Pet care experience

Dog is my first language

I’ve had dogs for the past 25 years - puppies, seniors, maltipoos to golden retrievers and chocolate labs. I love searching for four leaf clovers with them on our snifari walks, have an endless supply of belly rubs, and take 4-5 walks a day to the park in front of my house or the beach with my golden girl of 10.5 years. Medications are a breeze. And the best part of the gig is snapping photos of their silly smiles to share with you to keep smiling.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I work from home and live in front of a park where I walk my dog 4 times a day. I live near lots of dog friendly spots and usually stroll past the coffee shop in the morning and stroll along the Palisades boardwalk at sunset with the pups. My dog is allowed on couches and beds but not the kitchen counter. I like to end our evenings with a short dance party and then guided meditation. If I’m at your place, I’ll ask for the off limits spaces and do a “puppy proof” before bed to ensure no mischief at night.

Sabena is amazing! she was so kind and thoughtful taking care of my anxious boy. He got along so well with her sweet gentle dog. I will definitely book with her again!

Sabena is the dog whisperer! She treats her own pup like the princess she is, and cares deeply for all dogs she encounters. My pup loves her and whenever she watches him I know he's in great hands with someone who provides love, safety, a fun environment, and of course treats!

Sabena is the definition of animal lover and caretaker! She puts her fur babies first and treats all animals like they’re her own. I can always count on Sabena to show up and go above and beyond, and knowing she’s taking care of my fur babies gives me the ultimate peace of mind.

I have seen firsthand how much Sabena cares for animals. She is patient, attentive, and treats every pet with genuine love and kindness. What stands out most is how seriously she takes their well-being, making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Any pet in her care receives plenty of attention and affection. I would confidently recommend Sabena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver.
