Pet care experience

Loving, caring fur baby mama

I have been a pet owner, both dogs and cats for over 30 years. My pets have lived long, loving lives. Senior pet care has been an honor and a joy for me and my family. I am a current volunteer at an animal shelter doing what I can to help find good homes and loving families for the animals in our care. I have 2 years experience working for a non-profit cat rescue organization training volunteers to handle and clean care for the animals. There's nothing in this world that brings more joy into my life than loving on animals.

Helen took the best care of my boy, Enzo! She walks him often, takes him on fun adventures, and always keeps me updated. I truly appreciate how attentive and caring she is with him. I would 100% recommend Helen! Enzo absolutely loves her, and that means the world to me. I can’t thank Helen enough for taking such great care of my boy! ❤️🐾

Helen took great care of my almost 10 week kitten! I was a little nervous since he was so young but I could tell she (and her family) loved him like their own for the week she watched him. She sent me photos and videos every day, which was awesome too.

Helen did a great job getting our two dogs to trust her. They instantly took a liking to her . She was gentle and caring and the two of them enjoyed being with her . Debra

We had a great experience with Helen! They were friendly, kind, and clearly cared about our dog. We got updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Our dog was happy and well cared for—we would absolutely book again and highly recommend them! 🐾

Helen was a great caretaker for my dog! She was quick to communicate, shared pictures of her playing with my dog multiple times over the 2 day watch, and I could just tell me dog was happy and well exercised upon pickup. Would definitely book again! Thanks Helen!

I can’t recommend Helen enough as a pet sitter! She has watched both my dogs and cats multiple times, and every experience has been wonderful. Helen goes above and beyond to make sure my pets feel comfortable and loved while I’m away. What really sets Helen apart is her genuine care and attention to detail. My dogs absolutely adore her, and she always keeps me updated with photos and messages, which gives me total peace of mind. I’ve trusted her with overnight stays, and I always return to happy, relaxed pets and a tidy home. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and truly dedicated to your pets’ well-being, Helen is the sitter you want. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Tell me about your fur baby: Diet and feeding schedule What makes them happy? What makes them nervous? What to avoid? Do they have any allergies or medical conditions I should be aware of? Do they like to be pet or do they prefer their space? How often should I let them out? Describe their sleep habits? Do they get anxious in a new environment and what can I do to help them be comfortable?
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.
