About Kimberly

I was raised on a large plot on South Africa with 8 stables occupied by several horses at a time... no stable yard is complete without a few fiesty Jack Russels, a majestic family of Rhodesian Ridgebacks, and of course a stable cat, all living in harmony! My love for animals and caring for them with physical affection, kind conversation, and treats are elements of my love-language. My yearn for animal company deepens the longer I have been away from my family home, and all of our fluffy-friends that keep Mum and Dad company back home in South Africa. I am physically very energetic and emotionally in tune with energy. I always channel my awareness especially around animals and nature. We are spectrums of both alike, and both deserve the utmost respect.

I have worked in many house holds in South Africa and Florida, US- caring for other families homes and animals. Treating all animals with respect and loyalty is a part of my nature.

I am currently living on a beautiful property in Launceston, Tasmania, with a green, lush garden, and lawn, shadowed by fruit trees and an open space home occupied by myself, my partner, and brother-in-law. I have a flexible schedule at current, and the neighbourhood is very safe. We often walk to the Newstead reserve and the parks surrounding us which are all pet-friendly. 

Unfortunately, there is not gate on the property, however there is a fence between us and the neighbours, all day-care sitting animals would be supervised when outside, mainly prioritising walks.

Specific Skills

I speak English
+10 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
Back home in South Africa, on my families property, we have 2 rescue pups that occupy the space alongside our grand and majestic Gelding horse that my Mum and I have shared for 15years. His name is Cruz, and the 2 boys (rescue pups) are Mitch and Clive. When Mitch arrived into our lives, he brought so much joy with his kind eyes and his little under-bite. He began to follow me everywhere, always ensuring that I am safe. We shared my bedroom and began to speak the same language. Mitch is an old boy now, however, he will still run along the beach and swim in the cold Atlantic, so long as I am going in, he’ll be right beside me. There is a lot of mutual trust and respect that we have created together. Clive arrived into our lives, with his naturally very excitable energy, however, a calm dog is a dog who feels safe and comfortable, for the handler and the dog, some work has to be done… I spent a lot of quality time with Clive and Mitch together, walking, hiking, running along the beach, and swimming. These outdoor activities and adventures enabled Clive to recognise my body language and voice, his calm and loyal nature began to blossom with patience, enthusiasm, and a good sense of humour. Both of my boys are trained on and off the lead and the 4 of us, Cruzie, Mitch (Moo-moo), Clivey, and myself enjoy sunset walks to the green belt where the boys can run and sniff all the bushes and Cruz can graze and munch on the lush green grass.
