About Kimberly Z.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
🏡 I live in a pet-friendly apartment and provide lots of walks, snuggles, and personalized care. I generally keep my bookings limited to ensure each dog gets the attention they need, though I may occasionally take on more during high-demand times like holidays or school breaks. 🏡 ✨ Best fit: dogs that are low to moderate shedders or regularly groomed. I especially love poodles and poodle mixes (doodles)—their energy, intelligence, and personalities are a great match for my home. Smaller low-shedding breeds like schnauzers and shih tzus also do really well here. If your dog is a heavier shedder, feel free to reach out and we can chat. ✨ ⚠️ Safety requirements: 🐾 4–6 ft leash only (no retractables) 🐾 Harness if your dog pulls or is over 40 lbs 🐾 Must be comfortable in a crate when needed 🐾 Must wear a collar with ID tags at all times 🚫 Dogs must have no history of aggression toward other dogs. No toys, bones, or chews from home to help prevent resource guarding or conflicts. 🚫 I maintain a calm, structured, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax and coexist comfortably.

A typical day
I love to keep dogs active and happy! We’ll go on 1–2 long walks a day, along with 2-3 short works through the day, visit the dog park in my complex, and play fun mental enrichment games at home. My place is stocked with toys, chews, and comfy spots to relax—your pup will be spoiled with attention and stimulation!

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Kimberly, but I go by Kim 😊 I’ve had dogs my whole life — I’m 39 now, so that’s a lot of years loving pups! I’ve cared for everything from tiny 5 lb cuties to big 120+ lb snugglers, and dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve worked on training with my own dogs and am comfortable giving medications when needed. As a foster with a local rescue, I’ve helped anxious, scared, and quirky dogs feel safe and loved. I truly believe every dog is unique, and I take the time to get to know them so they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for like family.
Reviews
Kimberly was fantastic. Very responsive! We ended up booking with her last minute as our previous booking with another sitter canceled the night before we were leaving for our trip due to an emergency. I will say, we lucked up on Kimberly. Our 8yr old golden doodle got in walks, treats, chew toys, fun with her dogs, and lounge time. Our dog was happy and energetic when we picked him up. I would definitely recommend Kimberly. If her availability is open, we will book with her again.
Kimberly was amazing! She was able to help us out with short notice. She clearly has a love of pets and takes wonderful care of them. We will definitely reach out to her again for our sitting needs.
Kim is amazing. Very reliable and very responsible. I’m so glad we found her.
Awesome experience! Kimberly was very quick to respond to my request, and schedule a meet/greet. Louis is typically shy at the start, however Kimberly provided great updates during the day as he warmed up. At pick up, Louis was running around all over with her two dogs. Thank you Kim, appreciate you and the warm care you gave Louis!
