Pet care experience

I have been hugely involved with animals since I was a child, and even moreso as an adult. I've worked everything from boarding horses (routine daily care including training prep, bathing, exercise, feeding, and stabling) to pet sitting (I am the family and friend go-to for all pet related needs). I have handled, owned, and trained various animals including, but not limited to reptiles, amphibians, rodents of all sizes and breeds, birds of all kinds, cats, dogs, farm animals from cows to chicken to goats, and many more. I am comfortable with senior animals, animals with disabilities/special needs, and adolescent animals that require training. I am also experienced with animals that have behavioral/medical issues and am willing to train, walk, and work with "troublesome" animals so long as the correct tools are provided to me (muzzle, head collar, reinforced leash, etc). Dogs with jobs and clever dogs with high energy are my all time favorite to work with. I have donated my time towards community service in support of local animal shelters, rescues, and the ASPCA since 2013 where I have also tnr feral cat colonies.

With Kira looking after my cat, I can travel with peace of mind. She cares for my little guy as if he were her own and shares thoughtful daily reports and photos to keep me updated. If you’re looking for compassionate, communicative, and responsible sitter, look no further. Highly recommend!

Kira is the best sitter we’ve ever had! She really cares about our cat and our cat loves hanging out with her. I love all the daily updates and photos!

Kira did an absolutely amazing job with our two kittens and tripod cat. I felt very confident that she could handle anything they threw her way (especially because they aren't fully integrated yet and I wasn't sure how nice my older cat would be with the kittens!) Kira facilitated them safetly getting to know each other, provided them a clean safe environment, and loads of love. I can tell she loves cats by the second she greeted them. She filled out amazing thorough reports everyday that made me feel like i wasnt missing anything even though we were gone for a week. She was a wonderful cat sitter and I can't say enough good things about her!

Safety, trust & environment

I own two cats, one is 14 and one 1.5 years old. I care for them every day and they keep me company when I need them most. My cat who passed away about a year ago was special needs, and my younger cat was adopted as a companion for my older cat so I prefer in-client home situations. I will leave detailed notes of your pets day, provide pictures, arrange video calls for you and your fur baby, and have absolutely no objection to being recorded via security cameras while caring for your loved ones. Monitoring is a healthy way to establish trust and reduce the inevitable anxiety/depression of separation for both pet and owner. Even if it's just for a walk, I would love to tell you about your pets fun times!

Information Kira W. would like to know about your pet

I can handle dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and medical needs. I have delt with special needs animals my entire life and they are also my favorite companions. Just let me know how and I will do my best to accommodate anything they might need.

A typical day

I'm a talker, so I love talking to the pets I care for. I find they hold wonderful conversations. I'm easy going when it comes to exercise. I don't typically run because I have medical limitations but challenging pets mentally and teaching them new tricks is my forte.

I am currently not working due to medical reasons, and am slowly getting back into the swing of things via this app. I am looking to care for pets long term and offer stability and reliable scheduling. Animals and people alike do best with a routine and familiarity, but I am more than willing to take on temporary work with no long term commitment!
