Introduction: Happy pets, Happy clients!
It's A Dog's Life Pet Services provides dog walking service, horse and farm animal care, in-home pet sitting and pet taxi service to area pet owners.
For dog walking, dogs are taken on a 30, 45 or 60-minute walk, depending on your preference.
As for pet sitting, we will feed, give fresh water, administer medication if needed, scoop litter boxes, and love each pet like they're our own! Plus, we will provide home services such as rotating lights/curtains to make it look like someone is home, bring in mail, bring garbage and recycling to the curb, and water plants.
We send daily text updates and pictures or leave Daily Pet Notes for pet sitting visits, whichever you prefer!
All pets are very special to us. We take the time to get to know each one. It is our main goal to make each pet visit an enjoyable experience for your fur babies. We enjoy their company, and we LOVE to make them happy!

Kim was excellent in visiting my two dogs twice per day. She is the first Dogsitter I’ve had that I felt confident and could relax on my vacation. Best dogsitter experience I’ve had.
Details: Dog • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Providing companionship • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

When it comes to your pets, you want the very best. Which is why I am so thankful I found Kim and It's a Dog's Life Pet Services. They have been walking our dogs for years and I can't begin to express my gratitude for their dependability and tenderness with our dogs. There is such a sense of relief that comes with knowing that your dogs are in good hands while youre at work! Kim even leaves notes about the events of the day, which is a fun addition.I truly can't recommend It's a Dog's Life enough! We are SO lucky to have found them.

Kim was very conscientious about providing care to my horses and chickens. She spent time with them in addition to providing care, including grooming and bonding. My Chicks were young and she spent a lot of time with them. She called me with any questions and kept me posted daily. I would not hesitate to recommend her for caring for your animals. She is so flexible and my animals trusted her and I know I can trust her.
Details: Other outdoor animal • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Standard visit (60 minutes) • Once a day • My home, venue, etc.

We have been fortunate to find Kim with It’s a Dog’s Life Pet Services. We have worked with her for many years. She makes it a point to get to know your pet and provides care based on their specific needs. For example, our current rescue pup doesn’t enjoy going for walks, but our other fur kid does. Kim spends time with each, taking the outgoing pup for a quick jaunt while giving the other time in the back yard with lots of attention. Kim is extremely dependable. She provides a quick note regarding each visit. If there are any significant concerns noted, she contacts me immediately via text, phone or e-mail. Bottom line, I know my furry babies are well cared for with Kim’s service.
