Pet care experience
Your Pup’s New Best Friend 🐾
While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve always loved spending time with them—whether that’s walking friends’ and family’s pups, helping with feedings, or just giving extra love and playtime. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality and needs, and I make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while we’re together. Because I don’t have my own pup, I can devote all of my attention and energy to yours! I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes. I take the time to follow your routines closely, whether that means slow strolls for seniors, extra playtime for energetic pups, or just plenty of belly rubs and companionship. My goal is to give your dog not just a walk, but a fun and positive experience every time.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always do my best to keep their routines consistent so they feel comfortable and secure. That means following your instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, walks, playtime, or cuddle breaks. I give plenty of attention and affection, but I also respect each pet’s boundaries and personality. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Helen helped us out super last minute to dog sit at our place. She was very communicative and friendly and cared well for our Hallie girl. So appreciative of your help, Helen!
I've known Helen for over a year and consider Helen as my first choice for pet/house sitting. Helen is a contentious and thoughtful caregiver to my cats. Helen is an exceptionally responsible person who treats my cats the affection and care Helen would extend to Helen's own pets. Because of the prior reasons and Helen's honesty and reliability, I highly recommend Helen for pet and house sitting.
Helen took amazing care of my two cats on several occasions! She very clearly cared about their wellbeing and happiness, taking time to bond with them and learn how they play. I could tell they both liked her a lot! Helen was also very responsible, paying close attention to all of the information I shared with her about their care and any medical needs.

Schedule
Since I’m currently not working a traditional job, I have full availability to devote to pet care. This means I can be flexible with scheduling, whether you need early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Having the time and energy to focus completely on your pet allows me to give them consistent attention, companionship, and care throughout the week.

- I like to know as much as possible about a pet before caring for them so I can provide the best possible experience. Important details include their personality, feeding schedule, favorite activities, any health needs or medications, and how they react to strangers or other animals. Knowing these things helps me keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care.
