Home Away from Home Dog Sitter
Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs for approximately 15 years from the size of a shih tzu up to a lab/retriever from the ages of 8 weeks up to 10 years old. I enjoy teaching dogs basic tricks, taking them on walks/runs, playing fetch/tug of war, and cozying up on the couch.
Reviews
Kim watched my dog over a weekend and she did a great job. She came up with a great idea of taking my dog Cooper to the doggy water park and Cooper ABSOLUTELY loved it. She took many pictures of Cooper playing in the water and with other dogs. It was clear that he had a great time with her. She has watched Cooper since and each time have had a more than pleasant experience working with her dog sitting. I would highly recommend.
Kim has been so great with our dogs! They come home tired every time; they love spending time with her! I would recommend Kim to anyone who is looking for a sitter/walker for their fur baby!
Absolutely loved Kim! My pup Cooper had so much fun while I was away! She took him out on plenty of walks and gave him much love! I always worry about him when I’m gone but having a meet and greet with Kim before eased my mind! I also loved that she gave me updates as much or as little as I needed! Cooper and I will most definitely go back to Kim again! Thank you so much!
Kim is so caring with Kobi! She loves to give him walks and she was so nice to give him a bath. Kobi loves it when Kim plays ball.

I live in a pet friendly apartment complex which has a small fenced in area for dogs to play and is near neighborhoods with many sidewalks to go on walks or short (up to 3 mile) runs if your dog likes going on runs. If your dog enjoys socializing with others, I also live near a community dog park where I can take your companion for a quick car ride before playing with friends!
Information Kim S. would like to know about your pet
Keep me informed on any special diets, anxiety triggers, sociability status, and rules on table food for me to take the best care I can and for your dog to feel safe and loved
A typical day
I like to interact with dogs in their favorite way. Walks, runs, fetch, dog parks, napping, etc. Whatever it is your dog likes to do, let me know and we will make the most of our time together doing what they enjoy!

Availability
Available for boarding, doggy day care, and walks throughout the week and weekend! I work full time, but I am available to care for and be with your pet on the weekends all day/overnight as well as in the evenings and/or over night during the week beginning between 4pm-6pm. My doggy day care rate is set for a weekend price where I would be with your dog all day. If you would like me to care for dog during the week days I would charge less as I am only available for in person care starting between 4pm-6pm.
