About: I've been taking care of dog for as long as I can remember. I'm able to take care of/ watch dog from puppies to seniors. I've watched dog with and without disabilities, and I know how to administer medications from pills to shots. I also know how to preform cpr and the heimlich if needed. I currently have a part time job where I get to choose when to work. So I'm able to spend time with the fur babies whenever. I'm very respectful of my clients homes, and I follow rules that they set of me. I like to keep my clients updated on what's going on with plenty of photos, and I always try to make sure the fur babies I'm watching have a good time.

Kimberly B.
“We love Kim! Kim watched our dog, Bernie, consistently for 3 years and has become family. (We refer to her as Grandma Kim because she treats him like he is her own) The bond between Kim and Bernie is irreplaceable and I’m pretty sure he prefers her over me! And that is saying something! We’ve since moved and it’s honestly hard finding people we trust as much as Kim to watch our dog. Anyone in her area would be so lucky to have the opportunity to have her watch their pet. Your pet deserves it!”
