Safety, trust & environment

I understand that routine is important not just to a pet parent, but also to the pet themselves. This is why I always respect a routine and complete the tasks given by the family as they were assigned. I understand that it is not easy to let another person into your home, so I always do my best to be as respectful as possible, not only to your pet, but to your home and belongings as well.

Information Helen C. would like to know about your pet

To help me provide the best service to you and your furry friend, it is beneficial for me to know what commands your dog follows (such as waiting to eat) and any special needs that your dog may have. Knowing any triggers for barking or aggression will help as well.

A typical day

I love to provide both exercise and enrichment for dogs, as I think both are very important. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing a game outside, or giving them a treat puzzle, I am happy to help keep your pup busy.

Pets

Friend of fur, feathers, and fins!

Pet care experience

I have been caring for and lending my love to furry friends for over 10 years. From dog sitting to rat sitting, and everything in between! I will care for your four legged (or finned) family member as if they were my own. I believe building trust with an animal is a very important step in caring for them. I have experience with dog and cat sitting, as well as puppies, kittens, and exotic pets. I also have worked with animals with certain health care needs, such as pets with diabetes, and I am happy to help take care of your plants while you are away.

Helen did an amazingly awesome job taking care of Phyllis and Curly while we were out of town. She was very reliable twice a day with feeding, watering, giving medicine to Phyllis, and taking care of the litter boxes. She sent us awesome pictures and messages twice a day. She would spend some extra time with Phyllis. We would definitely recommend her to other people and we’ll definitely reach out to her again in the future to take care of our fur babies. She’s very trustworthy, kind, and caring. We give her 5 stars all the way! Thank you Helen for all you did! It was wonderful feeling to have going out of town knowing that your kitties would be cared for.

Helen is AMAZING!!!! My sweet, little cat has always been upset with me for days after returning from a trip and has always lost weight. Not with Helen! After a ten day trip, she was happy, loving and weighted the same (she's only 7.5lbs.). HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

Helen took great care of our boys! She was willing to come meet them beforehand and worked with them even when they were hesitant of someone they didn't know. I would recommend her and certainly use her again! Thank you.
