Information Kim S. would like to know about your pet

We love to know all of your pups favorite things as well as some areas that may be less than welcome so we can ensure their stay with us is a successful one. After all this is your pups vacation as well and we want them to live it up and have fun!

A typical day

We play fetch, tug, visit our creek, play hide n seek inside when the weather is less than desirable or run around our hay bails in the summer.

Pet care experience

I LOVE dogs. I have worked with hundreds of dogs. I have trained and house sat for 2.5 decades. My family all feels the same! We are a stay-at-home large family that homeschools. We live in town on several fenced in acres. We are active and very experienced with dogs of all temperaments. We have two friendly dogs, two gentle and curious alpacas, a creek to play in and lots of kids who have worked with all kinds of dogs and love to romp around and play. I'm not sure who has more fun the kids and us or the pups that visit.

Our sitters family is great - our guy would probably tell us he misses them if he could!

Our pup seems happy and healthy after staying with Kim. They have a nice big yard and he seems well taken care of.

Kim is the best with my dog Stella. When I go on vacation, I don’t have to worry about my dog, not getting attention and being taken care of. I highly recommend Kim for anyone to watch their dog.

Kim took very good care of our Stella. I definitely have her watch Stella again.
