Pet care experience

Close to park - here for your pets!

Hi, I’m Kendra! I work full-time from home, and am open to house sitting and dog/cat boarding any time. I grew up with all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, cows, and miniature horses (if you can count the last two as pets). I currently live in a large studio apartment on the Upper West Side, about a 5-minute walk from Central Park. As an avid runner, I'm happy to take your dogs for as many walks or runs as they need. Before New York I lived in London and worked in Washington, D.C., where I often looked after my friends' and coworkers' pets. I love looking after both dogs and cats, and I hope to take good care of yours. There are currently no other pets in my apartment. Let me know if you have any questions!

Kendra took wonderful care of my fur baby Chloe. I had a last minute trip and she quickly confirmed her availability and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend her!

We left our poodle with this sitter for 3 nights, and everything went great. We felt completely calm the entire time, which was the most important thing for us. Our dog was comfortable and relaxed, and he’s always happy to come back. Highly recommend!

Schedule

I work remotely from home, so I am able to take as many breaks for walks and play as necessary. I’ve been known to take Zoom calls with dogs (and cats) on my lap :)

Your pet will have full range of my studio, which is pretty large for a New York apartment. I keep the windows closed for safety and pets are always allowed on the bed.

We can take walks in Central Park or through the neighborhood, play with toys, and hopefully share many snuggles while I work from my laptop. My schedule is flexible!
