Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kobe had another wonderful visit with Selien. this was his second time staying with her and he immediately recognized Selien and her home with great excitement. He was really well taken care of.
This was my first time leaving my maltipoo with a sitter and things couldn't have gone more smoothly thanks to Selien's professionalism and true expertise with dogs. Prior to his 3 night stay with Selien, we brought Kobe to her home for a meet and greet. The interior of her home and the yard were ideal for Kobe and he immediately seemed at ease. Selien took the time to ask about Kobe's personality and preferences and I was surprised how quickly Kobe took to her. While we were away, I received regular updates with photographs from Selien which also put me at ease. It was so nice to hear and see that Kobe was adjusting well, eating and enjoying his walks. Selien also responded immediately to my messages - including one sent to her at 2AM! My experience with Selien was truly wonderful.
Always a pleasure. The most loving care of our dog, excellent communication, takes better photos of my dog than me
Thank you for taking great care of Wendy. We appreciated the updates and felt comfortable while we were away.
Cannot say enough good things about Selien!
This was our second time booking Selien and she was consistently great for the entire experience! Very communicative, sends lots of photos, and our dog seemed like he had a great time. Can't recommend her highly enough!

Schedule
I’m almost always home, so I will have plenty of time to walk, play, and keep your dog company. I reside near Cal State LA, in the University Hills, on a vast, gated property. Your dog will love to take walks, frolic in the yard, relax on the sofa, watch T.V., or sit on the porch advantageously positioned for people watching. At nights, they may sleep in the full size bed, doggie bed, or crate. Security and protection are my top priority. I believe in exercise, positive reinforcement, affection, and strive to develop canine relationships based on trust and mutual respect. I’ve mastered the ability to project calm, assertive energy. Your dog will appreciate the steady leadership, companionship, and enjoy the fun and peaceful atmosphere.

A typical day
I start the day with a lovely morning walk. Breakfast a little afterwards. Mental and physical stimulation are important. Naps, playtime, potty breaks are interspersed throughout the day. Free access to the bathroom is always available. Lunch and dinner are fed according to you dog’s schedule.
