Pet care experience
I have been around all sorts of domestic pets big and small since I was very young. I have cared for senior dogs and cats, and I have also worked with puppies as young as 4 weeks. I currently have a lovely friendly dog in case you are interested in having a puppy play date.
Reviews
Kimberly has done an excellent job with Honey Bear the past few months. She is kind, considerate, and completely professional. I always received detailed reports and multiple photos. She would bring her dog, Denna, along so Honey could have a friend. We are really sad to lose her.
Kim watched our pup every week for many months and my dog is even a bit better behaved after having her regular visits! She willingly took on our second dog as well in the drop-ins the last two months. She is very responsive and receptive to our pups needs! Anyone's animal would be in great hands with Kim!
We recently added a second dog to our weekly drop ins and Kim's quality of service did not change at all! She gives both of our pups the right amount of attention and even thinks about things we forgot like leaving a toy in their kennel space! Can't go wrong with Kim!
Kim was AMAZING with Sage and is a very observant and professional dog sitter! Any pup would be in good hands with Kim. She offered to do leash training and walk her around the backyard and even noticed Sage had no toys in her kennel and offered to put one in there to keep her occupied. Thanks for your quality work!!

When it comes to walks I always have my little dog utility belt equipped with a treat bag and a roll of doggie waste bags. For extended hikes I bring a portable water bowl, so no one ends up dehydrated. For the hard core retrievers I have a chuck it throw stick and various balls for fetching in case there are any favorite parks you'd like your pup to retrieve in. For house sitting I am very comfortable with multi-pet homes with both dogs and cats.
Information Kimberly P. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any particular breed preferences. I do like to know a pups level of comfort with other dogs, I know some great dog parks for the social butterflies. And I am comfortable helping socialize dogs who are shy. If I am providing weekly walks/care I am usually seeing the pup enough that I can help them learn any tricks, or just teach them the basics of heeling and being well mannered on a leash. I can do walks or jogs with pups so if your dog is higher energy and we can't bring them to a park to let them run then maybe I have chance of keeping up.
A typical day
One of my favorite places to go is Molenar park it has a really nice walk way around a green park and a well fenced in dog park. It's a great place for dogs to socialize and role in the grass. When it comes to a hiking trip I like to go to Seaman's gulch it has a nice variation in terrain but there are a lot of shorter trail options to not overtire any pups. I love helping with training and I find getting dogs to work on tricks can be a great way to work their brain aside from the usual stimulation of a walk.

Availability
Time with dogs is a daily routine for me every morning. Minimally there's walks around the neighborhood, but typically I drop by the local park. There we walk around and end up in the dog park that is attached and spend a good hour playing fetch or having some quality socializing time.
