Availability

Whether you need regular walks, drop-in visits, or extended care, I can adjust to fit your pet's routine. Having my own little puppy has also helped me stay home more often, which means I can offer personalized attention and ensure your pets receive the best care possible. I work from home and am a performer, which means I occasionally go to auditions, but my schedule allows me to easily fit in pet care when needed. I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that works for both you and your furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. I am patient, reliable, and always take the time to understand each pet’s needs, ensuring they feel secure and well-loved. Whether it's following specific instructions or taking extra care with anxious or shy animals, I am committed to providing the best experience. If your pet enjoys company, I’m happy to bring my puppy, Nenya, along as a companion for walks or playtime. However, if you prefer she stays home, I will leave her in my husband’s trusted hands to focus entirely on your pet. You can trust that your pet will receive the attention, care, and respect they deserve in a safe and nurturing environment.

Information Selina H. would like to know about your pet

I am more than happy to accommodate any specific needs your pet may have, whether it's administering medications, following dietary restrictions, or managing certain behaviors. I understand how important it is to stick to a routine, and I am patient and attentive to each pet’s individual requirements. Whether your pet needs extra care, training, or a special routine, you can trust that I’ll provide the attention and care they need to feel comfortable and well-cared for.

A typical day

A typical day with me begins with a morning walk with Nenya, where we get some fresh air and start the day off right. I usually take her out 2-3 times a day—morning, afternoon, and evening—each walk offering a chance to explore, play, and work on training. Along with the walks, I make sure to incorporate playtime to keep her active and engaged, as well as training sessions to help her build confidence and learn new skills. Depending on your pet’s needs, I ensure they receive the same care and attention, whether it’s joining us for a walk, some fun playtime, or quiet time at home. Each day is tailored to your pet’s routine and personality, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

Trusted Hand for your Pet’s Needs

Cat care experience

Growing up, I’ve been around all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats and bunnies. I specifically raised Maine Coons and European Shorthairs, which has given me extensive experience with cats of all temperaments and sizes. From playful kittens to more independent adults, I’ve learned how to cater to their individual needs and personalities. My experience with these breeds has also helped me understand the unique care they require, whether it's grooming, feeding, or providing mental stimulation. I’m passionate about ensuring cats feel comfortable and happy in their environment.

I was so sad to leave my cat alone for the first time in years, and I can’t express what a godsend Selina was to me and him— she made the whole thing stress-free and easy!! I looked forward to her sweet updates and adorable pictures every day!! She took amazing care of him, and it was such a relief knowing he had a buddy checking in on him while I was gone. Would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.
