Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, safe, and loving care
**New (potential) clients: I am fully booked and not able to take new clients for the rest of August 2026, as well as September. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.** Hi! I'm Kim. A lifelong dog person, I've hosted friends' dogs, from puppies to seniors, in my home for over 20 years. My husband, our dogs, and I love to spoil dogs when their family is away, knowing that the love and care we pour into dogs make their humans feel less anxious to leave town without them. Your pup can expect lots of walks, access to a doggy door, and a fenced-in backyard that is free from weed killers and other fertilizers. My husband and I have petsitting coverage through Pet Sitters Association.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Excellent caregiver, sent lots of pictures of how comfortable my dogs were, followed special instructions, wonderful clean home environment! Highly recommended and would use again if in the area.
Kimberly and Tim are wonderful people and pet owners/sitters. They're the only sitters who have ever asked us to come do a meet and greet, first, so our girls were comfortable with them and where they would be staying. The sent pictures, communicated really well (and promptly), taught us ways to walk our younger dog so she doesn't pull. I even miscalculated when we would be back from our camping weekend and they were super understanding and agreed to add an extra night for us. We have them booked for all our upcoming trips through the end of the year!
Kim was wonderful! What more can I say except I would recommend her!
My dog loves going to stay at Kimberly’s house! She is reliable, communicative, and takes great care of the dogs!
Kim was so wonderful with Bosco- what a transformation from a timid puppy to a relaxed lap sitting pup- she sent pictures and communicated with me which assured me he was in excellent hands! Thank you Kim and Tim!
Kim and Tim are the best pet sitters! Our dogs always look so happy with the pictures we receive! We very much appreciate Kim and Tim letting our pups hang out with them when we are gone!

Schedule
Working part-time from home means that I have plenty of time to provide your pet attention and affection. We'll get lots of quality time together! Walking dogs is an important part of my fitness routine, so your best friend will get lots of enrichment while you're away. Please note that I do leave the house on Wednesday evenings for choir practice and on Sunday mornings for church. Tim is home on Wednesday evenings. If your dog stays with me for an extended amount of time, I might need to leave for an appointment, quick trip to the grocery store, etc., from time to time.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Because we are such avid dog lovers, my husband and I set aside an entire room in our house for dogs to hang out when they need a safe place to hang out when we're away from home. This room has access to a doggy door, a fenced-in backyard with a locked gate, and grass that is free from fertilizer and weedkiller. Outside of this room, your dog will be free to hang out in our living room, snuggle up in a cozy dog bed in the office, or find some quiet in the kitchen or entryway. I honor your pet's sleeping preferences by allowing access to our bedroom if that is what they need to feel secure. Your dog will be loved and accepted, canine quirks and all!
Pets
A typical day
We will walk as far as your dog needs, being careful of weather conditions. We love to play fetch and explore the backyard around here. If your pet needs basic training reminders, I can do that, too.
