In my own routine, I’m used to morning and evening feedings, along with multiple trips outside throughout the day for fresh air and yard time. I’m comfortable sticking to a consistent schedule to help pets feel secure and cared for, just like I do with my own.

Information Kiersten "KiKi" S. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has specific needs, such as medications, allergies, or other special care, it’s important we discuss these clearly to ensure their safety and comfort. For reactive animals, I’m happy to collaborate on preventive strategies to provide smooth, stress-free care. If your pet is visiting our home, it’s worth noting our fence is approximately 4ft tall chain link (not the taller privacy style).

A typical day

The activities I do with pets depend entirely on their individual personalities, some love cuddles, others need to burn off energy, and some prefer just being fed and left to relax. I’m very mindful of these differences and always adjust my care based on each pet’s unique needs and the preferences communicated by their pet parents.

Pet care experience

As a lifelong pet owner of dogs, cats, and rabbits, with years of experience fostering and providing long-term pet sitting, I’ve had the joy of caring for a wide variety of breeds and personalities. I’m especially attuned to the needs of reactive or sensitive pets. I prioritize reliability, clear communication with pet owners, and building a genuine connection with every animal in my care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and following detailed care instructions to ensure your pet stays happy and healthy. My background in hospitality has taught me patience, multitasking, and a keen awareness of my environment, while my training in social work helps me assess situations calmly and respond with intention. Every animal I meet brings something special, and I truly enjoy getting to know each one. Your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority—because that’s exactly what I’d want for my own.

Cinnamon loves her stays with Kiki. We sometimes worry she may not want to come home!😂

KiKi is amazing! I was nervous for Romy’s first boarding experience as he has some quirks, but it was no challenge for KiKi. She sent the cutest pictures and kept me updated throughout our trip. Romy had the best time playing in the backyard, swinging, and cuddling.
