Pet care experience
Reliable, 1:1 Care. Here to help!
Hello! I’m Helen 👋🏼 a Neurodivergent human who relishes the company of animals. 🐕 I've previously owned a Beagle x Whippet, a Greyhound, and also fostered dogs. My experience means I know the importance of patience and routine in helping animals settle into new environments. 💛 If you’re looking for someone who'll treat your pet with genuine care, and not just as a side hustle, swing me a message.

5 star care.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Looked after my Labrador Stella as if it was her own. Would definitely recommend Helen to anyone looking for dog care.
Helen has been great with our cocker Charlie. Took time to understand his needs and followed his regular schedule so Charlie was a happy pup! She also sent us regular updates, including photos and little notes about how things were going. Would definitely recommend and book again ☺️
I’ve never felt happier about leaving my dog with someone. I could tell from the minute I met Helen she was a dog person. She made sure she knew our dog’s daily routine and provided us with regular updates on how she was. Belle settled so easily and can’t wait to go back. To top it all off she was even groomed. Thank you
Helen has been wonderful with our older dog Daisy. Great communication and friendly. I won’t hesitate to book again. And most importantly Daisy had a great time with her new friend!
Helen looked after our dog Buddy numerous times over the years, and we honestly couldn’t ask for better care. She always kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Buddy absolutely loved staying with her and would come home happy, relaxed and clearly well cared for. It was always so reassuring knowing he was in such loving and responsible hands every time. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Helen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Helen is fantastic! Great communication, kind, thinks about every smallest detail to make sure your dog is well looked after, goes the extra mile, and my dog Lulu adores her already. She sent me videos and pictures from the walk and put my mind at ease. Couldn't recommend her more! 🧡

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
⭐️ I have Pet Business Insurance, so this is an extra layer of protection for both of us. 📝 Pet Profiles: My background is in Social Care, so I create a wee 'support plan' profile of your pet which includes emergency contact, likes/dislikes, routines, dietary requirements etc. 🏠I live in a 2 bed flat but have a lovely shared garden, a snug dog bed, standing dog bowls, spare leads and toys for guests. 🤗 I’ll keep you updated, and send pics/videos throughout their stay. 🛋️ I let all pets take their time to sniff around and settle in. I never expect cuddles/contact, although it's obviously ace if/when it happens! as it tells me I'm doing something right.
A typical day
🥎 I'm always up for playtime/tug-o-war!, but if your dog is super chill or shy I shan’t push that on them and will follow their lead. 🌳 I live by the old railway line (water of Leith) and 30min walk from Wardie beach. Prime location for some good walks, sniffs, and dips!.
