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 did a great job at checking in on my cats while I was out of town. She communicated well and sent updates each day. I would definitely book again in the future!

Kena is fantastic! She’s clearly very comfortable with large dogs and handled my 100lb Doberman shepherd with ease, a calm demeanor, and gentle confidence. I really appreciate her professionalism, punctuality, and great communication too! You can tell she’s very experienced with dogs and dog behaviors and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pup in her capable hands at the off leash dog park, knowing that her sense for behaviors and how to interact with them would keep him safe. Will definitely be booking with Kena again!
