Animals are our best friends & they deserve care & empathy. I love the outdoors hiking and running so I keep the dogs active and healthy. I am also a tutor so being Remote gives me time for doggies:)

Information Kimberly S. would like to know about your pet

Please only trained and well behaved dogs allowed. I have toddlers I tutor and a bunny in the house in a cage. Read before you request booking:- please provide all recent vaccination records, if they are chipped, if they’re neutered/spayed. proof that pet is clean (no fleas or ticks) any aggresive issues or loud/barking will not work in my home. If you have any special needs please let me know so I can try to accommodate! Please do a flea/tick check before request ( I have had bad experiences where I had to disinfect and spend hundreds on cleaning after a dog had a really bad flea infection and the customer nor rover took any responsibility.)

A typical day

Indoor/outdoor dogs welcome, During dog walks I try & jog with them to keep them in shape and happier (as long as their healthy/young enough). I have a nice fenced dog park where they can run around freely. Dogs love the scenery, I always make sure they're happy & tired when we come inside. I start my day at 5/6am so whenever they’re ready. Just let me know what’s their usual :)

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs since a very young age. From puppies to elderly. It’s a quiet neighborhood with a fenced separate level in the home only for one dog. We keep em separate from the cats

Kimberly was responsive and was flexible when we wanted to modify our pickup time. Jasper came home happy. One piece of feedback for improving the experience would be to be more clear about location up front (particularly when it is not the same as the profile region) and let people know if any of the environment conditions will be different than the profile specs (if the profile says 1 dog at a time and no pets, tell owners when you have other dogs there and set up best practice introductions to see how the dogs interact.) I appreciated her willingness to keep the dogs separated, though, so it worked out OK.

Kimberly did a wonderful job caring for our cocker spaniel for a full week of boarding. She sent us regular photos and videos which we really appreciated. During drop off Kimberly was very friendly and it was immediately clear how much she enjoys pets. She was very attentive towards our questions and communication was very easy and she was responsive every step of the way. I would definitely book again with Kimberly in the future.

Kimberly was amazing with Ava! She provided daily updates throughout the day and took so many great pictures, which I really appreciated. It gave me peace of mind knowing Ava was in good hands and having a great time. I could tell she genuinely cared for her, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!
