Pet care experience

Lover of animals and walks!

I have 8+ years of experience with caretaking of others animals as well as my own. I have had cats, dogs and reptiles my entire life, doesn't feel like a home without em! I've also done volunteer work with humane societies and at in home animal care for family/friends. Im comfortable with all kinds of different animal needs for all ages and breeds. My main goal is to always love and care for your pets as if they were my own. I do work in person (occasionally hybrid) so please keep this in mind when booking. Meet & greets (please read): I am always open to meet n greets and encourage them! While I understand finding the right sitter fit for you and your pets can require assessing your options in person, please make it clear if the meet and greet is an interview or a soft confirmation. When I confirm a meet and greet I am blocking those days out as pending and holding those dates until you book, potentially denying other requests in the mean time. To me, booking the meet and greet is a confirmation unless other things come up during that visit. Because of this I do charge $10 for meet and greets as it is work and travel for me nonetheless! If you have any questions at all please ask them in your requests!!

Serena has been our go-to sitter for Birdie. She is the most kind, generous and patient sitter we have ever had. We truly would not know what to do without her.

Serena is great! I had a big ask to help with two St. Bernards and one little maltipoo and she was not only up for it but also great with all the dogs! The dogs also loved her right away so she has the special touch! Thank you, Serena!!

Serena was incredible! I loved getting daily updates and photos of how my boy Chance was doing. I could tell how happy and relaxed he was with her which made traveling much less stressful. I will definitely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!

Serena was amazing! We had never left our dogs with a sitter before and were a little nervous. She sent lots of picture and videos and kept us updated which was great!

Safety, trust & environment

As stated above I will always treat your pets as my own. Safety, respect, and trust are my main priorities when it comes to caring for your little one.

A typical day

I love to walk and get outside whether that’s hiking, parks, or just around the neighborhood. I do try to stay away from dog parks while having pets that are not my own in my care as they can be a place of high incidence. But please let me know what you feel is ideal for your pet, it’s most important to me that they’re not pushed too far away from their own routine and comfort zone.

0 to 15 lbs

Please let me know if your dog has any special/high needs! Following the pandemic it’s understandable many of our pets got accustomed to having us around more. Any information at all just allows me to adjust around your pets need for the most comfortable stay!
