🐾 My Current Availability 🐾 Big update! I've temporarily traded California traffic for Nevada sunshine and am currently accepting new clients in the area. While Nevada is home base for now, I may occasionally split my time between Nevada and California as opportunities arise. The best part? I'm currently available full time for pet sitting, drop ins, walks, and all things furry, fluffy, and four legged! These days, my schedule revolves around caring for pets, growing my pet care business, and continuing my education in dog training. That means more flexibility, more availability, and more time dedicated to making sure your pets get the love, attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Whether your dog needs an adventure buddy, your cat requires a professional treat dispenser, or your pet simply wants someone to tell them they're the cutest thing ever (I take this responsibility very seriously), I've got it covered. I'm currently looking to build long-term relationships with regular weekly clients, so if you're searching for a reliable pet sitter or dog walker to become part of your pet's routine, I'd love to chat! Need care that doesn't quite fit my listed availability? Send me a message anyway. I'm always happy to talk through different scheduling needs and see if we can find something that works. After all, we all know the pets are the ones really calling the shots. I can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐱💜 ⸻ ⏳My Personal Booking Request Policies If You Send a Booking Request— When a booking request comes in, Rover automatically removes me from the list of available sitters for those dates. Yes, even if the booking never gets paid. To prevent me from being “in limbo” and unavailable for families who really need a sitter: • If I reply and don’t receive a response within 1 hour, I’ll archive the request. This simply resets my availability in case you chose someone else, changed plans, or forgot to respond. No worries at all! You will still be able to message me and complete the booking even if I archive it! Please try your best to communicate with me! Communication just keeps everything running smooth! ⸻ 🐾 After a Meet & Greet— Once we’ve had our meet and greet and your pet approves of me (the real boss of the household), the booking needs to be paid by the end of the day to fully secure your dates. But things happen, so here’s how I handle holds: If your booking is weeks or months away— I can hold your spot for up to 1-2 weeks . Please just keep me updated so I know what’s going on. I’ll try to hold it for you as long as possible. If your booking is within 1–2 weeks— I can hold your dates for up to 3-4 days before payment is needed. During any holds, I may archive the request so Rover puts me back up as available, but you will still remain first in line for those dates as long as we’re communicating. If someone else asks about the same dates— I’ll message you first for an update. If I don’t hear back within 20-30 minutes, then I have to stick to my first come, first served policy — meaning whoever pays first gets the spot. No hard feelings! This just keeps everything fair for everyone! ⸻ 🚨 Same Day Bookings— Requests made 8 hours or less before the start time must be officially booked (paid) as soon as I confirm my availability. Most of the time, I can’t do same day meet and greets in person. But I’m more than happy to video chat if you won’t be home at the start time so you’re more comfortable with me coming over!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s happiness and safety are my top priority and I come fully prepared for anything that might come our way! Whether I’m dropping in for a quick potty break, going on a tail wagging walk, or staying for a full pet sitting adventure, your pet (and your home!) will be treated with love, respect, and care. I stick to your pet’s routine like a dog on a peanut butter treat: feeding schedules, walks, playtime, belly rubs, treat breaks, you name it! Keeping your pet happy and relaxed in their own familiar space is what I do best. Safety first, always! I bring my own pet first aid kit, leashes, disinfectant wipes, and more, so I’m ready for anything from muddy paws to minor booboos. Think of me as your pet’s own personal pet sitter superhero (cape not included… yet 🦸‍♀️🐾). Your home and belongings are always safe with me. I always recommend setting up a camera if you’d like to peek in while you’re away, as it’s a great way to see your pet’s happy zoomies in action! But even without one, you can rest easy knowing your fur baby (and your space) are in pawsitively trustworthy hands. You’ll get regular updates, adorable pics, and all the peace of mind that comes from knowing your pet is being cared for with heart, experience, and lots of tail wags. I currently provide pet care services throughout Nevada and California and have a flexible full time availability dedicated to caring for pets. I’m also actively pursuing education in dog training, which helps me continue expanding my knowledge and skills to better serve pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. While I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs, occasional delays due to traffic, weather, emergencies, or other unforeseen circumstances can happen. If anything affects my schedule, I will always communicate with you as soon as possible. Accidents can occasionally happen with pets, even when routines are followed and potty breaks are provided on schedule. Because every pet is different, refunds will only be considered in situations involving clear negligence or failure to provide agreed upon services. I take great pride in the care I provide and strive to create a positive experience for both pets and their owners. Respectful communication is important, and I reserve the right to discontinue services if interactions become inappropriate or abusive. My rates reflect my experience, dedication, ongoing dog training education, and the quality of care I provide. My goal is to give your pet a safe, fun, and loving experience while giving you complete peace of mind.

Information Serena Z. would like to know about your pet

Before we get started, I’ll have you fill out a care form on google docs so I can be prepared for everything and anything! Most of my questions will be covered on the care form, but here’s what I’d love to know about your pet: Do they have any special needs such as, medications, food sensitivities, allergies, or particular quirks (maybe they hate squirrels or believe the vacuum is out to get them)? Anything that helps me give them the best care possible is super helpful! Also, let’s talk keys! If you’ve got an electronic keypad, awesome! But if there are any physical keys I’ll need (like for a gate or a sneaky bottom lock), please leave them for me. I’ve learned the hard way that locking yourself out with only a keypad code for the main door and no key for the outside gate feels a lot less cool when you’re standing outside with a confused dog and no way back in. So, extra keys and a backup contact = peace of mind for everyone! First time booking on Rover? Use this code at checkout for $20 off! Yes, even if you don’t book with me… but like, why wouldn’t you? Promo code: SERENZ73082 Returning Rover user but new to my pack? Ask me about the new client discount! I’ll give you $10 off your first booking with me! Got questions? Send me a message! I don’t bite! *side eye* If you’ve sniffed your way to the end of my profile… congrats and a big wag of the tail for reading it! I really appreciate it, as not everyone takes the time to fetch through it. If you’d like to book with me, I’d love to throw you a $25 bone off the total for taking the time to read my profile. When sending the booking request, just bark “Who let the dogs out?” or if your fur babies are cats, purr “Who let the cats out?” Just for a little fun, and who doesn’t love an extra $25 off? 🐾🥰

A typical day

Every day with me is basically a pet’s dream vacation (minus the tiny sunglasses unless your pet insists). We start the day with some tail wagging excitement: morning walks where your dog gets to sniff Every. Single. Blade. Of. Grass. Cats get their royal treatment too! Breakfast served with flair, followed by a sunbeam napping consultation. From there, it’s playtime galore! Think games of fetch (or me tossing a toy while your dog watches me like “You expect me to chase that?”), laser pointer Olympics, tug of war championships, or just some good old fashioned zoomies around the living room. We’ll can also mix in some enrichment such as treat puzzles, training refreshers, and the occasional deep philosophical conversation about squirrels. Cuddle breaks are frequent and 100% encouraged. I tailor each day to match your pet’s vibe. Whether they’re a total goofball, a shy snuggler, or a dignified couch potato. Plus, you’ll get cute photo updates so you can see your furry friend living their best life while you’re away!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart? I’m certified in Pet First Aid and CPR, so I’m not just here for the belly rubs (though I give those in abundance). I do this on my free time because I love animals and helping pet parents .Whether it’s a last minute booking or a scheduled outing. I volunteer as tribute to chase tails, scoop poop, and spread joy because your pets deserve to be safe, happy, and thriving, living their best life full of treats, chaos, and endless cuddles. Whether they’re senior snoozers or zoomie machines, I tailor care to your pet’s needs such as feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, meds, or just someone to listen to them rant about squirrels. Basically, I treat your pets like royalty with a dash of ridiculous affection.

Serena takes good care of my pup! My dog always seems happy when I return home. It’s hard to come across a good pet sitter but Serena has been honest, on time and respectful of my home. I would highly recommend having Serena as your go to pet sitter.

Thank you for making Nigel’s Christmas amazing. He was so happy to see you and came back so happy. He slept the rest of the day. The care and professionalism is always so appreciated. Will definitely be scheduling a new play day.
