Every animal is a family member.

Pet care experience

As soon as I hear a dog's bark, a dog's panting, or their claws as they walk or run, I immediately drop what I am doing to greet my friend. Eyes wide open like a child's need to play and have fun with a dog. I have dog sat for friends and family since I was a child. Now, I have my own dog and there is nothing more comforting than my co-pilot Chewie. I will give endless love to your dog as if he or she is my own. As the saying goes, "mi casa es su case", implying I am saying that to your fur babies :) I will make sure that they enjoy their time and stay happy throughout their whole stay. I love to train, so if there is anything you would like me to teach your baby, I will. And as I did with my own, I will teach yours with patience. When your family member stays with me, they are always guaranteed a mini photoshoot since I am a professional photographer and will give my time to just photograph the living, breathing bundle of energy :) - you know what I mean! Now, a little bit about myself. I volunteer at Harley's Hope Foundation and our directive is to keep pet parents and their pets together. Pets are placed into foster care while their pet parent is temporarily unavailable. For example, if they just moved here, or are looking for a job, or just currently homeless, a volunteer takes in a pet parent's pet in order to keep them safe for a while under contract. My husband and I foster for Harley's Hope, and we wouldn't have it any other way. We want to ensure that other people's fur babies are well taken care of, while on the plus side, we have another loving being in our home, as well as a playmate for our baby Chewie.

As usual, Yogi does really well with the family. He almost seems depressed, misses the other dogs. Very good care from Kimberly and family.

Information Kimberly S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I would like to know when and how much you would like me to feed them. If there are any special treatments or needs, I can provide them for you. Are they ok with other dogs? What do they like to do, what kind of treats they like, if they are allergic to anything, what I need to look out for when taking them out, or where they like to sleep.

A typical day

I love exploring new places, especially trails. I also enjoy hikes, so my dog, and your dog will have quite a workout with me. I do occasionally love to stay home and when I do, a new friend will always have playtime and treats. I want to make sure that your dog will be comfortable and cozy in my home.
