Loving care when your pets need it!

Pet care experience

I've grown up with dogs and can't imagine a life without any pets! I have experience dog training using positive reinforcement and Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT) methods and would love to help your pup refine their skills while we hang out. I have experience handling racing/mushing dogs and love caring for pups of all sizes-small to large.

Kim was phenomenal! She sent frequent pictures and videos and treated my dogs as her own, even taking them on pre-approved excursions. Kim was thorough in her drop off checklist of do’s/don’ts/emergency info and I really appreciated the peace of mind. She was flexible when my plans changed and communicated at every step.

The best!!! I can’t say how much I appreciate Kimberly. She took the most amazing care of my dog while I was out of town… took him on walks, to dog parks, out and about. I know he had a great time hanging out with them and their pups

Kimberly is so good with dogs and I always felt at ease knowing my dog was in good hands. My dog came home super happy. She is experienced with all kinds of dogs and handled my German Shepherd 5 month old puppy like a champ. They are big dog lovers and she was great with my dog. She was also available at last minute and quick to respond.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and 3 pups of my own to keep your fur baby company. My dogs are crated while I am away from the house, so I am happy to crate yours if that is their routine. I ensure all pets that I care for trust me and are engaged in age-appropriate activities. IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT HOUSESITTING: My Housesitting rates do vary depending on the needs of your pet(s). Both types of sitting include me at your home for breakfast and dinner; morning, afternoon, and evening potty breaks (usually 3 breaks per day but more if needed); and quality time either playing, snuggling, or going on an adventure each day. The main difference between the two is if I need to sleep at your home or not. ~$75/night = Regular Sitting (I do NOT sleep at your home) ~$100/night = Live-In Sitter (I temporarily "move in" to your home and sleep there every night of your booking)

Information Kimberly S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Even knowing the littlest quirk can help me out with making your pup feel comfortable. I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood so there is plenty of areas to go on walks. If your pup is comfortable going for a ride, I also love taking them out and about to my favorite breweries and such, which stimulates them not only physically but also mentally with all the new smells.
