Safety, trust & environment

I always prioritize safety and follow each pet's routine and care instructions closely. In my home, pets are supervised, kept in a calm environment, and never left unattended outside. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'm respectful, tidy, and attentive, making sure pets feel secure in their familiar space. Growing up with a veterinarian mom has made me comfortable recognizing basic health concerns and responding calmly in unexpected situations.

Information Kendra R. would like to know about your pet

I like to learn about each pet's routine, personality and any special needs ahead of time so I can provide the best care possible. Please let me know about feeding schedules, medication, allergies, behavioral quirks, or anything that helps your pet feel comfortable. The more I know about your pet, the better I can make their time with me safe, stress-free and enjoyable.

A typical day

A typical day with pets includes walk, playtime, feeding, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I like to keep dogs both mentally and physically stimulated with games and walks around the neighborhood and exploring nearby parks. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, affection and rest so they feel relaxed while their owners are away.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs of all breads and sizes for my whole life. I've cared for dogs both in my own home and in client's homes, providing walks, feedings, playtime, and lots of attention. I have a household full of animals at my parents home on the east coast. My mom is a veterinarian so I am comfortable recognizing basic health concerns and following care instructions closely. I treat every dog like my own and focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away!

Kendra did an amazing job watching my needy dog and my epileptic cat. They both loved her and my dog didn't want her to go when we got home! Will hire again :)

I can’t recommend Kendra enough as a dog walker. She’s one of those people dogs instantly trust. She’s reliable, communicative, and actually pays attention to each dog’s personality instead of just going through the motions. I’ve seen how seriously she takes safety, routines, and making sure dogs get the right balance of exercise and care. I had her watch my high-energy pup that required so much love and attention. She bonded immediately with my fur baby as if it was her own. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like family and shows up every time with a great attitude, Kendra is 100% that person

I’ve had the pleasure of having Kendra watch our dogs on several occasions. We are blessed to have a doggie door and a large fenced in yard but we still need somebody here to feed them and help them to blow off steam. She arrives when she says she will, she plays with the dogs throughout the day, sends pictures and I know enjoys cuddling with them on the couch. She is definitely an animal person. I absolutely trust having her in my home and we will definitely be utilizing her services whenever we travel.

Kendra is the best petsitter EVER! She is so thoughtful and goes above and beyond to put you at ease when you’re out of town by sending tons of updates/pictures. Teddy absolutely loves her. She’s very reliable and treats your pets like her own. I had a very bad experience with a pet sitter in the past and I’m SO glad I found Kendra. I would recommend her 1000 times over!
