Information Kira J. would like to know about your pet

I do not have breed preferences. I would like to know the breed, size, age, behavior issues, normal schedule, likes/dislikes and favorite things to do.

A typical day

We love to hang out and play in the yard. I have a very large fenced in yard where the dogs can run and play. We spend the majority of our time outside when we are able to.

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover since I was a kid. I have been a dog sitter for many years for friends and family for a variety of breeds. I own my own home and we have a large fenced in back yard. I currently own two dogs, a male Boxer mix named Apollo and a Boxer girl named Brasil. I have volunteered with MN Boxer Rescue and Midwest Animal Rescue Services. I have fostered dogs in my home and I am very comfortable and skilled in training and taking care of dogs. All dogs are treated like humans in my home because to me they all are. The bed, sofas, carpets and chairs are all on limits haha. I love all dogs and look forward to meeting yours! I work from home so I am not usually gone more than 4 hours at a time. Your dog will get plenty of attention and play time. I have a 6 foot vinyl fenced in yard so the dogs cannot get out. I allow dogs to sleep in my bed and be on the furniture and on dog beds as long as it is OK with the owner. We do have an outdoor pool so if jumping in the water is an issue for your dog we are probably not a good fit. If I am not home the dog will need to be crated.

Kira was an incredible dog sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She sent the best photos and thoughtful updates each day, which meant so much while we were missing our pup. She was also very intentional about introducing our dog to hers, making sure everyone felt comfortable and safe. On top of that, she took the time to show us around her home so we knew exactly what Grace would experience while staying there. We felt completely at ease leaving Grace in Kira and her two sweet dog’s care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and trustworthy sitter.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
