Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make it a priority in my daily life. Working from home allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent—whether your pet needs companionship, playtime, or a calm, comforting presence. I dedicate as much time as possible to caring for and bonding with the pets I sit for.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer a safe, loving, and relaxed environment for pets in my care. I live in a cozy, private home located at the back of a quiet property, complete with a securely fenced-in yard where dogs can safely explore and play. My own dog, a gentle and friendly 35-pound doodle, is incredibly calm and welcoming with other dogs. He’s been a wonderful companion while I’ve fostered senior dogs and often sets a great example with his mellow demeanor and friendly energy.

Information Kimberly L. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to have any pertinent info about your pet's specific needs. How often do they typically need potty breaks? Do they tend to do any resource-guarding? Do they like kisses?!

A typical day

I am happy with whatever makes your dog happy! If they are a cuddler, I'm all for it. If not, that's fine too. I love playing fetch with dogs in my fenced-in yard and I love telling dogs how good they are! I’m very active and love taking dogs on walks to a nearby park that has both a large grassy field and a fenced-in dog area for safe off-leash time.

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience fostering dogs and caring for pets. I genuinely enjoy working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages—whether that’s active play, long walks, or relaxed cuddle time. I have a rescued doodle who I trained to become a certified therapy dog, and we volunteer together at schools. He gets along well with all the dogs that come into our home. I also foster with a senior dog rescue, giving me experience with older dogs who need extra patience and care. We live in a small house with a large, fenced-in yard that dogs absolutely love. I’m attentive, gentle, and experienced in administering medication, and I treat every dog with love to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home.

Kim did an excellent job taking care of Stella. She is confident around dogs and bonded quickly with Stella. She sent me pics and also cleaned up after Stella's outings. Will definitely be calling Kim again!

Kim is excellent with my two mini Aussies who can be special at times. She takes great care and really can bond with each of them. I really appreciate the excellent care she gives my pups! Also, I found her at the very last minute and she was kind enough to have my dogs stay within a Couple hours of contacting her. 5 stars!

Kimberly was so sweet with our two pups. My girl is pretty timid usually but she warmed up to her right away! Would highly recommend. Love all the pics and check-ins from her, it was reassuring and was nice to see them happy.
