I work four days a week and live close to my workplace, which allows me the flexibility to walk your dog before work, during lunch, and again afterward. In the evenings, I’m happy to take them on longer walks or to nearby dog parks for extra exercise and enrichment.

Safety, trust & environment

As a lifelong animal lover who is currently unable to have a pet of my own, I genuinely enjoy the opportunity to care for others' pets as if they were my own. I’m an active person who also enjoys quiet time at home, so I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s energy level and needs—whether that means plenty of exercise or calm companionship. I’m comfortable with pets on the furniture, though I do prefer to keep my bedroom a pet-free space. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities.

Information Kiya L. would like to know about your pet

I believe every dog is unique, so I make it a priority to learn as much as I can to match their routine and keep them comfortable. Before each booking, I like to go over a few key details to ensure your pup gets the best possible care: Daily Routine: I follow your dog’s feeding, walking, and potty schedule closely. Whether they enjoy morning walks or evening cuddles, I’m here to keep things consistent. Health & Medications: I’m comfortable administering medications and managing special dietary needs. Just let me know what your dog requires, and I’ll handle it with care. Behavior & Personality: Knowing your dog’s personality, triggers, and favorite activities helps me give them the attention they need—whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and mellow. House Rules: I always respect your preferences—whether your dog is allowed on furniture, has crate time, or if there are any off-limit areas in the home. Safety First: I make sure walks are safe, leashes are secure, and your pet’s environment is clean and comfortable at all times. Communication: I’ll keep you updated with messages, photos, or videos (as often as you’d like!) so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pup’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family.

A typical day

As an early riser, I’m available for morning walks and attentive care throughout the day. I enjoy taking long walks and am happy to let your furry friend explore the neighborhood or visit nearby dog parks. I love playing fetch and providing active engagement for energetic dogs. At the end of the day, I’m always up for some cozy couch time, snuggles, and plenty of belly rubs to make sure your dog feels loved and relaxed.

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes, from Dobermans to Dachshunds. I'm comfortable managing special dietary requirements and administering medications as needed. Growing up, I regularly walked dogs and provided care for multiple pets from the same household, so handling more than one dog at a time is no problem. I'm passionate about animal care and would be happy to look after your furry companions whenever you need assistance.

Kiya was great! She was very easygoing and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. She took great care of our little guy and we look forward to booking her again in the future.

Kiya and Joey were awesome! I can tell even though it was a long weekend stay, Zoe settled right in! Kiya was great about communicating and sending daily pictures/updates. I had no doubts Zoe was in great hands. Thanks so much!
