Pennock Island Pet Holiday

Pet care experience

While you’re off on trips you can give your puppy the gift of road free living on the island of Pennock, a slice of heaven for dogs that enjoy the big outdoors and lots of hiking. I am self employed and work from home. I enjoy having dogs here and walking the beaches with them. Depending on the tides I walk one long walk a day and then multiple outdoor runarounds as I am usually working on outdoor projects. Typically I will meet you ahead of time with my dog Poppy. First off she will disgrace herself by barking and looking mean. She’s a street rescue from Guatemala and this is her defense mechanism... it never makes for a pretty start but she’s all bluster and has never harmed or been in a fight. After 5 minutes or so it’s all over and your puppy will be part of the pack. I am working hard on training this habit out of her but it’s unsettling right away and now you know. If we can allow them to meet off leash after the initial ‘I am a beast’ 5 minute introduction and they get to hang for a while then the drop off will be calmer and less stressful for both animals. I am a dog lover and will offer your dog the same love and care I share with my puppy. For locals I have used Dr Marna at Island to Island for care of my now gone dog Edo and 2 milking goats who are also now gone. She now takes good health care of Poppy. Pretty flexible with your requirements and will follow your preferences. I need time to sit and meet you and your pet ahead of time.

Kim is fantastic. She took very good care of Keta, is open to flexibility in scheduling/logistics, and is very responsive. Kim's pup, Poppy, got along well with mine. I definitely will book Kim again in the future.

Kim was awesome, took our pup out with her dog 4 wheeling, and on the boat. Pick up and drop off, she was early and relatable even through having to taking her boat in some questionable weather. She kept great contact and picture updates. We will definitely be using her again.

Kim is awesome! I highly recommend her. We were on a sailboat and had to leave our dog, Saylor for a few days. Kim met us at our boat with her dog. Saylor liked Kim right away, and a few days later Kim came by boat to fetch Saylor and take her to her island home. What an adventure Saylor had! Beachwalks, playing with other dogs, amazing sunsets, and a view from the couch. Kim sent pictures every day with updates on their activities. I loved the video she sent with Saylor and the other dogs. She is a wonderful caregiver and I would absolutely use her services again. Btw, not onlynis she great with dogs, she is warm, friendly and fun to chat with. She went out of her way to help us with boat logistics and recommendations. Truly a wonderful experience.

My Puppies love Kim and greet her like their best friend ever. They tell me every detail of their adventures with Kim which includes long walks, lots of pets and a little something special about the way she talks to them that they just love to bits. ....I appreciate the photographs she sends that warms my heart and make me feel comfortable knowing my fur babies are in good hands on as much as I miss they I know they are in good hands...... As a side note, my house looks better when I come home and the neighbors always enjoy it when she comes to visit the neighborhood.

Information Kim K. would like to know about your pet

I want to have time with you and meet your pet in an outdoor setting with my dog. It helps to meet in a neutral setting. A half hour chat with the dogs seems to make an easier transition and I like to meet a few days before so it’s not a rushed hand off meeting.
