Zeda has a bit of anxiety when no one is around but Helena helped ease that anxiety by constantly taking her for walks and giving her play time. I couldn't recommend Helena Brown enough for any pet sitting needs! Zeda truly made a friend with Helena!”

13. Zaria R.
“Zaria is a delight to work with, consistently good-natured & dependable. She is an excellent communicator and a problem-solver.

Both Penny and I enjoyed getting to know her!”

About: Hi! I have experience taking care of a wide variety of pets! I've owned dogs, guinea pigs, a hamster, and a few fish. In years past, I have pet sat for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, gerbils, bunnies, and even a bearded dragon! During middle and high school, I spent 3 summers volunteering as an intern at a local veterinary clinic. Since then, I've completed courses in animal welfare and first aide. My own dog, Bonsai, currently participates in Duke University's Canine Cognition Center. I've also trained Bonsai to do many different tricks and she is currently learning agility courses elements! I love working with all sorts of pets to provide the best care possible. I'm currently working part time and am enrolled in classes at a local community college. Even with work and school, I have lots of flexibility to help in providing you with all of your pet care needs! I look to provide the best standard of care I can and maintain open communication! By providing updates with each visit, pictures of your pet, and keeping records of your pets activities I hope to keep your worries at bay.
