Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care like family—with patience, respect, and lots of love. You can count on me to stick to your pet’s routine, keep a close eye on their behavior, and communicate with you every step of the way. I always ensure your pet is in a secure environment—whether we’re at home, on a walk, or in the yard. I'm attentive to their body language, needs, and comfort level, and I never take chances when it comes to their well-being.

A typical day
I love keeping pets active and happy! For dogs, I’ll take them on walks, play fetch, tug-of-war, or even go on little adventures around the neighborhood. For cats, I bring out the toys, lasers, and give them plenty of playtime and cuddles. I always match their energy — whether they’re playful or just want some company.

Pet care experience
Hi there! I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life—whether it’s family pets, friends' dogs and cats, or neighborhood pups who needed a walk while their owners were away. I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, loving, and patient looking after your furry family members. I’ve worked with pets of all sizes, ages, and energy levels—from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to provide safe, attentive, and personalized care.
Reviews
I was in a pinch – the pet sitter I had booked nearly 2 months before my trip canceled just two weeks before, and even though Kenny had some very important personal issues to take care of, he still stepped up and helped cover for two days. He took great care of Otis the dog and my cute little old kitty, Tommy. Would definitely hire him again! Easy communication – always texts back quickly. Great guy!
Kenny has been wonderful with my animals! I have a large six-year-old hound mix and a fragile 13-year-old cat, and Kenny has taken excellent care of them on three separate occasions when I’ve gone out of town. He’s been kind enough to stay at my residence anywhere from 3 to 6 days at a time, following the animals routines and giving them lots of love along the way. He’s easily reachable by phone and text if needed, and incredibly friendly and respectful to work with. He’s always welcome back to take care of my animals!
