Pet care experience

Personal attention for your dog or cat

I regularly look after dogs for my neighbour and family as well as for a number of customers via Rover - doggy day care, housesitting, taking them for walks, dog sitting, toilet breaks and more. Also love cats and often have feline visitors to the house and have looked after cats for Rover customers. My sister's dogs are rescue dogs from a puppy farm and rescue centre - they are wonderful and it's great to see them coming out of their shells and becoming the dogs they are meant to be. My neighbour's dog is a rescue dog from Romania. I understand how to work with their foibles and make sure they are safe and well taken care of as they each have their own personalities. I am used to looking after single dogs and pairs of dogs and will make sure they get the individual attention that they need.

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure I get to know the dog or cat and understand its personality as that's so important. Every animal is different so I talk to the owners about what they need. Meet and greets are very important.

Helen has been amazing with Pepe! He is treated like one of the family, he regards this as his 2nd home! So reassuring to know he is completely at home 🙂

Dog Walking • Oct 22, 2025

So pleased that we have found Helen on the Rover app . She is great with our dog George who can be anxious and reactive and after being refused by a number of walkers due to our dogs issues Helen was more than happy to help out with walks.

Good to know what your dog or cat needs and is used to so that I can ensure that I look after them well for you. Let me know if your dog or cat has any issues with other dogs or cats or children so that we can avoid or manage any difficult situations.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
