About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have always been comfortable caring for them. For the past 2.5 years, my wife and I have also been dog parents to our corgi, Riley. I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet, and I’ll treat every dog I care for like they’re part of the family. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine since we have a dog of our own. I also have the flexibility to work from home whenever needed, so I can be around throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. We have a dog-friendly home with a fenced-in yard and our friendly corgi, Riley. We’ll follow your dog’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions you provide. We want every dog staying with us to feel safe, comfortable, and at home.
“Kimberly was amazing with our crazy dog! We just moved and he was a bit anxious, but he loved her! She even offered to sew up one of the things he tore up in his kennel! She is so sweet and kept me informed on how my crazy little boy was doing while I was at work! I will definitely book her again!”

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
