Lover of dogs and walks!

Pet care experience

I have 8+ years of experience with caretaking of others animals and 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 home animal care of family friends. Im comfortable with all kinds of different animal needs for all ages and breeds. I also work entirely from home so your pets won’t go lonely while you’re away. My main goal is to always love and care for your pets as if they were my own.

Serena took great care of our 3yo Dachshund so we could attend a concert in town. We appreciate how warm and welcoming you and your family were to Charlie. He was in great hands. Thanks very much Serena!

Hugo had a great time with Serena, and we are lucky to have found her.

Serena was great. Thoughtfully came the day before to meet Jojo. She immediately connected with Jojo and was clearly comfortable and confident. She texted that she was on the way and showed up on time (maybe even early). She was also super flexible because I was gonna be 30 min late to return. Lastly, it was clear that Jojo was smitten with Serena. Thanks so much Serena, I'll be scheduling future work with you.

I needed someone to look after Butch while I worked two 12 hour shifts in a row. Serena agreed to take him. I received pictures of Butch while in her care and he was obviously enjoying himself there. He came back to me and he was in good spirits. I would definitely recommend Serena to anyone looking to board their dogs with her.

Information Serena D. would like to know about your pet

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!

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.

I just graduated from college this last spring and am currently working from home. This allows my schedule to be very flexible and frees up a lot of walking time! I also live around so many amazing parks and walkable neighborhoods, great for any dog to get outside.
