Kin Talk — the nightly show for people whose pets are family. Because they're more than pets — they're Kin.
Join hosts Maya and Dev every night for real conversations about the Kinsle features changing pet care: lost pet alerts, transferable profiles, care teams, and the stories behind them — plus a rotating expert guest who actually knows the science. Twice a week, Kinsle founder LaGarrick Gantt stops by with his Founder's Take.
20–30 minutes a night. Made for pet lovers, by pet lovers. New episodes daily.
A pet boutique owner searches for her own shop one Tuesday morning, coffee in hand, just to see what the world sees. And the world shows her a page she never built. Her shop's name, her town, what her shop does, how to reach her, on KinsLe. Welcome to the shortcut of Kintak. I am Dev. And I'm Maya. Tonight, the KinsLe directory in about five minutes. K-I-N-S-L-E. KinsLe. I'm Holly. I run a pet bakery and boutique, and I'm a voiced character on this show, created from the experience of real independent pet business owners. My first reaction to that page was suspicion. Who listed my shop and what is the catch? I clicked braced for one. There was not one. Here's the headline. The KinsLe directory lives on KinsLe.com.
On the open web, no app and no account required. Every pet business in it has its own page. With its name, its city and state, its category, and a way to reach it, a phone number or its website. And tonight, 29,092 of those pages are live, nationwide. Groomers, veterinarians, daycares, borders, trainers, walkers, breeders, and shops like Holly's. Not a directory of big chains with a few independence sprinkled in. The whole pet neighborhood of a town, written down in one public place. Like the map, every pet owner already carries in their head, finally drawn. I started clicking from my own page. My groomer friend, two doors down, a page. The daycare across town, a page. The vet everybody on my block uses, a page.
Then a family who had moved to town on Friday walked in Saturday morning and said, we found you last night sitting on the floor of an empty house with a carcic beagle who would not eat. They had searched, and my page was simply there. That is what this is. A stranger in a strange town, on the worst week of their dog's year, finds the neighborhood before the neighborhood knows they arrived. Two details make it more than a list. Some pages carry a verified badge, so you know the business has been checked, and it is really them. And every single business page carries an Ask KinsLe band, so you can ask a question right there on the page, at 9.40 at night, when calling feels like too much, and the question will not wait until morning.
And the directory braids into the whole KinsLe story. It is the public front door. Behind it, sit the business's own profile and the console from our episodes 9 and 10, the website that fills itself in. Behind that, the profile your pet carries, the lost pet alert, the circle of love answers, free in every profile, and the businesses in this directory are part of that circle. The people most likely to spot a lost dog on a street they know by heart. One neighborhood, one map, one safety net. From behind my counter, the sentence is simple. My shop was already somebody's answer. The directory just makes sure the stranger who needs us can find us, two streets away, instead of never knowing we were there. And it is a free service KinsLe gives out.
Be found first. Be found for free. KinsLe is opening soon. Join the wait list tonight at KinsLe.com and the wait list hears the date first. Then search your own town in the directory and go find your people. And the full episode, about 25 minutes of it, with Holly's whole Tuesday and the honest round of hard questions is in this feed right below. I am Dev. I am Maya. This is Kin Talk. They are more than pets. They are kin.
