Lover of Dogs of All Ages and Sizes

Pet care experience

I’ve had all sorts of pets throughout my life. I’ve had pet cats since I was born and got my first dog when I was 5. I’ve also owned other types of animals including birds, gerbils, hamsters, rats, guinea pigs, lizards, fish, frogs, and even a praying mantis, so I can take care of any smaller animals you may have in your home! I currently own 2 cats and 2 parakeets and once owned 14 pets (many of them were fish so not too impressive) at one time so I am extremely used to providing lots of care for animals. I’ve been entrusted with watching with pet sitting my family members pets and friends pets since I was in elementary school. I have raised 4 dogs through puppyhood, so I am well versed in training puppies and also understanding the high level of care they need. I also have experience with senior dogs who have mobility, hearing, and sight issues. One of my dogs was a 160 pound Great Dane so I am very comfortable with large dogs as long as they behave well on leash outside since I’m a bit on the smaller size. I have a lot of experience with administering oral and aural medication and have also dealt with dogs who are possession aggressive, including food, water, and toys.

Serena was great. She was able to watch our dogs pretty last minute, was prompt, super responsive, and took great care of our 2 senior dogs. Will definitely use her again if we need a dog sitter again!

Serena was fabulous! She stayed at our home and watched our two beagles for a week. I got daily photos and updates and she even helped put our deck back together after a storm rolled through❤️

We are so grateful to have found Serena to care for our special needs senior dog while we were away. She followed all instructions left, including administering medication. She sent daily pictures and updates and made us feel at ease being away. She also brought in mail & watered our plants and tidied up after herself! I highly recommend Serena - she was compassionate, professional and the perfect fit for our situation.

I have been entrusted with taking care of many peoples animals in their own homes and am well aware that to your pets I am a stranger entering their territory. I’ll always make sure that your pets are comfortable around me whether it’s through providing them treats, affection, or just being a playmate while you’re gone.

Information Serena C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog’s typical energy level, how they behave on leash, anything that triggers them, what I can do to help calm them down if they become stressed, and also what some of their favorite snacks are!

A typical day

Some of my favorite activities to do with dogs are to go to the park, go for car rides with the windows down, do mental exercises, and teach them new tricks.

I am currently home from university for the summer and am taking multiple online classes as my only responsibility for the summer so I have plenty of time to walk dogs, pet sit, and house sit throughout my day.
