Pet care experience

20 Years Experience!

I have fostered or sat for dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles for 20 years. I began after I lost my first dog to cancer in 2006 and have continued because I love meeting new animals and helping pet parents. I'm known for caring for large dog breeds and dogs that are anxious. I have cared of a variety of breeds, including Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Australian Shepherds, Dobermans, Greyhounds, Great Pyrenees, puppies, and my personal favorite, mutts. I've also taken care of small dogs, and I love the ones with big personalities. When it comes to cats, I've fostered and sat for neonatal kittens, bottle babies, older kittens, and cats. I have experience giving medication and helping animals with special needs. I would love to help you take care of your animals while you are out of your home. Pet sitting allows me to love on animals and for them to love on me! Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Kendra was amazing! Took such good care of our pets, lots of updates, and it was so nice to get to know her during the meet and greet. Would definitely use her again!

Kendra was incredible. Extremely communicative, accommodating when we had technical difficulties, and was so understanding to the needs of our two pets. Would absolutely book her again!

Kendra did a fabulous job taking care of my Roxanne and Clancy, she's very firm, loving attentive and good with communication. Couldn't ask for a better dog sitter.

I have a greyhound who is not known for being well-behaved but is known for being anxious. At 3.5 years old, he’s never been with a sitter or in a kennel, mainly due to no availability in Gallup. I had Kendra do drop-by visits over a 3-day weekend. After meeting/talking to Kendra, I was completely at ease. She is well-educated and does this service because of her love for animals/knowledge of the need for this in Gallup. I’m sure there are other good pet sitters, but I just don’t need to look for one anymore. I cannot recommend Kendra enough. I appreciate you, Kendra!

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure that the animals I take care of are safe and get belly scratches. I sit with them at first to make sure they trust me, and then we will go on walks, play, or just spend time with each other. Animals are like children for me, so they will be loved and well taken care of.

Pets

A typical day

We will go on walks and play fetch and tug-of-war. I also take dogs on hikes with me when we get to know each other better. We can play any other game your dog loves, and their will be treats, of course!
