“We are thrilled to write this review to share our amazing experience with Kim. My family went on a 2 week vacation and we were in need of someone kind and caring to care for our two kitties and fish during our trip. Kim, prior to our departure, came over to our house for a walk through and to meet the cats. She spent the time getting to know the cats, their habits, and letting them get to know her. While we were away Kim exceeded our expectations. In addition to attending to the needs of the cats and fish, she provided the cats with tons of love and entertainment, kept us fully up to date on how the animals were doing, and sent us pictures and video. We have never returned from a vacation with such happy kitties. We highly recommend Kim to anyone in need of a pet sitter. 10/10!!! We would ask her for her services again without hesitation.”
“I absolutely and highly recommend Kim for her pet sitting services! I have used Kim several times over the last few years for our small rescue pup. Her home has become a home away from home for Izzy when we vacation. Our dog gets a bit of anxiety when she is left, but Kim always makes her feel very comfortable and well loved while she is away from ‘her people’. Her kitties welcome her to their pack and Izzy loves to play with them. Kim sends daily pictures/videos of our dog playing and having a good old time. Kim even let her take over the other pillow on her bed at night because that is where she wanted to sleep! She also always puts Izzy’s needs at the forefront of her day so she can accommodate her. I can always depend on Kim to take the best care of our fur baby and when we return from vacation, she is so happy she almost doesn’t want to leave! Kim is dependable, caring and playful, taking special care to meet our dog’s special needs. She is always our first call when we need a dog sitter and I haven’t trusted anyone else!”
“Kim did a fantastic Job with my pet gecko when I was on vacation just a little while ago. She went above and beyond my expectations and what I had asked, sending me regular updates, making sure I knew she was ok, and keeping her very well fed. She did a fantastic job, and I’d be very happy to ask for her services again, for any of my pets. 5 Stars! (Aidan, Jade and the crisp family) thanks again!”
