Pet care experience
I have been pet/house sitting for about 17 years and love it! I have always owned cats, but had doggos, geckos and fish for a few years and love/have experience with other animals too! Pet sitting is like being a grandma, I get to enjoy them and then they go back to mommy...all the benefits (snuggles, pets, play, etc) and only short term or no “disadvantages” (cost, pet sitters for traveling, cleaning up poo, etc.). House sitting is like a mini stay-cation, it can be nice to get away from all of the work and projects at home! I am usually available overnight, during my lunch break (M-F) and on weekends. Families that I have house sat for in the past like that I take really good care of not just their pets, but their house too! I really try to leave it as I found it or better. I love animals and house sitting, your pets/home will be in good care with me! I do have a little one that will have to come along with me. My daughter is 9 years old, very well behaved, great with all types of animals (even ones who need space from her) and has come along with me to watch all types of animals. If you are leery, give her a chance! Meet us and then decide if we would be a good fit, she might surprise you! *I can only care for “giant” dogs if they do not pull too much and don't jump at all.

Kim is wonderful! She is trustworthy and does a Greta job with our dogs! We feel so lucky to work with someone as wonderful as Kim. She does exactly what she says she will, takes great care do the dogs (they love her!), and takes care of the house. Kim is wonderful
Kim was absolutely wonderful. She took excellent care of our dog and our home while we were out of town. We would highly recommend her and are excited to have someone so reliable and competent to call in the future.
Kimberly was a delight. She was very responsive and jumped into action on short notice after I had a cancellation. My dogs loved her and her daughter. She worked with me for creative solutions to the scheduling, as my dogs can be a little needy--both of them are high drive dogs and one has epilepsy and an intense medication schedule. She sent regular photos and asked good questions; she was patient with my questions (I'm an involved dog mom!). Also, she left the house looking nicer than when she got there! I would hire Kim back in a heartbeat.
Kim is fanatic! She goes the extra mile and delivers exactly on what she says she will do. Thanks Kimberly for your support.

I cannot care for pets in my home, but do my best to follow the pet owner’s instructions in theirs so that the pet with have the best experience possible without their loved ones.
Information Kimberly S. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if you have a pet who has aggressive tendencies or is “nippy” or if they are escape artists! :) I also need to know how much care they require. If your pet needs something different than is on my profile, just ask I may be able to do it! There may be an additional fee if they need something more than I have included on my profile. And one last thing, if you need a house sitter, I will need to know if your pet gets along with a very well behaved child, there is always a chance my kiddo will be coming along!
A typical day
We love to take doggies along with us for the day (weekends) if they are those kind of dogs and their owners feel comfortable with that! We also love taking doggos to the dog park!
