Information Helen N. would like to know about your pet

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?

A typical day

We can take a nice walk up a nearby hill and see the beautiful Monterey bay. On our way back we'll visit a big dog park. There are nearby dog friendly beaches to enjoy our day. If your pet is a homebody, I've got a large, fenced-in backyard for your pet to safely play fetch or just lay around and chill.

Pet care experience

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 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!
