Active dog lover
Pet care experience
My friends know me as the friend who loves their dogs and the go-to for pup-sitting and house-sitting. I often volunteer to watch my friends’ pets so that I can spend time with them. It started when I walked and cared for my grandmother's corgi and her elderly terrier mix. While babysitting in college, I volunteered to take care of the family's senior dog as well: replenishing the dog's water bowl and going for walks, while keeping the baby safe and cared for. It continued with fostering puppies with my roommates. You can rely on me to keep your dogs company on date nights, vacations, or dropping in for a long walk (as preferred by the dog and their human of course). Some friends have noted that their usually apprehensive dogs have warmed up to me quicker than others -- it's my favorite to get to know new dogs and their personalities to develop the best friendship. Puppies: I will support your training goals and reinforce learning! I have a soft spot for medium/large senior dogs, but have experience with puppies through senior dogs.
Reviews
Had Kimberly help out with a last minute change of plans due to a flight cancellation and did amazing as always!
This is my second time using Kimberly to pet sit Emmy and again she did an amazing job. I was away for longer than usual out of the country for a vacation and Kimberly provided me with detailed updates everyday. Appreciate her thoroughness and thoughtfulness when taking care of Emmy. Will be looking forward to having Kimberly stay with Emmy in the future!
Kimberley was great with both my dogs, paid attention to w well being, was proactive about getting mail inside and also ensuring my dogs ate well:) bWe would definitely hire her for future house sitting ☺️
Had kimberly swing by for a quick drop in with Emmy and did absolutely wonderful! Emmy was spayed this week so had to be kept on the leash while outside and Kimberly always does an amazing job listening and ensuring your dogs are well taken care of. Highly recommend for drop in visits as well :)

Safety, trust & environment
You can trust me to keep your pet company while keeping your space clean and tidy. Your dog(s)'s safety is my priority. I know some dogs are anxious away from their human and I will do my best to meet their needs, respect the house rules, and provide updates to you! If the dog is comfortable with hugs, I welcome all the hug breaks! If house-sitting, I will only be watching your dog(s) during the duration and will not take on other pets.
Information Kimberly R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your dog's needs ahead of time, like the schedule of pee/poo and walks, medications, needs for long or short walks, etc. I ask that you provide anything your dog will need during the visit, like medications. How is your dog with other dogs and other people? Happy to schedule a meet and greet!
A typical day
I love to match the dog's energy for their preference of the length of walks so they can explore all the new scents on the path. I am down for a trail walk, hilly neighborhoods, or a light jog. If playing catch and running around with them in an enclosed yard is more their speed, that sounds good, too!
