Availability

Right now, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends. I’m currently in between jobs, doing some part-time work related to my liquor license, so I can usually adjust my day around your pet’s needs—whether that’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even last-minute requests. If you have a specific routine or timing in mind, just let me know—I’m happy to work with your schedule!

Safety, trust & environment

Now that I’m able to offer care in my home again, I’m happy to welcome pets into a calm, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I keep things peaceful, structured, and tailored to each animal’s needs—whether that means sticking to a strict routine, crating when requested, or offering a cozy place to relax. I also provide care in clients’ homes, where I’m always respectful of your space and your pet’s usual routine. I’m very familiar with dogs who like to run or explore, so I’m confident and careful with leashes, gates, and boundaries. Since moving to Fort Wayne, I’ve been exploring new trails and parks with a DNR pass, and I’d love to take your dog out for fresh air and adventure—at their pace and comfort level. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I take time to build trust and provide care that feels safe and familiar.

Information Kendra N. would like to know about your pet

As a dedicated dog walker, I strive to provide the utmost care for your beloved pet. In order to ensure their optimal health and well-being, I value obtaining comprehensive knowledge about their individualized needs. Please do not hesitate to provide me with any pertinent information regarding their dietary restrictions or limitations. I am well-equipped and experienced in working with a diverse array of pets and their unique needs. I will utilize this information to tailor our walks to your pet's specific requirements and accommodate any necessary adjustments.

A typical day

As a Rover dog walker based in Fort Wayne, my love for the outdoors inspires me to explore local parks and trails with your dog by my side. I have a DNR pass, which gives me access to beautiful nature areas across northeast Indiana, and I’m always on the lookout for peaceful, dog-friendly spots to hike or play. I keep a variety of leash sizes and dog toys on hand to match your pup’s needs and energy level. I also drive a car with low ground clearance, making it easier for dogs—especially seniors or smaller breeds—to get in and out safely and comfortably. Whether we’re out for a relaxed walk or a fun trail adventure, I make sure your pet feels secure, happy, and loved every step of the way.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Kendra. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, but it’s become even more meaningful after losing my own dog and my parents’ dog. That kind of loss changed me—it deepened my empathy and strengthened the way I connect with animals and their people. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets: dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, fish, turtles, rats, and hamsters. I’ve also worked on a farm with horses, goats, and chickens, which taught me the value of patience, boundaries, and respect for each animal’s space and personality. My partner and I adopted a 7-year-old Border Collie who had been through abuse and was slow to trust. Helping her learn to feel safe again reminded me that love, time, and consistency really matter—and I bring that same calm, steady energy to every pet I care for. I’m comfortable with medication routines, special diets, and unique behavioral needs. I take time to read body language, listen, and make sure each pet feels safe and understood. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely connected to the well-being of animals, I’d love to help care for your pets like they’re part of my own family.

Kendra is a spectacular and wonderful caretaker! One of the most caring and attentive with whom I have ever worked. She has experience taking care of dogs from puppy training through supporting old-age pups for at least a decade now. My mind is completely at ease when she is taking care of my very energetic trio! Kendra is a breeze to schedule and is very accommodating of irregular schedules, spays extra special attention to dietary and medication needs of pets, and pets absolutely adore her. Be warned, you will be jealous of how much your pets love Kendra!

I have know Kendra for going on 15 years and she has always had pets and a heart for animals. She shows a strong connection to animals, seeming to understand what they want and need intrinsically. Kendra has always had a dog in her life of different breeds, ages, and developments as well as numerous other animals/pets over the years. I often go to Kendra for advice for my own pets. Something else Kendra does very well is research. If she doesn’t know something she will find the answer and is open to learning and being taught new information to better herself. Kendra goes above and beyond in her care.
