We Just moved to Richmond from Florida. I was born here but left in 1981 for Florida. Met my husband and we had a daughter, Amanda Stepp Marcum. A lot of people in the area know her, she's a realtor. She moved here after graduating from the University of Florida to live with her grandmother, Connie Lawson, a lot of people know her too! After living in Florida for 45 years, my husband and I sold our house and bought an RV. We traveled the USA for 2 years and then decided to settle down where our daughter and my mom live. We found this perfect house on Kirksville Road, and we are only 4 miles from the Chenault Winery! We had a fence put in the back so we can safely let your dog's run but just know, we never let a dog out unless one or both of us are with them outside at ALL TIMES! We did Rover in Florida for 7 years before selling our house and made so many good friends and met so many wonderful dogs! We are really looking forward to meeting new friends and dogs in this area! We feel that a meet and greet for the first time is essential. We want you to see our environment and we want to make sure your pet, or pets are comfortable with us too. I hope you will give us a try, we'd love to meet you and your fur baby!

Kimberly and Steve watched our dogs Tinkerbell and Maple for a day while we were at Universal. They took such good care of our girls, sent us regular updates and tired both of them out with run time in their fenced-in yard. On top of being dog lovers, they are also just genuinely friendly and pleasant people and made us feel immediately comfortable leaving our dogs in their care.

Safety, trust & environment

We have just had a new fence installed in our back yard. We never leave a dog outside by itself. We are always in the yard with them.

A typical day

We will throw a ball or play tug of war with your dog or dogs until they tire out. We always had Australian Shepherds so we are very used to high energy puppy dogs!

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Kimberly can host up to 3 pets per night
We will start sending pics of your dog within the first hour and then send them periodically throughout the day. You know they do such cute things when their parents aren't around!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
