About Me
Hi! My name is Kimberly MacGregor.
I’m a Jersey girl who relocated to Florida in August 2015. I lived in Pasco County (just north of Tampa) for over five years until relocating to Vero Beach in September 2020. I currently devote the majority of my time and energy into my business, Wild Thing Dog & House Sitting, as well as being a dog mama to Thor.
My former career
My background includes a Bachelors degree in Spanish and a Masters in Social Work. I was employed as a Social Worker for over a decade, working with at-risk and special needs children and families.
In March 2019, I took a sabbatical and spent the month living #BeUnsettled in Buenos Aires, Argentina. (Https://beunsettled.co)
I took this time off to explore, reflect and make a plan for the next chapter in my life. Shortly after deciding to change careers, I began offering dog walking and house sitting services. I've had a true passion for canines since I was a young girl, so it was a natural fit for me along with my active lifestyle.
All things spiritual
I enjoy all things spiritual including yoga, nature, music, art and last but not least, animals. My passion for pups dates back to childhood. Although I had no dogs of my own, my aunt had a loving Doberman named Luna whose company I truly enjoyed. My best friend had a sweet Golden Retriever named Daisy that I adored.
During my college years, I volunteered with Guiding Eyes for the Blind and The Seeing Eye. I learned how to provide basic level obedience training to the pups. I had the opportunity to puppy sit for Jade, a beautiful yellow Labrador who eventually graduated the program to become a working guide dog. It was then that I fell in love with Labrador Retrievers. Several years later, I met my uncle’s loving German Shepherd, Rocky. As you can tell, many very special dogs have impacted my life from a young age.
