Friendly & Caring Dog Sitter

Located in Ashburn, I live with my dog, Kai (a Doxie-Beagle mix), my partner, Jordan, and our son (born April 2024). I have plenty of experience boarding dogs for friends over the years & now am bringing that experience to Rover. I would love to get to know you & your best friend, giving you the peace of mind needed while you're away! I look forward to providing an excellent experience for your buddy.

Helen is one of the only people we feel comfortable leaving our dog with! She is caring, professional, and communicates well! Incredibly grateful to have found her, being able to travel and know our dog is safe is priceless.

Loved the picture and text updates - our big boy Austin was well-taken care of! Helen did a great job of giving him his oral meds twice a day as well. Would def book again!

Helen was wonderful! I highly recommend her to take care of your pup. We were very nervous leaving our 3-year-old rambunctious dog with just anyone and she was so good with him. She sent pictures and updates and made us feel comfortable about leaving our dog. Her home was so welcoming and she couldn't have been more accommodating. All I have to do is say her name and Sammie wags his tail, I know he was well taken care of. I would not hesitate to leave him with her again.

Pets

A typical day

When a dog visits, I love to stroll around the neighborhood on a long walk! I am open to social outings with dogs but prefer to avoid busy dog parks with most furry friends.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat

Let me know what needs your dog may have & we can discuss the best way to care for your friend. I prefer a dog that doesn’t need extensive medical care given my level of expertise (oral meds are O.K.).
