Calm, caring, pet-loving individual

Pet care experience

Hi! I was lucky to grow up with a golden retriever and eventually two rescued huskys. Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for all ages and breeds from a six month old Corgi to an 11 year old Bernese Mountain Dog and just about everything in between. My family, friends and neighbors always count on me to care for their pets and I hope you feel you can do the same!

Serena is wonderful! She took excellent care of our 2yo bernese mountain dog while we were away for the weekend and was a great house guest as well. From the pics and updates she sent we knew Nutmeg was having a great time and was well cared for! Nutmeg can be high energy/emotion so we also appreciate Serena’s calm demeanor with her.

Serena stayed at our apartment with our dog Robbie for almost two weeks and was great! We highly recommend her and will ask her to watch Robbie again
