Dog Walking and Pet Sitting in Bridgwater

Kim joined the Friends For Pets family in March 2018 when the Bridgwater Team was first set up and started to manage the team in September 2020. She has a lovely group of regular clients and has also been running the Bridgwater social media pages since February 2020. Having lived in Bridgwater all her life, Kim has a good knowledge of the local area. She lives with her son and daughter, along with their ex-stable cat Storm. Kim has always had a love for all animals and this really shows in her work. Whilst growing up, Kim always had pets at home – Mainly cats, but also tropical fish, rabbits and rats. Kim has also had mice, hamsters, gerbils, freshwater fish and land snails as pets. As a child, she helped with her aunty and uncle’s rough collies, going to national dog shows with them and being first in line to help with puppy socialization whenever they had a new litter of pups. As well as small animals Kim has experience with larger animals too, spending many hours helping at local riding stables in return for extra riding lessons. Kim has spent a large part of the past five years helping at a private yard, with a horse and pony on part loan for some of that time. Kim previously worked as an administrator but, when returning to work after having her two children, decided to fulfil her lifelong dream of working with animals. Prior to joining Friends For Pets Kim was a Branch Co-Ordinator for Cats Protection, which gave her an insight into management, animal welfare, marketing and compliance with legislation within the pet within the pet care sector/industry. Kim has completed her Pet First Aid for Pet Professionals Level 3 and has also added to her experience with various CPD courses, including Basic Canine Body Language, Dog Law, Basic Dog Training and Covid 19 Disease Control for Pet Professionals.
