Availability

I will work to accommodate walk requests within an hour of desired time. As for daycare & boarding, both my husband and myself work from home so there is typically someone always with our guests aside from an hour or so here & there. We pride ourselves in creating a loving, home away from home environment, where your dog becomes part of the family when they stay with us. We are not high volume boarders, so your dog will receive tlc and become one of our own while they are here. I can accommodate guest pick up and drop off between 8 AM - 9 PM most days. I am available for walks & drop in visits between 9 AM & 8 PM. My schedule typically allows me to visit within an hour window of your requested time.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large spacious house and yard. Our property is secluded on over an acre and a half and we sit on a large, partially fenced back lot. We have gated decks, so plenty of opportunity for fresh air. We have 2 friendly labradoodles and a mini poodle who are love bugs and enjoy hosting doggie guests. In order to offer specialized care & treatment, we only reserve one family at a time, so your pup(s) get all the TLC they deserve when they stay with us. There may however be an occasional slight overlap, but only in the case of repeat guests who I am very familiar with.

Information Kim M. would like to know about your pet

My goal is to work to make your pet comfortable & happy. I love repeat guests. Please share your pet's preferences. We require a meet & greet (consisting of a courtesy hour long trial visit) ahead of your dog's stay as well as for any walks or cat/dog drop-in visits to ensure it is the best possible fit and have the opportunity to address any needs that may arise. All guests must be up to date on their vaccines as well a flea prevention for everyone's safety. Emergency contact and veterinarian information is required upon booking.

A typical day

I am available to fit your dog’s needs. I make it a point at our meet & greet to establish your dog's routines and norms. My goal is to have your dog's stay as enjoyable and stress free as possible.

Reliable - Responsible Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have an extensive background in animal care including 6 years working in an emergency veterinary hospital. Dogs who visit for daycare or boarding get exclusive accommodations. They are treated like family, and I do not book more than one family at a time...two at most if there is slight overlap with familiar to me pets who are screened to be compatible. Both myself & my husband work from home, so your dog won't be left for long stretches of time. I aim to create a home away from home experience where your dog looks forward to their visit.

We love Kim and so do our boys! She’s always on time, sends great updates, and takes wonderful care of our dog and cat. Shes also been available for drop ins several times on shorter notice and we appreciate her flexibility and willingness to help us out. We would recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring Rover for their fur babies :)

Kim was outstanding! She communicated on every visit, she ended each visit with pictures of kitty litter box clean and food bowl filled complete with water. I highly recommend her for any getaway you might have planned. Cannot say enough good about how happy I was with the job she did!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
