Hi, there! I'm Kendall, and I offer dogwalking and overnight in home petsitting services. I've been a sitter with Rover since 2015 and have plenty of pet care experience prior. With me, you can be assured that your pets will have a safe, positive, and fun time. While you're away, I'll make sure your dog receives plenty of playful stimulation and exercise. If your pooch is more of a couch potato, that's fine too! I'll snuggle up with your pup and a good book, and make sure your time away from home is guilt- and worry-free. I've had animals all my life-- dogs, cats, small mammals, and reptiles. My family always said that I was a dog person living in a house full of cat people because I always begged for a puppy, but that's not strictly true: I love all animals! I started training dogs when I was ten years old when my parents relented and got me my first dog, a beagle pup named Allie. I use treat-based, positive reinforcement training with dogs, and I believe even old dogs can learn new tricks and good manners! My first dog sitting job was when I was thirteen, and I've been doing it ever since. I have experience with big dogs to small dogs, pitbulls to Chihuahuas, young dogs to old dogs, and I can administer medication in any form. I've fostered rescues from ACCT Philly (teaching them housetraining, crate training, and basic commands) and volunteered at other animal shelters both in Philly, and in Houston. In addition to dogs, I've cared for cats, birds, reptiles, and small mammals. The more the merrier! In short, animals and I get along great, and I believe that pet owners should be able to go on vacation, work away from home, or go to school full time without having to worry about how their animal friends are managing. Rest assured that I'll be there to keep your companions happy and healthy when you're away!
