About Kim

 I grew up in One Tree Hill and we had all kinds of pets there ranging from horses to dogs, cats and a pidgeon. My sister has a dog who is adorable and a bit naughty but he's family! We know not to leave food unattended in the kitchen. My motivation to be a pet sitter is so that I can make a bit of extra money and have time with dogs and other cute animals. I'm not ready to be a full time dog mama so this is the next best thing.

I took in my neighbour's cat for 6 months when he didn't have a house to leave him at. He had been taking care of his dad and when his dad passed away, he couldn't stay in the house. That cat and I became great buddies (he's the one on the orange couch in the photos). 

I teach voice mostly via Zoom lessons and I am studying at home, I am finishing my uni degree, majoring in music, Italian and linguistics. It's good to take brain breaks and go on walks with dogs. I can house sit because I just need internet to work and study. That way they also have tons of company and attention.

My darling pug Grace passed away last year at the age of 15. I rescued her from a puppy mill and we had a beautiful life together. My first pug, Pugsley also lived until almost 15 and was so so precious to me. I was living in the Netherland until last year when Grace died and then I was able to come home to Adelaide. Family is very important to me. My life is quite simple, I like to be with my family, study and teach voice. I really enjoy pet/house sitting too. 

Pugs are my absolute speciality, I had two in my lifetime. I did a lot of dog sitting when I lived overseas and am very protective and caring. I know how important your pets are to you and I want you to feel happy and ok about leaving them with me. That said, I love all dogs, cats and bunnies!

 I recently fostered a bonded pair of pug calvalier mix boys for 5 weeks, they got adopted on the 19th of April.

 Dogs are just wonderful and I'm more than happy to do some dog walking close to Sempaphore area. I love giving dogs nice long walks and letting them go at their own pace. I know that they like to sniff things and that they really relax from a good half hour or longer walk. I also understand that pugs can't go out when it is very hot. Older dogs like to walk a lot slower but they still love to go out and enjoy the adventure. I have been a pet sitter for many years and have a lot of experience with both cats and dogs. I am great with cats and have looked after many and understand how to give medication and lots of attention. 

I also have a police check certificate.
