Foster/Rescue Dog Mom here!

I've always had a passion for animals since I was very little. I was never able to have them of my own growing up because my dad was highly allergic. Once I graduated high school I moved out and rescued my first dog from a backyard breeder. He was a Pit-bull mix. 4 months later I rescued my golden saint from a hoarding situation which ended up in all of her animals getting taken away. I realized I wanted to help save more animals so I ended up becoming a foster mom. My first foster was a 7 year old Rottweiler named Sabrina. I only had her a short 3 months before I was told she had a stomach tumor that was not curable. I unfortunately made the decision to get her cremated and the last words I said to her was " I promise I will save as many animals like you as I possibly can." I kept that promise to her after 8 years already and plan to for many many more! Fast forward to today, i suddenly lost my soul dog in January 2026 but still have my golden saint and a Catahoula Leopard dog. He was my first foster fail 6 years ago. I wanted to extend my experience even more so now I pet sit/dog walk as well! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, aggressive dogs as well as dogs with high anxiety I have taken care of all sorts of animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, snakes, miniature pigs, and of course cats and dogs! I treat every animal like my own and I guarantee I will become their best friend! My goal is to eventually own a building and name it in Sabrina's memory:)

Ciara did a wonderful job communicating with me and being flexible! She was so sweet and I could tell she loves dogs. Vinny was well cared for while we’re on vacation and I would recommend her to friends.

Ciara was absolutely wonderful! She was patient, professional, kind, and an excellent communicator from beginning to end. She kept me updated throughout my dogs’ stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. My younger dog can be a bit of a handful and takes time to warm up to new people, but Ciara handled him with incredible patience and understanding. It was obvious she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after and has a natural gift with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better first boarding experience, and I would happily book with her again. I highly recommend Ciara to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable to care for their pets!
