Where Dog People Connect With Dog Property
More than listings—it’s a place where passion meets opportunity, bringing together the people and properties that shape the future of pet care.
Less Hassle. More Results.
At Kennel Connect, we believe that finding or selling a kennel property shouldn’t be complicated, stressful, or time-consuming. We created Kennel Connect in 2020 with a simple purpose: to bridge the gap between passionate dog people and the properties that make their work possible.
After nearly two decades immersed in the dog world—spanning professional veterinary care, kennel management, exhibiting across the country, and pet care entrepreneurship—we noticed a persistent problem. Too many kennel properties were sitting on the market, unseen by the right buyers. And too many buyers had no idea where to begin their search. We knew there had to be a better way.
So we built it.
Today, Kennel Connect has grown into the world’s largest kennel property network, helping thousands of buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals connect with ease, confidence, and a shared commitment to dogs.

Our Story
When the world changed in 2020, I found myself reflecting on what truly mattered. For me, that was dogs — and the incredible community of people who devote their lives to them. What began as a small side project during Covid has grown into a nationwide resource that thousands of pet professionals rely on every day.
As a preservation breeder and lifelong exhibitor who’s been active in dog shows across the country for over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the most passionate, responsible people in the pet-care world. With a background in business and hands-on experience in veterinary care, I understand what it takes to build something meaningful.
Kennel Connect was founded on those same values — professionalism, integrity, and genuine care — to create a trusted space where kennel-property buyers, sellers, and professionals can connect with confidence.
I’m a driven entrepreneur, always exploring new ways to strengthen our industry, support its people, and make the process better for those chasing their own kennel dreams. The people I help fuel my passion and remind me every day why this work matters.
Today, Kennel Connect is far more than a platform for listings — it’s a vibrant, supportive community redefining what’s possible in the kennel-property and pet-care industry. I’m so glad you’re part of it!
