Dogs are our kids!
Pet care experience
Playing, cuddling and lots of pampering is what your dog will receive during their stay at our home. We are huge animal lovers, and it's all about the pups at our house! We will care for your loved ones like they were our own children so that you can have peace of mind while you are away. Many families have come to know and trust us to take excellent care of their pets. We are completely dependable and can provide many great references. We look forward to meeting you and learning about your dog's special needs. About this sitter: I am passionate about making sure all of your pet's needs are met. I understand that your dog may not understand why they are in a new environment and may miss you, so I make every effort to make them feel loved, pampered and comfortable, so they feel like you sent them on their own special vacation. You can rest assured that your dog will be the focus of my attention while you are away, and I will send lots of pictures, so you can enjoy your vacation. Why I love dog sitting: I have rescued and taken care of all breeds of dogs, big and small. Dogs are our children on four legs. Meet my pet I have one 9-year-old pampered pit bull mix, Karma, who get along with other dogs. She is spayed and UTD on all shots, flea and heartworm medications. About our yard We have a huge 2 acre groomed back yard. However, I will keep your dog on a leash at all times unless you give me permission to let them run around the yard freely while being supervised at all times. I have extensive experience administering medications, nail trimming and bathing. I am experienced and comfortable administering oral medication, topical, injections and eye and ear medications.
Reviews
Kim did a fantastic job with my old man (kitty) and all his meds. He has a lot of health concerns and she paid special attention to all his special needs. Thank you so much Kim!
Kim did a great job, my dog loved her. She is very reliable, and even met with us prior for complete instructions.
Kim was absolutely amazing with my two fearful/anxious rescue dogs. She knew exactly how to use her body language to set them at ease and let them slowly get used to her, and she won them over quickly. She learned all their routines and asked great questions about their needs and preferences. Even when my little one showed his fear aggression, she knew exactly how to handle it and never lost her cool. Kim really went above and beyond to treat my dogs with the best care and concern without spoiling them. She also took great care of my home and left everything better than when she arrived. She is incredibly conscientious, knowledgeable, thoughtful, responsible, and kind. There's no one I would trust more to take care of my home and pets.
If you want someone to love your dog as much as you do, Kim is your person. My 2 dogs love her. She is very kind, compassionate and patient. I love my dogs more than my own children (joke), but they are family, not just dogs, so their happiness is very important.

Safety, trust & environment
I will keep your dog on a leash while playing in our back yard, since the entire five acres is not fenced, unless you specifically tell me that it's okay to take them off the leash to play ball. At your home, I will follow whatever protocol you have in place, whether that be leashed walks or unleashed play in your yard.
Home
Information Kim L. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if the dog is current on their shots and whether they are on flea prevention medication. I will not accept any dogs inside my home that are not UTD on their shots and flea prevention medication. I want to assure that all dogs that come into my home will not spread diseases or fleas. I have no preference of breed.
A typical day
I live on Forman Road and the house is set very far back from the roadway. We have plenty of room to walk around our five-acre property. All dog feces are picked up and discarded immediately. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep on the bed you provide or on one of our extra dog beds, and they will be inside the house at all times except for potty breaks and play time outside. Time I'll spend with your dog I will spend 90% of my day with your dog. I do not work outside of the home, and I will only leave your dog if I have to go out to the grocery store or run a short errand.
