Availability
Pet care fits naturally into our daily lives. I work full-time with two days a week from home, and my partner works from home full-time — so there is always someone around to give your dog plenty of care and attention. As we already have our own little part time furry lodger, long walks, playtime and lots of cuddles are already a big part of our daily routine. With our flexible schedule and weekend availability, we will make sure your pet feels safe, content and part of the family while away from their home.

Safety, trust & environment
All pets in my care are treated like family. In my home, dogs have a safe, comfortable space to relax, sleep, and play. We have a grassed garden for outdoor fun, and we’re just a 10-minute walk from two local parks — perfect for daily walks and adventures. Your dog will always have company — between me and my partner, someone is home full-time during the week, plus we are available on weekends. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including meals, walks, and any special care or medications, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can see how they are doing. Whether your dog is playful, curious, or a little more relaxed, I adapt my care to their personality to ensure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Information Helen D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special requirements ahead of time so that we can prepare for their arrival in advance to help them transition and settle in with ease. It’s important that I know your dog’s routine, feeding times, exercise needs, likes and dislikes, any medical issues or allergies, social preferences, and how they settle or sleep best.
A typical day
When your dog is in my care we will start the day with a 30 minute walk to the local park, followed by their breakfast. They will be with me all day and will enjoy plenty of playtime and cuddles throughout the day, with regular toilet breaks and plenty of time to rest and relax in between. We will have another walk at teatime so more time for play and then dinner and a lovely calm time with cuddles usually on the sofa before bedtime. We can also accommodate the same bedtime routine you adopt at home which we can discuss at time of booking.

Safe Flexible Dog Sitting In A Home Full of Love
Pet care experience
I’m Helen — a lifelong dog lover offering flexible, reliable, and caring dog walking and sitting services. I share a wonderful part-time dog with a family member due to their personal circumstances, and he has been part of our home for over five years. Having him around has reminded me just how much joy, companionship and personality dogs bring to everyday life — and I would love to offer that same love and attention to your furry friend too! Over the years I have owned big dogs, small dogs and everything in between, and have looked after many friends’ and family members’ dogs — from lively puppies to gentle seniors — so I understand how important it is to provide the right balance of exercise, comfort, and affection for each individual dog. I’m confident and comfortable with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Whether your pup is playful and sociable or prefers their own quiet space, I’ll tailor my approach to whatever makes them happiest and most at ease. What I Offer 🐾 Daytime care — company and attention while you are at work or out 🐾 Overnight stays — safe, calm, and loving care for your dog in my own home I’m fully flexible with timings and routines and will always follow your dog’s individual needs and preferences. You can trust that your dog will be in kind, capable, and loving hands.
Reviews
Helen and her family took brilliant care of Ron when we went away... he had a fantastic time!! Ron can be quite a handful but they took him out for wonderful walks, looked after him in the hot weather and gave him tons of cwtches!!! If anything, I think he was gutted when I went to pick him up!!
Once again Helen was amazing looking after Miley. Miley even had a bad belly and Helen was still super accomodating and attentive, giving his frequent updates. Couldn't recommend enough! Thanks Helen
Helen and Ade took such good care of Ava, we're so grateful to have found someone that we know she'll love staying with. She clearly had a fab time with them and they obviously loved her too which was so lovely! Thanks both 😊
Helen was really nice and easy going and often communicated during mileys stay. Miley seemed like she had a great time there. Wild definitely be booking again. Thanks Helen!
