Animal Lover at Heart

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover at heart. I grew up with family dogs and cats and have 10 years of experience with them. I also have experience with aggressive and shy cats. I even have experience with kittens. I have seen the ups and downs of being a pet parent (Mostly Ups of course!) To me they are part of the family and not just a "pet". They are loving, smart, and deserve nothing but the best. Walks during the summer : For your pup's saftey, during the summer heat (80 degrees and up), I will always walk them on grass or in the shade. For dogs with sensitive skin I can apply sunscreen. If it is too hot or if there is a heat wave, I can take your pup for a short walk, then can spend the rest of the time back at your home and in your yard (if you have one ). I do require a meet and greet prior to booking, so please no last minute requests unless we've already met. If you have any questions, please ask.

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.

Helen was amazing! You can tell she really cares about bonding with pets. She gave us many updates and was very communicative. Don’t hesitate to book her, she’s very trustworthy!

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!

Safety, trust & environment

When watching a fur baby at their home, I make sure to get familiar with the environment and any possible safe hazards. I like to stick to their usual schedule when it comes to feeding, walking, and playing.

Information Helen C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about any food and/or diet restrictions. Also any environmental allergies. I would also like to know about any behavioral issues.

A typical day

Walks to/at the park. If you have yard, we can play catch. If it is ok with the pup's parents, I like to carry snacks and award basic good behavior. I also like to award pup's with lots of love, hugs, and back scratches. I also can do things like brush your pup.
