Home Full Time. Extra Safe Care.

Pet care experience

Fewer Clients = Safer Stay. I have all 5 star reviews, but not many reviewers, why? I am ensuring your pup's safety and mine by making sure Rover requests are a good fit. I cherry-pick my client list to keep everyone healthy and safe. I encourage you to also thoroughly review who you select to care for your pup. I encourage you to fill out your Rover profile completely because caretakers, like myself, do review it before accepting your booking. After you submit a request for care, I will ask questions and make sure we are a good fit for each other. I have cared for dogs extra small to giant breeds, including those with special diets, missing limbs, medication requirements, and epileptic seizures. I have also cared for special needs cats. 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. We are able to take frequent breaks. My yard is large, we regularly leash walk the clean grass acre, AND NOW HAS A COMPLETELY ENCLOSED FENCED ZONE FOR PETS! 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 and Grand Rapids/Byron Center, 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. Looking to be as accommodating as possible.

Kim was amazing with my girls and she provided amazing communication during a crazy snow storm! We would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet care!

Kim gave me peace of mind and checked in with photos and updates and my doggos. Treated them like family and they seemed great when I picked them up. When I need a dog sitter again I won’t hesitate to use her.

Teddy had a wonderful 3 day stay with Kim. She took real good care of him. Next time I need to board Teddy I would leave him with Kim. She sent photos of Teddy over the days he was there so I could see how he was doing. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone that needs someone to look after their dog,
