My home is your dog's home!

Pet care experience

Hello! I can't imagine my life without animals in it. My family owned a farm with horses, sheep, bunnies, chickens, etc., but I always had a special thing for dogs. Some of my sidekicks were a Boxer, German Shepherd, German Shorthaired Pointer, Yorkshire Terrier and Shih Tzu. Back in my home country Belgium, I was also a volunteer at the local petshelter, where I did my best to light up the doggies' day with fun walks. I'm also an animal activist. I used to volunteer at the SFSPCA, where I worked with under-socialized animals, who needed a lot of love, patience and one-on-one time. During one of my shifts, I fell in love with Porter, a sweet, bouncy lab-mix, and adopted him immediately :)! Cheers, Kim

Kim was an amazing dog sitter for my husky, Kiba. She's extremely friendly and understanding to dogs of all temperaments, and can handle high energy breeds such as Kiba's. She's extremely responsible in her care for an animal, and I would absolutely allow Kim to watch Kiba again. I highly recommend Kim for any type of dog sitting service.

Dogs, cats and horses have always been a part of our family. We live in Belgium. Two years ago Kim moved to the US to start a postdoc at Stanford. It is the first time in her life that she lives without animals around her and she misses her cats and dog very much. You can be sure that she wil give all her love and care for the dogs that she is responsible for.

I always go to Kim first when I leave town and need someone to look after Frodo. He's a calm beagle-pug mix and can be nervous around strangers, but not once has something gone wrong under Kim's watch. She is responsible and a good communicator. I highly recommend Kim to anyone in need of a dog-sitter!
