Doggie's Dream Vacation Location!

Hello - my name is Serena and I am blessed to have the best job in the whole wide world! I get to spend my days and evenings being surrounded by dogs and spending nearly every waking hour when its above freezing with them in my large fully fenced in garden which is set on twenty acres of woodland. Our house is open plan with doggie doors providing 24-7 access to the back garden with water bowls, tennis balls and toys to be found in nearly every corner! I pride myself on treating your dog like my own when they are staying with me and they are loved and played with and cuddled just as much as they want! Like I said - I truly believe I have the best job in the world! Be they young, old, frail or full of energy - we love them all and do our absolute best to make sure they get all the love, attention and fun in the world when they are staying with us! I have been surrounded by dogs my whole life whilst I grew up in England and then emigrated to the USA in the mid 1990's and I feel I have a great understanding of how they think. I always offer a complimentary "visit" for a few hours to familiarize both the parents and the dog with their upcoming vacation home - the comfort of both you and your dog is my primary objective in all cases. My other passions in life include rescuing English Springer Spaniels in association with MAESSR and my whole family take such pride and joy in rehabilitating a lost soul and sending them out to their forever families healthy, happy and ready to live their life filled with happiness, cuddles and tennis balls! Feel free to come around and meet my husband & I - we would love to meet you too!

Our pup always has an amazing stay. We’re a military family, so our schedule changes frequently and they are always understanding. We appreciate you!

Serena has been the best. She really knows what she is doing and does her best to make sure your furbabies are comfortable in her home. I am so glad to have found someone like her to watch my Ellie.

I’d give more than 5 stars if I could. Serena is amazing! The house and yard are perfect for Rooney and I know she was taken such good care of while she was there. Fantastic communication, pictures and videos throughout her whole stay. Rooney was in such a good mood when I picked her up. I know she’ll look forward to returning to Serena!

Serena is wonderful with our Millie! She is caring, reliable, and treats the pups like her own. We feel completely comfortable knowing our dog is in such good hands. In fact, Millie has more fun at Serena's house than ours! Highly recommend Serena...you truly cannot find a better sitter!

Serena went above and beyond to make sure our pup felt comfortable and loved during his stay with her. She was incredibly communicative and I felt completely at ease while he was in her care. Serena is truly a dog whisperer and understands what they need and want right off the bat.

I treat them like my own. We have a fully fenced in back yard with a dog door which gives them 24/7 access to the back garden. They are never left without a human in the house taking care of them.

Pets

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Walks can be tailored to suit owner requirements. Walks can be solo or with other dogs. Gravel roads, neighborhood walks, woodland hikes are all available where I live. Splashing about in the stream is always fun and chasing the squirrels in the back garden is a Must! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Either with the other dogs or in a separate room if requested. You may bring his/her bed or we can supply one for your doggie. I would love to say that I have never had a doggie sneak onto my bed in the middle of the night when I am asleep - but that would not be true! Time I'll spend with your dog All day! I gave up my career to focus on my three young teenagers so I am home and don't leave for more than one hour during the day. I believe very strongly that you are paying for me to take great care of your doggie - not leave them to fend for themselves in any way.

I generally insist that we meet before your dog comes on holiday to my house! That way, I can make sure that everyone has what they need and want to play with!!!!! When arrival day comes, they remember me and my house so it's a lot easier for them!
