Availability
I am a nursing student. I take my studies very seriously but that being said, I’m a home body. If I’m not in class Im hanging out on the couch studying or taking my own pup for walks at the park. My school hours are typically 2-4 hours at a time and only being 3 days leaves plenty of time to spend with your pets if needed!

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment where pets feel safe and cared for. In My Home: I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with no unsafe items within reach. I make sure pets have fresh water, cozy rest areas, and plenty of playtime. Walks are always on a leash, and I stick to safe, public routes. In Your Home: I respect your space as if it were my own and your pet’s normal routine. I follow all instructions carefully, from feeding and medications to exercise and crate schedules. I’m extra mindful of locking doors, cleaning up after pets, and keeping their environment safe. I never leave pets unattended for long periods and give regular updates with pictures! My goal is to give pets the same love and structure they’re used to, while giving you peace of mind that they’re safe, happy, and in trustworthy hands.
Information Kiara D. would like to know about your pet
Routines: Feeding schedules, walk times, and any special bedtime habits. Health Needs: Medications, allergies, or mobility issues I should watch for. Behavior: How they do on walks (leash pulling, reactivity), comfort with other dogs/people, and any anxieties or fears. Training: Commands they know, house rules, or habits you’d like me to reinforce. Favorites: Their favorite toys, games, or comfort items to make them feel at home. The more I know, the more I can keep their routine consistent and make their time with me stress-free, safe, and fun!
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I tailor the day to their energy level and personality.. but fun, comfort, and love are always included! Morning: Start the day with fresh water, breakfast, and a potty break or walk to get them moving. Midday: Playtime! fetch, tug-of-war, or trips to the dog park! For older dogs, we might have a calm afternoon in the backyard or a slow stroll. Afternoon: Another walk or potty break, followed by downtime. This is when I send photo updates so you can see how happy and relaxed your pet is. Evening: Dinner, more play or exercise, and snuggles before winding down for the night. Whether your dog loves adventures, belly rubs, or just having company, I make sure they feel cared for and part of the family while you’re away.

Caring for Pets Like They’re My Own
Pet care experience
I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly treat every pet like family. Looking after others animals was my first job and it is still something I love to do and take pride in being able to do. I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from energetic puppies learning their routine to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. Having pups of my own, I understand how nerve wracking it can be to trust other people to take care of them like I would. I am a trustworthy and dependable person, I will do my absolute best to provide a normal routine, food regime, and cuddles while your fur babies are in my care. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, medications, crate training, and creating a safe, loving environment for each pet.
Reviews
Kiara did an amazing job dog sitting Millie! we were a little skeptical leaving Millie with someone since she is just a puppy, but she exceeded our expectations! Not only did we enjoy the photos/video updates she sent us throughout our trip, but our house looked untouched! Would highly recommend.
Kiara is a wonderfully responsible and caring pet sitter. She goes above and beyond to make sure our pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. Long walks, playtime! (big bonus!! our house is always cleaner than we left it) Her attention to detail and affection for animals makes her the perfect choice for anyone looking for a reliable caregiver. I always feel at ease knowing my pets are in her care.
