WEEKEND GETAWAY ?

Pet care experience

Our home is a great place for your pup to stay when you just want to getaway for the weekend. A place where they look forward to spending time and where you can have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands while you’re away for the weekend. Your pup will be treated as one of the family having full access to our home. There will be plenty of play time and cuddles on the couch. We also have a huge back lot for our pet guest to run and play! We look forward to meeting your pup and providing them a home away from home while you're away. About this sitter: My husband Colus & I both work in creative fields. He's an animator/toy designer and I'm a photographer/graphic designer for a marketing company. We have one puppy son named Montague! whom completes our little family pack. Why I love dog sitting From a young age I had all kinds of animals from bunnies and gerbils to fish and turtles. For years I begged my parents for a dog and then when I turned 7 I got my wish, a black Labrador/Collie mix named Shadow. Then four years later we added Alf, a rescue German Shepard to the mix. When I first moved to San Diego in '99 for my job, I lived in places that didn't allow dogs so I worked for a dog sitter where I did overnights for several years making friends with all sorts of breeds. After traveling for work over several more years, I finally settled back down in San Diego with my husband. At first we lived with friends who had a French Mastiff and then finally in 2010 we brought home our English Bulldog Montague! About my yard We have a large fenced backyard. We have one smaller area that has patio furniture and sun shade for lounging with a puppy pee area. Then there's another larger part of the lot that's all concrete where the dogs & I play fetch and run around. My experience administering medication Yes, in oral form. Any other method I would need visual instruction.

Kimberly and her husband (+pup) were great with our dog. They have a decent sized backyard and were happy to indulge Mylo’s obsession with fetch! She sent us pictures and updates regularly and was very flexible with the pickup time. We will definitely use their services again. Thanks for watching him!

Kimberly did a great job taking care of our dogs! We have one rambunctious pup and one skittish pup, and Kimberly was wonderful with both of them. She sent plenty of pictures & updates so that we never had to worry about anything. Would definitely want Kimberly to watch our pups again in the future!

Kimberly took great care of my dog, Izzy! Izzy was comfortable there, got lots of walks & made a new friend. It was great knowing I could get away knowing my dog was in good hands.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We live in a standard neighborhood with wide streets and sidewalks. However, I prefer to drive up to the Kensington neighborhood for the daily walks. Our bulldog isn't much of a walker so we prefer to take him to parks and Fiesta Island. We'll ask you which you prefer. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your pup is welcome to sleep wherever they desire. Our bed, their own dog bed, on the couch etc. or any place you specify. Time I'll spend with your dog Currently my husband and I have full-time jobs M-F and work long hours but weekends we are both around to play, lounge, and snuggle with your pup.
