Pet care experience
I provide pet sitting in your own home as well as dog walking. I love animals of all kinds and have lived my entire life with numerous pets. I have extensive knowledge about animals, specifically in relation to dogs based on experience. I have grown up with horses and have the knowledge and experience required for proper horse-care (including goats and chickens). I also have experience administering daily insulin shots to diabetic cats and dogs. I am a full-time teacher so please consider the fact that I will be unavailable between 8am-4pm. The more advance notice you give me, the more likely I’ll be able to accommodate you. In terms of rates, I don't charge based on the number of dogs. I charge 20-25$ flat-rate drop-in visits. And $65 flat-rate over-night visits (I leave by 12pm the following day, if you require me to stay past 12pm on your return date, please note there will be an additional $20 charge)
Reviews
Kim pet sat for us and was absolutely wonderful. My house was clean and neat as I left it and our dog was happy. She would send me updates and was very responsible. Highly recommend her.
We hired Kim for the first time this past weekend and were extremely impressed with her care with our 2 dogs. She stayed at our house for 3 nights and 4 days. She was caring and compassionate and punctual. She did everything on our list and took them on long walks twice a day. I highly recommend Kim and would be happy to speak or email more about her to anyone interested in using her.
Kimberly is very reliable and took great care of our dog with special needs. She texted regulary with updates and sent us great photos which was reassuring. We can't thank her enough!
Kim was punctual, diligent, thorough, hard working, asked questions and spent lots of time with our animals making sure they were cared for, clean and content. She was exceptional!!! She went above and beyond what was asked! We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation because of her!!! She also sent the cutest pictures of our animals being happy and loved on. She is one in a million and we highly highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again.

Safety, trust & environment
Unfortunately, I cannot offer boarding at my home. I am open to taking dogs for walks or to nearby parks and using my own car for transportation.
Information Kim S. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences and yes, I definitely love pitbulls!! Big dogs, little dogs, old dogs, puppies -I have experience with them all. I request that all the necessary care information be written down as I have many clients and it is easier for me to stay organized this way.
A typical day
I enjoy taking walks and playing with your pups. I’m definitely a fan of dog kisses and snuggles and have no problem (I actually prefer) sharing my bed with pets!
