Kiara is a true pet lover - and professional. When our geriatric American Eskimo, Cosmo, needed care, we trusted her to always meet his needs. And she also gives amazing geriatric pet massages. And, for what it's worth, she always showed up on time and we were very comfortable having her in our home. After having other "pet sitters" in our home, she has shined!

Testimonials

Sandwich Loved His Vacation! My husband and I hired Kiara to watch our dog (who is basically our son) for 6 days while we were on vacation. From the moment we meet her we were at ease and very comfortable and Sandwich enjoyed exploring the new environment. We received a text update letting us know how he was doing and I'm confident that had we asked for it, we would have had daily updates. Sandwich got along great with the other dogs that were there and definitely came home having been well taken care of while we were gone. I would definitely recommend Kiara to anyone else looking for dog care and would definitely use her again!

"I have always worked with and for animals in some capacity. I have two small  chihuahuas (Rose and Beverly. ) I wanted a career where I could be with my animals while caring for other animals because that's what makes me happy! I truly love caring for and helping animals. It is my passion. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and your pets."
