I work from home every day except Thursdays and have a car! My own dog Cooper has shown to be quite good with puppies and socializing other dogs so I try to bring him along for any drop ins if you want your dog to have a furry friend. He is a sweet old soul and I find having another pet in the house helps ease any new place tension your furry kid may feel! I also work east coast hours so I get off at 4:00pm every day! Once the clock strikes you will find Cooper and I at our local dog park or on a walk every single day of the week!

Information Kiaya S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any previous issues in regards to your fur bestie and If they get along with other dogs and people! For drop in visits please let me know how I can best help you and your furry friend- do they want to play, cuddle on the couch, etc. Feeding schedule, sleeping arrangements, fave spots to be scratched- give me all the furry details!

A typical day

You can expect all day play in the backyard and dog run with fresh water and constant access to the cool AC inside. We will take a break from play about every hour or so so that your baby doesn’t over exert themselves! At the end of the day we do some fetch and training at our local park so that they come home tired!

Pets

The Ulti-mutt Friendship 🐶

Pet care experience

Since I quite literally escaped from my mothers womb I’ve had a pet. That’s right, not a single year has passed in my life where I didn’t have the honor of caring for a furry best friend. This familial love of dogs turned into a passion when I was able to start volunteering at my local animal shelter as a kid. That then turned into a want to major in Veterinary medicine as a young adult. When I realized I didn’t have the heart to put dogs down my career field changed but my love of dogs kept growing. Being raised in Austin, TX dogs were just a way of life. I have dog/cat sat / walked for neighbors, family and even strangers. More so than that having a furry child of my own ( Cooper the chocolate lab) who is my psychiatric SD. I understand that our pets are an extension of us, and should be loved unconditionally and always! I look forward to meeting you and your purrfect best friend!

Kiaya is always great with my cat, Tonks! She always leaves everything in perfect condition and it’s great knowing I will be coming home to a happy and safe cat. Thank you, Kiaya!

Kiaya was amazing with our two cats! She checked in on them for a week and was very thorough with her check ins, sending lots of pics and videos! Our cats also LOVEEEEE her which is saying something special since one of our cats is very shy and timid. Will definitely be a repeat customer :)

Kiaya was super communicative, helpful and just overall was great with my kitty. She sent me lots of sweet photos while I was away for the day and I knew my cat was in great hands. I would absolutely ask her to come take care of my cat again. Thank you Kiaya!!
