About Kim
안녕하세요! I’m an experienced pet-grooming and boarding salon assistant, as well as a dedicated pet sitter from South Korea.
My days are filled with peaceful teatime, soft music, tidy spaces, books, yoga—and every animal that stays with me naturally settles into this calm lifestyle.
Animals have been at the center of my life. My Korean family volunteered at a local shelter. We adopted four dogs, rescued and rehomed kittens, and today my family cares for nine cats who taught me patience, compassion, and how to earn an animal’s trust simply by giving them time and space.
These instincts often surprise my Italian family. I naturally befriend timid garden cats, picky and anxious dogs, and shy animals of all kinds. They come to me in their own time. Seeing them warm up to me and building that quiet bond are my greatest joy.
My fluffy salon work strengthened the ability to support animals who are scared or confused in unfamiliar environments. It requires different approach from caring for your own furry family members at home, and I specialize in creating a relaxed, structured environment for them.
I offer calm, reliable, and detail-oriented care that helps our four-legged family members feel safe and their humans feel confident. My priorities are keeping them safe and comfortable, providing emotional reassurance, and minimizing stress.
If you need a trustworthy, responsible, and experienced pet sitter who prioritizes safety, communication, and a stress-free environment, I’d be delighted to support your pet’s needs.
- Boarding and daycare service
Caring for a nervous or confused animal in an unfamiliar space is very different from caring for them as their human would in their own home, and I’m deeply aware of that distinction. I provide tailored care based on a strong understanding of animal body language and behavior, developed through work experience and hands-on care. Every guest has their own comfort level, personality, and preferences, and I take the time to read, respect, and respond to them accordingly.
Some guests prefer a quiet day with space, while others seek affection and interaction. I never force contact. All interaction is initiated at the guest’s pace. When they want space, I respect it. When they want affection, they’ll be showered with love. Velcro cat? No problem. Couch potadog? I'll potato together. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, understood, and at ease in my care.
I can care for a maximum of two dogs or four cats, from up to 2 households at a time for boarding. For daycare services, I only host guests from the same household at a time to minimize unnecessary stress and tension. That being said, I do not operate daycare when I have boarding guest.
For the wellbeing of every animal in my care, I’m unable to accommodate fluffy family members with any contagious or infectious conditions. To keep a clean and comfortable space for all guests, I kindly ask that pets arrive in reasonable hygienic condition (e.g., free of heavy mud or strong odors).
For cats:
- All cats will be safely secured indoors 24/7 for their own protection.
- I provide individualized care based on a strong understanding of feline behavior and environmental needs, with appropriate visual and sensory enrichment within a comfortable home setup (e.g., elevated bowls, hideouts, and cat cinema).
- Shy or independent cats are given calm space and gentle observation. Affectionate or playful cats receive plenty of attention, cuddle and hours of playtime.
For dogs:
- I offer enrichment activities such as nose work and walk exercises, guided by canine behavior principles and adapted to each dog’s energy level and comfort.
- Anxious or high-energy dogs benefit from structured and calm routines that help them feel more balanced. That said, if they are crate-trained for resting or have a strong preference for their own bed, I encourage you to bring it along.
- Please double, triple-check that their leash is sturdy and in good condition, and do not forget to bring the leash itself.
Guests should bring their own food and treats to maintain a safe and consistent diet.
If guest has an emotional support blanket or a favorite toy, please bring it along.
For hygiene and safety reasons, I do not provide shared toys that involve direct mouth contact (such as wand toys, tug toys, or chew toys). Environmental enrichment (such as scratchers and snuffle mat) is provided, and guests are kindly asked to bring their own toys to prevent cross-contamination and ensure comfort.
Whether they prefer a carpet, sofa, or cozy corner, they will have plenty of safe places to snuggle.
All areas are thoroughly secured, least exposed wires, no breakable objects on height, and no access to dangerous human foods or plant.
Except for the toilet and stove, most surfaces are cleaned with pet-friendly products for their health.
An air purifier runs 24/7, except during brief periods when I ventilate the space.
A small electric heating pad is available for the animals who are extra sensitive to the cold. It is used carefully and only under supervision to prevent low-heat burns.
For daycare services, the stay is shorter than boarding, so potty breaks and walks are provided in a lighter schedule. However, if your dog needs additional breaks, I’m always happy to adjust.
I live just a stone’s throw away from parco paradiso, so I can guarantee enjoyable and quality walks for your precious dogs everyday.
