Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, your dog will enjoy the company of my friendly, small Maltese female dog. I have dog toys and ample house space for play, as well as a fenced-in yard for safe, off-leash running and exercise. After walks, I rinse your dog's paws and pamper them with a touch of pure, natural lanolin for comfort. Your pet will be well-cared for and enjoy a loving, safe environment.

Pet care experience

With 16 years of experience caring for my own dogs, I have successfully trained them and taught them a variety of commands such as stay, come, and roll over. I even taught my dog to open and close a cabinet to access their treat. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs, creating strong bonds, and ensuring their well-being. Since I have a shy, timid ten pound Maltese, I only watch dogs that are 25 pounds or less.

Kimberly is one of the best dog sitters that has taken care of our precious little Brandy. Kimberly works hard to keep you in the loop when taking care of your dog and we feel comfortable that Kimberly provides a safe and loving environment

Kimberly took great care of Peanut while we’re away. I’ll definitely drop Peanut off again.

Kimberly was super wonderful! We had to book last second after someone had canceled on us. She was able to come meet our boy. She kept us up to date on how he was doing and went above and beyond with taking care of him. Will definitely be using her as a sitter for our boy again!
