I work from home with little set meetings, and rare instances of having to go into the office for larger meetings, so I will let you know if I happen to have to be in the office for a day with your inquiry. My day is pretty flexible for walks, feedings, and any other care needed during the day.

Information Kimberly D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any special needs or triggers, I’m comfortable working with dogs with leash aggression and difficulties with other dogs and/or people. Having my own living space with a yard helps with that 😊 Any allergies or limitations with water intake.

A typical day

I love to provide a variety of outdoor time for your active pups depending on their comfort level with other dogs and/or people! Walks around the neighborhood, fenced in backyard time, local dog parks. Playing fetch, running around to get them active if needed.

Kim was very patient with our anxious pup. I really appreciate how communicative she was throughout her visits. She gave us peace of mind to enjoy our trip while Pepper was home.

This was my first time using a dog sitter. Kimberly exceeded all my expectations! She checked in and sent pictures of our dog multiple times during his stay. I felt comfortable that our dog was safe and well taken care of. I will definitely be booking again!

Kim stayed in our home with our cat and dog while we were away on vacation. We got frequent pictures and updates and she kept our minds totally at ease the entire time that we were away. When we got back the house was in great shape, the animals were happy, and even my house plants had been watered, she's fantastic!
