About Kerensa L.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs. Before caring for a pet, I connect with the client to learn more about their family member and ask questions to better understand the pet’s personality, diet, play preferences, routines, comforts, and any special needs. I respect and understand that the client is the expert on their pet and knows what is best for them, so I work hard to maintain consistency and follow their care instructions closely. In a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, familiar, and loving environment so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household expectations, while also giving pets plenty of affection, companionship, playtime, and supervision. I’m experienced caring for pets of all ages and needs, including puppies, senior pets, rescues, and animals requiring medications or more advanced care. I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, energy levels, and emotional well-being so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also love keeping pets active and engaged through walks, hikes, enrichment, grooming, and one-on-one attention. Every animal is unique, and I adapt my care style to what makes each pet feel most comfortable, secure, and loved. I also love to send photo updates to clients to help them feel reassured and comfortable while they are away from their pet.

Pet care experience
What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals of all kinds and my ability to connect with each pet individually. I grew up on a horse ranch where I trained and showed horses from a very young age. I was responsible for cleaning stalls, feeding animals, grooming, and caring for more than 20 horses daily. That experience taught me responsibility, patience, consistency, and how to read animal behavior and needs closely. I also grew up with dogs and cats and developed a special bond with them early on. Over the decades, I’ve rescued, cared for, and trained many animals, and I truly believe every pet has its own unique personality. I take time to support and nurture each one based on their individual temperament, routines, and comfort level. I’m experienced with everything from grooming, playtime, exercise, and feeding to administering medications and providing senior or high-needs care. This past year, I cared for a cat with extensive medical needs, including a feeding tube, chemotherapy treatments, sulfur baths, and IBS management. The care required a very strict around-the-clock medication and feeding schedule, and I handled it with compassion, attentiveness, and reliability. I also love being active and enjoy taking dogs on hikes and trail walks when appropriate for their energy level and needs. In addition to dogs and cats, I’ve also cared for ferrets and birds. Overall, I genuinely love animals and find a lot of joy in meeting them, building trust with them, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care.

Reviews
Excellent pet sitter! My dog absolutely loved Kerensa. Very attuned to animals, great communicator, and very responsible. My dog howls with joy to see her.
Kerensa is a terrific pet sitter we could have asked for. It is immediately obvious how much she genuinely loves and understands animals. My pets, the cats Boo and Angie and dog Zilla, absolutely adored her — and anyone with cats knows their approval means everything. Boo can be particular about people, and Angie is very much the queen of the house, but Kerensa won them both over immediately with her calm, caring energy and attention to their individual personalities. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which insured peace of mind while we were away. When I came home, all the were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. It felt like Ketensa treated them like family instead of “just pets.” Kerensa is reliable, trustworthy, compassionate, and incredibly attentive. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her to anyone looking for someone truly special to care for their animals. Zilla, Boo and Angie already can’t wait for her next visit!
Kerensa was an amazing sitter. Our puppy was so loved and cared for during the time she spent with him. She sent photos to update me, asked me questions, and followed his routine. Will definitely be using again!
I can’t recommend Kerensa enough! She is one of the most responsible, caring, and trustworthy people I know, and animals absolutely love her. She has experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including senior fur babies that require medication, extra attention, and special care. What really stands out is how patient and attentive she is — she genuinely treats every pet like her own. She is meticulous with following care instructions and makes sure pets feel comfortable and loved - she goes above and beyond every time. I would trust her completely with my pets and my home, and I know anyone who books with her will feel the same way. Your pets will be in amazing hands!
