Highlights
Pet care experience
Doggy care and cuddles provider 🐶
Dogs have featured in my life from when I was born, more recently I care for other people’s pets. Personally I have always owned medium to large breeds including, German Shepherds, Doberman Pinchers, Lab cross. Over my life I have always been the one in the family to be called in for any pet sitting. Unfortunately, I said goodbye to my last Dobie Tilly in 2020, and as we like to do some traveling now, we have branched out to pet sitting to get my doggy fix lol! I also occasionally walk a dog for a friend who works long hours. I am comfortable in walking, playing, bathing, grooming etc. My approach with dogs has always been to show I am top dog by showing them I respect them so they respect me (cuddles are a given of course 😊) I am currently work on an adhoc basis but no longer than 3-4 hrs out of the house. I am a grandparent so I do have grandchildren over regularly but they are used to dogs and have always enjoyed accompanying me in walks. I have a fenced garden, plenty of space downstairs for them to have a comfortable stay. I am also a 5 minute walk from a large park which also has a secure enclosed space for dogs that can’t be trusted off lead to return, enabling them to have a proper run and exercise. For clients who just need someone to let their pet out for toilet breaks, this would need to be local to me if needed during the day, I can be flexible in my lunch breaks to help for this service.

Ratings and reviews
Thanks so much for looking after Teddy, really grateful for your help.
Beau has just had his second stay with Serena, and once again has been very well looked after. Beau made himself at home from the minute I dropped him off, and Serena was very accommodating to all his requirements. It was lovely to receive a video of him enjoying his evening walk looking very relaxed & comfortable. Would highly recommend 😊
Serena has been a great communicator throughout the booking process, sending photos and videos of Otto which was lovely. Otto seemed very happy and calm after his stay. Thank you Serena, Otto will happily stay with you again 😁
Thank you once again Serena, we feel confident leaving Stogs with you knowing he is very well cared for. The minute the car stops outside he is itching to get to your front door. 🐾🐾
Serena has looked after our rather awkward Carin Terrier many times and has always been excellent. He always returns looking content and happy and she is great with updates and communication. Highly recommended.
Huge thanks to Serena for looking after Orla so well, she has come home very content and beautifully settled after her first day with someone new. We really appreciated the invitation to meet Serena with Orla before our booking. She clearly has lots of knowledge of different breeds and their needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Serena again in the future.

Schedule
I work on an adhoc basis as an exam invigilator so need to leave the house 3-4hrs but this is only during exam season. I look after my granddaughter 1 day a week, so a dog has to fit in to that. We love daily walks and drives to different areas, we are more than happy to take dogs with us in the car. Once a dog is booked we manage our social/work life around that so you can be sure they are not left on their own more than they are comfortable with. I am available to do drop in for cats as well as dogs.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden and the gate entrance is padlocked at all times. We also use a baby gate internally to prevent any escapes if the front door is answered.
A typical day
We are very keen walkers, so any dog staying with us would be joining us (this is all according to their age and abilities) We have a big park 5mins from us which is suitable for a good walk. As I am semi retired, I’m at home more than out working, I try to incorporate taking dogs out with me as much as possible, my elderly parents love having a visit from a gentle dog, and my grandchildren love to be accompanied by a furry fun friend!
