Highlights
Pet care experience
Will jog with your dog! :D
I've owned my dog for several years now. Despite being adopted as an adult, he successfully learned 8 commands within one week thanks to my tutelage. I am an active person who will also run (I KNOW, CRAZY RIGHT?!!!) with your high energy dogs if they need it. This is going to be my part time job with no competing activities besides my daily training. (I'm preparing to run a marathon). I will obviously update as needed. I have an 11 year old, 20 pound dog named Monty. He is up to date on shots and is fine with other dogs. We do most of his grooming at home except during the summer months. My dog is allowed to come and go as he pleases through the backyard. Everyday, I exercise my dog 1-2 hours through walking, jogging, fetch, and rehearsing his tricks. If your dog needs to lose weight, then I'm your gal.

Safety, trust & environment
My dog, Monty receives 2 walks a day. Each one is 30 minutes long. He used to jog with me with me when he was younger, but now we only do it the last 2 minutes of our walk (racing home). He knows 8 commands, and I rehearse those commands with him every day, rewarding him with jerky pieces and verbal praise. We play with his toys for maybe 10 minutes. He fetches, but he never learned to retrieve. We play of tug of war with his toys as well. I give him a bath roughly once every 2 weeks.
Ratings and reviews
Kimberly was great and the dogs and cat enjoyed her care. We would definitely use Kimberly again to care for our fur babies.
I was trying to explain which leash is used for each dog and she ignored me and when she took my dogs out she had no control over my larger dog that is normally pretty good on a leash.
Kimberly is great! Bella has a great time and looks forward to her walks! We enjoy receiving the photos Kimberly shares on the walks!
Bella always looks forward to her walks with Kimberly! And is SO excited when Kimberly comes through the door!
Kimberly was great! Bella enjoyed walk so far!
Dogs looked great when we got home. Kim took fantastic care of our dogs.

Schedule
24-hour cycle House-sitting: I wake up and jog 1-2 hours in your neighborhood. I repeat that activity in the evening. I will jog with your dogs if they need it. If your animals absolutely can’t be left alone for longer than an hour, then I will accommodate you by exercising inside your home. I bring my laptop and charger and might need a Wi-Fi password. I don’t need food, and I refill my water bottle at your home. My service radius is relatively small, so you can trust that I won’t stray too far from your home, even in the event I am unfortunately called away for a personal emergency.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsKimberly can host up to 7 drop-ins per day
- I need to know about your dog's special needs, if any. If your dog has had past aggression issues (with people/dogs/small animals, etc), then I need to be informed immediately. Please provide your own leash, harness, and muzzle (if necessary). ***PLEASE be educated on what is the difference between a "flat/base rate" and a "sum total." I will give a final quote for my services as soon as I am able. I reserve the right to charge extra for the following: short notice, aggressive animals, unhygienic conditions (if overnight stay, I ask for a clean restroom and a clean sleeping area), or anything else about the request that would make things markedly more difficult. I request payment up front, either before or during services rendered. If you want to shop around for the quotes of other sitters and walkers, then that is perfectly fine and I even encourage it. Update: Drop-ins and Housesitting appointments require at least 7-day notification of cancellation. If you still wish to cancel, you will only receive a partial refund.
