Highlights
Pet care experience
Woof palace welcomes you!
What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has been part of my life for a long time. I’ve been around dogs since I was about 8 years old, have had two dogs previously, and currently have two large, friendly dogs who are very social, playful, and have great temperaments. I’ve also fostered dogs for rescue organizations several times, which has given me experience welcoming dogs I barely knew into my home and helping them feel safe and comfortable for weeks at a time. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, especially when they’re in a new environment. Our home is very dog-friendly, with a large, fully fenced backyard and plenty of room to play. I’ve even been mindful about avoiding plants in our yard that could be harmful or cause issues for dogs. My own dogs love having four-legged visitors, so for a social pup, staying with me may feel a little like their own vacation! Safety is also very important to me. I pay close attention to each dog’s needs and behavior, and we live close to emergency veterinary care should an unexpected situation ever arise. Most importantly, your dog won’t just be staying somewhere, they’ll be welcomed into my home and treated like part of the family.

Ratings and reviews
From the moment I met Balaji and his family almost 6 years ago I could tell that he was an animal lover. Balaji is the best dog “dad.” From my yard next door I have witnessed first hand the great home he provides to his 2 dogs as well as the many foster dogs who have had the good fortune to make his home a temporary foster home on the way to their forever homes. His dogs are truly part of the family, going on vacation with them, playing in the yard and going on many walks around the neighborhood. He and his daughter love saying hello to the many dogs in the neighborhood and you can see how much his own dogs love him. I would without hesitation recommend Balaji to care for your pets.
Balaji Kenneth is an exceptional dog sitter and someone I would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking for loving and dependable care for their pet. What truly stands out about Balaji is the genuine care and affection he has for dogs. He is responsible, patient, attentive, and incredibly trustworthy. You can tell that caring for dogs is much more than just a service for him—it’s something he genuinely enjoys. He takes the time to understand each dog’s personality, needs, and routine, and he makes sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. His calm and caring nature gives you complete peace of mind while your pet is in his care. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family and give them plenty of attention, care, and love, I highly recommend Balaji Kenneth. Your furry companion will be in wonderful hands!
My dog has stayed with Balaji multiple times and always had an absolute blast! Balaji's own two dogs kept mine great company. The massive yard gives them so much room to run and play. Throughout each stay, he sent us regular photo updates. He has years of experience caring for dogs. I trust Balaji completely with my dog and highly recommend booking with him!
We have been neighbors with Balaji for 6 years. In this time I have watched him foster several dogs and give them the utmost loving care and attention. I see him walking his two dogs- Pepper and Daisy daily and taking them in the car for rides. My own dogs go crazy at the window every time they see Balaji outside bc he is known to give them treats and lots of scratches. There have been a few times we have asked Balaji to care for our dogs while we've been gone and he's cared for them like his own. I cannot recommend Balaji more highly to care for anybody else's animals. He is very trustworthy.

Schedule
Fur baby care is already a natural and essential part of my everyday routine. I work remotely from home and have two big dog babies of my own, so I’m able to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I walk my dogs at least once a day and enjoy keeping them active, so I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, and other activities based on your dog’s needs and energy level. Pets are truly part of the family in our home, and their comfort, safety, and happiness are always a priority. My family (especially my 10 yr old daughter) tends to get attached to the dogs I care for pretty quickly, so you can expect your dog to be treated with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, dogs are generally welcome throughout the house, including on furniture, but I’m also happy to follow your household rules so they don’t pick up any new habits that you’d rather not continue at home. I also have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and exercise. I can provide a crate if your dog is crate-trained or simply feels more secure having their own space. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and, if needed, can transport your pet for veterinary or emergency medical care. I can also provide bathing and brushing as an additional service. Most importantly, I’ll follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and any special needs so your pet receives consistent, personalized care.

I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely enjoy outdoor time, play, and exercise. I love walking them around the neighborhood and if weather is great, walk them in one of the nearby trails.
