Kira is an Oakland based dog walker who only utilizes Positive Reinforcement Methods (R+) to keep things fun & safe!

Pack members are picked up from their homes and taken to a nearby trail or park to run and play off leash for one hour. I keep the pack moving at a steady pace with small breaks for water and treats.

"Kira is amazing! Having been an Oakland Animal Services volunteer and dog walker/sitter for so many years; Kira is extremely experienced with dogs of all sizes, temperaments and personalities. Kira loves animals and they love her.

Kira has a very calming nature and is able to manage and control the pack like nothing I’ve ever seen. I never worry when my dogs are in Kira’s care because she is responsible, knowledgeable, dependable and I especially love that she is trained in CPR and First-Aid. She is a great dog walker and a great person.”

“What's the sign that you've found the perfect dogwalker? Your pooch races to the door when she hears the dogwalker coming -- and comes home from their adventures together and immediately needs a long nap. :)

Our cockapoo has been doing pack walks with Kira for almost a year, and it's been such a win/win for our family. Kira always puts the dogs' safety first -- but then her next focus is FUN! And it takes just one quick skim of her Instagram account to see how much fun these lucky dogs have with her. This is not just a boring city pack walk with the dogs on a bunch of leashes. Kira takes her packs to wide open spaces (and water) so they safely can run free, chase each other, splash, frolic, and basically have the time of their lives.

And she's really accommodating when it comes to adding in additional walks when needed or overnight boarding. We're so glad that we found her -- she's a gem!”
