Kimberly watched our three pets, a dog and 2 cats, for many days while my husband had emergency surgery. She was wonderful. It was such a relief for me not to worry about them while we were out of town. They all loved her and I could tell she loved them. She stayed overnight and took fabulous care of them. She sent pictures and communicated well. She followed all my notes and also cared for my garden and house plants. I highly recommend her!

I lucked out finding Kimberly to pet-sit for my two kitties! I moved to the area in February and had to go to a family memorial out of state in April, and the only family member I had here in town who could have watched my pets also was going to the memorial, so it was time for me to find a good pet sitter! I was so pleased to have found Kimberly's profile and to meet her during our meet-and-greet, and my cats, Tessa and Ando, seemed to really enjoy her visits! The photos I received for each visit showed very happy kitties playing, being petted, and being well taken care of, and I returned home to a clean house and a nice welcome-home note and everything. I was able to enjoy my trip because I knew all was well back at home.

Kimberly took wonderful care of our dogs, including one who is a rescue with some anxiety. Both dogs loved her. She met them before the dates we’d booked, and both were at ease with her immediately. She also made us so happy by sending daily pictures and updates. I cannot speak too highly about her, and will definitely try to book her again in the future.

Kimberly is very punctual and communicates when there could be a possible scheduling conflict. Her flexibility with scheduling is very refreshing. Her professionalism extends to both my pup and myself. She is truly a gem. Miss SadieGirl gives her (4)🐾🐾paws up as well!
