Animal Lover at Heart

I'm a stay-at-home mom with years of hands on experience caring for animals especially dogs and cats with unique needs. 🐶 I offer solo dog walks for pups who need calm, one on one attention, perfect for reactive, anxious, or senior dogs who don’t do well in group settings. 🐱 I also provide drop in cat care, including feeding, litter cleaning, medication (if needed), and gentle companionship while you're away. I’m reliable, patient, and always focus on your pet’s comfort and safety. While I’m not a certified trainer or vet, I bring real world experience and lots of love to every visit. Message me to chat about your pet’s needs or check availability! 💛 Summer Walks for Your Pup: To keep your dog safe and comfortable during warmer weather (80°F and above), I always walk them on grass or in shaded areas. For dogs with sensitive skin, I’m happy to apply pet-safe sunscreen. On very hot days or during heat waves, I’ll take your pup for a shorter walk and then spend the rest of the time relaxing safely at your home and in your yard (if you have one). I do require a meet-and-greet before booking, so please avoid last-minute requests unless we’ve already met. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for your beloved pets in the comfort of their own home is a responsibility I take very seriously. My top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm environment where your pet feels secure and loved. Safety First: I carefully follow your instructions and any special care routines you provide. Whether it’s administering medication, maintaining feeding schedules, or respecting exercise limitations, your pet’s health and well-being are my highest priority. I keep doors and gates secure and supervise pets closely to prevent any accidents or escapes. Building Trust: I understand that letting someone into your home and care for your furry family member requires trust. I strive to earn that by being reliable, punctual, and respectful of your home and privacy. I believe in clear communication and will keep you updated so you always know how your pet is doing. Comfortable Environment: Pets thrive best in familiar surroundings, so I make sure to maintain their usual routines and provide plenty of love, attention, and stimulation. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I tailor each visit to meet your pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m honored to be entrusted with your pet’s care and work hard to make each visit a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend.

Helen is fantastic! I went away for the weekend, and left my cats for the first time since I got them. I needed to find someone trustworthy, reliable and experienced to stay at my home. I saw Helen’s profile and I reached out. Helen responded right away and we set up a meet and greet. She has this positive energy that my cats could sense immediately. So we booked it. Helen’s communication was consistent and comforting. She sent pictures and videos throughout the weekend, which allowed me to focus on my time away and not worry about my boys. It was also a great way for her to show me that she was putting in the time and effort to give attention to them, and stimulate them. She not only took care of the cats, but she also had an amazing respect for my home and my things. Helen was always on-time and prepared. When I returned, it was obvious that my boys were sad to see her go. I’m pretty sure they like her more than they like me. ? I recommend Helen to anyone, and everyone! She gets 10 stars from me.

After our meet and great, I felt comfortable leaving my baby George an 8 year old spoiled sweetie with Helen but throughout the week each time I heard from her I was more and more relieved to know what good hands he was in. I am happy to give Helen a five star rating (out of five.) Thank you so much Helen!
