About
We're a loving team of three (with 20+ years of combined experience) that offers walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for all animals! Language of Animals was founded in 2018 after Kendra (the owner) started volunteering at a local animal shelter in the cattery, where she attended to 50+ cats in a sitting. After that, she decided to share her passion all over the St.Pete/Tampa Bay Area and has cared for dogs (large and small breeds), cats, bearded dragons, monkeys, fish, and peacocks! Our care team includes Kendra, Audrey, and Rahim! To learn more about us, please visit the About page on our website. From medicine administration and behavior management to walking and playtime - we are committed to ensuring your pet's well-being. We know how important your animal's mental, physical, and emotional well-being is to them and you. We take pride in the safety, attention, and love that We put into caring for your furry family member. Can't wait to meet you!

For the most part, they followed instructions. There was one item that we asked to be done throughout the trip which was feeding the senior cat fussy cat, which wasn’t done, but other than that they followed instructions. They’re great if you need someone in an emergency situation!

Details: Cat • 6 pets or more • Giving food and water • Providing companionship • Dispensing medication • Short visit (30 minutes) • My home, venue, etc.

Language of Animals's reply
Thank you so much for the 4-star review, Jessica! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Regarding the concern about the senior cat’s feeding - it sounds like there may have been a miscommunication on our end. We followed your instructions for the cats - providing the wet food as specified, keeping the dry food bowl filled daily, replenishing water and making sure one of the cats got her lickables on the paper plate triangles just as you outlined. We want to make sure we’re providing the best care possible, so we’ll be sure to give more detailed updates during future visits to keep you informed about each cat’s eating habits and overall well-being. If we misunderstood any part of the feeding routine, we’d be happy to discuss this further to ensure we’re completely aligned for any future services. We also want to acknowledge that while you initially provided incorrect dates for the pet sitting, we were happy to accommodate our schedules last minute once we sorted out the confusion to make sure your cats were still properly cared for. We’re always willing to be flexible when possible to ensure your pets don’t go without care. Thank you for noting our responsiveness and punctuality - that means a lot to us as pet care professionals. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to clarify anything for future visits!

FAQs

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    When someone connects with us, we follow up via phone, email, or text to learn more about the animals and when they need care. After that, we schedule a meet-and-greet to get to know each other and ensure a great fit.

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    Language of Animals was founded after Kendra (owner) started volunteering in their cattery at a local animal shelter. It was here that she realized my desire to do this on a larger scale for more people and pets while serving as an advocate for the well-being of animals.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    We have worked with humans going on short—and long-term trips (2+ weeks) or people needing extra hands throughout the day. We've also worked with cats, rabbits, monkeys, dogs (small and large breeds), hamsters, peacocks, fish, and bearded dragons! We also have experience caring for animals who are older or have disabilities.
