Pet care experience

Dependable dog lover :)

Growing up around dogs and cats developed my love and admiration for animals, which I hope to share with your pets as well. I have volunteered & been a dog foster mom at Berkeley Humane, and am a freelance digital creative by day. Berkeley Humane has equipped me with plenty of experience when dealing with different breeds, medical care of dogs with various conditions (anxiety, PTSD, shyness, senior and puppies)-- I truly enjoy making animal's lives better. Being a freelance creative and working remotely gives me great flexibility to give attention and plenty of TLC to your beloved pets! I am responsible, dependable, and most importantly hope to provide the best care for your pet while you are away. I only host 1 dog at a time, and I'd love a meet and greet with your pet before any service, if that makes both you and the pet more at ease.

Luffy had so much fun with Kim and her roommates! He didn’t really want to go home at the end of the day 😁 she always sends photos and communicates well. He had a great time. I never worry about Luffy when he’s with Kim.

Kimson was so friendly and flexible! She was amazing with our fur baby!! She sent lots of photos and kept up updated throughout his stay! Will definitely ask Kimson to watch Chippy next time we need a doggy sitter!

Luffy had a great time with Kim. She was also very flexible with my schedule when i got stuck in traffic. I’m glad we met Kim and we will definitely return.

Great sitter! Kim was super friendly and easy to work with. My dog took to her right away. I could tell they were hanging out and having a great time. As a bonus, her yard is doggie heaven - huge, woodsy, and fully-fenced. Will definitely book with her again. Thank you!!

Kimson was great! She was very punctual and flexible with our schedule. She took great care of our little guy. Her house and yard were very well-suited for dog sitting. She was also very patient with our little knucklehead. 10/10.

Schedule

A typical daily schedule would entail frequent breaks and venturing outside on hikes or walking to close parks, if you are boarding at my place we will be sun basking in the backyard or going on 1-2 walks around the south Berkeley neighborhood.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and green lush lawn where your pet can bask in the sun or relax on the back deck/porch. I live next to several parks with ample room to roam and also live in a quiet, safe, residential neighborhood where I'd love to walk your pet. At your home, I'd love to take your dog walking or exploring any area you'd recommend!

A typical day

We will go on walks around the neighborhood, the Berkeley marina, some nearby hiking trails perhaps, and enjoy time in my backyard under shaded fruit trees :) Your pup is also welcome to sun-bask on my back patio deck or take a nap on my outdoor lounge couch (our favorite spot!)

16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Non-neutered males accepted, spayed females only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Kimson can host up to 1 pet per night
I'd love to know more about their demeanor, any quirks I should be aware of, mannerisms around other dogs / cats etc, and noise/bark level. I really love all dogs and don't have a breed preference -- I tend to prefer Small to Medium dogs over very large breeds.
