Pet care experience

Fauntleroy Doggie Oasis

*Please, no dogs over 25 pounds. I'm a dog lover with many years of experience caring for my personal dogs along with fostering for numerous rescue organizations over the years. I've cared for puppies, seniors, hospice dogs and extremely scared dogs. My house and yard are completely dog friendly and escape proof. I have 2 seniors ( Chihuahua & Papillion) and 2 young playful dogs ( Mixed breeds 14 pounds & 18 pounds) who absolutely love other dogs. My dogs are good about reading other dogs and will leave others alone if they aren't interested in interacting. I'm able to keep your dog in a separate area away from my dogs if needed. I have plenty of xpens to create whatever space is needed. ( My most recent foster dogs were 3, 8 week old puppies)

Kimiko was very easy to work with, her response time with perfect. She sent us wonderful photos of our pup having a good time with the other pups! Will use her again in the future, no question!

Zoe stayed with Kimiko for over 2 weeks while we traveled internationally. As per her previous stays, Zoe had a great time, was well taken care of, and Kimiko had great communication and updates throughout our entire time away.

My dog is always excited when I drop her off and I love the updates. So glad I found such a loving and responsible boarder.

Kimiko did such a great job of looking after my little guy! She is so knowledgeable and responsive and made him feel right at home. Would definitely recommend her.

Kimiko is the BEST caregiver for my senior Chihuahua! I recently boarded my senior Chihuahua with Kimiko and couldn’t be happier with the experience. For small, elderly dogs you need compassion, attentiveness, and a space set up for mobility and medical needs and Kimiko delivered on all counts. What stands out with Kimiko is her immediate love and welcome as if Mia is one of her own fur babies. Kimiko handles my senior Chihuahua gently, and takes accommodates her routines and personality. Her home is full of love and care with low-rise ramps, non-slip surfaces, elevated beds, and easy-to-reach food/water bowls made moving around safe and easy for a small, older dog. She provides my girl slow-paced walks, supervised playtime, and quiet one-on-one attention to ensure she stayed active without overexertion. I received photos, text updates, and messages about how she was doing — eating well, resting comfortably, and enjoying attention — which gave me great peace of mind. Kimiko runs a very well-organized home for dogs, with clear protocols for emergency veterinary care and immediate notification if anything changed. Thank you Kimiko for your love to Mia!

Pets

A typical day

Activities are tailored to the dogs needs. Walks to Fauntleroy Park, Lincoln Park, around the block, all depends ? My 2 younger dogs love to play with other dogs in the yard and all dogs get plenty of snuggle time if they so choose. Lots of stuffies, and squeaky toys available for the dogs to choose from as well.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Kimiko can host up to 2 pets per night
Let me know any special needs or quirks your dog may have in advance so I can make sure to accommodate them. Examples- food allergies, food or treat aggressive, resource guarding, potty trained, ect, are all good things for me to know in advance. I prefer dogs under 20 pounds but have boarded and cared for dogs in the 40 pound range that are friendly to smaller dogs. If needed, I can keep your dog separated from mine.
