Introduction: 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!

Kendra was amazing with both of our dogs during the week of Thanksgiving. We have a senior that is almost 16yrs old and a 3yr old malamute that is high energy. Kendra did everything possible to make sure they were comfortable, exercised (walked our malamute several times a day), and fed properly. She was very communicative and sent us pictures daily to give us a peace of mind. She always asked good questions if needed. We are blessed that we found such a wonderful/caring in-home dog sitter. We would totally trust her with our 2 dogs next time around. We came back to a clean home and happy pups. Thank you so much Kendra!

You can see immediately how much Kendra loves animals. It was such a relief to know she's concerned about their well being while I'm gone.

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.
