Cici Memorial Dog Hotel

I’ve been a dog person my whole life and this past July I said goodbye to my soul dog of 14 years. It's in her memory that I have space to treat your dog like royalty... just the way Queen Cici Pup demanded. I have an almost fully fenced-in yard and my neighbors don’t have dogs. I will customize my schedule to best fit your dog's needs, ranging from long walks & playtime, to chill naps & snuggles. I’m a super communicator and believe animals are people. Can’t wait to meet your doggo! 🐶

Doggy Day Care • Sep 13, 2026

Kayla was amazing from start to finish. Drew has an injury & I checked that Kayla was Ok with taking care of him before I booked the stay. She is so kind and I felt completely confident leaving him with her. He had a great stay and I hope this is the first of many visits!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 05, 2026

Kayla was amazing. She was able to accommodate us in such short notice after our dog sitter cancelled. She took great care of Kobe, sending updates and pictures. Kobe really enjoyed his time with Kayla.

Kayla is an excellent and trustworthy pet sitter. She is reliable and thorough. She does well with my very shy and anxious dog, who is a constant flight risk. It is so nice not having to worry about him when I’m not there. She provides updates and is always responsive, and you can tell how much she genuinely loves animals. I recommend her highly.

Kayla has the unique ability to make her fur-friends incredibly comfortable and loved. Dogs have been a big part of her life. She is so patient and I have no doubt that any dog she has in her care will love all of the attention Kayla has to give.

Kayla takes far better care of my dog than I do (and I take good care of him!!!). She took him on long walks, sent daily updates, and asked all the right questions about his preferences and habits. It's so clear how much love and joy she has for animals and we felt so lucky that our dog was in such good hangs while we were away. Book with her!!!

Schedule

I work from home, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time to give your pup attention between meetings and emails. I work in social media, so you are guaranteed to receive Instagram-worthy photo pupdates. I’m a super active person who loves long northside walk. I’m available for walks in the early mornings, lunchtime visits, and late evenings.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is set up really well for dogs, with the aforementioned backyard + a covered deck for relaxing outside. I’m on a quiet street in East Allegheny. My apartment is on the second floor of a house, so there are stairs to get in and two steps inside the apartment as well.

A typical day

We start with an early morning walk and settle into the workday, with easy access to the yard and many comfy spots for naps. I usually head to the yoga studio in the evening, followed by one final walk before bedtime 🥰

I’d love to know all the little things! How much do they like to walk? Are they nervous around loud noises? We have fireworks and helicopters in the northside. Do they love to snuggle? Do they want to play all day or happily lounge around? Are they curious? Tell me about their appetite, favorite treats and toys, and anything else you’d like me to know! ALSO what vegetables do they love? Cici was obsessed with them, so every dog gets them (if they want) in her honor 🥕🥦🐾🥹
