Kind, caring and experienced animal lover
Pet care experience
I'm lucky enough to have a gained a lifetime of experience looking after animals of all kinds as I grew up on a farm in Ireland. I had my very own Cockapoo for the past 5 years while living in Ireland, my family take care of him at the moment. Over the past few months I have gained experience in caring for household pets across the city of London also. I believe a calm exterior is the best approach when managing animal behaviours, as in my experience presenting with fear/anxiety can only stress animals further. I would relish the opportunity to look after your pet as since moving to London I miss worthwhile time spent caring for animals.
Reviews
Helen was a Godsend, agreeing to housesit for three nights with my rescue pup Otto at very short notice, when his original sitter had to pull out due to an emergency. She was responsive, friendly and extremely flexible given the short notice, and Otto warmed to her as soon as they met. While I was away I received pictures and updates, and got back to a very content pup and spotless flat. Thanks Helen! Otto and I will definitely be calling on you again ?
Helen was great with our dog, Chloe! She stayed at our house for five days, left it incredibly clean and was great at providing regular updates! Helen was calm and reliable and was even comfortable walking Chloe twice a day despite her being dog-reactive! We really appreciated Helen’s help and would recommend her to others!

Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep to the routine that the pet is used to while they are in my care. I give them space and time to get to know me at their own pace, gradually building trust as some pets can be apprehensive around new people.
Information Helen C. would like to know about your pet
I would need to know how the dog is around other dogs, is he used to being let of the lead, what are the length of his walks usually, does he have any health issues I need to be aware of etc.
A typical day
Parks local to the dogs home, anywhere they have space to run and roam. I would also incorporate different forms of play into our walks for example fetch.
Services
Helen can watch in your home
Availability
I'm currently on a break from a career in school teaching so I have loads of time daily to dedicate to walking and playing with your pets.
