Highlights
Pet care experience
Energetic & trustworthy pet lover
12+ Years of experience working with and caring for both dogs and cats. Briefly worked the summer at the Lake Forest Kennel Club taking care of and spending time with boarded cats and dogs. I’ve personally cared for numerous family pets. In addition, I have also had numerous "exotic" pets from rats to snakes and have taken car of numerous other "exotics" as well. No pet is off-limits to me! I have volunteered at numerous animal shelters in the Chicagoland area and gained valuable animal care experience. I'm an animal lover at heart, and enjoy taking care of and spending time with all animals!

Ratings and reviews
This was my first time leaving my dog with someone she didn’t know so I was nervous, but Kira was awesome and kept me updated the whole stay! Sunny had a blast!
Kira is an amazing dog sitter. Her dogs were so good with my energy white shepherd. She is so kind and was attentive to our dog’s needs. She constantly sent pictures and messaged us with updates. Kira made sure our Bolt was comfy and that all his needs were met. When we picked up Bolt he was ready and all his belongings were packed and cleaned. Kira is a natural at this! I definitely recommend her 10000%!! No doubt… we will rebook with her when we go on our next family trip if available. I can’t say enough how great she was. She made sure we felt at ease while being away for 8 days. Thank you Kira for taking such great care of Bolt!! :)
Kira was great! Super on communication! My dog did not even want to leave when I went to pick her up!
Kira was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was kind, friendly, understanding, and incredibly flexible. She made the entire experience stress-free and kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of our dog playing with her dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind. Honestly, it never felt like we were leaving our dog with a stranger. Kira made both us and our dog feel so comfortable, and it was clear that she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she watches. Our dog looked so happy, relaxed, and well cared for throughout the stay. I’m beyond impressed with the level of care and attention she provided. I wholeheartedly recommend Kira to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and loving dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again whenever we need a sitter. Thank you, Kira, for taking such amazing care of our furry family member!
Kira recently watched my dog Nalla for 2 weeks while I was on a family vacation. While I was away Kira kept me updated often and sent plenty of pictures! Her dogs were very friendly with mine and they loved to play, I was kept a peace of mind my entire vacation knowing Nalla was in good hands. When I returned, Nalla was just as happy and healthy as always and I could tell that she was well treated. I will definitely rebook with Kira if I need a sitter in the future!
Kira was great with communication and addressing our concerns. Rocco enjoyed playing with her dog. He was a happy dog when we picked him up.

Schedule
I work from home 2 days a week and 3 days in the office. My office days usually consist of me being gone between 6-8 hours. Previous boarders have all done well while I’m away, and enjoy the company of my other two pups.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a ranch house with my two dogs and two cats. They are very familiar with dogs, and are used to new friends coming in and out. I have a pet gate in case I need to separate animals, but have never had problems in the past.

A typical day
I love to go on walks with the dogs I’m watching. There is a nice walking trail by my home which makes for a great adventure. I’ve even visited local dog parks if pet owners are okay with it.
