Pet care experience
I've had dogs and cats all my life! I'm currently a cat foster and have experience caring for pets of all ages, and pets with health concerns and special needs including diabetes and cerebellar hypoplasia. I genuinely love animals and take the trust you put in a pet sitter very seriously. I can't wait to meet your fur baby! In addition to walking, playing with, and generally loving dogs, I offer top notch cat boarding! My two cats are gentle and friendly, and since I've been fostering for a while they're very used to making new friends. In my foster experience I've cared for a wide variety of cats from kittens just a few weeks old to seniors with health conditions. I've fostered kitties with diabetes, and cerebellar hypoplasia, kitties that need regular medicine, basically if your cat needs special care and attention odds are good I've done it before! My home is of course very cat friendly with cat trees to climb, and quiet places to hide out for our shy kitties out there. Making friends with new cats is one of my favorite things to do, so if you're looking for somebody to watch your fur baby let me know!
Reviews
Kira was phenomenal! She took excellent care of our cat, Eleanor, and our dog, Marge (who is skeptical of new people and can be reactive on the leash). Kira and the gals became fast friends, and she provided comprehensive updates and photos for us while we were away. It was clear from the photos that she was taking excellent care of our animals and that they loved having her around. Kira even helped out when our HVAC started acting up while we were gone and contacted our condo board president to help troubleshoot the problem until we got back. Kira is a true gem and we’d definitely have her care for our pets again. Highly recommend! 🐶🐱
Kira was so great! She took wonderful care of my cat Lucy and was very communicative with fun updates every day. Highly recommend her services!
WOW I can’t say enough good things about Kira. She was so wonderful with our dog and cats. Her updates were funny, informative, and full of photos. We plan on booking her again any time we go out of town. Thanks Kira!
Kira was amazing! I got great updates throughout the week and she took great care of my Bingo. Will definitely use her again!

I can spend time with you pets as much as you need! Whatever care your pets need I can make it happen, including walks, play time, feeding, health care/medicine, bathing, or if they just need somebody to keep them company! I am happy to board cats in my home if you need somebody to keep an eye on them while you're out of town. I'm very experienced with cats and frequently foster rescues of all ages and types, and am experienced with kitty cat medical care if your cat needs medicine or any other special accomodations!
Information Kira A. would like to know about your pet
I'm comfortable around just about any dog or cat, just give me a full outline of their daily schedule, any special needs, and a few tips on their favorite activities! If you are interested in boarding a cat, it is important to me that they are up to date on all vaccines. My cats are, and it's important that any cats in my care stay safe and healthy!
A typical day
I love playing with pups! I'm a big fan of walking in parks or on trails, anywhere that gets a hound outside and active. I'd love to know your dog's favorite spots!

I am a grad student on summer break so my schedule is very flexible. I usually work from home most days of the week so I have plenty of time to spend doting on pets!
