Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced supportive care
I started in pet care at the age of 12, with a pet sitting business. From there I worked at vet hospitals in the kennels and patient rooms, Doggie Day Care, Grooming shops and pet retail. I've trained dogs, and trained my own in Rally, Obedience, Nosework, Agility and dock diving. I also created and ran the employee education department at Pet Food Express for 8 years (before they sold!). Pet care was my life until I was 35. I've since had a career change and haven't been involved with pets at all and I miss it! So while I'm too "on the go" these days to have my own, I figured I could get my fix with other people's pets! I can give meds, groom, support your training goals and crate train. Plus I own my own business so your pup can come with me to work!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I have known Kendra for close to 20 years. Kendra had a wonderful dog when we first met and I got to see how she handled and cared for him. Brady was well trained, good tempered and loved completely. Having a background in pet care and behavior modification makes her a great resource. Now Kendra cares for my 3 cats for 3-4 weeks at a time taking care of all their needs including medicine administration. Kendra has a deep love for animals and has been wanting a dog for a long while so I think caring for and fostering would be a perfect fit so she has someone to give her love attention to. Thank you for your consideration, Leslie

Schedule
I own my own business so Monday through Friday, your pup will come to work with me. Shy pups can stay in my office with me, friendly pups can come into the warehouse or greet customers. Weekends will be for play!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large, fenced yard. I typically prefer to crate train but it would depend on the dog! Dogs that are not potty trained will need a crate but I'm happy to reinforce potty training! My environment is very secure and I can use a variety of walking tools.
A typical day
During the week, we'll go for a walk, play in our large yard, do scentwork (if you want!), or cuddle on the couch after work. On weekends we can hike, get a bath, or go to Golden Gates Fields. For some dogs, we also have a cabin in San Andreas on 5 acres, that we can visit.
