I work from home in my at home grooming salon, so your pet will never be alone. Should I need to leave the house for small errands, there is still someone left at home, or the animal will have a safe enclosed room to themselves.

Information Kimberly D. would like to know about your pet

Love hearing your pets preferences so I can Taylor the best experience for them! From treats and toys to laps and pets, I want to know about about them!

A typical day

I love to keep my pups not only exercised physically, but mentally to. Daily walks are a fav, but doggy puzzles to keep your baby stimulated are my specialty!

Pet care experience

My animal experience goes way back to childhood. At the age of 7 I started in 4h, learning about animal husbandry. By the age of 13 I was volunteering at the local riding stables. By high school, I was working at the local animal shelter, volunteering with local rescues and advancing my education in dog training, with hopes of getting into service dogs. At age 19 I started working at a vet clinic This just advanced my love of animals and their care even more! Fast forward to today, and I own my own in home grooming salon ❤️ I have continued to volunteer with the local rescues and shelter every chance I get. 2 years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to become a puppy raiser for a veteran service dog foundation. That was the very best experience i could of asked for! My knowledge of dogs extends into training, grooming and care. I'm knowledgeable with cats and other small animals as well! Coming from a farm and vet background, I have experience with just about every animal including exotics. My personal dogs are all very well socialized with other animals of all kinds. They all have extensive training and are completely safe with others. They know just how to make our new guest feel right at home! All my boarder dogs are treated as family, allowed on beds and furniture and cage free unless otherwise requested. Bath or grooming add ons are always available! All baths/ grooms come complete with a cute Pic! Please feel free to reach out with any questions ❤️

I am so grateful for the amazing care my dog received. His hygiene and overall care were outstanding better than I’ve ever seen before. They kept me updated with messages and beautiful photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Their dedication and love for animals are truly remarkable. Highly recommended!

With last minute notice, Kimberly was able to assist and watch Holly for the week. I do not think I have had a better dog sitter for boarding in the almost 12 years I have had Holly. You can tell Holly was happy to be with Kimberly! Thank you so much for the love and care you provided for Holly and the communication, knowledge, and professionalism with us. You are amazing, Kimberly!

Kim has taken care of my babies for the last eight years. I know when I leave them with her, they’re going to be safe AND happy. They have a large fenced yard for play and exercise. My dogs get groomed while they’re there, too! Kim is very knowledgeable about animal health issues, is a skilled groomer, trainer and animal lover. She will take the best care of your babies so you can rest easy.
