I do recommend her, she is wonderful.”

“I cannot recommend Kim enough as a pet sitter and dog walker. She has been taking care of my goldendoodle, Rufio, for the past year, and her dedication and love for animals are truly exceptional. Kimberly is always punctual, reliable, and goes above and beyond to ensure Rufio is happy and well-exercised. Her genuine affection for pets is evident in the way she interacts with Rufio, and he absolutely adores her. Whether it's a long walk in the park or a cozy cuddle session, Kimberly provides the perfect balance of activity and care. I have complete peace of mind knowing that Rufio is in such capable and loving hands. Thank you, Kimberly, for being such an amazing pet sitter and dog walker!”
