**When I care for your pet, they are covered by my personal sitter's insurance, as well as the Rover guarantee. ** I do require one complementary meet and greet (15-30 mins) before the booking. During the meet and greet I will always make sure to ask about your pets' schedule, what their needs are, what behaviors they usually display, and how to best support them in any environment. My number one priority is making sure your pet is safe. ⛑️ I took an online course through red cross and have a certificate on first aid for cats and dogs
Information Kaira L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pets have any special needs or wants. I want to know what comforts them, what their favorite toys are, if they take any medication, where they love to walk, anything that can be helpful to me, so I can give your pets the best care possible 🐾 **For house sitting and drop ins, I send an intake form to make sure I cover any and all questions that may be needed.**
A typical day
🐱🐶 For drop ins, I love to play with any toys your pet may have, to give them the stimulation they need. I would also make sure to give them lots of pets and attention. 🏠 For house sitting, I will be providing overnight care and will try and do drop ins throughout the day (based on my schedule for the day). I usually will not be gone from your home more then 5-6 hours at a time (total hours gone a day is usually 8-11ish hours). I always clean up after myself and make sure to leave the place tidy and clean. *I am unable to provide constant care* 🐕🦺 On walks, I am making sure your pet has plenty of time to smell everything and get a lot of exercise. I am going to update you throughout the visit/walk with cute photos and important information. ** For constant care just during the day (not house sitting) I charge an hourly rate of $20***

Pet care experience
I grew up surrounded by pets (dogs, cats, birds, rats, mice, frogs) throughout my childhood and I was very active with their care. I currently have my own dog (Rossy; a hound Chihuahua mix) who loves walks and can be very high energy when he wants too, even though he is 13! I also have two cats; Rain and Coral who I love dearly! Rain has the classic tortie-tude and Coral is a big lovebug who loves showing off her belly. I am a huge animal lover and have been obsessed with caring for them since I was in elementary school. I have now been providing pet care fulltime for two years. I have gained valuable experiences and have worked with a variety of dogs and cats! ✨Get to know me✨ • My name is pronounced Ky-ra. • I am originally from Colorado. But I have lived in five other states and one other country. • I have a bachelor's in criminal justice and sociology. • I am happily engaged with my partner of 6 years. • In my free time I love to read, be in nature and go to new events/festivals. • Before I was a full-time pet sitter I used to work with children. • I do about 20,000 to 30,000 steps a day on average as a pet sitter.

Reviews
Kaira is an amazing dog walker! She takes such good care of my pup when I’m in the office. Can’t recommend her enough.
Kaira is an amazing sitter! I always feel confident leaving my cats with her checking in on them.
I really appreciate that Kaira doesnt just drop in, but engages and plays with my kitty. Hes an old man, and each visit Kaira gets him up and playing!
Kaira is an incredible cat sitter. She went above and beyond to take care of our cat when we were out of the country, even taking him to the animal hospital for us when he had a health scare. Could not recommend her enough.
