Here for the walks and snuggles

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of friends and neighbors pets from cats and dogs to ferrets. Some call me the animal whisperer as all have loved me as much as I have loved them. I grew up with cats and got a dog myself this last year.

Helen is wonderful! A family member recommended Helen and I understand why they did. Helen was always kind, understanding , patient, and did an outstanding job communicating how the visits went. Thank you for taking such good care of Pippa, Helen!

Helen is amazing! Our dog Butter loved her time with Helen, and my wife and I felt totally at ease before, during, and after her stay. Helen was extremely helpful, sent us pictures of Butter throughout her stay, and made our dog feel right at home. We would recommend her to anyone and have our dog stay with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much!

Helen watched our “zoo” for a week-long trip for us and we would absolutely hire her again. We have two dogs and two cats and Helen took excellent care of them so we didn’t have to worry about our fur-babies while on vacation. It was an immense relief knowing she loves animals as much as (if not, more than) we do. She has a kind heart, shows up on time, and even sent pics of their time together to make sure we wouldn’t worry.
