Pet care experience

Hi! I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience caring for high-energy breeds. I currently share my home with a Red Heeler and a Goldendoodle, both of whom require significant daily exercise, mental stimulation, and attention. This has given me strong skills in managing active dogs and creating structured, enriching routines. My professional background includes working as an EMT and now as a behavior technician, which has shaped my calm, attentive, and safety-first approach. I’m trained to stay level-headed in emergencies, read behavior cues, and provide patient, consistent care. I’m also an avid surfer, so I’m naturally active and love the outdoors. I’m using Rover as a side gig and I’m always open to long visits, overnight stays, and extended care. I genuinely love all animals and treat every pet like family. You can trust that your pet will receive unconditional love, reliable attention, and excellent care while with me.

Serena was so great with our dogs and cat! She sent lots of updates and photos which gave me peace of mind while traveling. She is very sweet and attentive with our pets. Will definitely book with her again!

Serena shows all of the qualities of a great dog caregiver. She's patient, understanding, loving, and eager to help all dogs whenever their owners are away. She's a dog owner herself and loves to give the fur babies attention and corrections as needed by the dogs themselves or as requested by owners. Along with dogs, she's amazing with cats and has spent a large amount of her life devoted to taking care of animals, whether they be her own, are fostered, or are watched for an afternoon. She's easy to work with, flexible for the dogs and flexible for you. Would hire again!

Serena was our saving grace. We had to leave suddenly and Serena showed up when we needed her. She ensured that our family pets would be taken care of with love, and she meant it. Serena will be there in the bat of an eye if you need her to be. She’s someone I will be recommending to friends and family.

Serena was lovely with how she showed up, cared for, and even cleaned after our pets during her stay while we were gone. She updated us on routine walks, when our pups ate, and even when she was unsure about something she asked for proper guidance. She is someone I would book over and over again.
