I am a big advocate of taking Nugget with me everywhere I go if possible and at least one walk daily. Frankly, she is spoiled, and that is how I would treat your pets too! I love being around dogs and being a homebody spend lots of time with my dog or the dogs I’m taking care of. I also am adaptable and can meet any needs your dog has as long as we communicate about that beforehand. My goal is to make sure you know and feel that your dog is being taken care of, safe, and being loved on!

Information Kensington N. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requires special attention during specific activities. I need to know what makes your dog both react and help calm down. If your dog requires medication, I ask you tell me how your dog best receives it! I am comfortable with giving your dog oral medications or apply creams/ointments! I also would like to meet your dog beforehand to ensure that we are comfortable with each other (:

A typical day

On my watch, I will make sure your dog is having fun and receiving all the care for your pet needs. A walk or two is definitely included, as well as some fetch at the park or the backyard. If your dog loves cuddles, I will make sure your dog receives all the loves! If your dog gets dirty or needs to be cleaned, I can also bathe your dog at home!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am 27 and newly graduated from law school looking to take care of your furry friends to help pay off student loans. I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a little girl, and I have a border collie mix and lab of my own, Nugget and Bub. I have worked with and taken care of dogs from puppy age all the way up to senior status. There has never been a time I have not lived with dogs and can help you with house sitting/dog care, letting your dog out during the day, or dog-walking. I am also a marathon runner so if your dog does better on jogs/runs, I am happy to do that with your dog too! Feel free to reach out to me and discuss what needs you may have with your dog so we can make sure all your pet’s needs are met 😊 Extensive experience taking care of dogs in their homes and at mine. I have experience dropping in and staying at people’s homes ensuring their pets are well taken care of. I make sure their food and/or medications are given to them properly and they receive outdoor time and exercise. I can also make sure plants and mail are taken care of as well. If you have other types of pets in the home, we can discuss care for them as well. Dog walking- I am comfortable taking your dogs on walks around the neighborhood or on local trails. I have walked many dogs with leashes, harnesses, and easy-walkers. I am able to use any of these types of equipment with your dogs. Before I take your pet on a walk, I ask that you communicate with me any behaviors your dog may exhibit on walks or around other dogs I should know before I take them out. I have also trained my own dog. While I do not offer training, if you are working on a skill, I am happy to follow the method you are using with your dog. Thank you for your consideration ☺️

Kensington was great! She communicated with us, sent pictures and took great care of our pups while we were gone. The pups were happy when we got home, we couldn’t ask for more. We definitely will reach out to Kensington again.

Kenzi was great! My dog warmed up to her very quickly and she is normally very skittish. Kenzi communicated regularly with pictures and updates and was prompt. She left my home in perfect condition and I came home to a happy pooch. Will definitely use Kenzi again!
