I’ll treat your pets like family 🫶
Pet care experience
I’ve had pets my whole life. I got my first dog of my own when I was 18. I lost my soul dog Beans at 9 years old to cancer in April 2022 after 7 years together, but someone abandoned their golden retriever puppy into my care in March 2023. I like to say that the universe knew we needed each other. She was definitely unexpected, but has been an absolute blessing and Wednesday does accompany me to house sits when she can. Otherwise she stays home with my roommate (who is also rover background checked and approved) and her little black cat sister named Jiji. I was previously a boarding kennel attendant for multiple years, so I have all kinds of skills and understanding of your pets potential needs! I’m extremely patient and compassionate with animals, and many of my coworkers, friends, and family rely on me for pet care. I’m really flexible and willing to work with you to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. Having lost a dog to cancer, I have a special understanding of what that’s like to go through. I am experienced and comfortable with hospice and end-of-life care. It’s such a privilege to care for senior and special needs dogs. I’ve had multiple clients reach out to me to be a part of their pet’s support system during this extremely difficult time. I’m happy to discuss additional rates for drop-ins/care of this nature. 🤍 That being said, I’m definitely comfortable with all ages, breeds, and sizes! I just have a soft spot for the old ones and the little ones 😸
Reviews
Kiara was great taking care of our fur babies! She sent photos and detailed report cards for the drop ins! Would recommend and will reach out to her for future needs!
The girls always love when Kiki stops by. She is such a great guest and loving to our family.
Pups seemed to have loved Kiara! There didn't seem to be any messes on the floor while we were gone, which has not happened with previous sitters! Will definitely hire her again!
Kiara was amazing and was fully communicative during her sitting. Went above and beyond! We will be using in the future most definitely!

Safety, trust & environment
I’m really detail-oriented and dedicated to making you and your pet(s) comfortable and happy. I treat my clients pets and homes as if they were mine for the time that I’m with them. My house is clean and animal-proofed. We have several baby gates and crates if necessary. We keep potty pads and belly bands/diapers just in case buddies get nervous in a new environment. Pets are never left alone with my dog Wednesday if I am not there. She is so submissive and doesn’t have a mean bone in her body, but we just like to be extra cautious with new dogs who aren’t in our “family”. I have tons of natural treats and chews, lick mats, toys, dog beds you name it lol they will definitely be spoiled rotten at Kiki’s!!
Information Kiara W. would like to know about your pet
Just let me know anything you think is important. You definitely know your dog best! How they are with other dogs, a relative feeding schedule (what time/how much?), any particular likes/dislikes, medications, words and phrases they understand are always super helpful! **ROVER TERMS OF SERVICE DO STATE THAT IF YOU HAVE EXTERIOR/INTERIOR VIDEO SURVEILLANCE IN YOUR HOME THAT YOU NOTIFY YOUR SITTER OF WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED** This is mostly just for my safety. Thank you for understanding!! ** *This is mostly for overnight house sitting clients and would usually be done during the meet and greet!
A typical day
I love doing walks around the neighborhood and playing with alllll the toys. The “chuck-it” is one of my favorite toys and I love to play “tug” and mentally enriching and stimulating games! Dog parks aren’t my favorite, so we use SniffSpot instead!. I also love going for walk/hikes at metro parks! I’m super careful when doing anything outside of the house and always cross the road when we see other dogs and avoid stopping and talking to people if possible. I don’t take chances with other peoples’ dogs and definitely err on the side of caution! Snuggling on the couch and taking naps are more my speed, though :)

Availability
I am currently pet-sitting full time! I am taking a much needed break from the service industry to do something that truly makes me happy. My schedule is extremely flexible. Aside from occasional walks/drop-ins and personal commitments I am able to be at your home (or mine in the case of boardings) full time. I’m super careful about not over-scheduling myself so that all the buddies I take care of receive the best care possible, and typically only take pets from one family at a time for boardings and obviously for house-sitting/overnights.
