Pet care experience
I grew up in Jamaica with a house and yard full of dogs! They added a dimension of emotional comfort to our home and filled the space with life and fun. This was just the beginning of my journey with pets! They are so unique - and they create a sense of warmth, companionship and love in our lives. They should always be respected and honored. While I dont own a pet right now, I have thoroughly enjoyed dog-sitting for my friends and family. I derive fulfillment from perpetuating the love they receive from their owners while they're in my care. I look forward to creating a space for them to feel embraced, yet free. I am excited to provide that experience for your furry companions during every moment I spend with them - all while appreciating their vibrant beauty and unique personalities.
Reviews
What a fantastic time Willow had with Kim over these past few days. She was well celebrated when she turned two on Tuesday. She was well loved when she was in Kim’s care. Being an escape artist, she was hoping for a little fun on the side… But Kim took such good care of her that she never got away! What a relief to her Momma. Willow and I are giving him five stars and definitely plan to use her again. Thank you, Kim!🐶🌻
Kim is amazing and super patient with our sensitive dog! She is very attentive and communicative and follows instructions exactly. So thankful for her!
Great!
Kimberli took excellent care of Missy, even on a weekday last minute booking! She sent us regular updates and was very responsive to all of our (many) questions. Would definitely book with her again!

I have lots of valuable experience walking dogs and I love to spend time playing fun and exciting games with them. I also enjoy house-sitting in homes with lots of pets! Getting to spend this quality time with pets helps create an atmosphere of comfort and familiarity for them, and I embrace the positive evolution of our dynamic as we get to know each other better! I understand it is hard to be away from your fur babies, so I'm intentional about maintaining active channels of communication complete with pictures, videos and general updates about how they're doing!
Home
Information Kimberli B. would like to know about your pet
I am a lover of all breeds and sizes of dogs, from the giant Saint Barnard to the tiny toy poodle. I also LOVE cats, especially their propensity for physical affection. If your pets have any special needs, please let me know. Let me know about any triggers of anxiety and how they respond to and interact with other animals! I am happy to make appropriate accommodations to keep your fur baby happy and comfortable. I'm also so honored to spend quality time with them and get to know each of the traits and characteristics that make them unique!
A typical day
A typical day will involve ample time for exciting play, as well as time designated for rest and restoration. I love going on long, scenic walks with dogs and allowing them to enthusiastically explore the environment around them. I like to take them to fun and exciting places, often varying the walking trail to give them new and unique experiences. A visit to fun park with expansive space and greenery is always a goal! Just enough terrain to allow high-energy doggies to enjoy the freedom of running around - at whatever speed they wish. This is also conducive to stimulating games of fetch or frisbee, and affords us lots of freedom to play with a variety of toys! After an exhilarating experience outdoors, and some tasty food for refueling, I would wind the day down with warm and cozy snuggles. This may be adorned with some gentle petting, fur-stroking, and back-rubbing for your pet's maximum comfort.

I am a 4th year medical student taking lots of low-demand electives right now. In between residency interviews, my schedule is pretty flexible. I am typically free in the afternoons and evenings on weekdays, and am wide open on the weekends!
