Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly, gated apartment complex with a courtyard so we have easy and safe access to the outdoors. I live on the first floor and have 2 small steps inside my apartment so if your pup can manage a few stairs, they will be fine at my place. I will only feed what you typically feed to avoid allergies or digestive issues.

Home

Lives in an apartment
Does not have a yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 4-8 hours

Information Kim R. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your dog’s schedule, rules of behavior, preferences, and limits. I will try to maintain their routine as much as possible.

A typical day

Generally, a typical dog care day would consist of 15-20min relief walk around 7/8am before or after their breakfast, 15-20 min relief walk around 1pm, a 30-60+min relief and exercise walk around 5/6 pm before or after dinner, then 10-20 min relief walk before bedtime. My neighborhood has safe and clean sidewalks. We can walk up hills or avoid hills. I’m a 15-20min drive to Griffith Park and the Verdugo Mtns. I also love bringing dogs to walk along the waterfront in Santa Monica. I’m always up for exploring new parks.

Care and safety for your fur-baby!

Pet care experience

Please note: For everyone's safety and well-being, I only accept new bookings after doing a Meet and Greet, which must include a walk. I can only give care to dogs that are leash-trained and potty-trained. Thanks for understanding! My experience with caring for animals is extensive and varied! Over the years, I have been entrusted with dogs, sheep, cats, turtles, and snakes. Mostly, I have taken care of dogs - feeding, walking, bathing, playing, relaxing, and staying safe! I have the most experience with pit bull breeds and brachycephalic breeds such as French Bulldogs that cannot overexert themselves, tolerate heat, etc., but I welcome all breeds!! Please provide detailed info about how to best care for your unique furry/hairy babe. I will keep you informed of how we are doing so you can rest easy that your pup is safe and comfortable. I will always keep your dog on leash when outside - and never tied outside while I go into a restaurant, store, etc. I avoid dog parks but if you’re doggo likes “human parks” then they’ll be very happy with me!

Kim was such a great sitter for my 18 month old rowdy mixed terrier pup! She was kind, punctual, professional, sent me lots of detailed updates and pics. I felt totally relaxed leaving my guy in her care while I had to be away for the weekend. Will book again. Thanks Kim!

Kim is THE BEST! She house sat and took care of our dog Lila (120 lbs) and was beyond what we had hoped for. She sent pictures and updates multiple times every day and our shy girl absolutely loved her. We will absolutely be using her again in the future. Cannot recommend her enough

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.
