Fun & Reliable Animal Lover

Hi there! I’m Kenya, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot fur babies of all sizes. Whether it’s a snuggly couch companion or an energetic pup who loves long walks, I tailor my care to meet your pet’s unique needs. I have experience with dogs, cats, and even small animals, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail oriented. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of pictures and notes so you never feel far from your pet while you’re away. Whether it’s drop ins, walks, or overnight stays, I bring patience, playfulness, and genuine love to every visit. Let’s chat and see how I can help give your pets the care they deserve while giving you peace of mind! Please don’t hesitate to ask about pricing as often times I am willing to negotiate pricing depending on circumstances! Message me the code “PUPS” for $20 off your first service🖤

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure each pet’s environment is secure, clean, and free from hazards, whether I’m in my own home or a client’s. I carefully follow any specific instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medication, or behavioral needs. Whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I create a calm, reassuring environment so pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. I also pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health and notify the owner promptly.

I've never felt more comfortable leaving my furry family member. Can't say enough good things about the care Kenya takes of our dog and our home.

Kenya was an incredible sitter. She treated our dogs and our home with respect and I would 100% work with her again.

Kenya stepped up in every way to manage a health crisis with our elderly dog who became very ill while we were away. She took him to the ER, managed his medications and cleaned up his messes, all while taking care of our younger dog and giving them both love and support. She was a star and brought our boy through his crisis and he is doing well now. We are so grateful, Kenya!

5 stars is not enough for Kenya! She was incredibly responsive, sent daily updates and photos, and even left my home better than she found it. When my schedule changed, she was an absolute dream to work with; flexible and understanding. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Excellent! I would have given more than 5 stars if that was an option! Kenya provided the best care to our extremely anxious dog. Her communication was regular, included pictures and was an honest account of how things were going. She also left our home tidy. We'll definitely be requesting her services again!

Kenya is, by far, the best dog sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure my dogs are comfortable and happy while I’m away, and she keeps me reassured with frequent updates. I’m often surprised to come home to a clean house, which removes one more thing from my mental load. She’s more than a dog sitter — she’s someone I truly consider a friend.

Schedule

Pet care is a consistent part of my daily routine. Every morning, I start by feeding my pet, refreshing their water, and doing a quick check to make sure shes healthy and comfortable. Throughout the day, I take time to play with her, especially during breaks or after work. It’s a good way for both of us to de-stress. In the evenings, I do a final feeding, scoop her litter box or clean up her space before bed. Weekly, I set aside time for grooming, washing their bedding, and restocking any supplies. Taking care of my cat is something I genuinely enjoy, and it helps add structure and joy to my routine.
