“Hi, I’m Kimberley, and I love animals!

Pets are family and it’s hard to leave them when we vacation or travel for work. We worry about whether we’ve left them in good and trustworthy hands- especially if they have specials needs such as medication.

I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and fish, and, as an adult, I’ve had more cats, more dogs, and guinea pigs. All except one of my pets died of old age.

I currently have two dogs, a black Lab named Saoirse and a mixed breed named Momo-chan, who is part Pekingese and (apparently) part Luck Dragon.

I became a vegetarian at 16 years old because I didn’t think it was just to eat animals. Full disclosure, though: I’ve recently become a pescatarian for health reasons.

I’ve been a librarian for 27 years and I’ve worked at UVA for the past 16 of them. ”
