Friendly dog loving home!

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 10 and 12. We have a large back yard for your dog to play in which includes a cable dog run. 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 love boarding our pup with Kim! Our pebbles gets so much love from her kiddos, which she enjoys. She also gets to do her favorite thing which is to go on walks and play! Kim is so great about sending daily reports with photos and we really appreciate that. We can tell she truly cares for making sure our dog has a great time!

Safety, trust & environment

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.
