Loving Pet Care in Your Home 🐶

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been the best part of my life since a very small age. Throughout life I have had the pleasure of owning and caring for many dogs. After college I worked as a vet assistant while in graduate school. Throughout my life I have volunteered in various shelters walking and socializing dogs. I strongly believe that all dogs deserve the best life you can give them which is all your love, lot's of exercise and play, companionship, safety and adventures. I run a small daycare at my home where I have a fenced in yard but I also will take dogs on long walks, to the many nature preserves (owner permitted), belly rubs, & lot's of mental stimulation through play. One of the most important aspect to my dog care is safety. I am certified in both animal CPR and First Aid. So bring your best friend and come see my home and meet my sweet dog Cooper.

I am so lucky to have found Kim and her sweet dog Cooper to watch Chloe. She is extremely trustworthy, kind, attentive and loving. Chloe possibly had a better vacation than me as she was treated like a princess. She was spoiled with homemade chicken, kisses and even a new dress. I highly recommend Kim and Cooper to watch your pup!

What a comfy home for your loved one. Doggie beds, a large fenced in yard and a friendly dog to play with. Most important was Kim's attention to detail and the attention she gave our dog. When picking her up I can tell all that because my usually shy dog looked quite comfortable there. When the need arises we will be using Kim again.

Kimberly has taken care of our dogs several times over the past years--for extended periods, while we were on vacation, as well as stopping in to walk our dog when we were away for the day. She is a caring and responsible dog sitter, who takes the time and effort to make our dog comfortable and give her lots of attention and exercise ... and she always leaves things nice and tidy. I recommend Kimberly whole-heartedly.

Kim has dog sat for our family for several years now. We have two dogs Sasha and Madden 7 and 5. All our family vacations, getaways, and short notice Kim has been there for them every time. Our dogs adore her maybe more then us. Well maybe equally. She is cheerful, energetic and always enthusiastic about getting our dogs out for exercise and fun. She is extremely careful with their food and not overindulging them (which can be a hard task). She is always on time and very reliable. One thing that is especially nice when we are gone for a week or more she keeps us updated with fun photo's and short messages. We love that and she takes the best photo's!! So anyone looking for a genuine dog lover look no further. You can't get anyone better then Kim. Ben , myself, our three kids and two dogs all love Kim!!

Safety, trust & environment

I do live in a pet friendly apartment. There are many dogs here to play with. While caring for any dog safety always comes first. If your dog is able I will take them on 3 walks a day plus I am home so its in and out all the time. Your fur babies are free to roam and sleep with me on my bed or cuddle on the couch.

Information Kimberly S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know all the little things the dog likes and dislikes to make their stay comfortable and fun. Full written out instructions of their diet/times they eat and go to bed at night. This is so they keep their regular routine.

A typical day

I usually do three long walks a day with my dog and any dog I am sitting for. If owner persmits in the nice weather I will go to the park or on trails with your dog/dogs. The dogs I sit for are always on a leash. Safety is important with me. I have a large fence in yard as well and a large bright sun porch for all the dogs to run around freely. Lot's of ball, frisbee and toys!!!
