and spend time with them when their owners are at work/on vacation.


“A fantastic relationship through and through. Kim is extremely responsive to communications. Her interaction with my little dog Fred - who is very shy and tentative with new people - was great. She reassured me during my trip that Fred was doing well and interacted with Kim very well. I am grateful for the sitting / home visits Kim provided. I would not hesitate to use Kim in the future.”
