Safety, trust & environment

I have two friendly pups of my own, who are both friendly. They are able to be separated for my reactive friends. I offer structured walks daily as well as plenty of potty breaks in the yard. I prefer all dogs to be crate trained for bed time or while I need to be out of home. I am flexible with elderly dogs who cannot crate/ dogs who can use a playpen.

Information Kena P. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your dog has any specific medications/ routine that needs to be followed as well as any behavioral issues they present!

A typical day

I love to provide dogs fulfillment during their stay with me. We try to follow routines as closely as possible, playing mind games, puzzle toys, play time with my dogs if they are dog friendly or personal play/toy time, as well as daily walk/hikes.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m kena! I am an avid dog lover who is active and adaptable. I have been a full time dog trainer for the past year after four years of mentorship’s, not to mention five years in animal care both on rover/wag/ pet sitting for family, and working as a kennel technician. I specialize in behavioral modification & service work and strive to be a safe space for you to leave your pet with. I have skills with young puppies, reactive or spunky adolescents and elderly pups.

Kena is great! The dogs loved them immediately!! I felt much safer about leaving Luna and Saru alone at home all day (and especially as a first time Rover client), knowing they’d be coming by to look after them. Thanks so much!!

This is the second time that I've used Kena's services and she's very conscientious, shows up every day...twice a day and my Murphy loves her! I appreciate that Kena can be depended on!

Kena did a great job & was very conscientious in her car of Murphy. She asked questions when needed to know something, which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her when booking another reservation!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
