Pet care experience
I grew up with two dogs who were my best friends. I have been steadily watching my sister’s beautiful dog Albert and her new puppy Janice for 3 years. Those days are the best days - i walk them, feed them their meals and required medicine, and always make sure they have loads of attention and pets!
Reviews
Serena took perfect care of our dogs and our home while we were away on vacation. From start to finish, she was communicative, diligent, gentle, and conscientious during the planning, the pet/house sitting, and in following up. She went above and beyond in many ways, and I walked into my home after being away and could see immediately that our girls and our home treated beyond exceptionally well. My dogs are at best, not the simplest - they are large, we have various daily medications for all three, a range of ages, one with anxiety and another who resource guards and a third who has arthritis. Serena handled each as an individual competently and gently. She problem solved and communicated when small (outside of her control) issues arose with our gate/dog management system, and she was unphased while solving (she even installed a new gate I had delivered to the house - which was certainly not in her job description!). It was clear from the meet and greet and following photo updates that the dogs loved her, and I'm so grateful to have a connection for future in home pet care that I can more than trust! The best in home pet sitting experience I've ever had, thank you Serena!!
Serena is excellent with dogs. I have two very hyper rescue dogs and I regularly leave them in her care. Nothing has ever gone wrong. She is communicative, punctual, and loving towards my dogs.
Serena has been caring for Luli since she was a puppy and they ADORE each other. Serena is incredibly responsible, communicative, and has a huge heart. I definitely recommend Serena for any and all house sitting, drop-in visits, short or long term. 12/10.
About Serena M.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always keep an eye on the pets I am watching when out in the yard, even if the space is enclosed - I watch for other animals, etc to always ensure your pet’s safety. I have gone on many a walk with medium to large dogs and always make sure their leash is within 6-8 feet and they are secure within their harness.
Information Serena M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know all of the things that make your pets who they are! This includes likes, dislikes, problematic behaviors, etc. These sentient beings all have their own personalities and emotions, and I treat that very seriously.
A typical day
I will tailor activities to meet your dog/cat’s individualized likes. We can play games, mental enrichment activities, and have lots of time outdoors. I can also practice any training activities or exercises you may be working on with your fur baby during my visits!
