Kimberly was outstanding. She took such wonderful care of Cookie - and kept us updated with numerous photos along the way! When we picked Cookie up, we could tell immediately that she had bonded with Kimberly. As excited as she was to see us, she was going back and forth between us and Kimberly. We knew she had had a wonderful, safe time!!

Notes from past dog families
Kimberly is a sweet dog mama. My 2 old dogs came back calm, fed and well cared for and when I asked them how was it they just wagged their tails.
Kimberly came in clutch on a last minute request. Saved me from a lot of stress. She took great care of Nikko. Will definitely be using her services in the future.
Kim did a fantastic job of taking care of our Oakley! She came when she was supposed to and was very attentive and loving with our dog Oakley and also very trustworthy. I would highly recommend her and would rehire her if ever we needed a dog sitter in the future. We were very happy with her!
My goldendoodle Lola stayed with Kimberly last week. I received photos and videos every day which made me so happy to see that Lola was having such fun. Kimberly took the time to reassure me that everything was going great. Lola was very well cared for, played with, held and even brushed while she was there. Overall, a wonderful experience! Thank you so much Kimberly!
Always love leaving my gigi girl here! She has the best time!!
Gordon always appears happy in pictures and comes home tired. He loves playing with all the other dogs!
Kimberly was a lifesaver! I had an emergency situation where I needed someone to watch my dog Brody on very short notice, and she responded within 20 minutes that same morning. She was so accommodating and easy to communicate with throughout. She sent photos and videos of Brody playing, which gave me total peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive sitter who genuinely cares about the pups in her care!
Kimberly is wonderful! We entrusted her with our 4 lb Yorkie, Winnie, for the weekend while we were in town for a wedding. She was excellent with her communication and flexible with our drop-off time on the day of the wedding. She followed all our instructions for Winnie and took such great care of her. I would highly recommend her to care for your furry loved ones.
Kim is great! I feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her. She loves him like her own and communicates well. Our dog is always excited when we pull in and leaves a happy and tired boy. We highly recommend Kim!
Great experience. Received photos of my pooch smiling ear to ear. Smiles and tail wags don't lie, he was well taken care of.
We spent the weekend in Newport and Kimberly provided an amazing day for my pup so we could explore without worrying! Otis spent all day playing with other dogs, running around Kimberly's backyard. She was kind, communicative, and took care of Otis wonderfully.
Kim is wonderful. We feel so relieved when we travel to know our furry friends are in great hands.
Kim is the best dog sitter I could ever ask for. She watched my previous dog whenever I was out of town over the course of 9 years, and she just watched my energetic new puppy. I completely trust Kim and I know that no matter what, my dogs will be safe with her. She has a very special gift with dogs. She recently sent me a picture with all of the dogs she was watching that day taking a nap. Unbelievable! Dogs of all sizes run into her house when they arrive! Let the fun begin!
Kim and her team are the absolute best!
Thank you so much to Kimberly for watching Honey on our wedding day.
Wonderful! My dog had such a great time with other pups, which makes us so happy! Kimberly was very responsive and accommodating. Super grateful for her taking good care of our dog!
Fantastic job! Extremely knowledgable about how to care for and provide medication to an elderly dog with diabetes and multiple eye conditions. Able to take care of my dog with virtually no inputs while I was away other than initial instructions. Very well done!
Kimberly was awesome. So good to our pups. We loved getting pictures of them on our trip. They clearly had a great time. Will 100% use her again!
So amazing! Kim agreed to watch our pup on short notice and really saved the day. She sent adorable pics of her with the other dogs. I would use her all the time if we lived nearby, we were only in for the weekend.
Simply put, Kimberly is great. I booked Kimberly with short notice and she was very friendly. She took care of Poppy providing genuine care and sharing lots of updates with me. I highly recommend and would definitely book her again the next time I'm in the area.
Five stars, zero hesitation. Kimberly runs a wonderful day care — she kept us in the loop with photos all day, made sure Kotaro was socializing with the right crowd, and clearly loves what she does. Kotaro came home happy and tired (the dream!). We'll absolutely be back next time we're in Newport.
Very kind and flexible! My dog clearly took to her right away. I'm so grateful Rover connected us to such a warm person to trust our best friend with.
Kimberly is so awesome! Our dogs love her and she is very responsive, professional and kind!
Honey had a great time staying with Kimberly! We would love to have her watch her again.
Ronin had a great time with Kimberly! We were nervous leaving him as we've only left him with family before but Kimberly made us feel great about our choice!
My dog loved his time over 4 days with Kimberly and his new furry friends! He'll go back!
Ned did great with Kim. He enjoyed playing with the other dogs and we loved that he could feel at home and cuddle in the evenings. We loved getting photo updates and will definitely be booking additional stays with Kim. Thank you!
Thanks for taking our pups on Xmas!
So sweet with our pup. Great with dogs!!!
Kimberly was so lovely to communicate with and great with our 7 month old Gracie. We will request again!
Our pup loves seeing Kim and her crew. Kim, thank you for always being so responsive and for loving our pup!
Thank You! Robin had a blast!
Kimberly is very caring and loving to our dog Tucker.
Kimberly gave Dayzee May plenty of attention, and she is a dog who loves to snuggle. She also enjoyed playing with other dogs. It was a good experience for our puppy, and I would highly recommend her.
Gordon loves his time at Kim's!!
Kimberly was fantastic! We were visiting Newport and Kimberly was a life saver with watching our little girl for us! She is a great communicator and shared so many photos, I know our girl had the best time with her!!
Gordon is always happy to see Kim!!
Kimberly always is always very professional and friendly.
Kimberly was a life saver as we were able to book with her just a few days before we needed day care for our dog. Katara came home very relaxed and happy — she clearly had a great time! Happy to recommend her to others and would rebook again if needed.
Coach was a busy, happy, tired boy when I picked him up. Kimberly was great — will definitely use again!
Kimberly was incredibly warm and welcoming with our dog who seemed to enjoy herself immensely! She was so communicative about our dog's activities and orientation. We will always go to her when we are in the area.
We're so happy to have found Kimberly! We feel very confident leaving our little guy with her!
Kimberly was great and super delightful to work with. She had several dogs for my pup to play with for the day. She was very knowledgeable and took many photos. Thank you Kimberly we will see you next year when we are back in Newport!
Kimberly was outstanding! Our dog was so happy to see her in the morning and had a lot of fun playing with the dogs at her home.
Kimberly is the best! Our first time with her. The communication was exceptional before, during and after our dog's stay. Guinness had such a good time — as could be seen in the many pictures shared throughout his stay. He was well taken care of and loved! We will definitely be back. I highly recommend Kimberly.
Vivi had a great day! Thank you for your flexibility Kim!
Communication was great, we got pictures of Gordon every day and he always looked happy. I'm sure he loved having dogs to play with during the day and we love that he didn't have to be crated at night since he doesn't sleep in a crate at home.
We were so lucky to find Kimberly! This was our first time using Rover. We needed to find care for our little dog while vacationing in the area. She took such good care of him and he seemed at home with her. We got update pictures that we very much appreciated. When we are back in the area, we will use Kimberly again.
Kimberly took my pup in while I was traveling in the area. Got some great pics of her having fun with the other doggos. Easy to work with. Quick communication.
Thank you for taking Sasha on such short notice. As always she was happy and well cared for.
Kimberly was great! Took great care of Annie! Great communication and photos while she was staying with her. Very pleased as this was my first experience with Rover.
Kimberly was amazing with our dog Moxie. This was the first time using Rover since we would usually just have neighbors watch Moxie for short vacations but this time we went out of town for a week so we picked Kimberly based on her hundreds of reviews. She went above and beyond to make sure Moxie was happy. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Moxie was comfortable and happy at home. We will definitely be booking Kimberly on Rover again soon!
Kim was fantastic with communication and sent us pictures multiple times in a day. She came tired and smelling so good. Thank you for giving her a safe and loving environment to stay.
Kimberly was great and Kira was happy when we picked her up! We would definitely bring her to Kimberly again.
Awesome communication and all pictures looked like my dog was having an amazing time!
Tucker was well cared for and had a great day! We will definitely use Kimberly again!
Vivi had a wonderful day! Thanks for the pictures and updates and taking the time to introduce her gradually to the other dogs. We are looking forward to Wednesday! Thank again.
Robin had such a great time at Kim's! Thank You!
We booked Kim last minute and she was a life saver! Recommend booking her immediately!
Kimberly was great! She sent lots of pics and updates upon request. She was also flexible with drop off and very responsive. Josie seemed to have a lot of fun and was tired after daycare. I felt completely comfortable.
Moo is always happy to arrive at Kim's and I love seeing the silly pictures of her playing with her friends. Kim is flexible, easy to book for both overnight stays and daycare, and so friendly. We're so glad we found her on Rover!
Kimberly is the best! We will always trust our dogs with her!
Kimberly was FANTASTIC!! She was reliable, taking excellent care of our flat faced fur baby in the heat. Our doggo clearly loved drop in time with Kimberly! Would absolutely rebook!!
Kimberly was great, Milo had the best time and was so happy and loving life with her! Will definitely be calling her again! Thank you so much!
Kimberly was such a great host for Harlow! We were in town for a quick weekend trip, and Kimberly was so accommodating. She was incredibly responsive, and ensured that Harlow had a great stay. Totally recommend!
Kimberly was so amazing! She accommodated us in short notice which was extremely helpful. The dogs had a great time, thank you again!
Pistachio had a great time!
She was able to take great care of our very senior male, active female and our recent feral rescue. She provided lots of pictures too!
Our furry friends are in great hands with Kimberly. She's so on top of it and she really cares about the pets she's taking care of.
Kimberly is fantastic. A total life saver. She was very flexible with our changing schedule and our dog had a good time playing at her house.
Kimberly was great with Sadie. She was professional and flexible. Look forward to continuing with Kimberly.
Goose thoroughly enjoyed his time there. Came back a tired pup.
Kimberly is amazing!! She watched my pup last minute and I am really thankful. The best experience ever! She sent pictures and kept me updated on how everything was going! I really trust her to take great care of my pup and everyone else's!
Our little friend was in such great hands with Kimberly. We strongly recommend her.
Robin always has a blast! Great to see him play on the rainy day! Thanks Kim!
Thank you for treating our pup with the best care while we were away for the weekend!! We loved getting update pictures! He was a tired pup after all the fun play over the weekend and is excited for the next time he's back with Kim & friends.
First time and just to see how my Maya was so confident around her says a lot. She was awesome with her!
Buoy had a blast!! Came out smiling, wagging his tail and slept lots that night! Thanks Kim! He can't wait to be back.
Robin super excited to arrive there, be there. Seeing him jump with excitement is such a joy! Post visit: Robin was super chill.
I love Kim. She treats my dog like her own. My dog always seems happy to go to Kim's and tired out when she gets home! It's a win for all. Kim makes it easy to leave my dog with her when I go out of town and it's always a great experience. It's wonderful to be able to trust Kim with my dog!
Kimberly is reliable and great with my cat! She's definitely one of my go-to sitters.
Kimberly was wonderful with my Coco and took great care of her. First time leaving her in her care and she was very communicative and responsive. Thank you!
Always a fun time at Kim's!
We are very happy with Kim and the care she provides our pet. Sasha is always excited when we pull up for drop off.
Robin always gets excited to arrive at Kim's. He has such a fun time, and sleeps soundly once home! Thank you Kim and team! See you soon!
A great place to leave our pet. Well cared for with plenty of play time and lots of daily pictures and videos.
Never actually met Kim. Drop off and pick up were handled by her team. Got photos and quick communication throughout the day she was caring for my dog. Easy access to the house. Thanks for watching my pup so we could enjoy a day exploring Newport!
Robin always has a fun time at Kim's, where we know he's safe and well cared for. TY
Brady had another great stay with Kimberly!
Did an amazing job taking care of my dog! Very communicative and easy to work with — helped me out when I made a mistake with the booking. Would definitely recommend.
Robin ever SO HAPPY to play at Kim's… he came home ready for a long nap.
Kimberly, thank you for always taking great care of Melvin. Also thank you for always being flexible! It is much appreciated.
Kimberly agreed to watch my dog during a very busy weekend and without much notice. She was very prompt with communication. Pearl was happy and well taken care of when I picked her up.
We are so happy with Kevin's experience with Kim. He came home after a weekend full of playing with lots of doggy friends!
So easy to work with while visiting Newport and in need of someone to watch my pup. Kimberly was super flexible and so helpful with various changing situations.
The only person we trust to care for our dog! We moved out of Newport 2 years ago and we continue to make the hour long drive before and after our trips because we know our dog is in the best care with Kimberly!
We had minimal contacts, but initial contacts were good. She sent enjoyable pictures. Yashi said she had a nice time and wouldn't mind going there again.
Kim was so responsive and took great care of our dog Teddy. Thank you for coming to save the day and for taking such good care of Teddy!
Robin is the happiest doggie when he spends time at Kim's.
Kimberly knocked it out of the park. She watched my two pups for a week and I'm fairly certain they didn't want to leave when I came to pick them up! Tons of play time, individual attention, and socialization afforded over the weeklong stay. I have no hesitation to sign them back up when the time comes again!
Kimberly is fantastic. She was super flexible and very easy to work with. Our dog Hula had such a good time!
Kimberly was a great and caring host to our dog, Penny. We'd definitely stay with Kimberly again if we're back in the area.
Everything went really well. Very satisfied and would highly recommend.
Kimberly was amazing to work with! Superb communication skills and such a positive experience for our Stella! We will definitely be returning for doggy daycare and boarding! Thank you!
Kim was amazing! Super quick response time for a last minute request as an out of stater. She sent a bunch of pics and our pup loved being at her place.
Robin had a Pawsome time at Kim's! He is now chilling from all the running, playing and loving! Kim is the best!
Robin is all excitement when he's headed to Kim's. And at drop off, he never looks back. He absolutely loves it at Kim's.
Kimberly is the best! She keeps us updated on our little dog and all her activities. Darla comes home to us happy, content, and tired after a long weekend of activities. Booked her twice so far and will do in the future!
Robin had a great time and got to play with other doggies. We are always at peace when he is at Kim's.
Had an excellent experience here! We were in Newport for a short stay and our pup loved hanging out with Kimberly and the other dogs. We also got updated photos and Kimberly was very flexible with our pick up time. Two thumbs way up! Thanks again.
Our pups Bucky and Pepper had such a fun time at Kimberly's day care! We loved getting pictures of them during the day. They were totally wiped out by the end of a fun day playing with other dogs. Thanks so much, Kimberly!
Thank you Kimberly.
First time doing daycare. Would highly recommend! G was very well taken care of. Definitely coming back!
Puppy Robin absolutely loves Kim! He did a full body wagging when I dropped him off, and never looked back. Thank you for everything!
Moo had a great time playing with her new friends!
Kimberly took great care of my dog. He came back healthy and happy.
Robin is always excited to come back! Thanks Kim!
Puppy Robin played a lot, got belly rubs and got to chase other doggies… he's always excited and recognizes Kim's house as a special place.
Kimberly and team are fantastic and Lucy has a great time there. There are just the right amount of playmates and she loves going there for daycare. Can't give a higher recommendation to any looking for a quality care experience for their dogs.
Kimberly was great! She did a wonderful job communicating throughout the day with text & pictures. Raina (our 1 1/2 year old German Shepherd) had a great stay (4 days) with Kimberly.
Always a happy pup. Thanks!
Kimberly is so kind and took wonderful care of our high maintenance 15 year old dog Cami for a week. She provides regular updates and photos every day, and responds quickly to any questions. She is amazing!
Very happy with Benji's day care. Kimberly took good care of my pup!
Kimberly's place is my sweet rescue pup's most favorite place away from home. He was more excited to see her on his second day there than he has been to see my immediate family! He's in love and I'm in love. Thank you so much Kimberly!
Kim and her team did a great job taking care of my boy. Great communication and sent photos. We will go back. Thank you!
Kimberly was great! Pick up and drop off was super easy and our pup had a blast!
Took time to take pics and send. Friendly and caring. Would definitely book again.
Kimberly is awesome! My dog was so happy boarding with her. She treats your dog like they are hers. Lots of love, fun and comfort provided for our dog. So glad we found Kimberly and her services. It's a comfort to know that our dog is being so well cared for and happy while we're away. She's amazing!
Our Robin came back home happy and calm. We could tell from the updates that he had a good time at Kim's. Thank You!
Daisy had a wonderful time! We loved the photo updates and ease with which drop-off/pick-up worked. Great experience!
We were traveling out of town and Kimberly came to our rescue! Our dogs needed last minute daycare and they were so happy and safe. Thank you!
We boarded our dog for one night. He was well taken care of. We got plenty of photos during his stay, and we picked up a very happy dog. We will definitely reach out next time we are in Newport. Thank you!
Hudson had a great day playing near Newport!
Kimberly was awesome watching our high energy dog. My dog got to play in her yard and have a blast with the other dogs staying. She was also extremely flexible with us on a day when our return flight was cancelled.
Kimberly was awesome! Our pup Pocket had the absolute time of his life spending time with her and some other dogs. We really appreciated her spending time with him and can't wait to take him back!
Booked for the first time last minute, Kimberly was very patient and flexible and my dog came home exhausted which was my goal! Will definitely use again.
So easy to book and communicate with Kimberly! Coco was having the time of her life via all the photos taken! We will definitely re-book and so happy we found someone we trust with our baby!
Our puppy was calm upon picking him up. We got a photo update of him playing in the yard and Kim was flexible with our pick up time. Overall a great first experience!
Kim was amazing! We had a very last minute overnight request for our family dog and she was so accommodating and communicative. Our dog isn't around other dogs much and is not used to being leashed but she had a great yard for him to run around in and gave him multiple breaks away from the other dogs so he wouldn't get stressed. We got several pictures throughout the day and he looked like he was having a blast! We will definitely be bringing him back and highly recommend Kim!
I highly recommend Kimberly! I could tell Chance had a lot of fun during his stay!
Kim's place is super great! Our Verna visited there for one day and she was well taken care of and definitely had a lot of fun!
Kimberly is simply the best when it comes to boarding dogs. Our two adult dogs stayed with her for 12 days. Not a day went by without photos of their activities. She was very responsive to texts via Rover. Very impressed with her love of all dogs and care for them. They had a wonderful vacation with her. Thank you Kimberly!
Kim saved us last minute when we were in town for our wedding and our alternative arrangements were cancelled. Ziggy seemed at home. Kim was extremely communicative, flexible, and personable! We would 100% recommend and will absolutely reach out to Kim next time we're in Newport.
Thank you, Kimberly, for taking such good care of Odysseus! We were so relieved for him to have a loving, fun home while we were away. He loved playing with other dogs and romping through your yard — and especially the nighttime snuggles!
Jack loved being there!!! He will be back next week.
This was our first time boarding our dog, Brady, with Kimberly and it was a very positive experience! Kimberly sent pictures and updates daily, and I could see he was loving hanging out with the other dogs and cuddling with her on the sofa at night. Will definitely call her next time we need a pet sitter!
Kimberly took great care of our reactive dog Boujee who had a great time at her place. Her home is well set up to take on dogs. Would recommend her to anyone looking for day care options!
Kimberly took great care of my elderly dog while I was away. She sent pictures daily and was even able to pick him up due to an early flight I had to make. I have full confidence that she provides the best care and have booked her again for boarding services. Thank you, Kimberly!!
I highly recommend Kim as a dog boarder! She took care of our beloved corgi Griffyn while we visited Newport, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. Kim was reliable, responsible, and flexible with our schedule. She treated Griffyn as if he were her own dog, and it was clear from the daily updates and pictures she sent us that he was happy, safe, and well-cared for. Plus, Kim runs a doggie daycare and has other dogs in her care, so your dog will have a great time making new friends. If you're looking for a trustworthy and flexible dog boarder, Kim is your person. Five stars all the way!
Thank you so much for taking care of Mabel! She seemed to have a great time and has been pooped out since we picked her up!
Constant updates with pictures.
Such a wonderful experience! Luna has so much fun at daycare with Kimberly and her pack.
Kimberly has been looking after our fur babies for years. She is the Best!
Very good, our dog was happy and had a fun day of play!
My dogs seem very happy in their photos and are calm and relaxed when I pick them up.
Thanks for taking care of Clover and for your flexibility!!
We are so happy we chose Kimberly to take care of our Otis.
Not quite sure if my dogs were even happy to see us when we picked them up because they had such a great time! Kimberly was so communicative with us their entire stay and photos showed our dogs felt right at home. Thanks for everything!
Kimberly is the best. Very glad I came across her profile. Being a first time dog owner, she is by far the best sitter I've had so far. Hidden gem in Newport. Her house is very accommodating with a huge fenced in backyard for the dogs to run and play in. Her facilities are extremely clean and well kept. Top quality and highly professional. My dog did not want to leave and kept looking back at her place as we drove away. Will definitely become a regular.
Kimberly is amazing, as always! Our number one go-to. She is so great with our pup! Wouldn't trust anyone else.
We have a relatively new puppy and were very nervous about the prospect of boarding her while we were in Newport for a meeting. After reading numerous reviews, we ventured out and gave Kimberly a try. She was outstanding! Our puppy had a fabulous time, made new friends and was taken care of beautifully. Kimberly has secure fenced in yards so our youngster could run freely and safely. She sent photos and messages each day which was a great reassurance. I would highly recommend Kimberly to pet sit your beloved one. I would book with her again in a flash!
Kimberly was amazing. This was my first time ever leaving our pups to be looked after by a sitter and I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Kimberly. She is so sweet and is a natural animal lover. She sent daily updates and pictures and the pups loved their time with her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will be using her again in the future!
Thank you again for outstanding service! Kimberly brought our dog to our wedding and it couldn't have been a more smooth process. 5/5 stars once again.
Without a doubt, Kimberly genuinely loves dogs and is there to provide the best care for them! My two golden retrievers were happy, healthy and exhausted when I picked them up. Kimberly sent numerous pictures of them romping and playing throughout the day with other happy pups! What a great experience and you should definitely try her services for yourself!
Henry had a wonderful stay with Kimberly! She sent a ton of pictures and drop off and pick up were so easy! Thank you!!
Kimberly is the best.
Sophie was well-cared for by Kimberly. We were grateful to find her because she was near where we needed to be that day. Sophie seemed happy there and Kimberly sent me photos and an update.
Bootsy had the best time with Kimberly. She sent lots of photos of him playing and relaxing.
Kim was amazing — she was so kind and friendly and gave fantastic updates! My fiancé and I felt completely at ease when he was staying with Kim. We would happily use her again!
Thanks for always taking such great care of Stella!!
Remy had the best day with Kim, we are so thankful for her and her flexibility. He can't wait to go back!
5/5 stars! Our pup was with Kimberly for a night and she couldn't be more exhausted today! She had excellent care and we got updates throughout the day and night. We can't wait to have her go back in a few weeks!!
Kimberly communicated promptly and sent us photos of our dogs, who always looked happy.
Kimberly was great — she was easy to communicate with, she sent pictures throughout Lucky's stay! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again!
It was Colt's first time staying away. I was a little nervous leaving him anywhere. Kimberly was great. Every day she would send pictures or videos. I think Colt actually had fun by the end!
Kimberly is amazing! She's super communicative. Buttons (my dog) absolutely adored her. My wife was a bit nervous dropping off Buttons due to some recent leash aggression, but Kimberly and her mother completely put us at ease. They know how to introduce the dogs and have a great setup. Added bonus, Kimberly sends lots of pictures of your pup. I'd highly recommend using Kimberly to watch your dog and will be booking with her again next time we're in Newport.
Kim sent me pictures every day while Penelope was with her. It seems that Penelope had active days with other dogs that were also in daycare for the day. I felt assured that Penelope was in good hands while on vacation.
She did an amazing job with our corgi! She played with her a lot and sent photos to update us. Paisley left with a big smile on her face and wiped out from a fun day playing.
My dogs have been enjoying daycare and coming home happy and tired! Nice large, fenced in yard. Highly recommend Kimberly!
Kimberly was the best host to our two pups. The boys clearly had a lot of fun, the house had a big yard for them and I could just tell Kimberly loves taking care of the pups she watches. It made our wedding weekend a breeze, even picking them up during the day and dropping them off after some events — she went above and beyond to make our time smooth and easy. Thanks again Kimberly, we will be back soon!
Kimberly was awesome! Would definitely use her again! We left our Coco with her on two different occasions during our stay in Newport and felt very comfortable that she was in the best hands. Highly recommended.
Kimberly was fantastic! Harry was boarded for a week whilst we went on vacation. The daily photos she sent gave us great peace of mind and allowed us to truly relax knowing Harry was so happy. Our return flight was canceled and with no bother at all, Kimberly happily extended Harry's stay. Thank you so much Kimberly! It's fantastic to know that we can rely on you to take care of our boy whenever needed.
There are not enough good things I can say about Kimberly and her mom. My dog is always excited to go there whether for daycare or for an overnight which gives me the peace of mind to know that she is so well cared for. They are also always very accommodating and flexible. Couldn't ask for more — thank you so much!!
Kim watched my two dogs, Roo and Kanga, while I was up in Rhode Island visiting family. She made me feel incredibly comfortable with leaving my pals and provided regular photos and updates. Both ladies came back exhausted from good play with other dogs — I could tell they had a great few days. I would absolutely use Kim in the future. Huge thank you!
Kimberly was so amazing and accommodating for our dog, Gunner! We were in town for our wedding and needed a loving home for our 2 year old Aussie for a few days. She sent tons of pics and even took the time to give him special one-on-one attention to help ease his separation anxiety. Would highly recommend!
Kim took wonderful care of my older shih tzu Cooper once again! In fact he's staying with her in a few days for a third sleepover. We couldn't be happier having Kim watch our precious boy.
Lily had a great time while staying with Kimberly!
Milo had a wonderful time with Kimberly! He gets a little nervous in new places and being left with new people but he went in right away and didn't even look back. I got photos and updates so I didn't feel worried about how he was doing and he looked like he had a great time with everyone! When we got back to our hotel, Milo immediately fell asleep thanks to the busy day he had. Thanks so much for watching Milo!
Kimberly took great care of my older shih tzu. He had lots of attention and I got regular pictures of him and his activities! He is going back very soon for another stay. I am very happy we found her!
Happy dog, happy owners. Thank you Kimberly!!
Kimberly did a great job watching Peggy Sue and I didn't worry at all about leaving her there. I got pictures every day and Peggy looked so happy and comfortable!
Kimberly took great care of our labradoodle Maggie! She sent regular updates and photos and made sure Maggie was comfortable and happy. Definitely recommend and would use again!
Highly recommend! Kimberly was great! Very responsive and kind! Sent me pictures throughout the day which eased my nerves. Very simple drop off and pick up. My dog was so tired and happy when I picked him up at the end of the day. Definitely will be booking her again soon!
Kimberly was fantastic! I cannot have imagined a better person to care for my puppy for two weeks. I will definitely be rebooking.
Thank you for taking such great care of Stella. The pictures keep me up to date and I was so happy to see her playing!
Great experience! Kota (Great Pyrenees) loved her stay. We received regular pictures and updates while we were out of town.
Our dog, Ollie, is very aware of the phrase 'you're going to see Kimberly today!' Every time, he becomes so excited, waits for his leash to be put on, and runs to the car. Kimberly is our go-to sitter whenever we need help with Ollie. She is the BEST!
Kimberly has been and continues to be an amazing help to me and my partner with our 8 month old Great Dane puppy. Our puppy Watson cannot wait to get to Kimberly's house in the morning. He is jumping at the passenger door to get out of the car before I pull in to Kimberly's driveway. Kimberly is extremely accommodating — my work requires travel and events where the hours I need someone to watch Watson vary, and Kim has always been able to accommodate my schedule. She is so kind, sweet and generous. I know that Watson will receive the absolute best care and have tons of fun while with Kim. Thank you so much Kim!!
Kimberly was great! We were nervous about leaving our pup overnight for the first time. Kimberly sent pictures and updates every day so we knew Winston was happy and having fun! We will definitely have Winston stay with her for our next vacation.
Kimberly was wonderful and very responsive! She kept us updated during the day to give us peace of mind — definitely recommend!
Our dog, Elvis, had a great time at Kimberly's! It's clear that Kimberly really loves dogs and she was so sweet with him. I was super nervous about leaving him with someone new and she was very kind about that and sent me lots of pictures. She was also really flexible about drop off and pick up times, which I really appreciated!
Kimberly was amazing! She sent us plenty of photos and updates while we were away. That really put our minds at ease! Our guy Bosun came home tired and happy!
Fantastic!! I could tell my elderly dog was getting the love she needs!
Kimberly was lovely to work with! We will absolutely be sending Mellow back for sleepovers! Our dog has some anxiety and needs lots of exercise and she was happy to accommodate him. Kimberly was very fast to respond to us and sent us loads of photos of our good boy. 10/10 highly recommend.
Kim took the time to answer all of my questions during our meet and greet. You can immediately tell how passionate she is about animals. Huey is my first dog so I get slightly nervous leaving him but Kim sent a ton of photos during the day so I felt at ease! We are on our second day in a row of daycare and I will definitely continue to use Kim in the future!
Kim took care of my dog Penny over the Christmas holiday and was so great! She sent lots of pictures and Penny came home very happy and very tired! I will definitely recommend Kim to others — you can tell she has a passion for what she does and your dog will be left in great hands!
Bean had the time of his life at Kim's place. He came home each day tired and content. She took great care of him and was helpful and responsive. Great experience!!
Kimberly took great care of my puppy and sent tons of photos throughout the day to show how much fun he was having. He will definitely be back soon!
Kim was amazing! We trusted her with our two pups for almost a week during the holidays (including Christmas Day!). She sent us pictures and updates every day. Because she usually watches multiple dogs, it really gave our pups a chance to socialize with other dogs. We were able to book her sort of last minute and she really saved us by being available and so great with them! We will definitely be booking Kim again!!
Lola and Sophie loved their day with Kimberly. They came home happy. Kimberly was excellent with Sophie who can be a bit anxious with new people and dogs. We highly recommend Kimberly and will be taking the girls back.
Great experience. We were excited to see Kimberly had our dog playing with other dogs when we didn't think that would be possible. Kimberly is clearly a dog whisperer! Thanks Kimberly and see you again soon!
Ralphie loved his day with Kimberly and the other dogs. She sent me pictures of him happily playing in the yard. Kimberly is easy to work with, professional and made me feel at ease leaving my dog with her. Already planned another visit.
Would definitely return in the future!
Kimberly was very responsive and sent a ton of photos of my pup Bear. My scheduling was last minute and she took in Bear with zero hesitation. I will be using her service again in the future.
My pup loves going to Kimberly! She is so welcoming and my dog definitely feels it. Easy from drop off to pick-up. Highly recommend!
My dog had so much fun! I gave a rough estimate on a drop off and pick up and she was easily able to assist. 10/10 would bring my dog here again. Kimberly sent pictures halfway through the day of my dog having a blast. Definitely worth not only the money but the peace of mind that my dog was safe and well taken care of.
Kimberly was wonderful with Jack, very communicative and helpful! It was great having the peace of mind that he was well cared for while we were away.
Kimberly took care of our dog Walter for 9 nights, and I was so grateful that he was in such good hands. I received pictures every day and could tell he was having a blast. He came home happy and healthy, and we are so appreciative Kimberly has always been there to care for our little man!
Kimberly is the kindest, sweetest dog sitter on the planet. She loves my dogs as much as I do! She's very flexible and available and very accommodating. We love Kimberly!
Kim is simply the best. She's been a sitter for me for years and I trust her wholeheartedly with my pup. I'm always so grateful for her taking the best care and can fully relax knowing my dog is in the absolute best care. Wouldn't ever hesitate for a second booking with her and again so so thankful for her!
Kim is by far one of my favorite people on Rover. I used her services every Wednesday for almost two years and then for an entire week during my PCS moving process while attending the Naval War College in Newport. My 3 year old German Shepherd is prone to anxiety with change — but he absolutely loved every moment in Kim's hands and always came back to me tired and full of smiles. If you are looking for someone who will treat your best friend like family, Kim is your girl.
Our Bean had the best time with Miss Kimberly! Great communication and experience — highly recommend.
Kim was so amazing and communicative!!! She took great care of our dog!
Wally loved his day with Kimberly! We were visiting Newport from NYC and wanted a day to do humans-only activities, so we dropped Wally off with Kim and she was so caring. She sends lots of photos and went the extra mile to help us out. If you live in the Newport area and have the chance to put your dogs in Kim's care more regularly, you are so lucky!
Penelope has stayed with Kim at her home twice — each for two weeks at a time. Kim has dogs that come daily for daycare and this provided Penelope a chance to be around other dogs to play and socialize. Kim is hands on and will take Penelope on long walks and to the beach, which Penelope loves. She will follow your care instructions and do whatever is necessary to make your dog comfortable and at ease.
I highly recommend choosing Kimberly! She took such good care of my 3 month old puppy. I was really nervous about leaving him and was instantly put at ease when I met her. Kimberly has great communication skills. I received photos and updates throughout the day, which I very much appreciated. It is evident to see that Kimberly really cares about animals. She is a dependable, responsible and loving person and sitter. If I need care in the future, we will most definitely be contacting Kim again.
Kimberly was awesome! She treated our pup as one of her own! Super responsive on texting and sent us pictures to keep our minds at peace during her stay. Can't wait to have a reason to go back to Newport to give our dog a playdate.
Love Kimberly!!!!
Kimberly is absolutely amazing! She has been taking care of our dog for years and he LOVES her. She cares for him like her own and always goes above and beyond. We always get lots of pictures of our pup and feel so comfortable knowing he's in great hands. Kimberly is the best dog sitter on the island without a doubt!
Kimberly was beyond awesome! We needed a pet sitter for the day of our wedding and she was so communicative and flexible with us! Our dog had an absolute blast and she was great with sending pictures. Thank you so much!
Kimberly was awesome with our 2 pups! She communicates, sends photos and updates and really cared for my dogs. Would 100% recommend.
Milly loves Kim!!!
We always feel so comfortable leaving our high anxiety pup with Kimberly. She is always attentive, responsive and Bruno does really well under her care. This last time she was super flexible even though we were running a bit behind for pick up. Thank you so much!
Kimberly was very communicative and helped me out on a last minute request. She made sure to share photos and updates — it looked like Atlas our dog had loads of fun running around her yard. Will definitely use her services again if I'm in the area!
Kimberly watched our sweet Havanese so we were able to go to dinner and a sailing experience during our Newport visit. She made us very comfortable leaving her because of her clear communication and understanding of our concern for our pet's safety and happiness. Thank you Kimberly.
Amazing first time experience using Rover. We had an emergency and needed to book fast. Kimberly was very informative and flexible with our booking. Definitely will be using Kimberly again!
We frequently visit Newport and we were so fortunate to have found Kimberly so we could enjoy a nice day downtown. She provided great updates throughout the day and took great care of our furry baby. Toby also had so much fun playing with his other furry friends! We highly recommend Kimberly, we will definitely be using her services next time we're in town!
Kimberly was great with our 1 year old dog, Ozzi! We love personalized touches and Kimberly was nothing short of that. She sent us plenty of photos throughout Ozzi's stay, provided a breakdown list of bathroom breaks and snack time and even took the time to slide in a surprise note thanking us for letting Ozzi stay with her for the day! We would definitely recommend her and plan on utilizing her services for years to come!
When in Newport, we always trust Kimberly to watch our pup. She's got a big fenced in yard and is easy to communicate with- she takes such good care!
So helpful and nice! Sent great updates for our senior dog throughout his stay.
Kimberly watched our cat over a holiday weekend. She was professional and very easy to work with. We received lots of photos during her visits and she played with our energetic and playful cat. I highly recommend using Kimberly!
Our first Rover experience was a success! Kimberly set me at ease and assured me our dog would be taken care of and that she was prepared to work with our dog and his little quirks that can make care sometimes difficult. Knowing he was in good hands gave us the freedom to explore the beautiful parts of the area that aren't so dog friendly. She sent us photos and updates and really helped us make the most of our trip. Highly recommend her and if we're ever back in the area with our dog, we would request her services again.
Very pleased with choosing Kimberly to care for our 3 year old fur baby. This was our first time away from Charlie so we were very nervous. Kimberly shared with us daily pictures and videos of our sweet boy getting along with his new 'friends'. Will definitely choose Kimberly again when Charlie needs to be cared for!
Kimberly was absolutely the right choice for our situation. We're on vacation from out of state and just wanted one day where we could do things that we can't do when we have a dog with us. I used Rover to find someone who would be willing to keep Cocoa for just one day without having to go through an until meet n greet and made a request for later in the week and to my delight Kimberly accepted with no problems! We got our dog-free day and Cocoa got to spend the day playing with other dogs, which I admit he doesn't get to do too often. Kimberly was great to work with and genuinely seemed to like Cocoa. If we are ever back in the area and in a similar situation, we will definitely reach out to Kimberly again if we are in need of dog-sitting. Thank you to Kimberly for the wonderful care and to Rover for the hookup!
Kimberly was accommodating to our needs. Our pet Pongo had a wonderful time with other pets. Kimberly provided pictures and updates while caring for our pet. We will definitely choose her again while we are in RI.
Outstanding care
Kimberly provided excellent dog sitting service! I was able to book her with only one day notice and Kimberly welcomed my dog into her home. My 2 year old poodle loved it, she had fun playing with the other dogs, and Kimberly even took her for a walk. I will definitely use Kimberly again for all my dog sitting needs!
We had a wonderful first (of hopefully many) days with Kimberly. My little guy's energy is sometimes too much for large dog daycare settings, but he happily played all day long with Kimberly. She kept in touch throughout the day to give me peace of mind that he was settling in OK. Such a relief to have such a fun, convenient, friendly place for my dog!
Luna was happy and exhausted when we picked her up... Exactly what we were looking for! We will definitely book Kimberly again.
This was Leo's first time being left with anyone other than family. Kimberly was great. She kept him all day, gave him lots of love and playtime. He came back tired and happy. Also excellent communication over the course of the day.
Kimberly is a outstanding dog sitter who took all my worries away while traveling for the first time without my pups! She messaged daily and shared so many photos. Extremely accommodating and you can tell she truly loves every animal she takes care of. Will always hire her for our dog sitting needs! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
Kimberly was wonderful and both of my puppies were happy at the end of the day!
Mickey had a great time and absolutely loved his time with Kim!
I brought my pup to daycare with Kimberly for the first time yesterday, and I can tell he had a great time. He came home super happy and tired. Kimberly was so friendly and eased my concerns about starting my dog at a new place. She sent plenty of pictures and made it a very positive, welcoming experience. We are looking forward to continuing visits with her in the future!
Such a wonderful experience! Kimberly was responsive, friendly, helpful, and welcoming and our pup clearly loved his time with her. He came home happy and exhausted from a fun day of play. We will definitely be seeing Kimberly again soon!
Kimberly was a godsend. She's as good as they come, I think. My husband and I were in town for a few days with friends and realized we needed to place our little pup into daycare for a few hours. Not only was Kimberly accommodating in such short notice, she was also prompt, friendly, kind and generous. I know Leia, my puppy, was in good hands because she was SUPER excited to go back to Kimberly's place and was crying slightly when we left! I would recommend Kimberly especially since she seems to have a great space and enclosed fence to play in. I also appreciate the photos she sent during the stay.
Teddy had a great time with Kimberly! She was awesome!
Kim was wonderful with my pup! I can tell he was well loved!!
My dogs, Blu and Finn, have been staying with Kimberly over the last two years, and I can honestly say, she is a great substitute for me! They are happy when they get dropped off, and they are sad to leave when I pick them up! And that's a good sign! Kimberly has a great house with a great fenced in backyard, conducive for doggy day care and making sure that my dogs are safe. Kimberly sends photos of my dogs during the day, and if I ever had a reason to get in touch with her, she responds very quickly. I would not hesitate to recommend Kimberly for caring for your pup!
We are so lucky to have found Kimberly. She was an amazing help after a last minute emergency that required 2 nights of dog sitting for our Australian Shepherd. It seems like there are always a good group of other dogs at her house which our dog definitely loved playing with based on the pictures that she sent. We really appreciated her daily photos and updates. Highly recommend her services!
Kimberly clearly cares for your dog as if they were her own. Great set up and so much playtime with other dogs. Judging from the many pictures sent every day, Willa had a blast there. I'd trust Kimberly with Willa anytime!
Our pup had so much fun staying with Kimberly! Great communication, lots of photos; it was our first time leaving our puppy but Kimberly helped me feel completely comfortable because I knew he was well taken care of. We plan to use Kimberly anytime we need to board our pup.
Great place for dogs to socialize and incredibly flexible and kind!! Able to drop them off early when my wife went into labor and I never had to worry about them! Will use again!!
Great experience! She sent lots of photos and my dog came home happy. Will definitely use her services again!
Kimberly was great — constantly sent us updates on our 2 pups. They all looked like they had a wonderful time being outside with other friends having their own vacation while we were away. Would book again in a heartbeat. Sprinkles and Salty must miss all the attention now that they're home. Thank you Kim.
Kim was great with my pups when she dropped in for a check in. Took lots of pictures and played with them while we were gone, will use her again!
We are so lucky to have Kim for our fur babies!!!! The absolute best!!!!!
Kimberly is awesome! She loves my puppers and they cannot wait to go to her house! She's flexible and very accommodating. Highly recommend her!
The home is well set up to care for multiple dogs. Loads of room for dogs to play and get exercise. I especially liked that there were two yards. I believe that is because Kim tries to coordinate compatibility among the dogs for the best match for play considering the individual dog's temperament. Very well thought out. Both yards are fenced for safety. It is hard to mask a dog's true feeling when around people. It was easy to see by all the pictures I got just how happy Penelope was to be with Kim and all the puppy playmates. It was very reassuring for me to know Penelope was in good hands. Kim has a warm nature and it is easy to see how well she communicates love to every dog she cares for. I was so glad to have found her. She keeps the dogs active — loads of playtime, very attentive to meal instructions you give her, and is sensitive to each dog's needs and their comfort level. So important. Thank you Kim and to your hubby and Mom for taking such good care of Penelope.
My dog's stay with Kimberly was only his second time away from home and I have to say that I am already planning on my next trip or even play day. Within the first hour I already had pics of him enjoying his time and over the next two days I received more on a frequent basis. My only worry ended up being my concern that he would not want to come home. In addition to my dog having a great time, Kimberly was incredibly responsive and reached out to verify small details (even if he could sleep in the bed). Both my dog and myself are looking forward to the next opportunity to use Kimberly again.
Kimberly was an excellent dog sitter for the evening! Our dog Franklin looked so happy in the pictures she sent us and was in a good mood all day the next day. We would definitely use Kimberly again!
She took care of my dog for 12 days and allowed us to enjoy our vacation away. Nice fenced yard, home, and person. Would recommend and use again.
Kimberly was a new sitter to our family, which always makes me a bit nervous (as I'm a crazy cat lady). She was immediately cozy with our dog and cats, so I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. Kimberly sent photos every day, which was really nice to see. Upon our return, the animals were all good, and our house was spotless. I will definitely contact Kimberly whenever we need a house and pet sitter!
Kimberly was amazing! I got so many pictures while I was away and it looked like my dog was having an awesome time! I would definitely book with her again!!!!
Kimberly was amazing. My pup was so happy playing with the dogs at her house. I felt very safe with her watching my little furry boy. If we are ever in Newport again, I will definitely be calling Kim!
Kimberly was awesome with our pup, Harper. This was the first time we left her for a week and were understandably anxious about how she would do. Harper had the best vacation ever! Kimberly sent regular updates and pictures of Harper having a great time. She got lots of exercise, love and attention. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend Kimberly for any boarding/doggy day care needs.
Kimberly was so great to Pippin! He has been nervous around strangers and he went right up to her and forgot about his parents lol! When we came to pick him up he didn't want to leave! She was great with updates and pictures, and clearing up any questions before hand. Will definitely use her again when in Newport!
Kimberly is the absolute best. My dog loves her. She is responsive and reliable and puts up with my irrational schedule.
Kimberly was great — Chester was happy to meet her and looked to have had a great time while he spent the afternoon with her. Communication was quick, easy and direct and a very good vibe — was glad to have met and if the occasion arises again I wouldn't hesitate to give a shout for future visits.
Kimberly is awesome. I feel so grateful for having found her. She visits Riley while I'm at work and has watched him when I have been away. You couldn't ask for anyone better for your dog.
Our pup is always so happy for dog day care! Kimberly really does take care of the pups like her own!
Wonderful experience with Kimberly! She was an excellent host for Bailey this previous weekend. He was so excited to have time to play with other puppies too during his stay. Kimberly kept me updated with lots of photos!
Kimberly was awesome!! We were in a last minute pinch to find a petsitter for our two cats and she was happy to take on the job. Her response time was excellent, she was communicative with her visits, and she sent us pictures every time. This was our first experience using Kimberly and we definitely plan on using her for the future!
Super responsive. Lots of pictures.
We had an excellent experience with Kimberly! It was our first time leaving our 11 month puppy and Kimberly made us feel so comfortable. She sent pictures of our puppy walking, playing with other dogs and napping. It was clear from the photos she was having a great time! Kimberly was so flexible — our flight got delayed and Kimberly was able to watch our puppy for an extra night. The whole process was seamless. I definitely recommend Kimberly to others and will be using her again in the future!
Kimberly was available to watch Byron for the day on very short notice and he had such a good time playing with other dogs in her large fenced in yard. Would highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again!
Kimberly was amazing! We left our golden retriever with her for two nights. It was our first time boarding her and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Kimberly regularly sent pictures and updates and our dog looked happy and comfortable the whole time. She even got to go on a trip to the beach. I would definitely recommend Kimberly if you are looking for a place to watch your dog!
