About: I’ve cared for everything from Chihuahuas to English Mastiffs! We’ve trained them as puppies and cared for them to their last days. They are family. I’m currently working as a part time substitute in Lexington 1. I make my own schedule during the school year. I love teaching special education. I have a large fenced yard. We divided it up into two sides. We also have a huge dog house with air conditioning and beds.
“Kendra was sure to give my old girl lots of love when she came by and made me feel at ease with a lot of pictures. :) She was also very communicative and took the initiative in setting up our first meeting before I went away for the weekend, so that she could become familiar with Smokey’s feeding/medication schedule. Thank you, Kendra, for your hard work!”
“Daven was awesome! Extremely communicative, great pictures, and very attentive and thorough during the visits! We will definitely be booking again”

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have had faithful companions by my side my entire life. My wife and I foster stray cats and try to find forever homes for them. I'm currently working towards a masters degree at USC, and my schedule is wide open during the summer. Once fall hits, I will be available as long as I am not in class. I always follow the pet owner's instructions closely—whether it’s feeding routines, medication schedules, or preferred walking routes. I take time to build trust with each animal, using calm body language, patience, and positive reinforcement. For walks and drop-ins, I make sure leashes and gates are secure before heading out, and I avoid high-traffic or potentially overstimulating areas unless the owner says otherwise. I always carry water, poop bags, and keep a close eye on the pet’s behavior to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. I strive to maintain a peaceful and predictable environment that mimics the pet's normal routine. I respect the owner's space, keep things clean, and ensure the pet feels relaxed and cared for in their own home.
About: Hi! I’m Melanie, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on pet care experience. Whether your pup needs an active walk, a cozy snuggle buddy, or some extra TLC while you’re away, I’m here to help make them feel safe, loved, and happy. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages — from puppies to senior pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always make it a priority to follow your routine closely, with plenty of love and attention along the way. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. I treat every animal like family and aim to give you total peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also happy to share updates, photos, and anything else to keep you connected with your pet! I work from home full-time, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and potty breaks throughout the day! My schedule is consistent but allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine — whether they thrive on playtime, snuggles, structured walks, or just having someone nearby. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide a stable environment and keep a close eye on your pet’s needs. I adhere to your house rules you have established with your pet and know that boundaries are important for both pets and people! I am happy to keep their routine as consistent as possible.
