Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Training Student! 🎓🦮
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.

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
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.
Serena is fantastic with our beagle who needs a lot of attention. I am so thankful for how well she communicates with us while she is house sitting her.
Serena is the best ! I know my fiance & I’s pups are in good hands when she comes by. They are always happy to see her. Super attentive & great communication.
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.
Serena was amazing! She took such great care of our Frenchie and truly went above and beyond. She even stayed late when our flight was delayed, which we appreciated so much. Our pup was happy and well-loved the whole time. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Thank you for taking such good care of Riley!

Schedule
🐾 My Current Availability 🐾 These days, my schedule revolves around pet sitting, dog walking, and continuing my education in dog training! Because pet care is my main focus, I have a lot of flexibility for house sitting, drop ins, walks, puppy care, senior pets, and everything in between. Whether your dog needs an adventure buddy, your cat needs a professional treat dispenser, or your pet just wants someone to tell them they’re the cutest thing ever (I take this responsibility very seriously), I’m your girl! I’m currently accepting new clients and would love to build more long term relationships with regular weekly clients. If you’re looking 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 see if we can make something work. After all, we all know the pets are really the ones making the schedules around here. ⸻ ⏳ 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, even if the booking never gets paid. To prevent me from being stuck in booking limbo and unavailable for families who need care: • If I reply and don’t receive a response within 1 hour, I’ll archive the request. No worries if this happens! You’ll still be able to message me and complete the booking. Archiving simply puts me back on Rover’s list of available sitters. I just ask that you do your best to communicate with me so I know where things stand. ⸻ 🐾 After a Meet & Greet Once we’ve had our meet and greet and your pet has officially decided whether I’m worthy, the booking should be paid by the end of the day to fully secure your dates. That said, life happens, and I’m happy to work with people when there’s communication. If your booking is weeks or months away— I can usually hold your dates for up to 1-2 weeks. Just keep me updated and I’ll do my best to hold your spot for as long as possible . If your booking is within 1-2 weeks— I can usually hold your dates for up to 3-4 days before payment is needed. During any hold period, I may archive the request so Rover puts me back on the available sitter list, but you’ll still remain first in line for those dates as long as we’re communicating. If someone else reaches out for the same dates— I’ll contact you first for an update. If I don’t hear back within 20-30 minutes, I’ll move on to my first come, first served policy, meaning whoever officially books and pays first gets the spot. No hard feelings! It just keeps things fair for everyone. ⸻ 🚨 Same-Day Bookings Requests made 8 hours or less before the start time must be officially booked and paid once I confirm I’m available. Most of the time I can’t accommodate a same-day in-person meet and greet, but I’m always happy to do a quick video call if you’ll be away when care starts and would like to meet me first. Communication goes a long way, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate last minute requests when my schedule allows! I can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies! 🐶🐱💜
