*please double check my calendar availability before booking(:* I do work full-time, 4 day weeks with alternating days off, that are 10 hour shifts. So I house sit Fridays starting after I'm off work at 6 through Monday mornings until I have to leave for work. I do drop in 7 days a week as I have a long lunch so I can drop mid day if needed. If I have multiple requests and I do not get a response within 8hrs (especially holidays) I will move on to the next person.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in a client’s home, I try to mimic their pets daily routine as much as I can so they stay comfortable and happy. I gladly clean the house, yard, bring the trash out on trash days, etc. if asked prior to booking.

Information Kendra S. would like to know about your pet

Any medications, dietary restrictions, reactive (negative or positive) behaviors. Having any negative behavior does not effect whether I book a client or not, but it's important to be open about it for the safety of me and your pet.

A typical day

I love going for long walks and could play fetch for hours. If you do not have a fenced in yard, I will walk as long as need to make sure they get plenty of exercise. I never do any off leash tasks, no matter how confident you are about recall or e-collars. I do own a few pet puzzles for mental enrichment not just physical enrichment. Happy to do any brushing and bathing if needed.

Kendra has dog sat in our home 2 times now and does a great job! She’s excellent with communicating with us and sends pictures of what they are up to. She leaves our house looking great. Miikko is excited to have her stay again soon and we know he’s in excellent care!

Kendra is professional, communicative, clean, and a lovely sitter to have in our home. She always sends tons of pictures and our dog Theo is incredibly happy with her. We would highly recommend her to anyone interested in a sitter!!

Kendra was awesome to work with and excellent at caring for my dogs. I received photos and updates which I really appreciate and my house was spotless when I got home which is an added bonus. Thanks Kendra!

I could tell the dogs had a good time with Kendra because they weren't all that excited to see me. :)
