I have a fenced in yard, however I don't trust it for most dogs. I've seen some dogs jump pretty high. I will use a leash to walk them throughout the day unless told otherwise. Your dogs will have free range of my home, and if you prefer crate training, I can accommodate that as well.

Information Kim R. would like to know about your pet

Any doggies coming into my home must be good with children. We do not have a preference on breed of dog, all dogs are unique, quirky and fun to get to know. I would like to know that your dog is up-to-date on all vaccinations as well as flea prevention. A copy of your dogs vaccination records is greatly appreciated.

A typical day

We will go for walks to Arrowhead park, or walk around the nearby lake for exercise. We will play in our backyard. At the end of the day, your dog is welcome to snuggle up on our couches while we all wind down. Your doggie will get the royal treatment with pets and rubs from our family.

Pet care experience

My husband Chris and I have grown up taking care of dogs from Chihuahuas to St. Bernard's. My family enjoy spending time with all dogs. We will make sure they are very happy as well as their basic needs taken care of. We are very good at following any specific needs the dog may require. While your four legged family member is in our care, we will keep you updated on how they are doing, what we have been up to and also will send you pictures to keep your mind at ease. We have a loving home which includes myself, my husband, and two children age 13 and 15. We have a large back yard for your dog to play in which. I also have a park in walking distance just 6 houses away that we will walk your dog to for exercise. I keep a very clean home for your animals to play in safely. With my children around, your dog will get so much pets and attention while staying with us. Staying with our family, your dog will be loved from the moment they arrive till you're ready to pick them up. We do not have a pet of our own, and I only care for pets from one home at a time. I do not mix dogs who do not know each other. While in my care, you will not have to worry about your dog fighting for attention or having to get along with other animals.

We felt that our dog was 100% safe and taken care of with Kim and her family! Reggie usually gets nervous staying away from home, but Kim welcomed him and helped him feel way less stressed! We are so happy our boy was in good hands while we got married! It was one big thing we did not have to worry about.

Kim and her lovely family are Bella’s favorite people to be with when we need someone extremely special to care for our “baby”. Recently Bella stayed with them just for a fun weekend for Bella! Kim and her family are our “go to” care givers for Bella.

Sammy was very well taken care of, and we will definitely ask Kim to watch him again! She sent pictures and was very communicative.

This was our first opportunity to book Demetri with Kim. The experience was perfect! Demetri loved being in her home with her family. He received great care and attention. The photos Kim shared proved how happy he was. We will book Kim again and again! I strongly recommend Kim. She's a pro!!
