Pet care experience
Give your fur baby a puppy vacation
Your dog deserves a puppy vacation where they are pampered and loved 24/7. When I am house-sitting for you while you are on vacation, your pets will be loved and pampered in the comfort of their home, and we can keep the same schedule and daily routine while you are away. I always stay overnight with your dog and I am overjoyed when you allow your dog to sleep on the bed with me, in your guest bedroom or sofa. When your dog is outside, I stay outside with them the entire time. I can assure you that your dog will be entertained and loved all day, every day. We can discuss about your dog enjoying car rides or a play date at the dog park. My standard house-sitting includes the following complementary cleaning services: detail kitchen sink, vacuum all rooms we use, cleaning toilet in guest bathroom, and if time allows,... wash & dry the sheets in guest bedroom and remake guest bed. While house-sitting, I can bring in your mail and any packages delivered, and I always water your outdoor flowers, especially flowers in hanging baskets or pots. If the house-sitting is several days or a week, the indoor plants will also require watering, and you can provide written detailed instructions if necessary. And I actually enjoy doing windows too... Just ask 😎 I can effectively manage walking dogs of any breed or size. We can walk for a mile, or more, if you like to. I have the strength and skills to effectively control any large breed dog on a leash. My dog training skills are endorsed by my personal dog trainer, and we successfully accomplish behavioral modifications during daily walks, with my go to trainer, available anytime.

Safety, trust & environment
My yellow lab Honey has been so helpful with acclimating any shy dog. She goes into her puppy mode, and makes friends eagerly. Honey is essentially a therapy dog for other canines. I can feed your pet as instructed. I am experienced with bathing dogs and brushing all types of coats.
Ratings and reviews
Again, Kim, thank you so much!!!! I had issues with renters today and had to call Kim last minute. I so appreciate that she came by and took care of my dog otherwise he would have been inside for over 9 hours. I trust Kim to let herself in my house and she knows where all Leo's stuff is... And he loves seeing her 🥰 Thank you so much!!
I had to go to the emergency room. And I reached out to Kim to take my dog out while I was gone. She responded immediately and dropped everything and came over in the next hour or two. Not really sure exactly when because I was in the ER 🙂 My dog loves her.... And she did exactly what I asked her to do for his habits. After personally talking to her on the phone, I felt comfortable to leave my front door open to let her in my house . And I will not hesitate to use her again!!
Kimberly is such a great pet sitter! We did a meet and greet before hand and she handled my nervous dog perfectly. She communicated during the sit, sent pictures and videos and left my house spotless! Most importantly, my dog was happy and well taken care when I got home. I will definitely be using her in the future and recommending her to friends!
Our elderly pups, our kitty and birds were well loved and taken great care of. We appreciate all you do Kim! It made getting away much easier for us in so many ways. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Kimberly did an exceptional job. The house was clean when we got home and better yet our babies were happy and healthy! This was our first dealing with Kimberly, but it certainly will not be our last. Thank you for photos, your attention to medications, etc. You live up to all your wonderful reviews and then some!
Very happy, repeat customer. Kimberly is and will keep being our first choice anytime we need some coverage for the pups.
