Big Heart, Happy Paws, Loving Care

I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me! I currently have a dachshund of my own and understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your fur baby. 🐾 My healthcare background has made me attentive, responsible, patient, and comfortable handling unexpected situations. I’m also knowledgeable in dog CPR, adding an extra level of safety and preparedness while your pet is in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own! ❤️

Kiona is extremely careful, reliable, and loving with our dog “ Cypher” . She always sends us pictures, keeps us updated throughout the day, and lets us know that everything is going well. Her communication gives us peace of mind, and we always feel confident knowing our dog is safe and well cared for with her.

Schedule

I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pet with the attention and care they deserve! I’m available Monday–Friday after 5 PM, as well as on weekends. After work, I often take my own dachshund to the dog park for exercise, playtime, and fresh air, so I’d love to incorporate your pup into my active routine when appropriate. 🐾 Whether your pet needs an evening walk, drop-in visit, playtime, or weekend care, I’m happy to work with their normal schedule and routine. My goal is to make pet care convenient for you and fun and comfortable for them!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority! I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I treat every dog as carefully and lovingly as I would my own. My dachshund, Jasper, is friendly and loves having canine company, making him a great companion for dogs who enjoy socializing and playtime. Of course, I always follow each owner’s preferences regarding interactions with other pets. I keep a close eye on dogs while they’re in my care and never leave them unattended in situations where their safety could be at risk. I pay attention to behavior, energy levels, surroundings, and signs that a dog may need a break or extra attention. I also carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions. With my healthcare background and knowledge of dog CPR, I’m comfortable staying calm and attentive in unexpected situations. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and loved! 🐾❤️
