Availability

Pet care is my full-time focus, so my schedule is very flexible and built around what your pets needs. I’m available Monday through Friday, morning through evening, for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I can easily handle multiple visits per day, early-morning potty breaks, midday walks, dinner drop-ins, or staying over if you’re away. Weekends are a little more limited because I reserve them for overnight clients, drop-in's and occasional longer bookings, but I’m always happy to work with you if a weekend need pops up.

Information KIMBERLY G. would like to know about your pet

Behavior & Personality Favorite toys, games, and activities Things they’re scared of (thunder, vacuum, men with hats, etc.) How they do with strangers, kids, other dogs, cats Any resource guarding, leash reactivity, or escape-artist tendencies Commands they know and which ones you’re currently working on House Rules & Access Allowed on furniture? Counter-surfing policy? Where they’re allowed/not allowed in the house

A typical day

Fun Activities I Love Doing with Dogs (These are built into every walk, drop-in, or overnight—never just a quick potty break!) Sniffari Walks – I let them choose the route and sniff to their heart’s content (the dog version of scrolling on their phone) Flirt Pole Sessions – Best cardio ever for high-energy dogs; they go nuts chasing it and it tires them out fast Treat Hunts – I hide kibble or treats around the yard/house for nose work (mental workout = one very sleepy pup) And lots of love!

Kimberly was amazing! She took great care of my dog and sent lots of photo updates. Bruno (my dog) has a bit of separation anxiety but she was able to redirect it well by taking him on a long walk and outdoor time, his favorite things to do!

Kim is committed to providing the best experience possible for my dog and myself alike. She communicated with me throughout her drop-in visit, sending pictures and updates. I can tell my dog Wynnie feels very comfortable with her and I couldn’t imagine a better experience with a sitter.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
