Bug had the best time with Kimberly and the other pups she had at daycare!!
Kimberly is great! We have used her multiple times now and she takes such great care of our dog! She will always make sure he is properly fed and exercised and sends a ton of great pictures.
Kimberly is the absolute best!! I left my 5 month old pup with her for a weekend away and when I got back she had learned so much. I received so many photos while away which made leaving her much less difficult knowing she was having the best time! I can’t wait to work with Kimberly more moving forward.
I was a little nervous leaving my 5-month-old pup for the first time, but Kimberly was absolutely amazing! She took the time to learn about the Pumi breed so she could give my pup, Hugo, the best possible care. Her dog, Henry, was such a sweet and chill companion — perfect for Hugo’s socialization. Kimberly went above and beyond with daily updates and tons of photos throughout the day, which really put my mind at ease. She even helped reinforce some of Hugo’s training, and I noticed a real improvement in his behavior when he came home. Hugo returned happy, content, and clearly well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience — I’ll 100% be booking with Kimberly again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter!
Kimberly exceeded all expectations! From the start, her communication was prompt and responsive, which immediately put us at ease. She’s clearly very caring and knowledgeable about dogs, and she took such great care of ours. We loved that she sent lots of photos and updates throughout the day—it really showed how attentive she was. We’ll definitely be using Kimberly again; she’s now our go-to pet caretaker! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.
Frankie had another great weekend with Kimberly and Henry!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
**Home Care:** Living near Carson and M Street Beaches, Harborwalk, Moakley Park, and the SB Bark Park provides great opportunities for walking and exercising your dog. My very friendly and good-natured dog will offer additional companionship for your dog. Your dog will have free roam of my home but can easily be crated if needed. **Client's Home Care:** When caring for pets in your home, I bring a portable crate so my dog can be crated if needed. Your dog's well-being and happiness is my top priority. I ensure they receive the same level of care and attention as they would in my own home or if they were my own family member. **In Both Settings:** - Daily walks and exercise at nearby parks and beaches. - Monitoring your dog’s health and well-being. - Providing companionship with my friendly dog. - Offering flexibility with crating, either at my home or by bringing a portable crate to your home. Your dog's happiness and well-being are always my top priority.
