Experienced animal caretaker

Pet care experience

Growing up on a farm has given me experience working with animals ranging from small to large. If you have a nonstandard pet (anything still within Rovers terms of service) , I am comfortable providing care. Growing up, I lived on a farm specializing in beef cattle, but we also owned horses, llamas, goats, geese, chickens, ducks, and our own personal pet dogs and cats. I’ve cared for animals my entire life! I also spent several years volunteering at a horse rescue, where i spent one day a week helping to care for over 50 rescue horses. The rescue specialized in offering trail rides and horse riding opportunities to the public in order to fund the rescue portion. My current personal pets include two cats and a large dog. Cats are my specialty and my current passions include caring for and rehoming stray cats in my neighborhood. In the evenings I'm usually hanging out with my pets at home, and engaging in my personal hobbies like knitting and reading. I work 9:00 am to 5:00 pm full time (Mon through Fri) so I am available for pet sitting primarily early mornings, evenings, nights, and weekends. I personally have two cats and a dog, who are all fed twice a day. My cats enjoy daily playtime that incorporates chasing toys and earning treats, as well as daily snuggle sessions. My dog receives potty breaks every 4 hours when I’m at home, and walks when the weather allows. My dog is the biggest cuddle bug and receives plenty of attention throughout the evening and ends the day by jumping into bed with me.

Kendra always does an amazing job taking care of my cats when I’m away. She sends me details and pictures after every visit. She is very knowledgeable about pet care. During my most recent time away she was especially attentive to one of my cats who was ailing. She went above and beyond to give her extra care and attention as well as keeping me well informed of my pet’s condition.

Safety, trust & environment

When I am in your home I prioritize treating your pets and your home with respect. For drop in visits I will always check your pets water and feed as instructed, and will clean litter boxes (if applicable). I want your pet to be comfortable and well cared for in your absence. I also respect my client’s homes and make sure to clean up after myself and take care of any messes left by a pet. During the initial consultation I’ll ask about what sort of activities your pet likes to do, such as playing fetch or playing with other toys, so that I can give your pet some one on one exercise and relaxation.

Information Kendra S. would like to know about your pet

I am not comfortable or qualified to work with dogs that are reactive or aggressive towards humans. Please let me know of any special behavioral or health conditions that would require special attention from me while providing your pets care. If you have any special requests for activities or care, please discuss these with me ahead of time so that I can be as prepared as possible to give your pet a great experience

A typical day

Walks are always a great way to get exercise for pups of any age! During the consultation I’ll ask some questions to get a feel about your dog’s personality, likes, and dislikes during walks. I want to make sure walks are a safe and fun experience for both me and your pet. For clients with a fenced in backyard, I would love to play outside with your pup and their favorite toys! If play is allowed inside the house, I would also love to break out the toys and play with your pup. Cats shouldn't be left out of the fun! Although sometimes kitties can be shy of strangers, I'd love to get out some toys to play with your cats. I find that cats have a lot of fun chasing toys that their caretakers drag around on strings. Fulfilling the "hunting" instinct is a very important part of cat care and hands-on play is a great way to bond with a cat and help the kitty get a little exercise.
