Pet care experience
Comprehensive Dog Care with a Positive Approach: I possess extensive knowledge in dog training, strictly based on positive reinforcement. My extensive knowledge in dog training is backed by completing all PetSmart courses (3 in total), a one-month loose leash walking program, two months of clicker training, an online course on canine body language, and a six-week agility training course. Daily Care and Specialized Services: - Basic Grooming: Includes nail clipping, eye cleaning, and brushing for dogs comfortable with handling. For pets showing aggression, I offer desensitization training using purely positive, low-stress techniques as an optional paid service. - Outdoor Activities: Guaranteed ample outdoor time, with potty breaks and playtime in the backyard every 4 hours. We can offer 30 minutes of daily walks in the community or trails nearby upon request, subject to additional fees. - Human Interaction: Daily playtime with their favorite games such as fetch, tug-of-war, and any other games, tailored to what your dog enjoys and is accustomed to playing at home. - Bathing Services: For stays over 3 weeks, we provide a complimentary bath for dogs that are non-aggressive and not extremely resistant to bathing, ensuring they stay clean and fresh. - Toys and Treats as a Gift: Every guest staying with us for more than 3 days will be gifted a toy and treat, enhancing their enjoyment during their stay. Our personalized approach ensures not just a stay, but a joyful and enriching experience for your dog, aligning with their needs and your expectations.
Reviews
First time using a rover, Kiki was very helpful from the beginning. She explained how rover worked and what to expect. She sent me so many pictures and videos of my dog without asking how he was doing. She let me know how he ate and played with toys. She made us very comfortable with constant updates during the vacation. Absolutely loved her boarding service! Thank you again!
We are very happy with Kiki and the way she took care of our dog and made us feel he was safe and happy. We received many updates along the day and were able to communicate with Kiki in real time. It was the first time for our dog at Kiki’s and we were very pleased with the experience. Thanks Kiki for taking such good care of Coco!
Have tried the daycare, great sitter! Played with my dog, took a lot of photos/videos to share with me, and taught me how to train my dog. I love the service. highly recommend.
I highly recommend this dog boarding service. My dog is very timid because it cannot see out of one eye, but Kiki was incredibly patient, and my dog quickly grew to trust her. I always thought my dog was not very smart because it couldn't even learn to sit, but Kiki proved me wrong. In just one week of boarding, my dog learned many skills, including sitting, lying down, spinning around, and shaking hands. Kiki also sent me videos of the training process, and my dog seemed very happy and eager to learn, especially since treats were involved.

A typical day
A typical day with the pets I watch is packed with engaging and enjoyable activities designed to keep them happy and stimulated. We kick off the day with some energetic playtime in the backyard, setting a lively tone. Throughout the day, we dive into interactive games like fetch, tug-of-war, and puzzle toys, which not only provide physical exercise but also mental stimulation. For a bit of adventure, leisurely walks or hikes are on the agenda, allowing the pets to explore and enjoy the scents of the neighborhood or trails. We also incorporate afternoon training sessions using positive reinforcement to sharpen their skills and keep their minds active. To ensure they feel loved and secure, the day winds down with some cuddle time and relaxation, making every day a balanced blend of fun, learning, and comfort.
