About: I have had the opportunity to care for young puppies and elderly dogs over the last three years. Both ends of the spectrum require different levels of care, but more importantly, it requires love and patience. I am able to go for as many walks as needed, administer pain and behavioral medications, or just snuggle on the couch. I would be able to stop by for pet care in the morning before 9AM, during my lunch break around 1PM, and then after 5PM. All animals are on different schedules, but my flexibility hopefully will mesh with yours! I would first like to meet your animal before officially becoming their sitter. I want them to become acclimated with me and see if we would respond well to each other, especially with me entering into their home. For dogs, I can administer medications, go on walks, observe back yard play (if applicable) and provide them with all the food and treats they’re allowed. For cats, I can scoop and deeply clean litter, brush and maintain their fur if needed, and again, provide all the food and treats! Both also deserve some indoor play time as well, so more then happy to participate in play time
“Caiti was a amazing pet sitter for our kitties! We only needed her to feed them for one day but she made the process so easy. She is great with communication and even sent us pictures of our cats! It was a very nice surprise. I highly recommend her to care for your pets while you are away. Thanks again, Caiti! We really appreciate your service. ??”
About: 2+ years kennel experience. Including but not limited to, walking, bathing, feeding and giving any oral medication. Since working there I have been a pet sitter for many of my friends and family. I love caring for all animals of any size! I am currently available on WEEKENDS and 5pm - 8pm weekdays. I will care and love your pups and/ or kitties, like my own, during our walks and/or visits! My pups and I are lucky enough to have a fenced in yard of our own to play in, but at least once a day I like to take them for a walk. I will care for your pet however they need to be tended to. Whether that’s playing outside, walking them or just keeping them company inside. I can assure that you and your pet will be happy and satisfied at the end of our visit.

“This past summer, our cat Augie had a medical emergency while under Kenedy's care (to no fault of theirs). Kenedy acted swiftly and thoughtfully in responding to Augie's needs. They were communicative and professional from start to finish. My partner and I are incredibly grateful for Kenedy being there and catching this issue before it progressed. Augie made a quick recovery and it was all due to Kenedy's quick response. I highly recommend Kenedy for all pet-sitting jobs.”
