Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets home away from home
My education and current studying of a degree in animal science has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, physiology, and care needs. I can recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort in pets, ensuring they stay healthy and happy while in my care.Having both a dog and a cat means I’m experienced in managing the unique needs of different species. I understand their distinct behaviors, dietary requirements, and exercise needs, so I’m well-prepared to care for a variety of pets.Caring for a disabled animal has taught me patience, adaptability, and compassion. I’m skilled in administering medications, assisting with mobility, and providing the extra attention and care that special-needs pets require. If your pet has similar challenges, I’ll ensure they’re comfortable and well looked after.My experience with a disabled pet has made me highly empathetic and responsible. I know how important it is to go above and beyond to ensure the comfort and well-being of the animals in my care.I know how important mental stimulation and socialization are for pets. Whether it’s playing with a cat, walking a dog, or providing enrichment activities, I’ll keep your pets engaged and happy.As someone who values animals and has dedicated time to studying their care, you can trust me to treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own.

Ratings and reviews
Helaina looked after our 5 month old puppy while we were away for a week on holiday. She was attentive and adaptable to her needs. We were kept up to date with how things were going and sent pictures and videos, which clearly showed our puppy having a good time, including socialising with other dogs. Helaina really knows her stuff when it comes to caring for dogs and is aware of how to tailor the care she provides to the needs of the individual dog, including with enrichment activities. She is a great communicator and responded promptly to my messages. I would not hesitate to recommend her and cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of our puppy.
We booked Helaina to care for our two Labradors while we were away getting married, and she was exceptional from start to finish. She kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which was so reassuring. Our dogs have only ever stayed with family before, but they came home happy and clearly sad to leave her. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
Our dog absolutely loved her stay, and I got regular updates and videos Thank you so much :)
amazing as always, thank you again x
Helaina always takes great care of Roxy when she boards with her and we book her whenever she’s available. We appreciate the pictures and videos while we’re away!
Helaina was amazing! She gave me regular updates and lots of photos (which I love). Spike absolutely loved her and didn’t want to leave her!! She is a lovely person and an amazing sitter. I would definitely recommend Helaina!

I’m currently a student so have lots of time and very flexible with dates. Particularly during holiday periods. Weekdays and weekends work fine for me :)

I have a fenced garden for security of your pet. Lots of lovely walking paths to have some great walks. I can use a crate if necessary in your homes.

A typical day
Lots of stimulation with licky mats, kongs and some reward based training. We will go for long walks in the woods with lots of time for rest and cuddles too
