Welcome friends!!

Pet care experience

After a bit of a break to focus on my family, I am back! I am a stay at home mom to four kids, three of which are in school. We are definitely a dog family! Our dogs are not just our pets, they are members of our family. We currently have three dogs, Harwell (a goldendoodle), Edison (a terrier mix), and Coney (a goldendoodle). We lost our beloved Slugger in October 2015 to bone cancer. He will always be a special part of our family, which is why is profile remains on our page. I am committed to caring for your family member just like you would. I am at home most of the day, so I have a flexible schedule to allow minimal alone time for your pet. I have been an in home sitter for many years. Prior to starting my own family, I frequently stayed at the clients home. I have had at least one (and usually two) dogs my entire life, with a few cats here and there as well. Why I love dog sitting I have never not had a dog. My parents got a dog just before I was born, and aside from a few months when I first moved out on my own, I have always owned a dog. Usually, two (and now three!). :) About my yard We have a little larger than normal, suburban backyard. It is fully fenced with a 6ft privacy fence. There is plenty of room to run and play! My experience administering medication As long as the pet parents are willing to give detailed instructions, we can do it. ******* IMPORTANT INFORMATION ******* Please plan to drop off or pick up your pups between the hours of 9am and 7pm. In order to maintain my kids routine and our family schedule, our pick up and drop off hours will be between 9am and 7pm, seven days per week. If your travel plans require pick up or drop off outside of those hours, please contact me before booking. Thank you for understanding!

Thank you Kim for taking such good care of Bella over the Summer holidays. As always she loves the time she spends with you and your family and will let you know when we go away again. Many thanks!

I don't know where we would be without Kim. She is an amazing sitter. She responds quickly to all of our requests, is flexible with drop off and pick up times, and is a pro at handling our two Great Danes (which is no easy task). I can always feel confident knowing Randy and Juno are well cared for and having a good time when we drop them off!

Information Kim S. would like to know about your pet

I have four young kids (10, 8, 7, and 4) so a dog that is kid friendly is a must! My kids have been around dogs their entire lives, so they know how to treat animals, but they love dogs and sometimes forget that not all dogs like kids.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I walk in my neighborhood daily, and we walk as a family on the weekend. So, yes! Your dog's sleeping arrangement We have an open door policy :) our dogs sleep in our bedroom, and unless there are instructions otherwise, your dog will be free to sleep wherever they want. Time I'll spend with your dog I'm a stay at home mom. I'm almost always home during the day. Our evenings are family time, so we are generally home in the evening as well. On the weekends I know we are going to be busy, I will block off my schedule and not book any dogs.
