Pet care experience
I have worked with hundreds of dogs in a professional, training environment. I believe a well exercised dog leads to a well behaved dog. I enjoy walking and caring for dogs of all ages. I will care for your dog as if he/she is my own. Dogs are meaningful members of our families and it is my intention to provide the best care and experience for your dog while you're away from home, whether that is while you're at work or on vacation! I am currently working to start my own dog walking business. My primary role is to care for your dog. Walking, feeding, grooming, and building a relationship with you and your dog are my number one priorities. While your dog is in my care you can be assured that he/she will be in a fulled fenced yard. My personal dog is dog friendly and is great at helping me with pack walks and rest time. For our first couple meetings, I like to get to know your dog before we venture in the woods together. I do leashed walks and leashed packs walks to ensure that our relationship starts out with a strong foundation. Trust is not handed over easily with every dog so I want gain his/her trust and vice versa. Once we've established a relationship, that is when wondering into the woods is an option. Teaching a new behavior while your dog is in my care is something I thoroughly enjoy. Particularly learning manners on a leash makes their time with me rewarding, fun, and safe! I look forward to caring for your dog and growing a lasting relationship with you and your dog.
Reviews
Kiki is an incredible resource to dog families in our community. She's a gifted trainer and uses those skills and her knowledge of behavioral communication to put dogs at ease and help them understand their role in the household pack. Our pup struggles with separation anxiety and can get overwhelmed (and overwhelming!) in new spaces with multiple dogs. Kiki's approach immediately put him at ease and he came home calm and happy, with no overwhelm excitement hangover. We feel so lucky to have connected with Kiki and recommend that you do too!
Kiki did an incredible job of caring for my dog when I was out of town for work. I received regular updates and pictures of her being happy, healthy and occupied.
Kiki has been great! I have a schedule at work where the times and even days change last minute. It’s hard to find a dog walker that’s willing or able to fit my dog into their already busy day. So far things are working out with Kiki, and hope the relationship will continue.
Kiki is a fantastic dog sitter. She is responsive to communications, set up a meet and greet, took care in introducing our dogs to each other, gave my dog wonderful care, walks and playtime, and sent updates. I had great peace of mind that my dog was with Kiki.

My property is fully fenced. My personal dog is dog-friendly and loves to make new dog friends! When I step out of the house to run an errand I do prefer to crate the dogs while I'm gone. My errand outings are never more than 2 hours.

A typical day
I believe in the power of structure and schedule when it comes to dog care. I am happy to include your dogs daily routines while I'm watching your dog. It's important for them to feel comfortable and safe with me. I like to do mental stimulation games like working on impulse control, nose scent games, and general handler/dog engagement exercises. Walking on trails near my home and in the mountains are my preferred places to take dogs.

Availability
I have a part-time, remote office job working from home. However my primary focus is building my dog walking/boarding business. First thing in the morning involves dog walking, then some computer work (Doggie Zen Time for my furry friends), then afternoon play time in the yard, or more walking/adventures depending on the dogs in my care.
