Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My open schedule allows me flexibility for drop-ins to check in on your fur babies. I worked for many years as a teacher and spent so much time worrying about my pets at home; do they need a potty break? Are they lonely? Do they have water? I want you to feel comfortable while your pet/s are at home alone, and am happy to help out however; this can include feeding, walking, or just cuddling. I want to be able to give you peace of mind that your pet is being cared for, so you can focus on your job or commitment.

We were so lucky to find a dog walker in Ashland. Kim is only 10 minutes away from our campsite at Ashland RV Campground. It was such a relief finding her. Very easy to work with, walked and played with Dixie for about 45 minutes. We've used her twice & will continue while here for CWS.

Kim was quick to respond to our inquiry and was fantastic! Very communicative with us and attentive to our senior pup. We will be rebooking for sure!

Kim is the absolute best and my dogs just adore her!! Kim is reliable, trustworthy, flexible and has the most calming presence! She is everything you are looking for in a sitter for your pup. She loves our dogs like they are her own and we know we don’t have to worry about them with her, they are getting the best of care!

Kim is an exceptional dog sitter. Despite the occasional challenges posed by my spirited 12-year-old Chihuahua, she consistently demonstrates remarkable patience, skill, and devotion. Her ability to effortlessly connect with both small and large breeds reflects her exceptional expertise and genuine love for animals. If you're seeking a reliable and compassionate dog sitter, Kim R. is an invaluable choice.

I have known Kim for over 20 years and during that time I have owned a couple of different pets. She is my friend who is so excited and always first to visit my new pet! She always showers them with the best toys and treats! Kim is so passionate about animals! I have watched her care for her own pets with much admiration. She gives them so much love and time and is very committed to learning new ideas for training and enrichment. She never says no when someone needs help with their pet! I have a new puppy and would be nervous leaving her with anyone except for with Kim! 😀
