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.

Kena did a great job taking care of my two dogs for a few days! She was responsive, knowledgeable, and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone else looking for a sitter.

This was my first time using Rover and we will definitely be booking again with Kena. She did an amazing job! She kept me updated on our dog and sent pictures to make sure that he was okay. When we got home our little guy was tired and happy! She also helped us with the booking options. I would recommend her over and over again!

I’m going to write this review from a strictly professional view, regarding my 3 expectations regarding the agreement for drop in visits for my two dogs twice on Thursday, three times on Friday, and twice on a Saturday. The spacing on visits was based on “Kena” work schedule. There is a large window of unavailability from 6:00am to 3:00pm that is not reasonable for in home dogs and bathroom breaks. She requested 3 visits a day on Friday all that did was make the last visit because of spacing actually unnecessary. I did explain completely before she accepted the booking that the dogs may urinate or etc on the vinyl floors in a restricted are they would be housed and prepare to do cleaning as part of the agreement. Also to clean each time upon arrival if necessary. Provided adequate cleaning supplies etc to preform this. One of my dogs is diabetic and blind, insulin is very important and feeding times consistent. I came home to a variation of puddles, some very recent, some very dried up and days old, but the most frustrating was the attempt to clean was taking the mop and spreading it around the floor instead of ringing it into the bucket. This was very frustrating, minus the feeding and making sure they had water was all that seemed to get done. After arriving home from a long weekend and flying spent an hour thoroughly cleaning my floors. I have booked 6 sitters of the years all at my residence, same expectation and entirely different result. This is the only and fist time I am not leaving a tip or a grateful review. I became worried when I started receiving messages due to Kena not being there on time, very disappointed when I walked into my home when I returned Ray R.
