I've been using Home is Where the Hound is for a few years and it's so nice to be able to take a vacation and feel comfortable knowing that my Pima (cat) is being well taken care of. I get daily updates as well as pictures! My cat knows and loves Kimberly, Summer and Carl (and others), and we trust them in our home. Everyone at this company are great animal lovers and it shows!! read more

Home Is Where The Hound Is - Pet Sitting Near Me

It's difficult to find a good dog sitter when you are new to town and there aren't many options. Hey Maricopa, Home Is Where The Hound Is should be your #1 go to for dog care. Kimberly was wonderful with our 2 little senior dogs. One of our dogs has to be given medication every 12 hours and we wanted overnight care. Kimberly took care of them like they were her own. She sent us the cutest pictures of them every day and let me know that they were eating just fine. We had not been on vacation in 2 years as we could not find someone who was reliable that we could trust. We've already reserved Home is Where the Hound Is, for our next trip. Thank you Kimberly! read more

See all

We have used this service twice, for our two dogs and cat. When we have a friend check on them while we are away, stuff is destroyed and the animals are restless when we get home. When we have Kim and her people (who I found here on Yelp) check on our animals, they are happy and healthy and our stuff isn't ripped to shreds. One of my dogs is deaf, and the other has some "emotional baggage" from her previous owners, so we are quickly learning that a service like this is crucial in planning our trips. If you have special needs animals, you can trust these people. Yelp is still telling me to write more, so allow me to sing to you the song of my people... I seriously have nothing else. The price is reasonable? They give treats? read more

Best loving caring lady ever. We feel totally confident with this service. The photos sent to us daily were great.

We have used this service for 9 years and highly recommend them. They have plans that fit any "fur babies" needs. We have them come in twice a day to check on our babies, feed them and give them attention. We have a nicer vacation knowing that Kimberly and her crew are taking care of our family...also they do the extra little things, bringing in the paper, turning lights on and off in different locations. They are worth every cent we pay them, we get it back 10 fold in peace of mind. Our two dogs love having Kimberly come in to check on them... and the email photo's she sends are funny and wonderful read more

If there were 5 more stars, Home Is Where the Hound Is would get all 10!!!! I was just impressed from the minute Kimberly came to meet my two dogs before they would need to be watched by her. You can tell that Kimberly is a pet lover, not just a business woman. You can tell she honestly cares about the pets she watches, not just the money she makes by doing so. Kimberly and her staff will make sure your pets are taken care of to your specifications. And the best part is, they get to stay in the comfort of their own home and yard. I trust Kimberly and her staff (as they are licensed and bonded) in my home with no question and with the care of my little furry angels. You can always know that when you are gone, HIWTHI will take care of your pets as if they were their own! They will be happy to provide you with updates (pictures included) for those that worry about their pets when they are away. And, when you come home, there is a cute personalized welcome home card and treats for the pets. Seriously, I can't think of a more professional yet friendly, honest and dedicated company as HIWTHI. If you need a pet sitter....you can trust Home Is Where the Hound Is! (Oh, and HIWTHI/Kimberly goes above and beyond just feeding and walking your dogs, they offer so many other services; most of which are included in the price!) read more

My wife and I had never left our dogs with anyone besides our family. We have known Kimberly (owner) for many years but had not used her services until this past weekend. I would not use anyone else again when needing a pet sitter. She treats your pets like family and not once did we worry. We got an awesome little photo update and card with treats when we arrived home. If you ever need a pet sitter in Maricopa this is the premier business to use! read more

Home Is Where The Hound Is - Best pet sitter hands down ! - Pet Sitting Near Me

I highly recommend Home is where the Hound is to anyone who loves their fur babies. I went away for three days and on day one received a picture of my babies this assured me that someone had stopped in to see my girls and they looked very happy. When I arrived home from my trip on the kitchen table was a welcome home card from my girls for me and a bag of treats for my fur babies. What a relief it was to know someone took such great care of my precious girls, amazing!!!! They both looked happy and well taken care of in my absence. I will definitely use their services again!!!!! read more

I can't say enough good things about Kim and the service she provides. We have a dog and a cat...one is elderly and the other has special needs. She's always available when I need her, and I trust her entirely with them and our home. She even texted me a picture of them to ease my worried mind. So, if you're looking for peace of mind while you're away, give her a call. Denise Z. Maricopa, AZ read more

Absolutely the best pet sitter! She was so wonderful with our pups and she sent daily updates and pictures. It was so relaxing to be able to enjoy my trip and not have any worries. Rates are really reasonable and services are professional and they really go above and beyond. I will definitely be working with them again! read more

Kim is always wonderful with our pets. We have adopted two pets through her since we have moved to Arizona, and she is so great with animals. The pet services area great relief as not only are the pets checked and given food and water, they are given personal attention and love which is a very important thing to know. The welcome home cards with pictures of your pet is also a very nice and warm touch and it is always nice to know the pets are in good hands when we are away. read more

Kimberly is absolutely amazing. We were gone for a week and she took care of "our boys" (two cats). She could hardly get through my front door because one of our boys was already trying to climb up on her and play with her when she came over to meet them. She is truly an animal person and it shows. She took such wonderful care of our guys and even left a little gift for them and a card when we got home. I will never use anyone else as long as Kimberly is there to take care of us. This was the best thing that we could have done for our vacation because it gave us peace of mind while we were out of the state and knew that our boys were very well taken care of. Thank you so much Kimberly! read more

I was so happy to get our sweet Toby from Kimberly! I had contacted about 6 other rescues for dogs available with no responses! Kimberly got back to me right away. When she brought the dog to our home, she was helpful, understanding and informative. She lent us items we needed until we got our own. She was organized with the paperwork, shots and delivery. Easy to work with...Loved Kimberly. read more

My husband and I interviewed Kimberly (owner), along with other local Maricopa petsitters, in early 2007, shortly after bringing home our first Boxer, Rocco. We were nervous first time pooch parents and wanted to ensure that he would be well cared for in our absence. We don't have children and our dogs are our everything. We are "those" pet owners. We now have three Boxers. They sleep in our bed with us and they are the absolute loves of our lives. There is no better replacement for us when we're away than Kimberly and her staff. They sleep in our bed with our pooches. They play outside with them, walk them, snuggle up with them while watching a movie on the sofa, and let the pooches smother them in slobberly kisses, as Boxers do. We never worry for a second about the care that they receive. We very highly recommend Home Is Where The Hound Is. Thank you, Kimberly and staff! read more
