Pet care experience

Animal lovers, wfh, fenced in yard!

We both grew up with dogs and have a deep love for them! Over the past three years, we’ve fostered and dog sat a wide range of dogs, from puppies to seniors. This experience led us to adopt our senior dog Teddy. Our other dog, Titan, is also a senior, and they both enjoy relaxing and going on walks. Alex works from home and is available throughout the day to let your pup out whenever needed and keep them company. We also make sure to take daily walks to provide plenty of exercise, attention, and love. We’ll send lots of pictures and updates while they’re with us!

Helen and Alexander were so wonderful! They watched our dog for 6 weeks!!! We got daily pictures and videos. with updates. Flora did not want to say goodbye and she them leave when she was dropped off. She loved them and was very loved in return. We would be so happy to leave her again with Helen & Alexander.

Helen was great! She sent lots of photos and took great care of my dog. From the photos it seemed like my dog was right at home and had so much fun.
