Pet care experience

Leash Leader and Purr-fect Sitter

I have 39 years of experience caring for animals. I have owned my home in Fitler Square for 15 years and have been running a cleaning company for the past 10 years. In addition to cleanings, I would care for their animals. Throughout my life, I've had: dogs, cats, parakeets, snakes, a hedgehog, a rabbit, and hamsters. I'm the first person my family and friends ask to care for their animals while they're away. I absolutely love and am passionate about dogs. I trained all three of my dogs from 8 weeks to their senior years. I'm also experienced at administering medication, which requires patience and assurance that they'll be ok. I'm excited for my visit with your dog. We'll take a walk to smell his/her favorite spots, go to one of the parks, play ball or with their favorite toy, and of course lots of pets and belly rubs. I will also feed and give fresh water, if needed. It makes me so happy when your dog is happy. I know how stressful it can be being away from your dog. Rest assured, I will care for your dog as if it were my own. I will ensure I'm respectful in your home, and messes are cleaned. If you would like me to do any additional work in your home, care for other animals, or clean, etc., please let me know. I look forward to meeting and taking care of your dog.

Helen was absolutely amazing! It was her first time with Duke and I can tell he loved her already! She kept me in the loop with EVERYTHING! How many potty stops he took on the walk, when he ate/drank and even sent me numerous pics and videos of him walking around the city!! Cannot recommend her more!!!

Helen is such a pro! She took great care of Reese's for 5 days while we were on vacation. She sent daily updates plus plenty of pictures every day. She also helped by sharing some training tips for my stubborn beagle lol. Looking forward to rebooking with her in the future!

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog or cat's mental and physical ability. I'll take your dog for a walk to smell their favorite spots and/or a new area and take potty breaks. We'll play ball, or with their favorite toy, at your home/mine, or at the park. I will brush your dog, give pets, give belly rubs, and reward with treats. When I'm caring for your cat/cats, I will play with them, brush and reward them with treats. When your cat/dog is happy, it brings me such joy. I'm open to hearing other activities you would like me to do with him/her.
