As a dedicated mom to a 3 year old daughter and someone who recently experienced the loss of my cherished dog, Phoenix, I truly understand the balance of managing both family and pet care. My daily routine is thoughtfully organized to accommodate the needs of both my child and the pets I care for, ensuring that each receives the attention and care they deserve. My experience as a mother has taught me the importance of flexibility, empathy, and attentiveness—qualities I bring into my pet care routine. I carefully structure my schedule to seamlessly integrate walks and pet care with my family commitments. I am available for dog walks and pet care every day of the week, from Monday to Sunday. I’m happy to adjust timing and activities to match your pet’s needs, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My role as a mom has deepened my understanding of unconditional love and nurturing, which I extend to your pets. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities, and I look forward to providing them with the same loving care I give to my own family.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, I pay utmost attention to creating a safe and trusting environment. Before any care begins, I conduct a thorough assessment of the space to identify and address any potential hazards. I familiarize myself with your pet's routine, ensuring a seamless transition in their daily activities. Open communication and trust are key, and I make it a priority to maintain clear and consistent communication with you, keeping you informed of your pet's well-being, activities, and any concerns. Building a strong bond and trust with your pets is fundamental to my approach. I invest time in getting to know your pet's unique personality, preferences, and individual needs. This allows me to tailor the care, ensuring they are comfortable and at ease during our time together. I use positive reinforcement techniques, gentle encouragement, and a calm demeanor to create a trusting relationship with your pet. Safety is non-negotiable. I adhere to safety protocols rigorously to minimize risks and create a secure environment. Additionally, I ensure that all gates, locks, and leashes are secure during walks, providing an extra layer of safety for your pets. A comfortable environment is also essential for your pet's well-being. I pay careful attention to the temperature, lighting, and overall comfort of the space. Cozy bedding, ample toys, and stimulating activities are incorporated to make your pet remain comfortable at home while you're gone, promoting a sense of security and relaxation.
Information Kiana W. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences and am more than willing to care for dogs of all sizes. To ensure the best care for your pet, I'd appreciate knowing any medical issues, their favorite activities, daily routines, and their comfort level around other dogs before our initial meeting.
A typical day
When it comes to caring for your furry companion, ensuring they have a joyful and stimulating experience is my priority. I'm dedicated to creating a personalized adventure that caters to your dog's unique preferences and pace. On our walks, we can explore nearby parks, nature trails, or stroll through your neighborhood—whichever environment your dog finds most exciting. I'll make sure your pup can revel in the sights, smells, and sounds of nature. I understand that each dog has their own rhythm, especially when it comes to potty breaks and energy levels. Whether they're raring to go or prefer a more leisurely pace, I'll adapt to their needs. Patience is key, and I'm more than willing to wait for them to feel comfortable and ready. In addition to walks, playtime is essential for a happy dog. Whether it's a spirited game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply some quality belly rubs, I'm here to engage and keep their tails wagging. If allowed by you, I'm more than happy to provide treats or a meal and ensure they're well-fed and satisfied. Maintaining cleanliness is important to me as well. I clean my own dogs' paws after every outing to prevent tracking mud or dirt into the home, and I'm open to doing the same for your dog. A clean and tidy living space is conducive to a happy and healthy environment for both the pets and their owners. Your dog's comfort and happiness are paramount, and I'm committed to providing a safe, loving, and enjoyable time during our walks and visits.

Caring Pet Enthusiast & Walker
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Kiana, and I'm a 30 year old pet lover with a 3 year old daughter. After recently losing my beloved Shiba Inu, Phoenix, on July 20, 2024, I’ve felt the absence of my furry friend deeply. However, I am excited to return to dog walking and reconnect with the wonderful dogs and their owners I’ve missed so much. Growing up surrounded by a variety of pets, including rabbits, fish, dogs, cats, and birds, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for animals. My previous dog, Cocoa, a Shih Tzu, lived a joyful 14 years, and I cared for two parakeets, Aqua and Flora, until we lost them after Hurricane Sandy. Phoenix was a cherished part of our family, and her memory inspires me to continue providing exceptional care for pets. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a range of dogs from lively puppies to gentle seniors. Each pet is unique, and I treat every one as if they were a part of my own family, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. I’m happy to send photos and videos of your pets to keep you updated while you’re away. With a flexible schedule, I am available for walks and drop-ins within a reasonable radius from home. My approach is positive, energetic, and attentive, making sure your pet is safe and well-cared-for. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves pets and is eager to build new connections, please reach out. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your furry friends and reconnect with the wonderful pet community. Thank you!

Kiana is the best walker we ever had for Stella. She was on top of everything with quick communication. I will continue to re-book her for future walks and highly recommend!
