I’m a stay-at-home parent, and my husband also works from home, so your dog will rarely be left alone. There’s almost always someone here to provide attention, supervision, and companionship. Our schedule is flexible, and we’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine for feeding, walks, and any special care needs.

We Miss Our Dog… Let Us Love Yours

Pet care experience

I’m Kim, a lifelong dog lover who has never known a home without a dog—until recently, when we said goodbye to our sweet girl, June, at nearly 12 years of age. Our home feels quieter these days, and we have plenty of love and attention to give to other dogs. Caring for dogs is something I've done my entire life. I have experience with training, daily routines, and working with dogs with a variety of temperaments. I’m also very comfortable caring for senior dogs and those who need medication, extra patience, or a gentler pace. I volunteered as a dog handler with the Oregon Humane Society, where I completed their training and education program. That experience gave me a strong understanding of dog behavior, safety, and how to make dogs feel secure and supported in new environments. Our home is loving and family-oriented. My kids are gentle, respectful, and have grown up around dogs—they understand how to give them space, affection, and kindness. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just curling up somewhere cozy, we’ll make sure they feel safe and right at home.

Amazing experience! Kimberly and her family were so loving to our dog Tucker. She took him on daily hikes and sent great photos! Her kids even read books to our pup. If you’re looking for someone to dog sit, Kimberly is one of the best! I highly recommend her.

Kim and her family took such amazing care of Parker while we were away for a couple of days. From the moment he arrived, they treated him like one of their own. He was included in family activities, enjoyed lots of walks, attended the kids' soccer games, and was showered with attention, treats, and plenty of belly rubs. It was clear from the photos and updates Kim sent that Parker was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Knowing he was being so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We are incredibly grateful for the love and kindness shown to Parker and would highly recommend Kim and her family to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming home for their furry family member. Parker can't wait for his next visit!

Kimberly took really good care of my mocha for the day! I really appreciate that she agreed to watch Mocha even though it was a last minute booking. Communication was easy, drop off and pick up was too. She was very understanding of Mocha's challenges. Overall I highly recommend!
