Highlights
Pet care experience
shelter volunteer & animal lover
I've been volunteering at the senior dog shelter, Muttville, for almost two years now, taking care of dogs of all sizes (from tiny chihuahuas under 5lbs to larger bully breeds!). Every week, I help out in feeding often 30-40 dogs dinner, taking them out on walks, and cleaning up after them as needed. Aside from dogs, I'm also a huge fan of cats and have pet sit a handful of times for friends and coworkers, which has given me experience in caring for both outgoing, cuddly cats and more reserved, independent ones.
Cat care experience
Serena also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
From working at Muttville, I have plenty of experience getting in and out of rooms while ensuring the dogs stay only in the spaces they are allowed for their safety. I will do the same during drop-in visits and adhere to any similar rules in the house that are provided
Ratings and reviews
Serena is such a dependable and caring sitter! It's impressive to me that Josie (who gets pretty jumpy around unfamiliar faces) always feels comfortable enough around her to sit on her lap :) Serena always makes sure to take lots of pictures and keep us updated on how Josie is doing which is super important for me!!
Serena has cat-sit for my cat Uno several times and always done a great job. I’ve never had any issues with her missing a day, and the litter boxes are always kept clean. She also sends me photos of my cat while she’s sitting for me, which are always appreciated while I’m away from him.
Serena was a caring and attentive pet caregiver to the chihuahua she fostered. She always made sure to take him out on regular walks, maintained a strict feeding schedule, and kept up with any necessary grooming. Serena is a responsible and loving pet caregiver!

Schedule
I'm a local graduate student hoping to spend any free time I have with dogs & cats, whether it means having them join me on my long walks/occasional runs or just lounging around with a dangling cat toy!
