About
We're a loving team 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 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, Megan, Thi, Peggy 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 and are bonded & insured. 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!

We are really thankful to have found Kendra. She knows animals well and our cat took to her immediately. She was caring and took time with him while we were away. She went above and beyond when the AC unknowingly went out and tried to troubleshoot it herself. Fortunately we were able to get it up and running and she was sure to check in. Very trustworthy and reliable. I could sing her praises all day. We will absolutely hire Kendra again.

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.
