Availability
My dog sleeps in my room with me, so I typically wake up early to let her outside to use the bathroom. Then, we socialize with family, and we give her treats throughout the day. She loves chasing a ball in our woodsy backyard, so I make sure to do that with her until she’s panting and thoroughly spent. She eats one bowl a day in the evening with either dried nutritional supplement or leftover dinner from a previous night (she’s spoiled!). Plenty of opportunities to go out to use the bathroom, especially before bedtime. Lots of snuggles. She currently has a lot of my time and attention as I seek full-time work, but I always make sure to let her use the bathroom before I would normally go to work. This kind of intimate care where I spend a great amount of quality time with my dog is how I like to be with pets that are in my care. Frequent check-ins as needed, if not spending a great deal of time together so the pet doesn’t feel lonely in the owner’s absence!

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Routine is essential for animals, and I try to keep a consistent one with my dog. Routine and consistency will absolutely be kept for any animals in my care. Punctuality and reliability are very important to me— as well as pets!
Information Kennedy D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there is a routine your pet lives by. Please also let me know of preferences of how to approach them, how to construct their bowl, how often they eat, etc.. If there are certain things they really do not care for/things that agitate them, please let me know of those things as well! For instance, some dogs really don’t like having their paws held (I always assume this to be the case with every dog I don’t know for my own safety).
A typical day
Walks for both dogs and cats (if applicable) can be stimulating for their instincts and their minds. Playtime is massively important for this similar reason and provides an opportunity for bonding and connection. This can be with a ball, feather on a string, a tug-of-war toy, a crinkly ball, or even just an empty cardboard box, just to name a few things. If applicable, lounging time can be fun, too. Affection/pets as allowed by the animal sort of thing.

Big bark or small? I love them all!
Pet care experience
I have lived with dogs starting at age 13 and been a part of raising 3 dogs in all the time since then. I pay special attention to a dog’s needs, having participated in both puppy training and frequent monitoring and potty breaks/clean up for senior dogs. I go as far as picking a dog up off the ground if no paw slips are available during sweltering conditions! My dog experience has been within the 40-70 pound range, but I can only walk a dog up to 40 pounds (unless the large dog is off-leash trained/VERY focused on their walker and doesn’t pull). Playtime is something I value in providing dogs as a form of both physical exercise and mental enrichment. I provide updates and pictures to both showcase my accountability/standards and give an owner peace of mind while their pets are under my supervision. I follow any instructions and preferences provided by an owner very closely, making sure to review them before service is provided. The trust of an owner and their pet(s) are of utmost importance to me to respect and earn. I am very excited to work with more owners and animals! Thank you for reading!

Reviews
Kennedy has been wonderful with my dogs Charlie and Zoey. When she met them, she was slow and gentle and held out her hand to let them sniff her, showing that she respects their boundaries and understands their body language. She only started petting them once they were 100% comfortable with it. Charlie has always had severe anxiety, and can be wary of new people, but she made him feel safe and earned his trust. Now he always runs to the door to greet her and feels very comfortable with her in our home. Kennedy is very sweet and loving with my other dog as well, Zoey. Zoey was born with a condition that left her with a cognitive disability, which made it more difficult to care for her. Kennedy understood and was always patient with her, never raising her voice but instead gently guiding her. She’s very responsible when caring for them, always making sure they had plenty of food and water and taking them on walks frequently. I believe she would make a wonderful pet sitter.
Kennedy conveys a love and understanding for all animals! She exhibits great care and compassion. If you need a trustworthy companion for your pet, look no further.
