Reliable & Loving Pet Walker/Sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up in a household with three dogs and four cats! I have been walking, watching, and taking care of animals for most of my life. I truly believe that animals are a part of our family and should be treated as such! I myself have a four year old pup named Layla, and she is the light of my life.

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.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe that animals should only be treated with love, and gentle care, and that dogs are as good as the people caring for them! Making sure I take the time to make your pet comfortable means a lot to me, as I would want someone to do the same with my dog! I have a fenced in front yard as well as a fenced in backyard! If I am boarding your pet, my dog will be staying at my family’s home so your pet feels 100% at ease.
