I’m Kiki, a dedicated professional whose journey in the field commenced in 2014 with a prominent corporate company in Miami. During this time, I discovered my profound passion for training, an enthusiasm that has led me to successfully guide numerous students. From fundamental puppy training to engaging in rehabilitation work, my expertise spans across satisfied clients from the east coast to the west coast of Florida. In 2018, I expanded my professional endeavors into professional pet sitting. Over the years, I have managed a wide variety of households, ranging from single-pet residences to small farms.
What brings me fulfillment is the opportunity to enrich the lives of various animals. I take great joy in offering essential behavioral advice, teaching new skills, and providing assistance to those in need. Additionally, I find immense satisfaction in enabling pet owners to enjoy peace of mind, whether seeking guidance or taking a well-deserved vacation.

My professional journey in pet care commenced in 2012 within a prominent corporate pet store, where I diligently studied animal care and behavior. Despite having always incorporated the care of animals into my life, it became evident during my tenure at the pet store that not everyone possessed the knowledge I took for granted.
Within the chain, I not only attended to the animals in the store but also served as a consultant on a comprehensive range of animal-related matters. Concurrently, I dedicated myself to the rescue and raising of cats within my home and have become an expert on their behavior and care. My extensive knowledge spans various species, including cats, dogs, reptiles/amphibians, freshwater fish/crabs, guinea pigs, rats, gerbils, hamsters, pigs, cows, chickens/exotic birds, and the care and raising of feeder worms such as meal worms, earthworms, and super worms, as well as crickets, moths, spiders, and other critters.
My passion for animals extends beyond the professional realm, and I find both the challenges and rewards of rescuing and caring for them deeply fulfilling. Each encounter with a new animal presents an opportunity for continuous learning and discovery, contributing to the richness of my experience in the field.

From a young age, my life has been deeply intertwined with animals. Growing up, I always had at least one pet, and my curiosity and passion for animals only intensified as I matured. I eagerly assisted stray cats and dogs and took great pleasure in helping care for my neighbors’ pets, ranging from birds to horses.
My professional journey began in 2015 at a large chain pet store, where I had the opportunity to work closely with a variety of animals. Whenever I encountered an unfamiliar species, I committed myself to extensive research to provide the best care possible. This dedication was driven by my belief that every animal deserves the highest quality of care.
During this time, I also started training dogs. While I had always enjoyed teaching my pets fun tricks growing up, I realized the importance of foundational training. Over the years, I have refined these skills, focusing on understanding and addressing the unique needs of each dog I train. My professional experience includes solo work and positions within reputable businesses in Southwest Florida, including barns and horse stables.
Throughout my career, I have gained extensive knowledge in the care and training of dogs, cats, parrots, horses, cows, pigs, small mammals, freshwater fish, non-venomous snakes, and various reptiles. I am committed to continuously expanding my expertise to ensure that I provide the best training and care for my clients and their beloved animals.

My whole life I have had a passion for animals and environmental conservation. I grew up around animals my whole life from chickens and pigs to cats and dogs. I have developed a lot of discipline when it comes to caring for animals and being very empathetic to their needs. I have always cared about ensuring they have a good quality of life and are able to cope with their situation and surroundings. Providing animals with all the necessary elements to ensure their physical and mental health and a sense of positive individual wellbeing. All thing’s involving nature has always been my true passion for life. I have always been a believer of making your passions your career no matter how hard or impossible. I would never want to feel like I am working a day in my life and working with animals provides that. My experience has developed from having my own pets, caring for family, friends, and volunteering over the years. I desire to be able to assist others with the essential tools and knowledge to provide their pets with exceptional care.

I began pet sitting in 2018 while working on Sanibel Island. I really enjoy the time I have sitting with the pets I have cared for. I research to increase my knowledge on each breed I care for in order to give the best possible care. My experience is with cats and dogs. As my children were growing up, our dog Maggie was the best part of our lives. For all the love we give to our pets, they give that much back tenfold.
