Ciera was so great with Charlie! She was super communicative, flexible with my schedule, and kept me updated with pics and messages throughout his stay. Would highly recommend her to watch your pup!

Dog Walking • Sep 18, 2026

Ciera was so patient and kind with our dog Luna. Luna is quiet old and Ciera did an excellent job taking her on walks even though she is so slow :) thank you so much Ciera and we can't wait to have you walk Luna again if you have the time!

Ciera was great! She was able to accommodate a last minute boarding request, communicated well, shared regular updates and pictures, and reached out with questions. I highly recommend!

Ciera is such a kind, caring, and considerate person. She dog sat for my roommate and I and did an excellent job. She has grown up with dogs her whole life and did an excellent job caring for our Golden Retriever. Our dog was very well cared for receiving food and treats at the proper times and getting lots of good walks, exercise, and play. While we were training our dog Ciera also worked to encourage the same good habits and training we were working on. Any pet cared for would be in good hands to receive lots of petting, play, and care by Ciera.

Ciera was great with my puppy! I was out of town for a week and she watched Cosmo and sent pictures on their walks! She was very responsive, great with her, and Cosmo loves her!

Ciera is one of the most dependable and caring pet sitters I could have ever asked for. I have been sending my dog, Gia (a beagle), to her for the past few months, and it has been great. Unlike with other sitters, Gia is always super excited when we round the corner to drop her off, and she is even sad to leave at times. There was one instance where, after I ran late returning from a work trip, I texted Ciera last minute. Within seconds she replied and was more than willing to go immediately to my house to check on Gia. There are not many people in this world whom I would trust with such a beloved member of our family; Ciera is one of them.

Schedule

I am a new resident in Chicago very much missing my family and friends dogs back home. I work remotely, so I’m available for walks or drop-in visits most days of the week and sometimes on the weekends. My availability is usually updated on the calendar to reflect any weekends where I’m out of town or have full day commitments. Outside of those circumstances, I’m also available to board in my own apartment.

Safety, trust & environment

I work remotely, so I’ll be home most of the day during the week to cuddle and play with your pup. On the weekends, I’m a bit more in and out, but I’ll adjust my schedule accordingly to be able to take them out at least 3 times per day or take them with me on adventures where possible! I do live on the third floor, so they’ll need to be okay with stairs or small enough to carry. I sadly don’t have any pets of my own, but that means no need to worry about interactions with other pets inside the home.

A typical day

I live in an apartment and unfortunately don’t have a yard, but we live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of pups. I’ll be glad to have some company on my morning and evening walks. We can even make some trips to the nearby parks! At home, we’ll play with their favorite toys and get lots of good snuggles.

Let me know if your dog has any particular preferences or rituals so I can keep those up to make them feel more comfortable. If you’re currently training, let me know what commands you’re using so I can keep that going. I also like to know their usual sleeping situation — are they crate trained or do they have a bed? Do they have a favorite toy they usually sleep with?
