I work in education and grew up with dogs in my family. Since high school and college, I have been dog/pet sitting for different families. I have experience with all different sizes and breeds of dogs all the way from a yorkie to a mastiff. I am adaptable to meet the needs of the pet and care for the pet like they are my own. I am comfortable staying with the pet or doing drop ins. My schedule fluctuates but can be adaptable.

So appreciate Lucas for his attentiveness while my pup was under the weather and flexibility as my travel plans got derailed!

Hello! My name is Kennedy, or Ken for short! I am 26 years old and am an elder sister to four younger siblings, who now range from age 12 to 18. I have helped in caring for each of them since I was 12 years old. This has included picking and dropping them off at school, preparing meals, bathing, preparing for bedtime, playing board games, and other fun activities! Outside of my personal experience, I have volunteered for childcare at different organizations in my community as well. I am a recent college graduate with a degree in Psychology and Behavioral Health Studies, and I have experience in studying adolescence and childhood development alongside my hands-on experience. In addition to growing up with many siblings, I also have experience in caring for a broad range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and bearded dragons! I can also provide aid with basic household chores as well. I love working with kids and getting to play again as an adult! Some of my interests include reading, yoga, exploring the outdoors, crocheting, and making jewelry. I currently work as a barista in the mornings and volunteer at a mental health clinic in the afternoons, so my availability is mostly in the evenings, though I am willing to find flexibility on days when I can! I would love to speak more to see if I would be a good fit for you :)

With over 20 years of experience in child care, I bring a warm, reliable, and professional presence to every family I work with. My background includes years as a nanny, teacher, after-school and summer program director, and behavior interventionist. I’ve cared for children of all ages—from infants to teens—and pride myself on creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment. Currently, I work as a Juvenile Probation Officer with DCYF, where I support youth and families with care, structure, and empathy. I understand the importance of consistency, communication, and trust when caring for children. I’m also happy to care for your furry family members—I’m a responsible and loving pet caregiver with experience handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. Whether you need part-time care, after-school help, or an occasional sitter, I’d love to support your family’s needs.
