Pet care experience

Waggish Dog Whisperer

If your dog needs a friend for when you can't be there, I'll be there! I have grown up with dogs and currently have a havanese mix rescued from the streets of West Philly and an adopted jackhuahua. I also have experience working with shelter dogs at the SPCA and have fostered a staffordshire terrier. Dogs are cherished family members and deserve to be treated as such. I can provide that care for your loved ones when you cannot be there. If supplemental dog training is what you need, I can help with that as well! Why I love dogs I was born into a house full of dogs and have loved them since I was able to interact with them. My mom and I lived with my grandparents who had German shepherds and cocker spaniels.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I require a meet and greet for all new clients. The care I will provide for your pets will be determined based on details and information provided at that time. The basics such as potty breaks and fresh water are provided at each visit. Whatever I can fit into the scheduled 30 or 60 minute visits beyond that (such as play time and enrichment) are included. I have a variety of puzzle toys and other fun stuff that I can bring with me if you think your pets would be interested! I have experience with dogs with anxiety and other behavioral issues, so please reach out. Additional fees may apply depending on the level of attention needed.

Kendra is always so great with our dogs. She gets their idiosyncrasies and manages all their routines.

House Sitting • Jul 17, 2026

Kendra is an absolute twenty thumbs up dog sitter. Kept us up to date on all the goings on with our sweet pup. She sent amazing photos that kept us laughing and smiling. Communication was stellar, house was perfect when we got home, care was top notch, and that’s for a dog who has four very specific meals each day and a lot of quirks. Kendra gets a full scale recommendation from us!

Kendra did an absolutely wonderful job and went above & beyond walking our pack twice a day while I was away on a business trip. She was attentive to each of our dog's personalities and my instructions, communicated concerns when she had them, and sent the most delightful stories & photos. It made my trip so much easier knowing our dogs were in great hands. Highly recommend and will use again.

Schedule

Most of my other work is done remotely, so I am generally quite flexible with times. Late night drop-ins are no problem and my weekends are often spent caring for dogs and cats. I am sometimes able to offer hikes for dogs when my schedule and plans permit.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Kendra can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
How is the dog with new people? Is he or she friendly with other dogs? Should I bring treats for the initial greeting? What cues do you use with your dogs? I love all dogs; big dogs and pit bulls have a special spot in my heart, but I enjoy being around any breed.
