Pet care experience

I am a graduated vet tech

I have worked for two zoos, 2 emergency clinics and hospitals that focused on cat, dog and exotics from rabbits, guinea pigs, snakes, geckos, tarantulas, ferrets, beardies, chinchillas, fennecs, prairie dogs, birds, axolotls, ect. I have training in senior cat and dog care and animal behavior training as well as vaccine and injection experience. I graduated from Joliet Junior College as a Veterinary Technician and I have petsat many dogs, cats, herps and small mammals. I'm strict with lists and rules and I love playing and giving treats. All animals are my friends including your tarantula! I love working with animals and I love working with pet parents. I have a large reference sheet with people who swear by me and know that their furry (or scalie) family member is in caring, professional, loving hands. If you're looking for a trusted, well rounded, experienced vet tech, then I'm your sitter!! If you don't like leaving your baby home alone, ask me about boarding!! I board ***most*** exotics and cats! (I don't board dogs, birds, aquatics, or larger exotics, please ask me for details)

Kiki is a professional in communicating with different animals, including cats. She showed all the love and care to my cat. I am very glad that I found Kiki. I have already become a happy regular client!

It seems as if it is not me who should write the review, but my cat (10 month old kitten), who stayed there :D My review is very positive (I recommend Kiki as a cat nanny). I was very worried, because this is the first experience for both me and the cat. I was very busy during my trip, but nevertheless I wrote to Kiki and asked about my "son". Kiki always responded quickly, told in detail how he was feeling and sent photos. I want to add that she is an expert in terms of what my cat needs and how to help him adapt. Unfortunately, I was sad that my cat had a hard time adapting, he was afraid of everything and everyone, but this was expected, although very sad. I hope the first experience will be good for both of us and in the future it will be easier and simpler to leave him in new places. P.S. After I brought him home, he misses his new cat friends and constantly calls them. I hope my neighbors don't call the police :D

Kiki is amazing. Any one looking for cat boarding should go for her. We had our cats boarded for 3 weeks with her and she made sure they were doing great. She took great care of them, gave them space and time to acclimate into the new place. My cats are a little shy but by the end of their stay they were best buddies with her cats. She sent us loads of pics and made sure to give regular updates. We will definitely book her the next time we need boarding services.

My cat loved staying with Kiki! She provided a safe and comfortable environment, and kept me updated so I never felt worried. Excellent communication, caring, and knowledgeable. She followed all instructions for our diabetic cat that requires twice daily injections of insulin and a special diet. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I will sit for your furry (or scalie) baby at your own home, so your rules are law! If your doggy needs to be crated, I will do that! If your kitty needs insulin shots, I have experience in that! Does your baby need 500 mLs of fluid? You're in the right hands! Does your flowers need to be watered? Tell me what a hydrangea looks like and I will water it!!

Pets

A typical day

I love tossing toys, playing fetch and doing practical exercises like sniffer training, and commands. I love giving treats and rewarding for good behavior. We can go for walks, runs or anywhere you want us to go. My car is pet friendly so I can take them anywhere!
