Granesha Keena, always knew she wanted to work with animals, “I wanted to be a vet but didn’t want to be in debt.” So, it’s fitting that she would end up opening Khalifa’s House in Bushwick. 

Keena was working a corporate job in Chicago when she came up with the idea to start her own dog walking business. “I was researching feasible businesses with low start-up costs when I was living in Chicago and then I came across dog walking. Funny enough, the founder and CEO named the business after her cat.” 

Since 2015 Khalifa’s House has offered professional dog walking, pet sitting and training services to Bushwick and surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods. Now, they’ll be adding a doggy daycare to their resume and have set up shop at 578 Bushwick Ave.
