Highlights
Pet care experience
Energetic, Nature-Loving Pet-Lover!
I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have one cat of my own (a Maine Coon/DMH mix). I have spent approximately 5 years working front desk for both veterinary day practice and veterinary urgent care. Working in urgent care trained me in many things including symptoms to look out for and gave me the knowledge to identify when an urgent medical situation has arisen. I'm very patient with shy dogs, having previously adopted one myself. I am comfortable administering oral medication, insulin injections and even ear medication for pets whoa re reasonably well-behaved with receiving them.

Safety, trust & environment
When staying at a client's home I make sure the pet is my priority. I want to make sure pets who are used to receiving lots of love and attention don't feel too depressed without their owners home. If that means your dog sleeps on top of me at night then more cuddles! Have a yard? Let's go out in it and play! Does your cat live for getting pets for the first hour you're awake? Want to be left alone? Need some quality laser pointer time in the evenings? Done! My goal is to give your pooch or kitty a friend to hang out with so they don't get lonely! But if they like being independent and just want someone to be alone together with them that's totally fine too!
Ratings and reviews
Felt truly at ease knowing Selene was hanging out with Freya and updating us with pictures throughout the day.
Selene is super responsive and sends wonderful pics and updates while we are away! We will definitely use her services again!
Selene was my roommate for 2 years and was always happy to help if I needed someone to take care of my dog late at night or early in the mornings if I was out for those time and wasn't able to care for her also she frequently took her for walks while I was out as well. Selene was very good with medication that my dog took as well.
Selene is a wonderful pet sitter and person! She took care of my large lab while we were away many times. Otis became sick with cancer and Selene was helpful with giving medication and loving advice. She has experience working in vet clinics and really knows her stuff. I would trust her to take care any pet with love and kindness. She is a gem. ❤️ My only complaint is that she moved and is not close enough to pet sit for me anymore! You can be confident that she will take amazing care of your animals.

Schedule
As of the week of April 18th I'll be working a regular day job again. Eventually this will mean I work from 7 am until 5:30 or 6 pm Monday through Thursday, though it won't be full-time initially. This would leave petsitting pets alone at home for almost 12 hours. Please feel free to check in with me regarding my schedule if your pet(s) cannot be alone for so long and you'd rather not find someone to do a home visit during the day. Pet sitting usually involves me staying at your home from roughly 5-7pm until around 8-9 am. My rate includes as many bathroom breaks as your pup needs and a short walk in the morning and evening (around 10 mins). One trip back to your house during the day for an additional potty break is included. If your pet requires more potty breaks or long walks please also book those when you request pet sitting. I am available for walks or in-home visits. Walks will generally be in your neighborhood. I'm happy to pack of your well behaved pooch for a trip to a hiking trail or park as well, just please consider that transit time and book accordingly if you'd like me to do so.
