KIMBERLEY MATCHEM & ROLO
Kimberley, a lover of all things animal, was born and raised in Merritt, British Columbia. In 2006, at the age of only 19, she found her way to the heart of the oil sands, Fort McMurray, and has been here ever since. She calls YMM home alongside her husband (Brett), stepson (Cameron) & dog (Rolo). With being a professional pet blogger her passion for being an animal advocate & animal lover has stretched beyond our region reaching all over the world with her blog “Confessions of a Rescue Mom”. The blog was inspired by her Internet-famous, former shelter dog, Rolo who was adopted from the Fort McMurray SPCA in 2011. She loves sharing tips & ideas on how to make your pet parent experience perfect!
