Pet Care That’s Personal, Calm, and Intentional

I provide in-home pet care built around routine, patience, and close attention to detail. I take on a small number of recurring clients by design — that’s what allows me to actually know your pet. Their patterns, their triggers, their personality. Not just show up and go through the motions.

Care That Actually Gets It

Same Routine, Every Time

Same feeding schedule, same walk time, same quiet routine. I follow their normal day — not whatever’s convenient for me.

Presence Over Speed

Every visit gets the full time it needs. Your pet gets presence and patience, not someone checking boxes and leaving.

Cat-Informed Care

Cats are not small dogs. I work at their pace, respect what they need to feel safe, and never push past their comfort zone.

Attentive By Default

If something seems off — appetite, energy, behavior, litter habits — you’ll hear about it. The small things are usually the first signs something is wrong. This is only possible because I see the same animals consistently.

You Won't Be Left Wondering

Detailed updates after every visit, not a thumbs-up text. You’ll see how they’re eating, how they’re feeling, and whether their routine is in tact.

Legit, Not Just Likable

What Pet Parents Say

Care That Peninsula Pet Parents Trust

Casey M.
Redwood City, CA | Oliver, Phineas, & Adeline
Finding a reliable pet sitter is usually stressful, but Kim is always a breath of fresh air. The level of care provided is truly exceptional. From the start, the communication has been consistent and detailed, which gives us such peace of mind while we are away. It is clear that Kim does not just see this as a job. She genuinely cares about our pets on a personal level and takes the time to understand their unique quirks. Kim is quite adept at working with animals with behavior challenges as well. We even receive thoughtful follow up messages. We cannot recommend Kim enough.

“Kim is a top-notch kitty sitter in every way and we are SO glad we found her!! She truly treats our kitties like her own, taking the time to learn (and delight in) their little personalities. She's a wonderfully responsive, thoughtful communicator, always sending us a thorough report and great photos from her visits. It's always hard to leave our kitties when we travel, but we know they are in the best possible hands with Kim.”
Rebecca C.
Redwood City, CA | Max & Olivia Benson
Kim is beyond excellent and uniquely gifted and compassionate with animals! She catsits for us and our next door neighbors. Kim helped us identify our neighbor's cat and came to our neighborhood on a Friday night during the holidays when it had been raining to get the cat back for its owners. She treats the animals that she pet sits for like her own. She is absolutely wonderful to work with and has gotten to know our cats and their personalities. One of our cats is very scared of most people, but he loves Kim and is always happy to see her! She is attentive to detail and communicative. She will continue to be our first call when we need someone to check in on our cats!

"Kim is my go-to cat sitter. She truly understands that every cat has a unique personality and adapts to their individual needs. She’s friendly, responsive, communicative, and always sends thoughtful updates with photos. Two of my cats warmed up to her immediately, which is rare, and she’s been incredibly patient and respectful with my more timid cat while making sure he’s well cared for. I always feel confident my cats are in great hands with Kim."

"Kim is the best!! She loves my cats and they love her because of how attentive and careful she is to give them all the best treats, care and snuggles 🥰"

"If I could give more stars to Kim, I absolutely would! She has been patient and WONDERFUL with my abused rescue pitty Bella. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

"We were just looking for a responsible person to feed our cats for a week. We got SO much more! Kim showed genuine affection for our cats. Played with them everyday, took wonderful photos and sent us daily updates that assured us all was well at home. She has great attention to detail and loves her job. We will DEFINITELY be using her again!"

"Kim is great and always goes above and beyond when walking my dog or doing check-in on my cats. She always communicates well and takes amazing care of all my animals. I always come home to happy animals."
Stephanie G.
Redwood City, CA | Grim & Sandwich the Tortoise
"Kim has taken care of my cat and Russian tortoise a few times now, and she has done a wonderful job. She's very communicative and goes above and beyond to give my cat plenty of attention and additional special care to my tortoise as needed. She gives thorough and reassuring updates with lots of photos to show that all is well, and knowing they have her care and attention gives me peace of mind especially on longer trips, as I know my cat otherwise gets depressed when I'm gone—but I think he now looks forward to it because then he gets Kim! He is very shy with new people, but he ADORES her and is obviously excited to see her when she comes by, and her visits keep him in much better spirits. Highly recommended."
Sydney R.
Belmont, CA | Symba & Mochi
"Kim is absolutely WONDERFUL. She is the reason I am able to go away for my bachelorette and wedding, and not have to worry about my 2 cats. I have some pretty severe anxiety leaving my cats because of a really terrible experience I had a couple of years ago. My mom kept raving about her new dog walker and how much she loves her. She told me she also does cat sitting and shortly after, I began talking to Kim. She came over to meet my babies and was so sweet the whole time. One of my cats is a little anxious guy, and she knew exactly how to try to approach him without doing too much. I expected him to hide when she got near him but he did really well! While her and I were talking about the dates I need her help, she gave me the space to share about my worries and anxiety, and reassured me through it all. She even let me talk through some “what if” scenarios and made me feel so much more comfortable. Of course I will miss my babies so much when I go on my bachelorette, but I have no doubt in my mind that Kim will go above and beyond to give them the attention they need. Plus, she has done GREAT work with my mom’s dog. I’m starting to think Bella likes Kim more than me…I’ll let it slide though Kim😆"
Andi K.

"Kim was so attentive and thoughtful in caring for our elderly cat. She gave him plenty of attention and asked all the right questions about his care. He's not the most social cat but warmed up to her quickly, and that means a lot to me. Thanks again Kim!"
