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.

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.

This was our first time using Kim to watch our dog and we will definitely use again! She is a quick communicator and let me know how my dog was doing. She was so sweet and didn't seem bothered by my drama dog who is afraid of rain during a week it rained a lot! I highly recommend Kim!

My girls had a great time at Kim’s house. Such a great dog friendly home. From the pictures and video she sent us it made easier for us to enjoy our trip knowing they were in such good hands. She treats them like her own… one of the family.

We are so happy that we found Kimberly. She is wonderful. We feel less stress leaving our dog with Kimberly because we know that she is showering her with love. Thanks Kim.
