Your Fur Family, My Fur Friends!
Pet care experience
Me: I'm the person who will stop talking mid sentence to gush over a dog or cat that is walking by outside. I've pet sat off and on for over 7 years, and I truly love helping folks ensure that their furry family members are safe, happy, and fulfilled. I also foster with the humane society and have some first aid experience with some critical care fosters I have done. I own a cat named Moose who walks on a leash, plays fetch, likes to scream at me from the other room, and just generally enjoys getting up to no good. I'm equally happy helping out with cats or dogs and have experience with pets that require a little more patience for one reason or another. Play dates: On one of the aforementioned play dates with my friend and her dog, my friend mentioned that she couldn't tell who she'd brought to the park to tire out, me or her puppy. Playing tag and rough housing with pups is really the only time you will see me running haha. Honestly, you'd be doing me a solid booking one of these. Walks: See above. I just enjoy hanging with animals of all shapes and sizes, though I have a particularly soft spot for big dogs. Walks alone are meh. Walks with a furry companion (rain or shine) are an adventure! Sitting: I know how hard it is to pull your fur babies out of the day to day routine and put them in strange surroundings. Having sat for and owned a handful of highly strung animals over the years, I've had firsthand experience of how boarding simply isn't a good option for some folks. I've also had firsthand experience of having to trust that, in my absence, my pet sitter will take care of my animal AND my home the way that I would. It's a leap of faith, and I won't let you or your pet down.
Reviews
This is the second time we've used Kimberly and she's fantastic. She gives updates and truly loves taking care of our dog.
We loved having Kimberly take care of our puppies. She gave us multiple updates and pictures. She was awesome. We will definitely use her again when needed.
Kim is the best housesitter ever! This is the second time we’ve used her, and it won’t be the last. When we come back we can hardly tell she’s been there. She even washes her sheets! I don’t have any negative things to say about her! She’s highly recommend it!!!
Kim was absolutely amazing. When we got home, we couldn’t even tell she was here: no dirty dishes, no messes. Our animals seemed to enjoy their time with her. Will for sure be booking her again when we need a house and animal sitter!

We have quite a few animals at home, so I am not offering boarding at this time. We foster for the humane society, so we tend to be full up!

Information Kimberly L. would like to know about your pet
I get an extra kick out of big dogs (and cats), but I enjoy spending time with pretty much all breeds. I love to hear about whether your pet tends to be gregarious or shy on first meetings, so that I can alter my approach to fit their needs. Of course, i always take my cues from them in the moment, but some info in advance is never a bad thing. Knowing their favorite/least favorite treats, parks, activities, and places to scratch also makes it easier for me to give them the best experience possible from the get go.
A typical day
- I usually ask for recommendations on where your pet is most comfortable or most engaged. Sometimes I'll ask if there are spots they love that are hard for you to get to regularly as a special treat. Off leash parks are totally on the table once we've had a few visits/walks to get to know each other in a more one on one setting. -I enjoy hikes, and my car is pet friendly. If you have a nature trail lover, I'm happy to scratch that itch for them. -Some common activities: fetch, tug of war, tag, water guns/sprinklers/hoses for the water babies, brushing, bathing, hide and treat, practicing commands you've been working on, cuddles
