Highlights
Pet care experience
HomeFullTime FencedYard 5mi to Hwy
I have cared for dogs extra small to giant breeds, including those with special diets, missing limbs, medication requirements, and seizures. I send frequent picture updates in the app and I thoroughly read your pet's profile needs. I'm currently working part-time from home with a lot of availability. Pets free roam my open concept living space while I work on the computer within their sight. My yard is large AND HAS A FENCED ZONE ATTACHED TO THE HOUSE! My road is private and there is no traffic. I have a golden retriever who is very intuitive to other dog's special needs. He knows how to play gently, or not at all, with elderly, disabled, or small dogs. My small maltese is a couch potato that knows how to navigate around high energy and giant breeds. I can crate your pet if you desire. Located in a country setting just a few miles off the highway, midway between Kalamazoo/Portage - Grand Rapids/Byron Center and Holland/Allegan - Plainwell/Richland, -- and easily accessible by many neighboring cities and towns. Accepts last minute bookings and loves overnights and extended stays. Can accept multiple dogs and will accept only your dog(s), if you prefer, during your stay.

Ratings and reviews
Kim did an exceptional job taking care of our two dogs for a two week period. She communicated well throughout and provided daily updates that were highly appreciated. Upon our return we could tell that they were happy and well cared for. We would not hesitate to leave our dogs with her in the future.
Thank you Kim. Scooter comes home happy and tired!
I honestly cant say enough good things about Kim and her family!! She is amazing with our pups and always goes above and beyond! It’s amazing to be able to travel without stressing if our pup is okay or not, when she’s with Kim we know she’s going to have an amazing time!!
First time using a sitter and was nervous. Kim is fantastic and my puppy had a great time! I enjoyed the daily updates and photos. After receiving a picture after his first night, I knew he was in good hands. Thank you Kim and family!
Kim responded quickly and clearly to messages, helping me (a first time Rover user) complete the booking through the app. We appreciated the frequent texts and pictures- Benny's poses were those we see every day. Benny felt quite obviously at home from the moment Kim opened the door. He was happy and content when we picked him up. We will definitely keep Kim on our list if we need to board Benny again.
Kim sent us pictures everyday helping us to see our pets interacting with the family and their dogs. Her communication helped us enjoy our vacation without worry and I am quite sure my two labradors had a fun vacation as well. When we came home I am sure my dogs missed their new friends. Thank you so much Kim and family!

Schedule
I am home full time. Your schedule is followed to keep your pet comfortable. Pets are at ease with consistency and a calm environment where they enjoy play, cuddles, and lots of choices for comfortable naps.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Pets are allowed on the furniture where cuddles are encouraged. Home is kept super clean and smoke free. Open concept home means your pet is always within sight and kept on the main level. A portion of the yard for pets is completely enclosed with a fence leading to an entry/exit of the home so that escape artists never have a chance. 😀

A typical day
I like to take walks on my private road, where there is no traffic, and the other nearby roads which are in a country setting.
