I Will be a Friend to Your Pets!
Pet care experience
I've been a care taker and friend to many different types of animals all of my life. From caring for my neighbor's pets to volunteering at the Animal Humane Shelter to shadowing veterinarians appointments and even observing dog surgeries. I've grown up with dogs and other animals beginning at age 5 when I had my first fish, hamster and eventually puppy. I lived with and cared for our golden doodle, Champ and our pug, Winnie. I can administer insulin shots to diabetic dogs if required, trim nails and just offer all around love, safety and care. As a college student now I am studying to become a marine mammologist, so I hope to continue to be close to animals for a really long time.
Reviews
Helen is a very kind and warmhearted person. My dog really liked her. Thank you, Helen!
Helen is a wonderful dog sitter. After our meet and greet a few days earlier, Olive ran right into Helen's house. We received lovely photos of Olive's time there and it was clear she was well cared for. We thank Helen for her kind attention to our senior dog and recommend her highly. Thanks Helen!
Helen is so sweet! Her communication was impeccable. I was visiting town to attend a concert and just needed a few hours of sitting. She made the entire experience seamless. I was a ball of anxiety prior to meeting her, yet Champ went right to her wagging his tail and then walked away with her never looking back. I knew that HE knew he was in good hands! I would absolutely trust Helen to Champ-sit anytime!
It was our first time leaving our pup overnight with someone else but us, so we were a bit nervous. Helen sent us pictures of her and Senna going on hikes, which he super enjoyed. Communication was really good and we loved the updates we received from her! Thanks, again, Helen!

I currently live with three other college girls in a dog friendly apartment. When I'm meeting new pets I will build a strong and kind connection with them. I'll be patient as they get to know me. I'll look out for them with love and care!
Home
Information Helen K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog is a service dog or a dog with special needs. That way we can prepare and make sure they’re as comfortable as possible with us.
A typical day
I always ask the owners for permission to bring the dogs/pets on campus or the beach. Otherwise, we hangout and relax at the apartment with a walk or two :).
Services
Helen can host
Availability
I'm currently a student in college but I have days off to be able to care for animals. As a college student I'm planning to continue Rover throughout the year! I can be pretty flexible.
