Experienced and caring animal lover
Pet care experience
Dogs: I got my first dog when I was 15, a golden retriever named Sophie. I completely fell in love with her and she was my best friend for 14 years. She came to college with me, and was there during the most important events in my life. I've always loved and connected with dogs (sometimes better than people). I think dogs are such a valuable asset to anyone's life. I currently have a 3 year old golden retriever boy who is sweet and loves to play. I trained him myself, and I bring him around to nursing homes in the area to visit with seniors. I have experience with giving oral and topical medication, post-surgical care, and specialized diets/medical needs. I will care for your dog as if it's my own, and my dog will love having someone to play with! Cats: I've had cats my entire life. I will always have a deep love for cats and their sassy attitudes. I have 2 of my own cats (strictly indoor), and all together I've had 6 cats. I have taken care of friends and family's cats while they're away, I have experience with topical, oral, and subcutaneous medication administration, and a comprehensive understanding of cat behavior. I will take care of your cat as though it's my own, so that you can have a relaxing get-away.
Reviews
Helen is great. Our dog was well taken care of and happy. The communication was great and she also sent a bunch of pictures. Brandy can’t wait to go back 😊
Helen was just wonderful. Winnie had such a good time. I highly recommend Helen to anyone who wants their best pet treated with the utmost care.
Helen is amazingly sweet and compassionate and Reina was instantly at home with Helen and her dog Beau! Her back yard is perfect for playtime, she has toys galore and sent sweet pictures. I would absolutely recommend Helen to take care of your fur family😃🙏🐶
Helen was very flexible with a last minute booking and a quick meet and great. We had a lot of changes to our plans and she was very accommodating and understanding. Sunday was very happy in all the pictures she sent. We would definitely recommend.

Information Helen P. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. I love senior animals and I know sometimes they need a little extra care, so as much information as possible is appreciated!
A typical day
Depending on the weather, I like to spend time in the yard or taking walks! We live by the ocean so walks on the beach are a must! I have tons of toys your dog can choose from to play with! I also love playing with cats, I have a lot of cat toys, catnip, laser pointer etc. I’ll schedule the day around what your pet needs and wants!
