Pet care experience
🐶 Dog Mom & Brooklyn Sitter 🌸
Hi, I'm Kim! Your dog will get a sitter who treats every stay like it's for my own including active walks and play for high-energy pups, or calm, patient attention for dogs who need extra reassurance, all tailored to what your pup needs. I have experience with dogs who have social or separation anxiety (including my own pup who once was like this as well), and I take time to help them settle in. Many dogs quickly bond with my own dog, Milo, and love having a playmate during their stay, some pups have even wanted to stick around after pickup! I send regular photo and video updates throughout the stay, including things like puzzle feeders, healthy frozen treats or chews and playtime, so you always know how your pup is doing. Dogs in my care are welcome on the couch and get plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. They are never left home alone at my place. My goal is for your dog to feel like part of the family while you're away. I offer boarding, daycare, and walking on weekends and weekday mornings/evenings.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Maybe loves going to Kim's! Kim and her pup Milo are very generous about sharing their snacks, which is perfect for my foodie dog :)
Kim is always professional, communicative, and treats Maybe like her own niece. 10/10 recommend.
Kim is super communicative, providing lots of picture updates and a play-by-play of what my dog was up to while she was being boarded! Maybe had a great time playing with her friend Milo and didn't want to leave — for the whole day, she kept trying to walk back in the direction of Kim's apartment!
Peanut had a blast with her new best friend Milo! Thank you Kim!
Our dog Maybe had a great time with Kim and her cute pup Milo! We were so happy to get cute picture updates of Maybe having fun with puzzle feeders, lick mats, and hanging out next to Milo. We would love to have Kim watch our pup again!
I started using Kim for weekly walks a few months ago and it's been such a relief. As someone with an unpredictable work schedule, knowing my dog is in good hands on the days I can't get home in time means everything. The communication is great. I always get a message when she picks him up and drops him off, plus photos along the way. My dog is always worn out and happy when I get home, which tells me everything I need to know. I also started bringing him for weekend daycare and it's become something he genuinely looks forward to. He gets to spend the day playing with her dog, which he absolutely loves. He bolts to the door the second we pull up, which says it all. It gives me the freedom to run errands or just have a day to myself without any guilt. Reliable, caring, and clearly an animal lover. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker and daycare.

Schedule
Please note: Oct 31st -- services will not be available from 10am-3pm. Taking care of dogs is just part of my normal day! I’m used to walking, feeding, and playing with my own pup, so adding another furry friend to the routine is seamless. I love being outside, so daily walks and play sessions are something I always look forward to, and I make sure each dog gets the care and attention they need throughout the time they're with me.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a clean, safe and welcoming environment where dogs feel comfortable and cared for. Boarding and daycare include regular walks, playtime with my dog, and rest to match each dog’s needs. For walks, I adjust the pace and length to fit your dog’s energy level. I offer boarding, daycare, and walking on weekends and weekday mornings/evenings, with full attention on the dogs in my care.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day includes walks to nearby spots like Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Promenade, or the dog park for fresh air and playtime. Depending on your pup’s energy, we might run, play fetch, or just stroll and enjoy the views. I balance exercise with breaks and cuddles so every dog feels happy, relaxed, and cared for. I also offer puzzles, healthy frozen treats or chews plus fun games to keep your pup mentally stimulated.

- To make sure your dog feels right at home, it helps to know: -Any allergies or dietary needs (including food they like and don't like). My dog has a sensitive GI so all the treats and chews I provide use clean and natural ingredients, including chews, frozen yogurt lick mats and homemade blueberry / peanut butter pupsicles. -Dogs or situations they're uncomfortable with, and anything about their routine or personality I should know going in. The more you share, the better I can make their stay! Note - Upon drop off, please provide any toys/food for your pup that you think would make their stay more comfortable.
