I work full time from home, so my schedule is relatively flexible with some constraints some Saturdays due to volunteer commitments. I take my dog on an hour walk each morning, followed by afternoon play outside and a light evening walk to avoid witching hour.

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is fenced, so pups can enjoy play in a safe, private environment. I have extra crates for indoor use as needed. Also, my neighborhood has several walking trails and is pretty quiet, so it's safe.

Information Kim S. would like to know about your pet

Dogs that are crate trained and know basic commands will work best in my care. I’m happy to take care of any special needs like medication, diet-restrictions, etc.

A typical day

I like to feed pups first thing in the morning to give them time to digest their food before we go on our morning walks, which I do everyday during the work week. I head into my office after our walk (the dogs usually join me) and work until noon. I take that time to let the dogs get fresh air in the backyard and play. Late afternoon means dinner time, then an evening walk before bed.

Pet care experience

I'm a dog lover and dog owner who works from home. I'm obsessed with dog training, belly rubs and sneaking snacks to dogs. My dog is a sweet, friendly mixed breed who loves humans and 4-legged furry friends. I've trained my own dog and have pet-sat a wide variety of animals in the past (pig, birds...you name it).

Kim was amazing! Fish loved her immediately and so did we. She did a great job keeping us updated and was super prompt and communicative. We would love to use Kim's services again!

Our dog was skittish at first but quickly warmed up to Kim and they had several exciting walks around our neighborhood.

Kim is an excellent pet sitter! My cats love to hide and she patiently searched for them and often found them! She took care of them as if they were her own. We will definitely be asking her to care for our kitties again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
