Pet care experience
Most Trustworthy & Reliable Sitter
If you hire me as your dog sitter, you'll be able to travel with full peace of mind knowing that your family pet is extremely well cared for and loved on (take a look at my reviews). What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my genuine empathy and patience, particularly with anxious dogs. Having successfully helped my own anxious dog, Bagel, adjust and thrive, I know how important a calm and nurturing environment is. I take my responsibilities seriously and am committed to following all of your instructions to the letter (I myself have a 4-page document ready when I leave Bagel with anybody ;)). You can trust that your pup will receive the same level of care and attention that I provide to my own pet. My background in pet sitting has also allowed me to gain valuable hands-on experience in handling various pet personalities and needs. Fun fact: My sister is a canine behaviorist and I've been lucky to learn positive training techniques and insights directly from her into what's essential for animal welfare.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for your furry family members. I understand that pets have individual needs and unique personalities, and I take a personalized approach to ensure their well-being and happiness in your absence. I am meticulous in following any specific instructions provided by you, whether it's dietary restrictions, medication schedules, or specific routines. Trust is fundamental to my pet care philosophy. As a dog parent myself, I recognize the importance of leaving your beloved pets in capable hands. I am attentive, reliable, and trustworthy. You can have peace of mind knowing that I'll treat your pets as if they were my own, with love and care (and positive reinforcement).
Ratings and reviews
kimberly is the best :) it’s so great to have found someone i can fully trust to take care of my dog and who my dog clearly loves spending time with!
Kimberly stayed in our home with our 4 month old puppy for a long weekend. She is very trust worthy, was so sweet to our pup, and took great care of our home! She also had great communication while we were away - sending many updates & pictures. Highly recommend!!
Kimberly has watched our pets twice and was amazing each time. She stay overnight and when our flight was canceled she was a lifesaver and stayed another night. She is very kind, trustworthy and flexible. We will be using her in the future for sure!
Kimberly was very flexible and made time to come meet our pets before we left on vacation. I'm happy we found someone who is reliable and loves our pets.
I'm so happy we found Kimberly! I have never needed a petsitter before and was unsure how our pets wouldbe with a stranger. Our dogs can be high maintenance- one barks at everyone and has accidents, while the other is just pushy and overly friendly. Kimberly was great with them and made me feel at ease while we were on vacation. Even our finicky cat came out right away to get affection from her. We were delayed getting home and she was able to do a last minute drop in for them so we didn't have to worry about getting home late.
THE BEST!!
