Availability
I am self-employed and WFH so I'm there all the time for services in your home. My (real) work schedule is determined by me, so I'm available for walks and drop-ins as needed.

About Kim W.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Doggos will be on a leash while outside or on walks with me. I live in the forest so there are lots of critters that dogs like to chase (deer, rabbits, turkeys, squirrels, etc.) and I never want to have to call an owner to tell them I've lost their dog.
Information Kim W. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what your dog responds to and what commands they are used to hearing. Do they know 'COME' vs. 'HERE' or 'TREAT' vs 'COOKIE'. What things are they used to hearing you say? What scares them? What do they NOT like? What do they love to do and which is their favorite toy? Are they possessive of certain toys or food? What is their experience with other dogs and new people? Any medical conditions? Food allergies? Where do they usually sleep? Do they like to swim? Will they chase squirrels and rabbits? I want to get to know your pets! Tell me everything you can think of and be honest about any behavioral problems you may have, or what things your pets may be reactive to.
A typical day
I love to play fetch with dogs that enjoy it, take long walks and let the doggo set the pace. I always allow stops and pauses to sniff the world as that can be just as stimulating as the actual walking. I've also been able to take dogs on walks on forest trails if they need to walk where there won't be other people or dogs.

Pet care experience
I have a long-time love of animals and tons of experience with my own furry children and helping friends and family with theirs. I understand the enormous responsibility and trust you are placing with me when placing your pets in my care. I am available for overnight and daily care in your home,so that your pets stay where they are most comfortable. I am currently limiting services at my home because of a newly rescued furry family member. I can also provide drop-in visits and walks. Let me know what you and your pets need! PLEASE NOTE: My only active services right now are provided at YOUR home, campground, or hotel. I am not accepting visiting doggos at my home right now. I have a new rescue dog of my own, and am limiting furry visitors.
Reviews
Kim was absolutely amazing. She was flexible, super responsive and most importantly treated our puppy like family! He had so much fun! She sent gorgeous pics during his stay so we got to see how happy he was. It was so helpful during our vacation to the Black Hills! We couldn't have been happier! Thank you, Kim!!
Thank you Kim for watching our furry baby and giving us an adult day to go hiking. We got great updates and Bo got a day of much needed rest ❤️
Kim was excellent! Our girls immediately made friends with her. Certainly put us at ease by sending us pictures and info about their walks. This was our first time using Rover and we will certainly use Kim again when we are back in the area.
Repeat visit for our dog. Settled right in, was anxious to greet Kim's dog. Kim had done a great job of introducing Zoey to her cats, so there were no issues there. It is obvious that Zoey is well-cared for, comfortable and happy with Kim.
