I have had dogs all my life. When I got married, we got a Scottish Terrier puppy and named her Bridget. She was our baby and we were lucky to have her for 15 years. It's been awhile since we have had a dog in the house. We miss the sound of paws, and barking, and greetings when home. I have always loved dogs. Since we had her for her entire life, I am good with all stages of a dog's life. When my sister in law passed unexpectedly we took her West Highland White Terrier into our home, no questions asked and we also fostered a rescue Scottie through the Scottish Terrier Club of IL. We had her for about 6 months before she found her forever home. Friends and family have asked me to take care of their pets when they have been on vacation, work and the occasional last minute emergency. I do have some toys, leashes, food bowls and a seat harness for transportation. I will care for your pet as if they were my own.

Kimberly and her family took great care of my two pups for a long weekend! We received daily pictures and updates that made us feel reassured our dogs were taken care of properly. We could tell she treated them like they were her own! One of our dogs takes at daily medication for their skin allergies and Kimberly was very accommodating with making sure she received it every day. Our dogs had lots of play time as we could tell from one of their toys losing a limb over the weekend (not uncommon for our aggressive chewers). We will definitely be using Kimberly’s services in the future since it was a smooth and easy booking!

Kim was great! She is the first person we have ever left our dogs with and she took such good care of them and sent us lots of updates and pictures. They loved it there! We will definitely use her again!

Kimberly is a great host for Macie and Enzo. She sends updates during their stay and they always come home happy and healthy. I just wish she wasn't booked up so often when I need her!

OMG, cannot say enough great things about this experience. I was so nervous leaving my pups but Kimberly was like a second home for them, and loved them as I would. Highly recommend and definitely plan on using again!

Kim took great care of Aubrey and treated her like one of her own while we were out of town for two nights. It was clear that Aubrey felt right at home and enjoyed her stay. We wouldn't hesitate to use Kim again.
