About Kimi

Active animal lover with extensive experience caring for dogs and cats. Although I don't currently own a pet due to housing constraints, I genuinely miss the companionship and joy that animals bring to my life. As a dedicated dog and cat sitter, my primary goal is to provide exceptional care and create a comfortable environment for your furry friends.

Throughout my journey, I have been entrusted with the care of various pets, including those of friends, family, and clients on platforms like Pawshake. I treat every pet as if they were my own, showering them with love, attention, and personalized care. Whether it's taking them for walks, engaging in playtime, or providing companionship while you're away, I ensure that your pets receive the utmost care and affection.

Services I offer include:

1. Dog Walking: I tailor each walk to suit your dog's needs, ensuring they get the exercise and mental stimulation they require. Walks typically last between 30 to 45 minutes, depending on your dog's size and energy levels. In my neighborhood, there are fantastic off-leash dog parks just a short 5-minutes away.

2. Housesitting: I offer reliable housesitting services to ensure your home remains safe and secure while you're away. During my stay, I'll adhere to your pet's routine, provide regular feeding, watering, and take care of your house plants. I also make it a priority to spend quality time with your pets, offering cuddles and companionship. Housesits conclude the morning if the final booked day. If you require me to stay beyond that, please book an extra night (i.e. I leave around 10am, but you need me to stay longer than that, I will need to add another booking to cover the extra time)

3. Home Visits: If you prefer your pets to stay in the comfort of their own home, I can visit them to provide essential care, affection, and playtime. Home visits typically last up to an hour, during which I'll ensure your pets are fed, watered, and receive the affection and attention they need.

4. Doggy Boarding: For short-term stays of a week or less, I can accommodate small dogs at my home. Rest assured that your furry friend will receive a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of love and care.

5. Doggy Daycare: I am trying this out at the moment as my job has become a lot more flexible. I also have a partner who works from home so there will always be someone to entertain the dog if I am in a meeting or have to run out for an errand. We are looking to get a dog next year, but until then, Pawshake will have to do!

My availability is as follows:

  • During weekdays, I work 1-2 days in the office. Therefore, I'm available for dog walking, home visits, and housesitting in the afternoons and evenings. For dogs needing constant supervision, I can only offer short-term sits of a week or less. I can be quite flexible though, so please reach out and let's see what we can arrange.
  • On weekends, I'm more flexible and available for morning and afternoon/evening visits. As I am based around Elwood and CBD (for work), my prefernce is for pets located nearby. Even better if public transport accessible as I do not drive into the office.
  • I understand the importance of maintaining your pet's routine, and I'm more than happy to take them for visits with family and friends or to dog parks if they enjoy such outings. Your pet's safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priorities.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. I have a wealth of repeat customers who can provide references upon request. Thank you for considering me as your trusted dog and cat sitter. I'm excited to meet you and your beloved pets soon!

    Kimi looked after our dog Maggie for the weekend and kept us updated with photos and was a fantastic sitter! Prompt communication and reliable and we'd happily book her services again!

    Kimi took excellent care of our two cats, both of which required daily medication at the time, which she handled with ease. Kimi was a great communicator and sent us plenty of pics to keep us at ease. Both cats were in high spirits when we arrived back home!
