Hi, I’m a old digital nomad with a deep love for travelling, animals, and new experiences. I don’t smoke, don’t drink, and I’m vegetarian. I grew up in Germany with a mix of pets—budgies, a Shih Tzu, and a cat—and my family’s Italian roots mean I’ve enjoyed a blend of cultures from an early age. At 18, I took a leap and spent a year in South Africa, my first trip outside Europe, to broaden my horizons. After that, I moved to Scotland for university, where I embraced every opportunity to explore, studying abroad in Canada and Switzerland, and attending summer schools in Denmark and the United States. Since completing my master’s degree, I’ve been working remotely as a sales executive. I’ve been lucky enough to work from amazing places like Finland, Malta, Romania, Estonia, Morocco, Cyprus, Spain, Italy etc. So far, I’ve visited 43 countries and can’t wait to explore more corners of the world while making new friends, especially the furry kind :) When I’m not working or exploring, you’ll likely find me with a book in hand. I love reading and finished 114 books in 2023! I’d be honoured to care for your pets and home while you’re away, bringing my love of animals and sense of adventure to every sit.

Loving, reliable care for your pets

Pet care experience

I’ve completed over 30 through a different platform so far, with some lovely repeat hosts who’ve already booked me in again. I have experience looking after both dogs and cats, including rescues, shy pets, and those with medical needs. One of my regular sits involves giving medication, and I’ve previously cared for a cat with FIV as well as a dog with joint and lung issues. I’ve also house- and petsat for friends and family over the years—everything from a month-long stay in Aberdeen to shorter sits in Edinburgh and Germany. I work from home, so your pets will have plenty of company, and I always make sure to keep things clean and calm so they feel relaxed in their routine.

Serena has looked after our 4 year old labrador in London on a number of occasions now after having been referred by a friend of ours. We were more than happy with how she looked after our dog and home every time. We hope to have her come back soon.
