Pet care experience

Pet Care in Oxon Hill!

I have been taking care off dogs since age five, when my family first got my childhood dog. Since then I have cared for two other dogs, providing basic training. Professionally, I have been watching dogs for 4 years, walking, feeding, and providing a fun experience to many dogs. I love dogs and would be so happy to care for yours!

Serena is fantastic and a great person. When a problem came up between my dog and an off leash dog, she immediately texted/called/video called and kept me updated the whole time. While my dog was happy to see me, she was mad she had to leave Serena because she got all the attention and walks she demands. Highly recommend Serena and any dog will have the time of their life with her

I am very pleased with care that Serena and Jake provided. I am always very hesitant to leave Luna but I had to due to a last minute trip. Serena was very accommodating and flexible. She let me know what to bring to make Lunas stay a bit more pleasant. I received updates and pictures, which put me at ease. Luna will be back!! 10/10 recommend.

Serena and her boyfriend took such incredible care of Finnley while we were away. She sent frequent updates and tons of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind and honestly made my day every time they came through. It truly felt like he was in the very best hands. Finnley was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved- I could tell he felt comfortable the whole time. I’m so grateful for Serena and would trust them again in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!

Serena was wonderful with my senior dog and remained flexible with my schedule. My dog Jackson didn't want to leave when I picked him up early and was happy with his compassionate environment. Thanks Serena!

Schedule

I currently work part time, mostly on the weekends. This means I would have around the clock time to assist during the week. For the weekends, I could board dogs if they are able to be apart for up to six hours, which typically would not happen.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large one bedroom apartment which will allow ample space to play with the dog inside. Regarding being outside, I love going on walks and can take them to the dog park, as well as using the yard outside my apartment.

A typical day

We can do whatever your dog wants! I love going to parks and on walks so if your pet stays with me we will do just that! We can go to the dog park, run around, and play both inside and outside. However, if your dog is low energy, we can just chill inside or out.

Please let me know any special requirements for your dogs. Also let me know the energy level of your dog so I can plan ahead! Note: I do NOT accept larger dogs that pull on leash or are reactive towards animals. There are many cats and dogs in the area and may not be able to control a larger dog that pulls significantly.
