Big or small, I love them all.
Pet care experience
I offer walks as long as dog requires, play time with toys for stimulation, training with treats, light grooming such as bathing and brushing, medication distribution for sick or elder dogs, and lots of love for every dog. I was raised with dogs since I was an infant and have lived in a dog filled community my whole life. I'm responsible, reliable, and have a great deal of flexibility to be able tend to your 4 legged companion. Big or small I walk and care for them all. I'm experienced in pack walking as well as I have been raised with multiple dogs in the household. I will make sure your dog is exercised, happy, clean and comfortable while waiting for their owner.
Reviews
We were on vacation to Santa Monica with our 3 year old German Shepherd, Zeus. Unexpectedly, he developed separation anxiety and couldn’t be left alone in our AirBnB. To say I’m a “helicopter Mom” would be an understatement. Naturally, I was beyond worried about finding a safe spot for him in an unknown town. I am soooo happy we found Kimi. On our very first visit, I felt confident he was in good hands (no easy feat) and we left him on the spot. Zeus had a great week+ with her and her sweet family. He had long interesting walks, played in the backyard and met some new puppy friends. He was always tired and relaxed when we picked him up in the evenings - if you have a GSD, you know how rare this is. Kimi has an inherent understanding of dogs and completely knew what to expect from this breed. I genuinely felt Zeus was as loved as he would have been with us, which is saying a lot. I think he would agree. Highly, highly recommend this sitter.
Kimberly was great! Our two dogs had a wonderful time staying with her and so appreciated the updates and communication leading up to and during their time with her. Would definitely recommend!
Thank you, Kim! Another great walk for our pup! He loves you and it’s easy to see why! You take the best care of him and he has so much fun with you! Thank you!
Kimberly was so amazing! Great energy and enthusiasm! Our dog loved her so much! Kimberly gave a super detailed report of her walk with our dog, along with lots of pictures! Very professional and nice! Will definitely book Kimberly again!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house with a fully fenced in yard that dogs can roam around or get their Zumiez out or just lounge around if they want. I offer crates if need be but typically I have a crate free environment. Animals are allowed on all the furniture beds including and they will be spoiled with treats ( according to their owners approval first ) and as many toys as they could ever imagine. They also will have companionship with my dog Joey whose very excited to meet new friends all the time. Blue my older dog, is blind and doesn't really leave his bed much since he is very old. In anyone else's home I fallow all and any instructions I'm given as well as off limits/rules that may be implemented.

A typical day
I'm always willing to go as far as the dogs willing/able. Love to go to a park if it's near by in the time I have the dog. Dogs will stay on leash at all times though. I am VERY good with handling dogs, have a keen insight and experience in dog behaviors and body language. I always have either a stuffing free toy, a ball, or squeaky toy with me as well for the toy motivated ones. I ALWAYS have water and a bowl for mid walk breaks no matter the length. Especially if it's hot out. But not too hot that their pads could get burned. I always say if it's too hot for your feet, it's too dangerous for theirs. If it's too hot, my shaded yard is the perfect run/roam/bathroom break spot. I have a shaded canopy area lots of vegetation shaded areas, chuck it toys, frisbees, or plain old toys. Again it's a fully enclosed yard on a house property, not apartment.

Availability
I have an extremely flexible schedule. Take pets day and night, and do daycare and boarding. Last minute or scheduled stays are all welcome. Very animal friendly property. I surround my day and life with animals as much I can since animals have been my calling in life. I'm very good with animals. Shockingly good in fact. Whether training or bringing them out of their shell, I magically do it.
