Friendly affectionate and gentle animal lover :)
Pet care experience
I love animals and am an experienced cat and dog sitter that will treat your pet like part of my family when you are away. I was raised with cats, and as an adult have often lived with dogs, taking responsibility for walkies, feeding, washing and lots and lots of petting. I am a soft and cuddly person with animals, but will also respect their personal space if they want to be left alone. I am currently on maternity leave so would be able to look after your pet with my baby at home, or to do drop in visits/walkies with my baby in the carrier. For hosting, your pet needs to be ok with children, although my baby is very young and so currently doesn't move/do much, so would not bother your pet! I am very relaxed with pets in my home, happy for them to sit on the sofa or lie in bed with me, but also happy to settle them in a crate or in their bed if that is what they are used to. I will take them out for walks on the lead and can also visit your home for walkies and petting breaks.
Reviews
This was the first time leaving our toy poodle with a sitter and Helen couldn’t have made us feel more comfortable. She answered our questions via the app quickly, we had a meet and greet at her place where we chatted for a long time and planned her one week stay. Helen was very respectful of our style and Zanzi’s anxieties, and very accommodating to our demands. Zanzi stayed for one week with Helen and we were updated every day with lots of pictures. She had a great time and did so many activities. Our only worry was that Zanzi would not want to leave! We will definitely be using Helen in future. Thank you so much.
Rocky enjoyed his stay with Helen - lots of updates and photos which was very welcome!
Can’t thank Helen enough for looking after our little Wilma. We got regular updates and Wilma seemed to make herself at home very quickly indeed. Helen took Wilma’s individual needs into account and she seemed to have such a lovely time it was like a holiday for her also - we couldn’t be happier to have found a lovely place for her to stay every now and then when we go away and can’t take her with us. Highly recommended!
Helen was brilliant with Wilma and sent us some lovely updates via WhatsApp, we can highly recommend her. Very attentive to our concerns and Wilma’s needs. We have already booked her in for when we go away for a few days on holiday. Thank you Helen!

I have a fenced garden and live with just my baby, and with no other pets. Your pet will have my undivided love and attention! I'm happy to have your pet on any of my furniture, or to keep the same rules the you have at home.
Home
Information Helen Alexandra P. would like to know about your pet
I need to know your dog's temperament and preferences - what kind of play they like, how much they like to sleep or cuddle, what their favourite toys and treats are and what kind of commands they will respond to. Also whether they should be allowed on furniture. Unfortunately I can't take any pet with risk of aggression due to my baby.
A typical day
When your pet arrives I will spend time getting to know it and playing to ensure it is happy. I will then settle down close to your pet, maybe on the sofa or in bed, with lots of strokes and spontaneous pets if they fancy. We will take a short walk every 2 hours and a longer walk and play twice a day. I'll follow your guidance on treats and feeding, and give them lots of encouragement on any training.
