I work full-time, but my schedule’s pretty flexible. I’ve got time for walks, check-ins, or hanging out with your pup. I’m happy to work around what your dog needs and keep their routine as normal as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m in your home or mine, I always make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I follow any routines you set, keep things clean, and make sure they’re never left alone for too long. I treat every dog like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and respect for their space and personality. I know how important trust is, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel at ease too.

Petting Dogs Is the Job—I Just Walk

Pet care experience

I've always had a natural connection with animals and genuinely love being around dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve been dog sitting since 2015, mostly for my sister’s pup—daily walks, feeding, brushing, baths, the whole routine. I’ve also cared for my friends’ dogs and always seem to become instant buddies with every dog I meet. For shy or anxious pups, I’m patient and let them warm up at their own pace. I adjust to whatever each dog needs—some like playtime, some just want quiet company. I truly love dogs, and honestly, my lifelong mission is to pet every dog in the world and make them happy—because they deserve it.

We had a last minute need due to our work schedules and Kimberly was able to accommodate our same day request and take great care of our boys. Highly recommended!

Kimberly is an amazing dog sitter and house sitter!! She is great with communication and providing multiple daily updates to make us feel comfortable knowing our dogs are being taken great care of. She has watched our pups a couple times now and we’ve been very happy with her services! She also takes great care of the home too!

Kimberly was such an amazing dog and house sitter. Since we were planning a big trip we wanted to interview a few options to take care of our 2 boys while we were away. Kimberly was so professional and responsive from the first message, throughout the stay and wrapping up with the boys. She asked great questions prior to the stay to ensure we could be confident our boys were in great hands. Highly recommend and plan to have her take care of the boys again in the future.

If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, Kimberly is the perfect person! She’s responsible, kind, and genuinely cares about making sure your dog is happy, safe, and loved. What sets her apart is how she truly tunes in to each dog’s needs. She’ll remember your dog’s quirks, favorite walking routes, and all the little things that make a big difference. I’ve seen firsthand how incredibly caring and patient she is with dogs, and I know your pup will fall in love with her right away. Your dog will be in the best hands with Kimberly!
