I’m an early morning person. Outside activities and fresh air are a big part of my life. Going to local parks, walking in my neighborhood or taking a stroll on the beach. Rocky Bayou Drive has a nice park that allows dogs. I only take small dogs in my home, maximum 2 dogs, I will consider taking 3 same family dogs . I believe dogs are like children, they need attention.

Information Kendra R. would like to know about your pet

Just what they like and dislike. You as a pet parent are your dog/cat’s gatekeeper to knowing them. All dogs have different personalities, just like children. Knowing their routine, playtime, meal time, what gets them going is vital in a successful relationship with your dog.

A typical day

All dogs need exercise and stimulation. I am physically active, I love to go on walks. My neighborhood has a sidewalks, a park, and I also have a big backyard. Information on what stimulates your dog most is key, whether through ball play, walking, or playing with toys, etc. I am not the kind of person that just puts dogs outside without supervision. Just like you wouldn’t put a child outside unsupervised, a dog should not be unsupervised. If it’s too hot, no walking. Paw pads are just like humans walking barefoot.

Dogs are true loves

Pet care experience

I’ve always had a love for animals—dogs especially, though cats are just as cool in my book! I see dogs much like curious, energetic two-year-olds: they thrive on love, respect, patience, and consistency. Whether it’s playtime, mental stimulation, or a good walk, I know how important it is to meet each dog’s unique needs. From energetic puppies who need plenty of exercise to senior dogs who prefer a gentler pace, I tailor my care to match their age, personality, and comfort level. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while giving you peace of mind.

Kendra is hands down, an absolute gift to any family with fur babies with emotional needs. She is a natural with animals and my family loves how much she loves our two girls.

Kendra is truly the best. My two girls love her- it’s a true girls weekend and they are so happy and relaxed when I get home. It’s the best feeling to know they are treated so well.

Kendra is the absolute best. There isn’t enough that I can say that expresses the stress that she takes completely away from me when we travel because I know that my two girls love their time with her and she feels the same. ❤️❤️
