Pet care experience

Follow us on Instagram @SimbaSoSpoiled I have had my own dog I had to take care of myself since I was 6. My first dog was a pit bull, my mom showed me everything I had to do to care for my puppy, next we had a American Staffordshire Terrier, Australian cattle dog, chipin and now a mini labradoodle. Through my experience I have learned how to train them as puppies, even teach an old dog some new tricks. I cook organic dog food from scratch on a bi-weekly basis. Very clean individual and influence dogs to use bathroom outdoors. I am very hands on and play with with them. I am a hairstylist and have basic knowledge on grooming. I’ve groomed all my dogs and puppies. I’m a great candidate to care for your pet because in my home their more than that, their our fur children/babies, as cliche as it sounds… “I will treat each of your pets as if they were my own!”

Kesandra was an absolute lifesaver for our last minute need of a puppy sitter! She was extremely knowledgeable, prepared, and welcoming. It’s hard finding pet care takers for puppies who aren’t fully house-trained yet so it was a big relief coming across Kesandra. It was also our first time using Rover and it couldn’t have been a more helpful experience for us. She had a fake grass potty training set-up ready to get Bumi more used to the texture. Kesandra even had some extra xs/s/m sweaters for Bumi to wear since it was too cold out for him. Her mini labradoodle, Simba, was the perfect companion to help teach and play with Bumi ? We really appreciated all the updates and photos/videos of Bumi she sent throughout the day, especially his interactions with Simba. Too cute! She was even able to start crate training him so when we brought him home, he was tired out which made overnight crate training a lot smoother. Kesandra also gave us tips on food specifically for poodles and how she started crate training Bumi so we could continue it in a familiar manner at home. Bumi still cried in the crate but was able to calm himself down and sleep through the night until he communicated with us that he needed to potty. Coming across Kesandra on here will probably be our highlight of the new year lol. It will be hard to top this! Definitely recommend.

Kesandra was incredible with my golden retriever puppy!! We were leaving town for 5 days and our pet sitter cancelled at the last minute. Desperate, we turned to Rover and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise because Kesandra was wonderful! It’s so hard to leave a young puppy behind, but she eased our fears by sending us photos, videos and texts so we could see what a great time Honey was having with Kesandra’s puppy! We are so grateful to have Honey stay in such a warm and welcoming home and will absolutely call Kesandra again next time we are traveling. Thanks Kensandra! You are the best!

Safety, trust & environment

In my home I currently have an 8 month old mini labradoodle, he is very playful and extremely clean. After every walk I wipe the dogs from head to paw in doggy wipes. They are allowed on couch, but only allowed in bed if being groomed/bathed. My rates guarantees absolute professionalism! I do not and will not cancel on a confirmed booking, guaranteed to continue the life of your pet as if they are still home. That means I provide crate training, basic command training (sit, lay, come, up, down, etc), continue training to those who currently in training. Resume current feeding schedule, sleep schedule, walks and more. Just because you want/ need a few days away from your pet, doesn’t meet we have to disrupt their current schedule. Upon booking I make sure my schedule is flexible for you, not fitting you into my schedule. Pets are safe and secure, home has 24/7 surveillance to ensure safety and most importantly your pet will be treated with kindness and respect, and unconditional love. Don’t hesitate to reach out, I’m pretty flexible and willing to work with you!

A typical day

I like to walk around my neighborhood, lots of grassy areas. On nice days love to go to a closed off dog park to help burn some energy. In home I have tons of chew toys, dog snacks. I run around with them, play with toys, teach them tricks and so much more. Nap time we cuddle on the couch, while watching boomerang or some nostalgic animation from the 90’s, lol.

I work from home, so my current dog is never alone and neither will yours. We’ve lost my older dog an 8 year old Chipin 2 years and we have a void since her passing. Through our tough time we have so much love to give and would love to welcome your pet. We go on 3/4 walks a day, plus plenty of play time indoors since it’s been cold out.
