Highlights
Pet care experience
Walks, jogs, snuggles & flexibility
I admit it: I'm a cat person at heart! I grew up with Buster & Myopia, then Giggles & Grins and loved them for 15-20 years each <3 Now my "family" includes puppies galore and I wouldn't have it any other way! My 20s and 30s have proved to be too chaotic to have a puppy of my own, but I cannot get enough of family and friends' dogs that I'm lucky enough to play with, care for, and train :)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kim is fantastic. She made our dog Molly feel right at home! When we picked her up from a weekend away, Molly was relaxed and unstressed and happy. We received lots of photos and reports to make us feel confident all was great. We love Kim!
Kimberly did a great job with my pup! She took lots of care to ensure my pup was comfortable and gave her a well needed break.
Kim is fantastic with our beloved dog. We cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of our dog and keeping us up to date with photos and videos. We are happy repeat customers.
Kimberly was very easy to work with, being both very responsive and accommodating of our schedule. We did a meet and greet at her home ahead of confirming our reservation and quickly realized that Kimberly loves having dogs around and is very active and happy to be outdoors in all weather. During our vacation week we received daily updates including photos and videos of our dog both in Kimberly's home and yard, as well as on their regular walks to the nearby beaches etc. despite the heavy snowfall. From the photos we could tell that our dog was totally at ease, living her best life and well taken care of by Kimberly. A very positive experience for us and our dog. We hope to be able to work with Kimberly again for our next vacation
We love Kim! She went above and beyond to make our dog feel loved. Our pup gets anxious easily but was right at home with Kim from the beginning, and Kim did a lot during her stay to make her feel comfortable. She sent lots of updates to us, too, which was wonderful. We will book again with Kim in a heartbeat!
Kim and Matt were great! Consistent updates and very helpful with drop-off/pick-up. Would definitely book with them in the future and recommend them to other dog parents!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'll have plenty of time to walk, run, and play! Similarly, bed and wake-up times are flexible and I can accommodate early risers and night owls.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I see myself as a babysitter, ready to follow/implement the rules and preferences of the parents. I like to practice light-touch training and give animals free reign in my first floor unit of a two family house.
A typical day
I getting some of my/our energy out in the morning, seeing the sunshine, and playing with other dogs (as appropriate). I love trying to teach dogs -- and cats! -- new tricks, practice things we're working on, and give snuggles and scritches on the couch after our 'hard work.' When visiting homes, I like to play with toys readily available to make sure everybody gets a little fun and mental stimulation.
