Pet care experience

Farm house

I have had animals in my life since I was a little girl. I am self employed and work from home, which blesses me with the freedom and flexibility to give both time and attention to your beloved. Between my husband and I there is almost always someone home to love and care for your furbabies. We know that your furbaby is more than a pet; that they are family. Know they will be well cared for and loved just like they are our very own. I've owned several animals from dogs, cats, chickens, pythons, gators, fish, birds...etc When I say I love animals, I love all animals. I've cared for and owned many dog breeds since I was a child from Mutts, Beagles, Labs, and a Chihuahua (who was trained like a lab). I've watched, and cared for other people's furry family members many times as well. I have also cared for special need pups such as high anxiety, trauma, stressed shelter pups, gave medication, and watched over elderly dogs. It's NO challenge to do what needs to be done to make sure ALL your loved ones great, small, and of different backgrounds, and personalities feel safe, secure, and loved. Since our beloved little dog passed we have chosen to not own any more but have plenty of love and attention to give to yours! We don't ever watch pups from different families unless owners tell us it's ok otherwise. So unless you say it's ok, rest assured that your pups will be the only one's in our care. Thank you for entrusting us with your beloved family member! We are both excited and honored to be able to give your sweet one's a mini vacation of their own while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a ton of space to be able to take great walks. Unfortunately it's not fenced so your pup will need to be leashed unless trained to not need one and personally told to not use one. We do our best to acclimate ourselves to each furbaby's personality. Some are super active so we make sure they get tons of playtime. If they are snugglers, they get lots of snuggles. If they like to just relax, then that's what we'll do. We just want any that are in our care to feel right at home.

Kika was WONDERFUL with Millie! She had a fantastic overnight! We can’t thank them enough for making her feel so at home!

Kika was very responsive and often sent pictures and videos of the dogs. One of our dogs is on 4 medications with specific instructions, and she handled it with no problem. It’s the first time my dogs looked happy after having someone watch them (they usually seem traumatized after staying at a boarding facility). Highly recommend, 10/10.

Kika did a great job taking care of my anxious dog. She provided a stress-free environment and was easy to communicate with.

My pups were extremely happy over at Kika's! She treated them excellent and sent us videos every day. It's hard for us to leave our dogs with someone else, so it was reassuring to leave them with someone who genuinely cares!

I just returned from my vacation and Kika took care of our girl while we were gone. This is my first experience using Rover and our girl's first stay with Kika. It was a great experience. Kika took great care of my dog and sent me pictures and updates daily. She kept her in her routine so that it was as easy on my dog as possible. My girl came home happy and it seems that she enjoyed her vacation as well with Kika's family. I would definitely recommend her and will use her services again in the future.

I would like to know how well trained they are. I guess if they listen to the basics. If they are agressive or not. Any special instructions or needs. Just so that we know the best way to care for your loved ones.
