Highlights
Pet care experience
These paws were made for walking
I've walked and dogsat for neighbors and family for several years. Dogs say I'm a reliable walker, patient about stopping to smell everything, and an excellent source of head rubs.
Cat care experience
Helen also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Having someone present to dogsit our dog is reassuring when we're traveling!
I have rebooked Helen several times now for pet sitting/house sitting and have been so happy with her care! She is extremely consistent, reliable, and communicative. Highly recommend.
Helen did a great job, was the second time she took care of my cat. Will hire her again for sure!
Awesome having Nell keep our dog Ziggy company! Very understanding of Ziggy’s anxieties and needs.
Wonderful job dropping in for our cat. Gave food, fresh water, cleaned the litter box and provided love and entertainment for our little monster!
Professional and completed all the care for our senior cat including several oral and topical medications. Provide thorough notes and photos. Thank you!!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have lots of practice at blocking doors as I open them to stop escape artists, and at corralling critters into separate rooms for meals. On walks I stay alert and keep a firm hand on the leash at all times, because I know even the calmest of dogs can get startled.
A typical day
Dogs' excitement gets me excited for walks! I love to see my neighborhood through a dog's eyes, so we'll take our time exploring every sidewalk.
- CatsHelen can host up to 1 pet per night
- Let me know if your dog has any behaviors that might make walks tricky. Do I need to shorten the leash near squirrels? Will your dog leap to meet every new friend? The more I know the better I can keep your pup happy and safe.
