Life-long dog lover here!
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Serena and I had a golden retriever/Norwegian elkhound cross named Sam from age 5 to 20 who I loved very much. Ever since I can remember, I have loved and respected animals very much and their well-being is of the utmost importance to me. As well as having a dog of my own, I was also a dog walker at the SPCA. As an SPCA dog walker, we were trained to provide dogs with positive reinforcement. I will not pull on your dog's leash, and I will make sure that he or she is always safe and well fed (if boarding or sitting). My house has a big yard and is located in a fairly safe area in Surrey. We don't see many cars here and my Sam loved roaming around our neighbourhood when he was alive, so I'm sure your dog will love it here too!
Reviews
Serena was fantastic! We have a very nervous/shy chihuahua who warms up to people but is scared of other dogs. Serena took our little guy in and made him feel comfortable and starting playing together! I'm really happy with the care she took, she's great if you are looking for a sitter!
This is Leo’s second time staying with Serena and he was so happy! Thank you again!
I normally get very anxious having to leave my dog in the care of someone else. I booked Serena last minute and she was amazing! She provided updates throughout the day with videos, pictures and messages. My anxiety and worries definitely went away when I knew that my dog was in good care. My dog Shadow is a senior blind dog so he can be a lot to take care of for some people. But Serena made sure to ask questions that would help make Shadow feel the most comfortable. All in all, Shadow seemed to be very happy and content when I came to pick him up. Definitely will be booking Serena again!
Serena was great with Leo! He is a anxious doggo but she made she he was comfortable with her and trusted her. Leo can home happy and tired ?

Safety, trust & environment
I allow dogs to simply "be" in my space. I like to give them the space to roam around and make themselves comfortable. I also think letting them roam around outside is good which they will definitely be allowed to do at our house if that is something you're comfortable with.

Information Serena S. would like to know about your pet
How they are around other dogs? I don't mind dogs that are a bit reactive (my Sam was) but I'd like to know in advance so that I know if I should be avoiding other dogs on walks.
A typical day
We have a park close by with trails that we can go to and I will definitely play with them in the house as much as they want!

Availability
I am currently unemployed (but doing online courses and volunteer work) so I am home most days. If you leave your dog in my care, I will be sure to spend my time with him or her and make sure they are taken on regular walks and are able to go outside for toilet breaks whenever they need. I do go out occasionally for outings but would only be out for 2-3 hours at a time, and even then, your dog will never be left alone as my parents are always home.
