I work from home and operate on a very flexible schedule where I can tend to animal care as needed. I have my own 1.5-year-old kitty, so caring for pets is already a regular part of my daily routine. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just providing companionship, I’m able to give animals the attention and care they need throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a safe and private neighborhood where many residents often walk their dogs. I even take my cat on walks! There are grass fields and a park nearby for your pup to run around. I prioritize creating a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or medication. I also take time to bond with each animal so they feel genuinely cared for and not just looked after.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is the deep connection I naturally form with animals—I treat them with the same respect and understanding I give to people. I’ve been told many times that pets who are usually shy or cautious warm up to me quickly, which I see as a reflection of my calm and gentle approach. I also have experience caring for both energetic puppies and more sensitive senior pets, and I always adjust my care to meet their individual needs.

Helen was a fantastic dog sitter! Communication was clear and consistent, and we really appreciated the regular photo and video updates while we were away. Most importantly, our dog came home happy and relaxed. Would absolutely book again!

This was my first time leaving my puppy and I was nervous since he was so young. When we did the meet and greet, her sweet and gentle spirit was reassuring and I knew my puppy was going to be in good hands! I’ll definitely book with Helen again😊

Very satisfied with our pups time with Helen. She was super attentive to our pups needs to go out to potty so much. They played a lot and she bought some toys herself. Very communicative with pics as well. Would def recommend!
