Pet care experience

Lover of Animals & Future Vet!

I grew up taking care of the animals on my mom's hobby farms and as a kid I did both 4-H and FFA which gave me experience with many types of animals. I especially love dogs and I have one of my own. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to care for their pets and I am open to unique requests such as snakes and lizards.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I keep dogs leashed when needed, maintain a normal feeding schedule for comfort, and give them ample outdoor time in the day. I am familiar with behavior patterns for a number of animals and understand their need for normalcy even when their owner is gone.

Dog Walking • Apr 02, 2026

Serena was wonderful! She offered her service very last minute and took wonderful care of my friends dog on their walk. Highly recommend and will most certainly book again!

Serena was prompt with her communication, and updated us frequently on how the dogs were doing, while we were away. We appreciated her reliability, during the dates we were gone.

House Sitting • Jan 13, 2026

Serena was so easy to work with! She was friendly and kind and our dogs weee so happy when we returned! The house was clean, she left great notes, and she sent us photos and a small video while we were away. We will definitely use her again in the future! The service is spendy, compared to our earlier dog-sitter prices ($40/night for 2 dogs), but this felt so much more professional!

Serena did a great job caring for our 3 goats while we were away on a long trip. She was always quick to respond, let us know about any issues occurring, and provided daily pictures. We would definitely hire her again in the future!

I know that Serena is an amazing care giver of pets. She understands animals and is not afraid of hard work. She is gentle and loving but firm with them. I wholeheartedly trust her with the care of all of my own pets: dogs, cats and horses. She has been surrounded by pets and livestock all of her life and it shows in her ability to problem solve, "control" and understand animals. Her experience raising a variety of livestock through the 4-H program instills confidence that she can without doubt care for animals with confidence and consistency. Serena lives her life with integrity and honesty. I highly recommend Serena Connely as a pet sitter and dog walker without any reservation. Hiring Serena would be a very wise investment.
