OUR STORY

Owner Cait Kenny was only 10 when she put up a flier at the local dry cleaners to dog sit during her summer breaks. Her love of working with animals carried over into showmanship; she trained as a dog handler and participated in junior dog shows with her German Shepherd. Cait gained more professional experience with animals working in various roles at a popular doggy daycare center in NYC handling all types of breeds, behaviors, and temperaments.

PET INSPIRED

In 2022, Cait and her husband adopted a bonded pair of Chihuahua mixes: Romey and Remy. Soon after, they learned that Romey suffered from advanced epilepsy that would need lifelong care and a disciplined medication schedule. Cait’s experience providing specialized care for her own animals inspired the RR Shepherd mission of providing customized care for other pet owners.

A TRUE PET PRO

After a decade in project management and receiving a pet sitter's certification, Cait founded RR Shepherd in June 2024 as homage to a lifetime connection to animals and to pursue a personal passion of entrepreneurship.

RR Shepherd is fully insured and certified to take care of your pets.
