Pet care experience

Dog-lover since birth

From guinea pigs and bunnies to cats and dogs, I have been trusted to take care of neighbors' and family friends' furry family members since I was 13. Many of my clients are repeat clients on a yearly to every couple months basis, and I have been referred multiple times to new clients around the Burlington area. Housesitting for dogs and cats is where I have the most experience, but I also do drop-ins and dog-walking.

Safety, trust & environment

I have years of experience keeping a pet-safe environment, free of anything unhealthy your dog or cat might get into. I also take seriously the importance of paying close attention to the surrounding environment when walking your dog, so as to make sure he or she stays safe and close-by. Most of all, I know that each pet is loved like a member of your family, so I take the utmost care to keep them both safe and happy.

Helen was amazing! She housesat for a week while we were out of town and took great care of our pup. She was very professional and sent regular updates— we knew he was in good hands. We would definitely work with Helen again!

Helen was amazing. We were relatively new to Rover, and it was the first time we'd had dog/housesit for an extended period. Helen put us at ease right away. She was a total professional. She took great care of our girl, provided regular updates, and left us completely reassured that our dog and house were in excellent hands. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

Helen cared about our dog Ruth and was willing to take care of our extra cat visitors, which we greatly appreciated. She played with Ruth and sent us great photos and reports during our trip.

Please let me know of any special needs or particularities unique to your pet. I am happy to accommodate if it is in my wheelhouse, and knowing if your pet has any special quirks or interests will help me be a better companion to them during my stay.
