Loving 'one pup' sitter ♥︎

✨ MY BACKSTORY ✨ Growing up in England, our beloved Border Collie, Orsa, was the heart of our home 🐾 and the reason dogs have always been such a big part of my life. Over the years, friends and family would often leave their dogs in our care while travelling, and I quickly realised how much I loved creating a calm, loving “home away from home” for pups while their humans were away. ☀️ MY LIFE NOW ☀️ Now living in sunny California with my husband and our dog-loving toddler, I’ve continued that same style of care here in Pasadena. We are a calm, one-pup-at-a-time household, which means your dog receives plenty of individual attention, affection, and a peaceful environment — never a chaotic pack setting. We live in a clean, single-story home with a large, fully enclosed yard, perfect for relaxed playtime, sniffing, sunbathing, and cozy naps indoors. Our home is best suited to dogs who enjoy a serene family environment and want to feel truly settled while their owners are away 🏡💛 Our curious little one absolutely adores dogs and is gentle and respectful of their boundaries. For everyone’s comfort and safety, all visiting dogs must be friendly with children. We can’t wait to welcome your pup into our little family and help them feel safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾

Doggy Day Care • Jun 24, 2026

Helen was great for doggy day care. Kept me updated and made me feel at ease after leaving my dog Goose with her during the day. Took him on three walks and he came back home ready to eat dinner and nap! Sent updated photos and all! 10/10 would recommend booking again with her.

Doggy Day Care • Jan 26, 2024

Just hired Helen for daycare for the first time and she was great! I felt immediately comfortable sending my doggo out for the day with her. She sent great updates and got my couch potato dog to do a hike. Thanks, Helen!

Helen is so caring and attentive. Feel like Biscuit is in very good hands when he’s with her.

I am at home full-time so your pet will always be my priority. For home-visits and walks, organising times convenient for you and your pet can be easily arranged. My husband, Ahmet (another animal lover!) works from home regularly also.

Safety, trust & environment

We don't have any other pets and we don't accept multiple bookings at once so your fur-baby will always be our focus. Our home is a bright and spacious bungalow on a tree-lined street with our own fenced yard for your pup to play in. We are incredibly active people who spend a lot of time outdoors and we are committed to offering your pet a holiday of it's own whilst staying with us!

A typical day

We love to be outside as much as possible, spending time in nature and enjoying fresh air. We are fortunate to live close to the Pasadena Rose Bowl which we enjoy for walks, yoga & picnics! We are also a short car drive away from an abundance of hiking trails should this sort of activity suit your pup.

Helen can host up to 2 pets per night
So we can prepare to offer them the best care for your pet, please let us know the following (either during Meet & Greet or via Rover message): - Does your pet have any health or behavioural concerns? - Does your pet show any aggression to other dogs, people or animals? - Can your pet be left alone and if so, for how long? (We don't feel comfortable leaving dogs alone for long, but it would be good to know whether or not we can make other plans for up to 4 hours whilst your pet is in our home). - Is your pet happy to travel in the car? - Does your pet sleep through the night (approx 11pm-7am)? - Does your pet excessively vocalize? In order to be respectful to our neighbors, dogs that bark a lot might not be the best fit. (We fully expect some vocalization and barking, but please let us know if they are typically easily triggered by nearby sounds).
