Highlights
Pet care experience
At your service
Experience with handling dogs, cats, horses and chickens! Let me help you and your furry family member(s). Able to handle pet sitting, walking, playing and feedings at very flexible times. I’m very accessible and responsive. Every pet is unique and has their own needs whether that’s food restriction or more time due to heightened anxiety. I have experience with senior pets too and am able to administer medications or specialized care at your request. As my hours are flexible, I’m here to make things work for you. Thank you for reading, looking forward to working with you and your non-human family member(s) soon! Also capable of caring for other small mammals and reptiles (ferrets, chinchillas, snakes, lizards, etc.) I will respond within several hours of a request. Give me a try. You will not be disappointed 🤗

Safety, trust & environment
My pets are free to roam at home, they come and go as they please with our doggie door (which our cat also knows how to use). There is an invisible fence that our dog will not pass so we know she’s safe. All and all we give them the most freedom with safety in mind, so they can be comfortable indoors OR outdoors. We do lock them in at night for safety purposes. As for your pet, this is a case by case basis. Willing to crate if necessary or whatever else your pet may require and is used to doing with you.
Ratings and reviews
Helen was a pleasure to have in our home and care for our Pup. She went above and beyond. She exceeded our expectations and I felt very comfortable having her in our home. Thank you for everything Helen!
I’m so thankful I found Helen!!! It’s such an added stress to have to leave your fur babies for extended periods of time. My ideal situation was to find someone to either stay at our home or just be able to visit for hours at a time when we’re away. When we first did our meet and greet, they took to Helen immediately. Huge plus! The exchange of energy was perfect. She’s so communicative and gives me peace of mind letting me know the babies are being cared for and loved. Needless to say, she’s super reliable, and very easy to work with. Our “Go To” now too!
Helen takes such great care of our senior girl! We’re so happy we found her on Rover! Thanks again, Helen! 🤗
Helen is an amazing dog sitter! Great updates, communicator, pictures! Thank you so much!
Helen is a great pet sitter! I highly recommend using her to care for your pet and personally would use her again. She is extremely professional, responsive and communicative. Helen checked in on my cat for 8 days while I was on vacation and I felt at ease having there to care for her. She was very responsive to my questions and did a great job of following up and making sure she had all of her needs met.
As a pet parent, Helen is exactly the person I would leave my loved one(s) with. If you have a puppy or a kitten, an older dog or a cat, she is the person to trust. Puppies would get plenty of attention and play time with some basic stimulations. Sit, down, stay and a lot of play time. Kittens would get plenty of feather chasing and hide and seek time. For your cat and older doggie, especially if they are in their couch potato/relaxing years , she can keep your pet company with a warm cup of cocoa and a book. Helen follows instructions to the ‘T’, so if your pet has special instructions for care and feeding you can rest easy that your kitten/cat or puppy/dog, will be well cared for in your absence. I have two 7 month old miniature dachshunds ( Tina and Turner), a 6 month old miniature poodle (Teddy), 13 year old bull dog mix (Bella) and 7 year old cat (Tom). They all love her. I have left all of them in her care and she’s cared for my Bella over the past few years. Helen is the best and we appreciate her !

I have a rotating schedule, meaning availability changes week to week but I plan ahead and can move things around to accommodate a schedule that can work better for you and your animal family.
