Kim is punctual, attentive, and was very easy to communicate with. My dog Buddha bonded with her immediately. She paid close attention to her needs on every walk and always made sure she had fresh, clean water and was fully settled before she left. While we are transitioning off Rover to have family watch Buddha, I wanted to make sure to leave a glowing review here. Highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable walker!

Doggy Day Care • Aug 30, 2026

Kim was great with Cooper! We were in NH for a family reunion and didn’t have exact plans. We needed a lot of flexibility, and Kim was wonderfully accommodating. We had a nice meet and greet, where Kim was careful to introduce Cooper one at a time to the other dogs in her care. Cooper stayed a full day with Kim and John on Sunday, and very happily returned to her care for an even longer day on Tuesday. She has a nice fenced yard and can easily block off sections inside the house. If we are ever in Laconia again, I will definitely contact Kim. Thank you, Kim and John!

Kim was wonderful with our dog! She sent a short update and video of her walk. She followed our walking and care instructions. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup. We will definitely book with Kim again!
