Your pup’s home away from home!

Hi there! I’m a total people person with a heart that easily extends to pups of all sizes! I’ve been working as an Autism Specialist since I was 19, so patience, intuition, and building strong, trusting connections are truly my superpowers. I like to say I have that special energy humans and dogs both adore! For the past 7 years, I’ve been dog sitting for families in and around my neighborhood, as well as my parents’ neighborhood, caring for their fur babies like they’re my own. I understand how important it is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live in a spacious 2bedroom apartment with a spare room that gives pups plenty of indoor space to play and relax. Our complex also has lots of grassy areas perfect for fresh air, potty breaks, and nice walks. Whether your dog loves a structured routine, playtime, or cozy cuddle sessions, I’m happy to meet their needs! I’m reliable, communicative, and naturally attentive. and I genuinely get excited to host and care for pups in my home. Your dog’s happiness and well being will always be my priority. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! 🐶✨

Kendal was so great with Raven and very easy to work with. She got Raven to relax and cuddle by day 2 of knowing her which is a huge deal for our anxious little rescue baby!

I was very pleased with the care my dog received from Kendal. I would definitely use her again and recommend her to family or friends.

I have had the absolute pleasure of having Kendal take care of my dog, Tyson, while I was away on vacation, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment I first connected with her, it was clear that she has a genuine love for animals and a deep sense of responsibility when it comes to their care. Leaving your pet with someone else can always feel a little nerve-wracking, but Kendal made the entire experience completely stress-free. Tyson can be a pretty particular dog. He has his own personality, routines, and even a few food sensitivities and allergies that require careful attention. Kendal handled all of that with such thoughtfulness and professionalism. She took the time to learn Tyson’s needs in detail, asked great questions, and made sure she fully understood his diet and what foods or treats to avoid. Knowing that she was attentive to his allergies and sensitivities gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Beyond being responsible and attentive, Kendal is incredibly loving and playful with Tyson. It was obvious from the updates she sent that he absolutely adored spending time with her. She made sure he got plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection, and it truly showed in how relaxed and happy he looked. Tyson is a dog who thrives on attention and interaction, and Kendal gave him exactly that. Seeing him so engaged and joyful reassured us that he wasn’t just being watched — he was genuinely being cared for and loved. One of the things I appreciated the most was how communicative Kendal was throughout our trip. She regularly sent photo and video updates so we could see how Tyson was doing. Those little check-ins meant the world to me. Whether it was a video of them playing together, a photo of Tyson relaxing after a walk, or a quick message about how his day was going, it made us feel connected and reassured the entire time we were away. It’s such a thoughtful touch that really sets Kendal apart. Kendal is also extremely reliable and organized. She followed Tyson’s routine perfectly and made sure he stayed comfortable in his normal environment. You can tell she takes her role seriously and truly understands how important consistency is for pets. When I returned home, Tyson was happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. What really stands out about Kendal is the combination of professionalism and genuine warmth she brings to pet care. She doesn’t just “watch” your dog — she builds a relationship with them. Tyson clearly felt safe, comfortable, and loved with her, which is the best thing any pet owner could ask for. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy, attentive, loving, and incredibly responsible with animals, Kendal is truly amazing. I feel so lucky to have found her, and Tyson can’t wait for his next stay with her! I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

I’ve trusted Kendal to watch my dogs, Munchie and Prince, and she did an amazing job. She’s very attentive, responsible, and clearly loves being around animals. My dogs were comfortable with her right away, and I could tell they were well taken care of while I was away. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were with someone dependable and kind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Kendal has been my go-to dog sitter for vacations and weekend getaways for the past three years! I have both a teacup Yorkie and a pitbull, and she does an amazing job managing the dynamic between my small, yappy pup and my calm big dog. Kendal is incredibly flexible, reliable, and clearly loves what she does. I always feel at ease leaving my dogs with her, knowing they’re in great hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Kendal is the best! She’s very attentive and the sweetest person. We’ve used her for both daycare and boarding, and my pup gets excited as soon as we get close to her place because he already knows where he’s going and that he’s going to have a great time! Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every dog like they’re my own, keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. I provide plenty of supervised playtime, structured walks, potty breaks, and cozy rest time in a safe, calm environment. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and playful or prefer quiet cuddles and relaxation.

A typical day

When pets stay with me, they’re treated like part of the family! We’ll spend time going on fun neighborhood walks, exploring the grassy areas around my complex, and getting plenty of fresh air and exercise. I also love playtime so whether that’s tossing a ball, tug-of-war with your pups favorite toy, or just running around and letting them get their zoomies out, I love it all. Inside, there’s lots of cuddle time, belly rubs, and relaxed hangouts so they feel comfortable and at home. I always adjust activities based on each dog’s personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or more laid back and love lounging. My goal is to make sure they’re happy, stimulated, and feel safe while you’re away!
