I live in an apartment complex with a big fenced area for the dogs to play in. There is also trails by the apartment that I walk. Your pet will get care, and exercise all while having the time of their lives!!

Information Serena N. would like to know about your pet

If there are any health issues, or special care, I like to know ahead of time so we can come up with the best care plan while I take care of your pet. If you forget before a meet and greet, no worries. I will always make sure to ask😊

A typical day

I love to provide a comfortable, safe, and fun day for your dogs/cats. What you are comfortable with, I am also comfortable with. Whether that’s letting them play in the yard, taking them on long walks, or even car rides. I am here for it all to make you, and your animals feel safe and happy with my services!

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 wonderful with my animals! I could see how much my cat and dog enjoyed her through the pictures. She communicated well and even went above and beyond by putting up my meal plan delivery that needed to go into the fridge. Highly recommend Serena!

Serena was amazing with Chanel this weekend! The updates and photos were fantastic, and I never had to wonder how things were going while we were away. You can tell she truly cares about the animals she watches. She made sure Chanel got plenty of attention and even spent time loving on my cats too. Coming home to happy pets is the best feeling, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

Serena does a wonderful job with my dog Sandy. She's very reliable and and Sandy seems very happy when she's with her. I would highly recommend Serena.

Serena did a great job taking care of Lady Bird. Lady warmed up to her quickly. Serena was very friendly and professional. Even though she only watched her for a quick overnight trip, I loved getting pictures of my sweet girl and knowing Serena was loving on her the way we would. I will absolutely be using her again in the future.
