Pet care experience
Lifelong dog lover you can count on
Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly can’t imagine life without animals. I grew up on a cattle ranch surrounded by dogs and cats so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From raising puppies to loving senior dogs through their golden years, I’ve experienced every stage and I cherish them all. I grew up with two Labradors and a Chesapeake Bay Retriever and I currently have an 8 yr old rescue Chiweenie from Mexico and a 13 yr old Goldendoodle. Caring for a senior dog has given me a deep understanding of patience, attentiveness, and gentle care. For the past 7 years, I’ve also volunteered with 2 local dog rescues which has given me extensive experience with all types of dogs including those who are reactive, anxious or strong leash pullers. I’m comfortable administering medication and always approach each dog with a calm and loving energy. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe and completely loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks and jogs, or prefers slow sniff filled strolls or cozy cuddle time at home, I’m happy to meet them exactly where they are. I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and at ease. My goal is to become your go-to, trusted dog walker and someone your dog gets genuinely excited to see! I truly love dogs so much and I can’t wait to meet yours 🤍

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are everything to me. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can care for them just like you would. On walks, I stay alert and mindful, with experience handling reactive or strong leash pullers, always prioritizing their safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent while making sure water is full, feeding routines are followed, and medications are given if needed. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you feel at ease, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and truly cared for ◡̈
Ratings and reviews
Serena did an amazing job with my two poodles!
Jealous that our 10-week puppy Sisi had way more fun and seemed delighted to hang with Serena than with us. 10/10 but would not recommend unless you want to be relegated to #2 on your pups favorite people list. This was Sisi’s first ever sitting experience and it couldn’t have gone smoother. Serena helped us for 5 hours while we out for a dinner event. Gave us plenty of helpful tips too!
Serena is the best! She’s so reliable and loved my dog like hers. She really took the time to get to know my pup and was so understanding of all his little quirks. Honestly, I think Tori fell in love with her! It’s such a relief finding someone who cares this much. We’ll definitely be rebooking!
Serena was amazing! She loved our dog as if he was hers! she sent all the updates and pictures which was so nice to have when we missed him. We are so grateful!
Let's just say when I think of dogs (or any animal!) Serena is the first person to come to mind. She has the biggest heart when it comes to our furry friends. We are walking buddies and I kid you not, we can't go 2 minutes without her stopping to love on a dog passing by us. It's oozing out of her. I am a dog lover as well so I never mind when we stop but truly she can't help herself she HAS to go say hi :) She has two dogs of her own who are her everything. She is also constantly posting and getting the word out about rescue dogs who needs homes. You could bring it up and she would tear up instantly. If she could save every single one of them, she would! She's personable, caring, dependable and professional. So to say Serena would be an amazing caregiver for any dog or pet is an understatement. She's truly the best!
Serena is someone who dogs instantly gravitate towards and it’s easy to see why! I’ve seen firsthand how patient and calm she is, whether she’s with a high energy dog or a senior pup who needs a slower pace. She’s spent years volunteering with dog rescues, so she’s really comfortable reading different personalities and handling all kinds of situations. More than anything, she genuinely loves every dog she meets and treats them like they’re her own. She’s reliable, communicative, and will go out of her way to make sure both you and your dog feel comfortable. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust (and someone your dog will be obsessed with :)), Serena is it.
