Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious garden in a gated community plus lots of local green areas where furry friends can enjoy long walks and nature. There are many dogs in the neighbourhood for them to socialise! There is a lift in my apartment building for older dogs who may be less mobile, it also leads directly to the garden. My apartment is one floor so the pooch would not have to climb stairs or be separated at night, meaning they would have constant company. I have comfy beds, blankets, treats and toys, and welcome their favourites into the home.

Information Serena D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special requirements. I am comfortable with all breeds but do not have experience with special needs dogs or cats so please mention this and I will let you know in advance if this is not going to be a good fit.

A typical day

Fun puzzle activities in which the dogs have to sniff out treats! Nice walks in the local forest, 5 minutes walk from my home. Plenty of squirrels to chase and ducks to bark at!

Pets

Animals should be loved unconditionally ♡

Pet care experience

I grew up with a gorgeous border collie whom I trained to a high level as the breed requires lots of mental stimulation and physical activity. In my previous role I would also dog sit a variety of breeds and loved every second!

Serena and Sam were great! Very friendly couple looking after our dog overnight. We would highly recommend. They provided regular updates of our dog with pictures. We have already booked in a longer stay later in the year and will be using them going forward! Thank you!

Serena took charge of my chihuahua at very short notice, I am so grateful for her looking after Lola. I had photos and videos updating me and so pleased she settled in well. Sam and Serena are such a lovely couple and will be definitely booking again with them. Lola came home so happy. Thank you both 😊

Serena and her partner took wonderful care of my Jack Russell, Maya. From the moment we met them, I felt confident that Maya was in loving and capable hands. They were attentive, caring, and made sure she was comfortable and happy throughout her stay. I really appreciated the updates and the genuine affection they showed toward Maya. It was clear that they treated her like part of their family. Maya came home relaxed, happy, and well looked after. I highly recommend Serena and her partner to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters. Thank you both for taking such great care of Maya! 🐾❤️
