Kim was wonderful to work with. She thoughtfully set up a short visit to watch Omi for a few hours before keeping him overnight, just to make sure he was comfortable. She sent regular updates and photos and always responded quickly. She was also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, which I really appreciated. It was clear that Omi was well cared for and that Kim provided a truly caring, attentive environment. Thank you for taking such great care of my little nugget!

Kimberly was great! Roxy loved her time spending days walking, playing and chilling with her. So much so that I almost couldn’t get Roxy to leave and come home with me😄.

I would not recommend booking with Kimberley as her profile has inaccurate information. Kimberley’s profile advertises that she has a smoke free home and “watches one families dog at a time so your dog will be spoiled.” This was not my personal experience. I’ve used a few different sitters before and have never had an experience like this. A few weeks prior, I scheduled a meet and greet with Kimberley. At that time she reassured me she typically takes one dog at a time and if there was going to be other dogs present she would always let me know ahead of time. She stated several times on the day I booked she would only be caring for my dog. On the day of my booking i arrived and she had about 4-5 dogs gated in her dinning room/kitchen area. Kimberley also had her friend there who I had never met who was helping her walks all these dogs. I felt very apprehensive about the quality of care after seeing all the dogs gated in her home. I left my dog with Kimberley for about 5 minutes and returned to pick him up because I felt very uncomfortable and upset after my interaction with her. The whole situation felt very off to me as Kimberley was dishonest and misleading.

Kim did an excellent job with our doggies! She sent daily text updates and pictures. Asked good questions, was very concerned with keeping their routine! They were with her for 11 days and I never worried about them! Highly recommend her!

I have a small yard that is not fenced in but live on a trail and do daily walks. There is plenty of nature for your dog to do their business. I will let your sleep anywhere they comfortable; my bed of theirs. I will send many updates with pictures and daily activities so you be reassured that they are doing great.

A typical day

Depending on what the parents will allow, which is always talked about on our meet/greet. A few of my pups love car rides. Lol so with the owners approval, I take them with me in the car for errands that are only through a drive through.. also, my mom lives in an assisted living facility and the owners love when I take their pups to see my mom.. most of my current pup clients love when I have an additional pup or two so their pup can learn to socialize.. I have had all returning clients, so this allows me to determine which one are able to adjust and be happy..I have many many excellent references..😊🐾
