Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced professional pet sitter
I have been taking care of cats, dogs, various rodents, and birds since I was old enough to reach the sink to fill their water bowls! My professional dog walking and pet sitting experience began in 2012 when my employer at the time needed someone to watch her three dogs, two birds, and several needy houseplants while her family took a two month long vacation out of the country. I enjoyed the experience so much that I found a pet sitting and dog walking service to work for and was with Mutts of Greenwich for two years before I began to do pet sitting in my hometown of New Canaan, CT. I offered cage and aquarium cleaning services for my clients as well, which they loved! Having moved to Colorado Springs, I look forward to creating a great relationship with new clients (and their owners!) here in town :)

Safety, trust & environment
My fenced in yard is safe and provides my 3 cats and 1 dog (and multiple squirrel and bird families) with a little piece of heaven. I also love being able to care for my pet friends in their own homes where they are already comfortable and safe! I have cared for ferrets, parrots, guinea pigs, peacocks, rats, hamsters, dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes and even snakes. I am also experienced with giving medications and assisting special needs and elderly dogs and cats.
Ratings and reviews
Helen was very communicative and kept great care of our two (high maintenance) corgis!
Helen was great. She took good care of Emma who requires medicine twice a day. We left the medicine in pill sorters to cover our time away and Helen set up her medicine for a few days on our return so we wouldn't have to worry about it. Above and beyond. Great sitter.
Great sitter. Had our plans change a lot but she was really accommodating and got the job done professionally.
Helen was a great dog/house sitter. She was very gracious in helping me at the last minute when my previously booked sitter ghosted me. The dogs were very well taken care of, and I received daily photos. She communicated very well, and I will certainly use her again in the future!!!
Helen was a great sitter for my dog. She was very patient with my very shy dog. Would definitely recommend her watching your dog as I will be using her again in the future.
Helen takes great care of my dogs! She is prompt and neat and pays attention to what each dog (or cat) needs. She walks the dogs regularly and loves to play with them!

Schedule
As a full-time student with online classes, my schedule is extremely flexible which makes petcare a great fit. I am able to set appointments and do my schoolwork around them. There is nothing like a good walk with a cute doggy to help reset my brain after a hard assignment!
