Small house, big yard
Pet care experience
My husband and I have 1 indoor cat. She is fine with dogs as long as they don’t chase or bark at her. We do not own any dogs but have had them in the past. I have experience with senior and handicap doggies as well as medications, cones, different harnesses, crates, and expressing. These days, I’m only hosting small/medium dogs. Currently, we do not take puppies, big dogs, high energy dogs or any dog bookings that do not get along with cats. My home is very small and the dogs only have access to a smallish area. My cat mainly stays in our room but she free roams in the house and comes out to look outside if the doors are open or to the living room where her litter box is located. If your dog will not allow my cat to free roam from room to room without worry then please do not book me as a sitter. High energy & loud barkers scare my cat and I will deny all booking requests with those temperaments. Please review all indoor photos to see if that will work for your dog before booking. Low energy, well tempered dogs please- otherwise it is hard for me to concentrate at my regular job. All of my extra time after 5pm & weekends will go to your doggy. Walks + playtime + love/pets. Thank you for respecting my preferences.
Reviews
Kiki took great care of my senior boy, Emmett. It was comforting to know that he was being treated
Kiki was wonderful and ever so sweet to our girls. Thank you for taking good care of our babies ?
Very nice, beautiful yard. My dog was well taken care of. I will definitely book with her again.
Kiki was amazing and exceeded our expectations! The communication was great and we could tell our dog felt right at home with her the second they meet! We will definitely be using her for all future boarding.

We have a fully fenced front and backyard. Our house is small and your dog will only have access to our kitchen & dining room area. I work in my dining room so I will keep an eye on them. I give all dogs filtered water unless you state tap is ok. I have some blankets I can set on the couch if no bed is provided. I do block off my bedroom and living room initially during meet and greets with baby gates until I can see how your dog will react around my cat and to ensure they do not confuse rugs as grass and pee/poop there as dogs become excited in new places and I’ve had this happen multiple times.

Information Kiki B. would like to know about your pet
Please do NOT request me as a sitter IF... •Your pet is aggressive toward people or cats. •Your dog barks/howls/cries night or day- my husband works off hours and will need to sleep and I don’t want to disturb my neighbors. • Your dog has a history of digging holes. • If your dog is not house trained- pees/poops indoors. • If your dog has a bad flea problem. • Your dog is a puppy. •Your dog is high energy and requires constant attention/supervision. • Your dog bites. • Your dog jumps and scratches on you- cannot relax and is a hyper breed. • Your dog has a history of jumping fences. • Your dog has any issues going up or down stairs. The yard is here to enjoy not destroy— if your dog will pull out plants from around the yard or start biting at items placed around the yard to drag around like toys please do not request me as a sitter. Note: I do not take high energy dogs via boarding only. Walks or drop in visits are on a case by case basis. I have gotten bit before and have had my shoe buckle bitten off. I will reject drop in visits & walks for any threatening breeds. I want to feel comfortable caring for your pets, not terrified by them. IF, I book your request... Please be sure to bring enough supplies: bowls, food, treats, toys, pet bed, poop bags, pee pads or whatever else may be needed.

A typical day
Before or after work if needed we can walk in the 1 mile block of my neighborhood. I have tennis balls and a small chew toy. Please bring toys! I have a full time job and the most attention I can give while I’m working is letting them out for potty breaks or runs around the yard. Sleepy senior dogs, dogs with separation anxiety, quiet sunbathers, or low energy chill dogs who would thrive inside or in the yard without constant supervision are welcomed.

I require a meet and greet if this is my first time boarding your pet. For extended stays, I may require a trial overnight stay to see if your pet is compatible as sometimes it’s hard to tell how dogs will react once they are left with us and want to ensure all things will go smoothly while they are in my care. I work from home full-time. I have MWF commitments during 12-1p so I cannot do drop offs or pick ups during this time. I am open for dog boarding (overnight stays at my house) and doggy daycare (same day supervision, no overnight) as long as my calendar isn’t blocked off. I am open for walks and drop in visits M-F between 7-730 am and 530-7pm only. I will only travel a 2-3 mile radius from Lakewood. I am free all day for walks and drop in visits (check ins at your house) during the WEEKEND at any time within a 10 mile radius. I am perfect during the week for a dog with separation anxiety as I am home all day. Please don’t show up at these times for drop off/pick up : M-F ( I am forced to clock in and out at my desk at 8 am and out at 5pm. Please do not come 5 mins before or after my start and end times. If drop offs are on a Tuesday, Street sweeping is from 12:30-2:30 so drop offs and pick ups might have to be quick. If drop offs are on a Wednesday it will have to be before 730 or after 815 am as our gardener will be here. I also have a meeting at 10 am Wednesdays so between 10-1030 will be a little hard. During times of rain I will meet you @ an alt. address as our gate sticks and I cannot get it opened or closed. I live on a Main Street and sometimes there is little parking. If you have a lot of items and need help, I have a wagon and would be happy to meet you on the side streets if needed. I do not accommodate early or late drop offs or pickup. Depending on the season (time change) 6-7 am earliest and 8-9 pm latest.
