About: I am a dog mom to 3 medium sized babies, of various ages. All three are rescues with their own personalities, including various levels of energy and needs. I have several years of rescue experience, as well as several additional years as a dog owner. I am experienced with medication administration and dietary needs. I’ve worked with dogs as young as 8 weeks and as old as 15 years+. I have experience in obedience and behavioral training, and am able to services social and human-forward dogs. I have experience in proving senior/hospice fostering/adoption. Most importantly, I love dogs. I think each one is precious and special, and deserves treatment tailored to their needs. I have three dogs of my own that I care for daily with my family. This includes daily care and weekly walks/play time, as well as enrichment. I work 5 days a week, Monday thru Friday, and can only provide daily check-ins and walking within a 20 minutes radius, after 5:00pm. I can provide overnights on weekends, starting Friday after 5:00pm through Monday morning before 7:00am. I utilize an individual strategy for every individual dog. I prepare enrichment activities, with awareness of allergies and preference, and provide walks and activity as needed by the individual dog. If I am doing check-ins or overnights, I am a strong communicator.

About: I've taken care of dogs since for many years. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I also trained my parents dogs and my siberian husky. I enjoy taking care of your animals while you go on vacation or need someone to watch them for a day. I will make sure they get the attention while you're gone. I will also send you photos of your fur babies while you're having fun on your vacation. I know it can be quite nerve wracking to let someone else look after your pets, when they become family to you. I am always willing to do meet and greets prior to the time you need me, to make you and your animals feel more comfortable.

“Kiara was AMAZING! Her pup Wednesday and my dog got along great. I knew my dog was in great hands with her as she is such a dog lover. My dog also needed to take medication everyday and Kiara got her to take it easy!”


“Lucilla was a pleasure to work with. She was flexible and courteous with us, but more importantly she made our nervous and strong-willed dogs feel at ease. She has a calm confidence that dogs will really align with. We look forward to using her to care for our fur babies in the future and would highly recommend her.”
