Pet care experience

I have always been a dog lover (but I’m allergic to cats, unfortunately - sorry no kitty requests!) I grew up with a miniature pincher that lived to be 15 years old. Now, I have a poodle mix that is just over a year old (male, neutered) He is my baby! I often petsit my friends dogs as well so I have experience caring for different types of dogs. I would love to care for a new pup! I can provide frequent updates (pictures, etc) because that's what I love to receive when I trust others to watch my baby.

Serena is excellent. Great communicator and very attentive! Would highly recommend her and would have her watch my dog again!

Serena was great - I needed someone to watch my dog last minute and she was so easy to coordinate with. During my dogs stay, she sent me plenty of updates and pictures. Drop off and pick up couldn’t have been smoother. Highly recommend Serena to anyone in San Diego who needs dog sitting or boarding services.

Serena was a great dog sitter! She loved on our dog and was very easy to communicate with. :)

Serena was great with my puppy, she took her on fun adventures around the building, gave her special food to help her upset tummy without me even needing to request it, and made sure she went potty every hour so she had no accidents!

Safety, trust & environment

I will communicate to you prior and ensure to follow the directions that you want me to follow ( for example: I allow my dog on bed but if you don't then I won't be the one to ruin the hard work you put in to train your dog). Dogs safety is my top priority and I would take your dog's safety as if he/she was my own. For boardings - I do live in an apartment that has a gated courtyard at my front door, adding an extra layer of protection! Please note: My dog always stays with me for all house sittings, boardings, etc. Please do not request me if your dog is not friendly to other dogs or is not up to date with their vaccinations as my dog's safety is not up for compromise. Please note: No cat requests - I am allergic :(

Information Serena D. would like to know about your pet

First, your dog's personality. Then would love to hear about their likes/dislikes, exercise schedule, feeding schedule, any daily needs (brushing), tendencies/habits (ex: runners), allergies + vet info

A typical day

Walks, park (on leash), back rubs, belly rubs and more! We love to walk to Balboa Park or just around North Park. We will let you and your dog decide! If your dog likes to relax more, I'd love to relax too.
