Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Serena watched our 6 month old puppy at her house for a week, and he had a great time! She communicated with us every day, and we felt very at ease and able to enjoy our trip without worrying. She also has a very sweet dog who kept him company during his stay.
Serena took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town for a few days. My dog is typically wary around new people, but she warmed up to Serena right away, and I felt very safe leaving her in Serena's care. Serena was communicative, friendly, accommodating, and sent me updates and pictures daily. I can't recommend her enough!
Serena is really patient with every animal she encounters. She is a very positive person, always taking initiatives and is very resourceful. Loves to play or just relax with animals. She did very well with my dog my dog is a German Shepard husky mix. She is very playful and high energy Serena was able to keep up with her and keep her stimulated.
They were very professional and caring with our dog. They were prompt with any inquiries about how our pet was doing, and left us feeling at ease during the duration of our vacation.
I've spent so much time watching Serena look after her own dog, they must be attached at the hip! I had her watch over my own two dogs a few times while I was away from home, and she was fantastic. She sent me updates on the dogs, if they were doing anything out of the ordinary, and made sure to contact me for any questions instead of just winging it.
Serena stayed over at my house for a few days while I was on vacation and did a great job of taking care of my dog Bellsy. She's a pretty large dog with a lot of additions to her diet to keep up with her health, but Serena luckily didn't mind at all and made sure she ate everything she's supposed to. I was feeling a bit homesick and was even sent some videos of Bells running around in our yard and playing! It was a really nice boost to my day. I've asked her to help me out a few times since then and have had consistently good care.

Schedule
𝐀𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: I prefer drop-offs and pick-ups anytime between 8:00 AM-7:00 PM. I can house 𝘂𝗽 𝘁𝗼 𝟐 𝗱𝗼𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲! I ONLY accept crate-trained dogs. I prefer to have 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐭&𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐬 at our home to allow the pups to play together off-leash in the environment where your dog will become more familiar :) I will typically schedule a meet&greet to be 𝟑𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠(e.g., 1:00 PM-1:30 PM). I have a 𝐟𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝-𝐢𝐧 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐲𝐚𝐫𝐝 (a fifth of an acre) for your pup to play in, as well as many toys indoors. I also have 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐮𝐦-𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐠 𝐛𝐞𝐝𝐬! :)
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Things I need from you: 𝐟𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐨𝐠(𝘀), 𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝐢𝐟 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐝), your dog's crate(ESPECIALLY if they're over 50lbs), the commands they know and respond to, and anything else you think is essential for their stay! You can even bring their favourite toys if you want :) I am more than willing to accommodate their eating habits, allergies, and any other requests you might have. Please ensure that this and any other important information are listed clearly in the itinerary and care instructions to avoid confusion. I will be sure to send at least one picture a day during their stay with me :) I'd love it if you could leave me a review if you're happy with my care!
Pets
A typical day
I love to do enriching activities, so "snuffleboards", lick mats, frozen kongs, shredding cabbages in the yard, and 'find the treat' are common activities in my house! Free-running in the backyard is a favorite of the dogs, so there'll be tons of that too.
