About: I have pet sit other dogs prior but the one dog that sticks out is my sister’s black lab. Shakira was a black lab mutt with an auto immune disease. She needed twice daily medication and to be taken out side frequently. I work nights as a custodian for a school district ! So I’m available early to mid mornings for walks or house sitting over the weekends. As I have a cat, my number one priority for him is always making sure the doors are shut. He’s an indoor kitty and I ensure that it stays that way. Always guaranteed to have food and water and a clean litter box.
About: I’m a Great Dane mom and had 4 dogs in my life. I love dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them. I'm reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure dogs are safe and happy. With me, your furry friend will get the best care and companionship. I’m currently on my summer break as a nursing student so I have all my time with your fur babies. I’m free 24/7 when I’m not traveling I had my giant Great Dane abused by sitters. That’s what made me want to be a sitter. I hope all fur babies are loved and be happy when the owners cannot be around.
About: Ever since I can remember, I have been surrounded by animals: specifically dogs and cats. Particularly for dogs, I have assisted in the training of puppies (encouraging positive behavior, potty training, etc.) while also providing dog-walking services for friends and family nearby. I truly love animals, as each and every one is so unique, and would love to share my passion for animals with you! I am currently unemployed as I have just recently graduated from college, so my schedule is very flexible and can work around any pet’s needs. I have a large fenced in yard that provides my animals with safe spaces for exercise. I also have two pet water fountains inside the home to promote hydration especially during the summer months. My pets always get a breakfast and dinner, though each is tailored to their specific dietary needs. Playtime is a must in my household, and my pets always receive interactive stimulation to keep their minds and bodies healthy.

Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, I bring the same level of care and responsibility I offer to my human patients, ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well looked after in their own home.
“Kierra went above and beyond this time, taking care of our furbabies with our house mostly packed up (even the couches and TV were packed!). Her biggest concern was our dogs, who both were rescues and suffer from anxiety due to being previously abandoned. With us moving out of state we will miss having her watch them and our search for a new dog sitter will leave enormous shoes to fill. Thank you for everything Kierra, we all will miss you!”
