Former Dog Trainer Turned Sitter
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a former dog trainer who enjoys dogs of all sizes, but am especially fond of the mid-larger breeds. I spent 3 years working at a luxury pet boarding facility in Nashville, TN and have my Level 1 Pet Care Technician Certification. I have a dog-friendly work environment, so if your pup requires some more attention, they are welcome to come to work with me and hang with our other office dogs (3 of them). Though I don't currently have a dog, I had a Rhodesian Ridgeback for many years who I miss a ton, but I would love to spend time with yours! I quickly integrate dogs into my schedule and make sure they're comfortable and safe while accommodating any special quirks they may have.
Reviews
Our dog Ripley had such a great time with Kimberly, I think she was a little sad to come home! Kimberly is really great at organizing fun and stimulating activities for Ripley and gives her so much care while we are traveling. Also, she is very consistent about giving daily updates, including lots of photos and videos. We are so grateful and appreciative to have such a trusted sitter.
Kimberly is the absolute best! My dog loves her ❤️
Kimberly was an amazing sitter for our corgi, Leela. She was knowledgable about and, importantly, patient with corgi behavior. She provided frequent updates (as requested), which was great. We would absolutely have Kimberly watch Leela again.
Always great to leave our dog in Kimberly's capable hands. We got daily updates, which made being on vacation very relaxing. Also, our dog was a little sick while we were away, and Kimberly did a great job keeping us posted, and in fact helped our dog feel a lot better. We are so grateful for her care and genuine dog enthusiasm.

Information Kimberly S. would like to know about your pet
Here are few things I'd like to know about your pup: - Are they dog-friendly? - How do they do in public spaces? (Dog-bars, parks, etc.) - Do they have any health issues currently or recurring that I should be aware of? - Are they on any medications? - What are their likes / dislikes re: toys, food, activities? - Do you crate them (at night or when leaving the house)? - Are they house-trained? (No Breed Preferences)
A typical day
I'm up for whatever your dog needs! Whether that's being a couch potato with a lot of attention or gearing up to go for a hike, I'm a generally active person with room for both in my life. I'd love to keep your dog to their normal routine as much as possible to make sure they're as comfortable and happy as possible.
