Let me know what specific things your dog loves. Please let me know if your dog has any injuries, special needs, dietary restrictions, or medication needs.

A typical day

Our day will include lots of love and new smells! I am used to taking my dog out on walks everywhere from the beach to the Santa Cruz mountains! One of my favorite walks is the roaring camp Henry Cowell trail, on the other side of town my favorite walks are twin lakes neighborhood park and Pleasure Point

Loving & Flexible Sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up in a house with three dogs and four cats, so taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life. I have been dog and cat sitting for others for over 8 years. I have a dog of my own, Layla, who is genuinely the light of my life, so I completely understand how important it is to know your pet is with someone who will love and care for them while you’re away. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, playtime, and keeping your pet company throughout the day. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible! I have years of experience walking, watching, and caring for both dogs and cats, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet and their individual personality. Whether they love long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and get some extra attention, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. I truly believe our pets are family, and I’ll always treat yours like they’re part of mine. You can expect lots of love, attention, and plenty of cute updates while they’re with me! 🐾

Helen helped us out with a last minute request after our dog's surgery when he needed someone to be with him non stop during the day. She was such a godsend and so flexible, and able to work with our very energetic pup in a cone who needed a lot of patience and TLC. I cannot recommend Helen highly enough!!

Helen has watched my dog Henry many times, just not through Rover! I am out of town for work often and knowing I have Helen to help out is such a relief. My dog is my literal child and I don’t trust many people with him, but I always know he is in good hands with Helen.
