Pet care experience
I started my passion with pet care as a trained dog groomer at Kennelwood for 2 years. Specializing in FURminating baths/brush outs, nail grinding and hair trimming with both dogs and cats. After a move, I began working as the lead dog handler at Murphy Animal Hospital and a dog handler at Love Unleashed. Working as a dog handler in such a large capacity has taught me how to read body language in order to better gauge situations in the yards, as well as how to disperse, distract and disrupt dog fights/ aggression while alone with upward of 50 dogs. At home I have the best 2 year old white lab and shepherd mix, Aspen, and three cats, Maple, Gypsy, and Malachi. In my life I have rescued, rehabilitated, and rehomed many dogs, cats, fish, birds, snakes, and turtles. My dream come true would be to start a dog rescue/shelter to further my impact and help mans best friend.
Reviews
Kiya was wonderful with both of my cats! She was able to trim their nails with ease while they were sleeping, they didn't even notice! She was super gentle and caring with my fur-babies.

I have a large yard, including woods and a flowing creek, for dogs to fully enjoy their freedom! Our house is always busy and buzzing with my father and step-mother renting the upper apartment, my sister staying for college, and of course my dog loving husband! We are within 15 minutes of multiple dog parks as well! Our Dog, Aspen, is two years old, fully house trained, and trained off leash. Since we rescued her she has been regularly walked and brought to dog parks, she is a great chaser in games of tag, a complete curious George, and a patient nurturer.
Information Kiya D. would like to know about your pet
Any special care needs, aggressions, allergies, etc. I would love to provide any additional care your pups may need! I prefer to have notice and written instructions if possible!
A typical day
I love to run around with active pups and snuggle up for nap time after! Walks, catch, wrestling, tug of war, you name it! A tired pup is a well behaved pup!
