WELCOME.
Kira and Friends.
We love your dog.

Hello, I am Lisa, owner of Kira & Friends dog walking service in the Orpington area. Let me and my expert team exercise your pet for you. More

Our Services

Kira & Friends offer dog walking for customers in the Orpington area of London. Before we take your pet on the first walk we come to your house to meet you and your dog. This allows us to understand your needs and get to know the animal. We discuss any special issues your dog may have such as health requirements or injuries as well as it’s sociability with others. We discuss any other special requests you may have and will advise you of cost and our terms of service (such as insurance etc).

Expert team
Our expert team of animal loving walkers are fully trained to manage a group of dogs. We never walk more than four dogs with one walker at any one time. Our skilled dog walkers have detailed knowledge of the environments (our local beautiful parks and woods) that we carefully select for walking and these are varied on each trip to keep the walks fun and interesting for your pet. Our walks are generally longer than most dog walking companies at one and a half hours. We feel this time allows the dogs a better experience. Kira & Friends dog walking team maintain close attention and control of all pets in our care whilst walking and will always clean up all mess in a responsible manner.

Bespoke services
We are always keen to satisfy our clients needs and are very happy to deliver bespoke services if requested, such as individual walking of your pet , longer or shorter walks, specific walking times, or other needs if required, for a small premium.

Our dog boarding is in our Orpington base. We have considered this service very carefully and only offer a small number of places. We feel this is best for pets and their owners. By housing only a small number of pets we can offer top class service, pets have close attention and any issues can be identified early. We will feed*, groom and maintain any health issues or particular needs as requested. *All supplies (food vitamins etc) and walks are of course available for your boarded pet as an extra service.

Our service
We will pre-vet dogs for home boarding to make sure they are happy to be away from home and that theirs and the owners requirements are fully understood. Boarding your dog with Kira & Friends means the best care and attention from the time we accept your dog until we return them to you happy, healthy and full of fun.

Our pet groomer has several years of experience working on many dogs.

Grooming outline
Customers can of course request particular services but as a general rule our grooming will consist of the following:

  • brushing and combing to free the coat from knots
  • bath your dog in the most suitable top quality shampoo – to enhance the health, condition, texture and colour of the coat
  • groom and style appropriately to their lifestyle or customer’s preference
  • hand stripping available for wire-coated breeds
  • nails cut and feet trimmed
  • ears cleaned and hair is removed from inside if necessary
    On a healing level Kira & Friends also offer Animal Reiki Treatments. Reiki , pronounced ‘Ray-Key’, is an early Japanese Healing System discovered in the early 1900’s by a Japanese Buddhist Monk called Mikao Usui.
    Reiki means ‘spiritual life-force energy’ When you are connected to this loving energy during a Reiki treatment it gently flows through you initiating your body’s own natural ability to heal itself and re-balance. Reiki releases energy blockages and allows your life-force to flow freely.
    There are no contrainditions for Reiki so this treatment is suitable for everyone including pregnant women, children, babies and even pets.
    During this gentle meditation, Reiki promotes calm and deep relaxation to maintain the wellbeing of healthy pets. For those with disease and other health conditions, in post-operative recovery, following emotional trauma, abuse, neglect and depression Reiki is a compassionate healer.
    In end of life situations Reiki beautifully supports and comforts animals as they prepare to transition. Reiki is a pure, non-invasive healing technique that helps to rebalance physical, mental and emotional health. When these elements are in balance we are at our best. Reiki energy goes where it is needed most; it can do no harm and whatever the situation healing will always occur on some level during a Reiki treatment.
