Availability

I operate on a highly reliable corporate hybrid schedule during the week and am completely off on weekends, offering a fantastic, predictable routine for your pets. Monday – Wednesday (Office Days): I commute via a structured carpool out of the Kirkland Park and Ride (leaving at 6:40 AM and returning around 4:00 PM). For Boarding and House Sitting, this beautifully mirrors a standard professional workday rest cycle. For Drop-Ins, my availability on these days is strictly for dedicated afternoon and evening visits —ideal for dinner feedings and bedtime routines. Thursday – Friday (Remote Work Days): I work entirely from home. Your pet enjoys flexible care windows, a quiet environment to relax while I work, and frequent potty breaks every 1–2 hours. Saturday – Sunday (Completely Off): I do not work on weekends! This means my schedule is entirely free to focus on your pet, providing full-time companionship, extra long walks, and completely uninterrupted attention. Note for House-Sitting: As long as your home has reliable Wi-Fi, I can seamlessly work from your space on Thursday and Friday. While I may occasionally step out for quick weekend errands or a workout, your pet's established schedule is always my absolute priority.

Safety, trust & environment

To guarantee absolute safety, peace of mind, and undivided attention, I strictly enforce a "one-family-at-a-time" policy for all overnight services and day care. When caring for your pet, I treat your home and your animals with the utmost respect, as if they were my own. I am completely dedicated to maintaining your exact house rules and routines. If you are actively working on puppy training, specific commands, crate routines, or strict boundaries (like staying off the furniture), I will reinforce that structure seamlessly. Before any booking begins, I love to get a thorough run-down of your preferences, expectations, and your pet's unique history so we can ensure a flawless transition.

Information Kendra D. would like to know about your pet

To help me provide the safest, most comfortable, and highest-quality care possible, please share a few details about your pet ahead of time: Routines: What is their exact feeding, walking, and potty schedule? Personality & Comfort: What do they love or hate? (e.g., specific toys, belly rubs, treats, or needing personal space). Health & Medical: Do they have general or separation anxiety? Do they require oral medications? Social Boundaries: Are they leash-reactive or aggressive? How do they behave around other dogs or strangers? Home Environment: What kind of environment or setup do they thrive in most at home?

A typical day

A typical day with me is highly structured, active, and tailored entirely to your pet's energy levels. On my home-based days and weekends, we enjoy long, refreshing walks through the neighborhood or visits to local trails, weather permitting. If your dog thrives on high-energy play and fetching at the park, I am fully equipped to provide that daily exercise. If they prefer a quieter, cozy day lounging inside and cuddling while I work, I match my energy completely to their personality. No matter their style, plenty of physical engagement, mental stimulation, and thorough photo updates are guaranteed throughout the day!

To ensure absolute safety and focused, individualized attention, I strictly host pets from only one family at a time. I am highly reliable, comfortable with high-energy dogs, and ready to maintain your exact house rules and training structures seamlessly.

Kendra watched our one year old dog, Ivy, and are super happy with how it went! We got daily updates from Kendra, and she followed Ivy’s routine very well. When we got home, Ivy looked very comfortable and relaxed. Definitely going to be having Kendra help us more in the future!

Kendra was excellent during her stay with our dog Jackson, taking great care of him and providing updates for us on a regular basis. When Jackson got a bit sick unexpectedly, Kendra went above and beyond with cleanup and was extremely helpful overall.
