I care for your furry pups like my own. The downside of this for me is when they go home. Safety is always first, then the fun can begin. :)

Information Kimberly V. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if your dog has separation anxiety, food aggression or other dog aggression issues. Dogs with a history of aggression issues, I'm unable to accept. It's very helpful in knowing what to look for during their stay in my home to make it a safe environment and enjoyable for all. It's important to know if they have underlying health issues and what the possible signs are in relation to those issues.

A typical day

A typical day would start with a potty break then breakfast and water and of course another potty break. Lots of playtime and designated Naptime. Dogs love running through the kiddie pool during hot weather. Dinner is typically around 5 pm, then more supervised playtime with lots of snuggles. Bedtime is usually at 9-9:30 pm. If your dog is kennel trained at home for sleeping, I continue that practice here. If your dog sleeps freely at home, it's the same practice here.

Come Stay/Play Alki Beach Pet Care

Pet care experience

Ask about my June discount offer!!!!!I absolutely LOVE dogs and love getting outdoors on long beach, city, or forrest walks,..whatever your 🐕 needs. Im patient and affectionate with all breeds, but unfortunately am unable to board pitbull breeds...Living 1 block off of Alki beach and 3 blocks from Smitz Park allows your pet to get a beach walk or a beautiful forrest hills walk. I Especially love dog boarding and getting to care for your furry when your unavailable. I have a separate pet bedroom to accommodate the dog who prefers alone sleep time away from other dogs/ Your pet will be a welcome and well cared for guest in my home. I have lived off Alki Beach since 2015. Besides having 2 additional bedrooms downstairs, I have a very large 2nd doggie playroom, I have several regular local clients for doggie daycare. This is my full-time passion. I DO accept dogs up to 90 lbs. Smaller dogs that need a small dog environment are absolutely accommodated :)

Kimberly did a great job taking care of our kitties while we were away. She spent time with them, played with them and their toys, and made sure they both ate. She was respectful and professional in our home, I have no doubt we’ll hire her again the next time we have to be away.

Kimberly is an amazing sitter, she kept our dog happy and gave her walks and play time. We had zero concerns after her stay.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
