Information Serrina G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if you animal has any special needs or medical conditions, so that I can make sure to look out for them. Also if they are reactive or possessive towards food/toys/other animals etc:)
A typical day
I love to go on walks and go to private or public dog parks, and if the dogs like car rides that’s a bonus because I would take them everywhere with me(example:getting a coffee) and we could go to new areas to walk and play. But on the worse weather days when that’s not possible because it may be too cold for the dog, we would play and cuddle! And with some dogs I love to try to teach them a new trick( high five, sit pretty,wait etc). I try to be as active as possible, especially because it’s great for my back to be moving lots, but Also know when the dogs need to rest and have down time:)

Pet care experience
I’ve had animals all my life, small dogs, large dogs,cats, bunnies you name it! I’ve worked for a pet store for 4 years and then fostered dogs/puppies for 3 years so I have experience in training. I have taken care of friends and family’s animals whenever they needed and before starting with rover I privately took dogs on walks and doggy day care.Animals have always been my passion, hence why I went to university and got my certification as a RVT but because of 8 back surgeries cannot work right now, I also have a friend that can come by he is a dog trainer and is great with reactive dogs
Cat care experience
Serrina also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Serrina was easy to communicate with and Henri seemed to have a great time with her :)
Everything seemed to be going well until we realized that there was tape placed over our doorbell camera. Fortunately she can't put tape over my neighbour's eyes. What could she be hiding? 1. An extra person (boyfriend or partner) that stayed with her in my house without my permission. If she would have been up front, we would probably have agreed to having him stay. 2. Although she claimed that she took Devo to the park, what he needed was regular walks. None of my neighbours ever saw her walk him in my neighbourhood. 3. The worst of all: She was dogsitting at least one other dog (a terrier) in my house. Possibly two dogs. Without my permission. Probably causing my dog a great deal of anxiety. He has never had a strange dog in his space. This was for a period of at least 5 days. I have pictures to prove. This last issue caused me to be so unwell I had to try to get home ASAP. Secondly, there were dog accidents all over my carpets upstairs. Devo will only do this if he is being ignored as he indicates very clearly that he needs to go out for a potty break and has done so since he was a puppy. When I finally returned I came back to a dog that was quiet, had lost weight, and overall listless. This was further stress on me. I am having to get my dog's trust back to normal levels.
Previously, Serrina came to our home and took Sasha for a walk. Even with the short interaction a bond was made. Serrina took great care of Sasha and our home while we were away. She sent us a few pictures everyday to let us see how Sasha was doing. We have booked Serrina for our next vacation, knowing that Sasha will be well taken care of. Thank you again.
Serrina was great with Pierre and Sophie. I Was nervous at first because this was Sophie's first time with a sitter. Serrina was very caring with both dogs, and sent a lot of photos and updates, which I really appreciated. She asked lots of questions to make sure she was consistent with schedules and training we already had in place. When I picked them up they were both looking happy and well cared for. We will definitely be using Serrina to watch Pierre & Sophie again!
