Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet will be part of my family!
Hi, I’m Kiera! I know how much pets mean to their families because I’ve been a devoted pet parent myself. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to my own 15-year-old senior pup, so I understand the unique needs of every stage of life. Whether it’s patience and positive reinforcement for young dogs learning the ropes or gentle care and extra TLC for senior pets, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have hands-on experience with reactive dogs, so I know how to create a calm, structured environment that helps them feel at ease. Every pet is different, and I’m committed to tailoring my care to their individual needs. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just good company, I’d love to be their new best friend while you’re away!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kiera did a great job! She was communicative and warm. I’d trust her again to care for my dog!
Kiera was great walking our dog! Communicates well and took great care of Chuck, would definitely recommend
Kiera was awesome at facilitating Zadi’s first experience with a dog and made boarding for the first time so stress-free. Thank you for your flexibility and I’m so glad to have another option in case I’m ever in a situation where I need to board again.
Kiera was very supportive of our pup, who tends to be quite reactive. She sent lots of pictures and gave updates, putting my mind at ease.
Kiera was great, responding quickly and was very communicative throughout the arrangement! We had a meet up a week ahead of time to determine fit and we booked once we saw it was.
As always, Kiera is a great sitter... and a great communicator, too.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! As a lifelong pet lover and current dog parent, I’m always making time for walks, playtime, and plenty of snuggles. Since I work Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, I’m available outside of those hours for pet care, whether that’s early morning walks, evening visits, or weekend adventures. Taking care of pets doesn’t feel like work to me—it’s something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. In my home, visiting dogs will have a friendly companion, my own 15 year old dog, to keep them company, plus plenty of space to relax and play. I also have a crate available for dogs who need it, whether for comfort, routine, or safety. In a client’s home, I follow their usual schedule and routine as closely as possible to help pets feel at ease. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure they get the same level of care and attention they’re used to. My goal is to provide a stress-free, loving environment where every pet feels right at home!
Pets
A typical day
I love making sure pets have a fun and enriching experience while in my care! Depending on their energy level and personality, we might go for walks, play a game of fetch, or have a fun sniffari (a scent-filled adventure where they get to explore with their nose!). If they love toys, we can play tug-of-war or work on puzzle toys for some mental stimulation. For the more relaxed pups, I’m always up for cozy cuddle sessions, gentle strolls, or just hanging out together. I tailor activities to each pet’s preferences, ensuring they get the perfect mix of fun, exercise, and relaxation while they’re with me!

- To provide the best care possible, I’d love to know a few key details about your pet before their stay. Any or all of this would be helpful: Routine & Preferences: What’s their usual schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and walks? Do they have favorite activities or toys? Temperament & Socialization: How do they feel about other dogs, new people, or new environments? Do they have any reactivity or anxiety triggers? Medical Needs: Do they have any allergies, medications, or special health considerations? Training & House Rules: Are there any commands they know or behaviors you’re working on? Are there any household rules (like no furniture or specific potty habits) you’d like me to reinforce? Crate & Sleep Preferences: Do they use a crate? Where do they usually sleep to feel most comfortable? The more I know about your pet, the better I can tailor my care to keep them happy, safe, and stress-free!
