House Sitting Helena

“Peter was exceptional. Right before we left one of the dogs was diagnosed with cancer and he went above and beyond to give us updates and deal with issues. Could not have asked for better service or responsiveness. Think the dogs wanted to leave with him”

“Kate was communicative and went above and beyond to make sure our boy wasn’t lonely or bored. I would definitely recommend her and look forward to having her watch our dog in the future!”

About: Hi! My name is Adrian, and I've been around dogs and cats for most of my life. I grew up helping care for large dogs and have always been the person my family relies on to feed, play with, and look after our pets. I especially love large breeds and enjoy spending time outdoors, playing, and making sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to earn their trust so they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'm currently very flexible and have plenty of availability throughout the week for house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks. Because my schedule is open, I can dedicate plenty of attention to your pets instead of rushing between commitments. I communicate regularly, send photo updates, and always make sure owners know their pets are happy and well cared for. For everyone's safety and comfort, I currently only offer care in my client's home. My family dog is not comfortable around unfamiliar animals, so I don't provide boarding in my own home. When caring for pets in your home, I carefully follow your routines, make sure fresh water is always available, maintain feeding and bathroom schedules, provide plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I also treat every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and a clean home

“Libby filled a last minute request and came early to meet & get acquainted with Annie Belle. She took great care of AB and updated often with pictures, which put my mind at ease.”

About: I’ve always enjoyed being around animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. For the past two years, I’ve regularly helped family and friends with pet care, including dog walking and looking after pets. I’m patient, dependable, and pay attention to each pet’s individual needs. I always make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m retired, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting during the week and on weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I always put your pet’s safety and comfort first. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m patient, responsible, and treat every pet like they’re my own.

About: I have owned numerous pets and cared for many more like they were my own. Deep affection for critters and intentional about caregiving for these precious family members and homes. I’m also good with plants and fish! I am a contracted fisheries observer in the Bering Sea, and take seasons off when I'm able. This allows me a very flexible schedule in my week and this August-December. I can drive to the pets and homes which need my care and take pets on hikes, walks, play dates, give baths and meds, and/or any other needs they have. I can also ensure the home is locked and secured and kept tidy.

About: I always tell my clients that I will treat their animals like my own. I want your pets experience to feel comforting, enjoyable, and reliable. I have pet sit for 8 years now. I fit it in mostly on weekends now that I have a dog of my own but I could potentially do it full time in the near future. I want to state that I do not stay overnight with your dog but will give them the needed attention and care multiple times a day and be right back to do the same the following day. I have a fenced in yard for my dog and a doggy door for her to let herself in and out during the day. I don’t leave her longer than 5 hours. I believe pets thrive off of human interaction and we are their best friend and all they know. Trust in me to give your pet a good time while you’re away. I will work off of you and your pets needs.

“Evie did a fantastic job looking after our two Chihuahuas. One of them can be very nervous about meeting new people. However, it wasn't very long until he sat in Evie's lap. Evie has taken care of them twice now. Last time for a week. Everything went very well both times. I would highly recommend Evie.”

About: I have animal experience in a shelter setting and in a medical setting. I’m currently working at a veterinary office as a kennel attendant. I’m also able to administer medications orally or via injections. I work from 8-6, but I get a two hour lunch. I’m able to drop in and check on animals in the mornings, on my lunch break and after work. I’m always mindful of an animals mood and try to adjust accordingly. If there’s treats, toys or routine that make an animal comfortable the that’s what I try to follow.

“My dogs loved her and she was so sweet! Sent picture updates when we were gone and made sure they were well taken care of! Would definitely book again :)”

About: I have 4 years of experience with almost every breed of dog and cat imaginable so I can provide specialty care based on your individual pets needs! For over 4 years family members and clients have trusted me to handle potty breaks, playtime, feeding time, and medication for senior care of their pets! I work part time during the week so my schedule is very flexible for potty breaks and house sitting. I have one client that I let out for potty breaks weekly in the Mountain Brook area, others are scattered availability. I can care for your pets and home by making sure they have lots of attention and playtime throughout the day. In senior pet homes I have no problems cleaning any accidents quickly and efficiently while making sure your pet isn't embarrassed. Additionally in senior pet homes I can adhere to strict medication schedules on time and with lots of positive reinforcement.

“Lanie kept my dog for several hours for us to attend a concert. She fed her and kept her busy until her bedtime. She kept me updated the entire time. Great sitter!!!”

About: I have been dogsitting & catsitting for several years now. I am looking to for more opportunities to do so. I am excited to take care of your pet while you are away! I work full time but I have a flexible schedule. I am able to sit for your pet any day of the week and able to check on them throughout the day. I will primarily be dogsitting or cat sitting at my client’s home rather than bringing a pet back to my home. I think it would be best for the pet to be in their home environment.

About: My patience, responsibility, and attention to detail. As a childhood cancer survivor, she has a deep sense of compassion and maturity beyond her years. She is comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, administering basic medications, sticking to routines, and making pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care would fit into my daily and weekly routine because I am responsible and able to manage my time well. I would make sure the pet is fed, exercised, groomed, and given attention every day. Weekly, I would help clean up after the pet, restock supplies, and make sure it stays healthy and comfortable. I care for pets in my home or a client’s home by feeding them on time, providing fresh water, exercising them, and giving them attention and affection daily. I also clean up after them, keep their space safe and comfortable, and follow any special instructions from the owner to make sure the pet stays healthy, happy, and well cared for.

About: I have had dogs since I was 8 years old, from Shih Tzus to Goldens and from puppies to seniors! I am comfortable caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it is keeping up with the energy of a new puppy, managing a multi-dog household, or providing the gentle and patient care that senior dogs need, I adapt my routine to what makes each pet feel safe, comfortable, happy, and loved. When staying overnight, I focus on maintaining your dog's regular schedule in the comfort of their own home. You can also have peace of mind knowing that your house is secure, your plants are watered, and everything is being looked after while you are away. House sitting is my primary pet-care focus and one of my main work priorities, so I keep my schedule flexible around the needs and routines of the animals I am staying with. I do not have a rigid daily schedule, which allows me to accommodate feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and other routines as needed. These responsibilities come first while I am caring for a pet. I may step out for an hour or two at a time to run errands or grab food, but my personal hobbies and activities are planned around those responsibilities, not the other way around. I care for pets in their own home by following the routines and instructions their owners provide as closely as possible. I make sure feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and household rules remain consistent so pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I pay extremely close attention to doors, gates, leashes, food restrictions, and anything else that could affect their safety. I also keep the home secure and tidy, clean up after the pets, and communicate with the owner if I notice anything unusual in their behavior, appetite, routine, or environment. I am also happy to handle routine household tasks such as watering plants, retrieving mail, and keeping an eye on the property while you are away. My goal is to make the experience as normal and low-stress as possible for both the pets and their owners.

“I would highly recommend Riley. I used his services as a house sitter to take care of my Pekingese, who is very shy. She warmed up to Riley almost instantly, which is a testament to him. He left my house in the same condition as to when I left it: very clean. I greatly appreciate him taking care of my pet and my house. I would describe Riley as very friendly, honest and reliable. He's obviously a pet lover. What more can you ask for in someone to help you with your pet's needs?”

“Loralyn is wonderful! Kept in touch and gave us updates on our girls. She was very considerate of our home and took great care of all of my little asks. We will definitely use Loralyn again!”

About: I’ve cared for animals of all ages and temperaments for over 25 years, including dogs, cats, small animals and exotics. My experience ranges from daily walks and playtime to administering medications and providing post-surgery care. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to seniors with special needs. I was also a vet tech for 15 years. I work part time as a CNA but before that, I was a vet tech for over 15 years. My schedule can be worked around as it is flexible. I can do drop-ins, walks, weekends and over night sitting when I am available. I follow your routine to the letter so your pet feels at ease in their familiar space. I’m careful with doors, gates, and leashes, and I tidy up as I go so you come home to a clean house and a happy pet.

“Jasmine was an amazing dog sitter. She watched both my dogs and was kind and vigilant! I would recommend her to anyone! She was very flexible with scheduling and very communicative which made the entire process so easy.”
