Pup in Paradise
Introduction
My name is Kim and I am a travel nurse and mom of four grown kids. When I am not working I travel with my kids to various places or just to visit them. I have one older dog who is most comfortable at home and sometimes leaving her at home with a sitter is less traumatic for her than boarding her. She recently, last November, lost her best life long friend who had very bad hip dysplasia. She is a loving friendly dog and I just don't want her to be lonely while I'm away. She is fine being left alone for several hours though. I have a large fenced in back yard, a lovely home in a lake neighborhood with a hot tub and garden. She loves walks and exploring new places.

Modest home in a neighborhood walking distance to a big lake with many things to do nearby. I have a large fenced in back yard with a beautiful garden and hot tub. My home has 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. The house has strong fast internet and chromecast on the TV. The neighborhood has a pool, tennis courts, playground and boat ramp. My home is 1 hour 30 mins to Blowing Rock and 2 hours to Asheville. Great day trips!

My expectation of a sitter is to walk, feed and love my pups, respect my home, i.e keep it tidy and enjoy your time in this beautiful area.

Kim was amazing with her communication and instructions. She was easily accessible during her trip and we felt very confident and comfortable in offering care for Ginger. Ginger is the sweetest. She is quiet and super content just being near you— wherever you are. Sleeping on the floor near you. She loves to follow where you go,and since she gets out of breath going upstairs, we tried to limit our trips up there through the day simply to save her joints and efforts. Ginger is easy to walk.. but likes to keep them short. She does respond with enthusiastic “come on Ginger!” To help her get a little more exercise . We would absolutely sit for Ginger again! We had the best time with her!

An easy sit. Ginger is a sweetheart. She loves to relax and just be. Takes her medicine like a champion. The house is comfortable with everything you could need, and the backyard and patio are heaven! So peaceful. House is a easy one block walk from Lake Norman. Recommend this sit.

What a lovely easter weekend sit we had with the incredibly sweet Lady Ginger. She truly is a darling who enjoys company, and always has a waggy tail. We enjoyed garden time (wow Kim has a gorgeous garden) and a little walk. Ginger was a little under the weather with Bronchitis while we were there but she took her meds super easy. Kim's home is clean, beautiful, and spacious and in a lovely neighborhood. Kim and Alan made us feel welcome, stayed in touch, and were kind enough to let us make a quick return trip to pick up a forgotten item! Thank you both. Highly recommend this sit!

Kim was very easy to communicate with and Ginger is a complete sweetheart. There's a really nice trail to walk nearby and a beautiful backyard area to hang out in together.

Koda and Ginger were very sweet dogs that are very calm. The house was very nice as well and had everything you need for a comfortable stay! Thanks Kim for allowing me to look after Koda and Ginger!

Fabrizio and Catherine were wonderful 💕. They took excellent care of my older pups and sent updates with photos regularly. When I arrived home, my house was tidy, and pups seemed happy. I would definitely recommend them anytime as pups/house sitters.
