Loving caregiver for all species 💜

Pet care experience

I enjoy caring for other peoples pets. I am reliable and trustworthy and treat each pet as my own. I am flexible and willing to work with you for your exact pets needs. I do work a full-time job M-F 9am-5pm however depending on your pets needs I may be able to do a mid-day walk or bathroom break. Note - I try to keep my Rover calendar up to date on a monthly basis. My phone is set to silent from 10pm-7am - any requests I get in those hours will be answered the next morning. Additionally, I prefer to book no more than 2 months in advance except in special circumstances.

This was our first time using Rover and Kendra did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and house! She sent updates and left the house clean. We would definitely have Kendra stay again!!

Kendra took care of our skittish rescue cat and she was really great. She came to meet him and us, and was very kind and patient with my overly long explanations and equally kind and patient with our cat. Kendra is very responsible, easy to communicate with and a wonderful pet and house sitter. Sorry this review is terribly late - I logged into Rover and got a reminder for it, and thought it had been posted ages ago. Kendra's terrific.

Services Offered: Housesitting - I stay with your pets at your home. I would consider your home as my own for the time and ensure that I am with the pets as much as is possible with my work schedule. Boarding - I have decided to offer boarding services on a trial basis to see how it goes. This would entail your pet(s) staying with me in my apartment. Ideally your pet would be fully house broken as well as quiet as I live in an apartment setting. I do not have a backyard but I will take the dogs on frequent walks and have a neighborhood dog park that I can take them to to let them run. I typically do not bring clients pets to the dog park if other dogs are there to avoid any issues. Drop-ins - I stop by your place to care for your pets for 30 minutes. This is typical for cats but can apply to dogs in certain instances.

Information Kendra R. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know their personality around other people, children and dogs/animals. I always want to be prepared. I have no preference of breeds and I've petsat for many breeds before from small chihuahua's to larger pitbulls and greyhounds.

A typical day

I love to take the dogs I sit for on walks. If there's a favorite spot that the pet owner tells me about I'm always up for taking their dog there. If there's a nice local park I'd also consider taking them there, with permission of the owner of course. Also, if the dog likes to play fetch or just run around their own backyard with me that's great too. I love to play with dogs and make sure they aren't bored.

As for pet care, I love going for walks and always take the necessary precautions to ensure your pets safety. I have previous experience working for a veterinarian so I am capable of administering most kinds of medication, including oral meds and intramuscular injections. I'm great at cuddling and don't mind if your pets want to sleep in the bed with me. I also will respect your wishes if you don't allow them in the bed. Just tell me exactly what your pet needs and I will do my absolute best! I look forward to working with you.
