Pet care experience

Hi! I’m TK – your pet’s next favorite human! 🐾 First things first, thank you for stopping by! I’m Takira, but feel free to call me TK or Kira. A quick personal note: I’m a below-the-knee amputee on my left leg—but I see it as an adaptation, not a limitation. I live by the mantra: “You are greater than any situation pitted against you.” That strength and positivity flows into everything I do, especially how I care for pets. I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—there’s never been a time I didn’t have a furry friend by my side. From raising dogs since I was four, to pet sitting and walking professionally, I understand the love, energy, and trust it takes to be a great sitter. Whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs to run or a senior dog who needs gentle care, I’ve got the experience and patience to meet them where they are. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Biology with minors in Africana Studies and Art, and I’m a former track athlete—so I’ve got both the smarts and the stamina to keep up with your pets. My schedule is wide open aside from gym visits in the evening, so I’m super flexible and ready when you are. What really sets me apart is that I love this work. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and playful space where your pets feel at home, even when you’re away. I’m also building toward opening a dog-focused care and entertainment business in the near future—so every client I meet is part of that bigger dream. Thank you for considering me to care for your beloved companion. I can’t wait to meet your pet and become part of their extended family! 🐶❤️

Takira did a great job taking care of Coco. We picked him up and he was exhausted from a fun day with Takira. Will book her again.

Takira did a great job watching our Max for four nights. She kept us updated with text and photos of Max enjoying himself. We will definitely use her services again.
