I am available to stay in your home and take care of your pets as if they were my own. They are even welcome to cuddle in bed if that’s what they are used to.

Information kimberly s. would like to know about your pet

Of course, it’s absolutely necessary to find out if your dog or cat has any medical conditions. My dachshund was diabetic, so I know how to give insulin shots.

A typical day

When the weather is permitting I would love to take your dogs on walks and hikes! I also frequent dog parks. In the hotter season, I have a pool and if they like, they can get in.

Our cats loved Kimberly and she was terrific with them. She is very reliable and made sure to send photos every day, which was very reassuring for us. We would definitely use her again!

Kimberly was great all the way around—a natural with cats of all temperaments, reliable, great communication, and efficient. She even noticed that some of my plants were looking sad and watered them! Highly recommend.

Kimberly is experienced, professional, respectful, genuine and friendly. Even though this is the first time she has been with us, it's as though we have known her for years. We felt 100% comfortable the minute we met her. She became like part of the family. We were able to go away without worrying at all. She kept us updated on their care more than once per day. Thank you, Kimberly, from the bottom of our hearts. We will use her every time we need dog-sitting. Nick and Bryan

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.
