I am home all day, as this is my primary income. My husband works during the day. I can give your pups the attention they need, or space if necessary. I have a large yard and can take them out as often as needed.

Information Kimberly J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special interests, likes, or dislikes. If they have a certain routine I will try and match that as best as possible. It's very helpful for me that you fill out their needs on Rover so I have something to go by!

A typical day

I have a large fenced wooded yard with lots of grass and room to play and run! Lots of toys, and during summer a kiddie pool/sprinkler. I am happy to walk your pups on a leash if that makes you more comfortable, but our yard is also newly fenced!

Kim's Sit & Stay Inn

Pet care experience

Kim's Sit & Stay Inn No, that's not really the name...but it may as well be! FEES ARE NEGOTIABLE! PLEASE ASK IF YOU NEED!! I am happy to work with you because I would want the same for my dogs. Hey there! I'm a MASSIVE animal lover that graduated from the Zoo program at Santa Fe College, and I am currently working full time on Rover. I'm here for your last minute needs! Big pups, small pups, I love them all. My husband and daughter are very involved as well so your fur baby basically gains an extended family when they stay with us. <3 <3 <3 I have a big back yard, comfy couch, and a 17 year old teen who also loves animals- so your pup will never be lonely. I am available 24/7 via text message, and other apps. (Limited cell service though so calling is limited. ) I have 4 indoor cats as well, but they have their own space (bedroom) and prefer to hide out there if there are any 4 legged visitors. I live on 1 acre in Alachua, Florida and about half of that is fenced, so we have a fully fenced back yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I'm also close to the I-75 interstate. I take my job very seriously and understand how stressful it can be to have to leave your pets with a stranger. I always recommend a meet and greet first before booking with me, but sometimes things are last minute and that's okay too. Hope to hear from you soon, have a nice day! 👍🏻

We have a variety of animals and Kimberly is wonderful with them all! Our doberman goes on sleepovers to Kim's house when we are gone because she is a big baby and doesnt like the dark. Our dobie loves it there! Kim will also send pictures of our animals assuring us they are all there ( we have an escape artist).

Kimberly is consistent, adaptable to time changes and persons delivering the dogs. She responds very quickly! She’s very reliable. I have booked with her repeatedly. Her family is great too.

Kimberly is awesome! She had our for kids for 8 days and they always looked perfectly happy in the many, many pictures she sent us, which allowed us to relax and have a worry-free trip :).

Kimberly is good with dogs. She provided daily pictures of my pet. She was nice enough to accept Tsuki for boarding instead of Dog Day Care bec I mistakenly booked it. She was flexible and easy to communicate, quick to respond.

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.
