From the minute my dog met her I could tell how comfortable she was even with his excitement and jumping as he was getting to know her. She sent videos, photos, took him on walks and play dates and provided updates about our fur buddy. We could clearly tell he was having a wonderful time. Thank you for making a slightly stressful time, so much less stressful. We HIGHLY recommend Kimberly for any dog sitting needs as she went above and beyond for our bully!”
