Pet loving at-home senior

I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was young. Over the years have focused on dogs, which I love and would love to entertain them while you're gone! I am retiired and have a very flexible schedule. I have a small fenced in yard and deck to keep your fur baby safe while outdoors. Have a crate if requested. Otherwise, regular walks to keep your fur baby happy.

Helen was fabulous. She hosted both our sweet pups in her own home and spoiled them with all the walks during the Christmas holiday. I never once worried about whether they were safe and getting attention. She was extremely responsive and provided consistent updates. My dogs loved her so much it was hard to pull them away. 10/10 recommend Helen, worth every penny!

Our pup loved being with Helen and we knew she was in good hands! We will absolutely be using her anytime we need someone to watch our girl!

Helen was wonderful with Lolo and Dozer!! Normally I have a sitter stay at our home but we were traveling AND moving so needed the dogs out of our house. Helen has the perfect set up for dog sitting (a fenced in yard!) which is exactly what I was looking for to make sure our dogs would be safe but also get plenty of outside time. Both of our dogs have some unique habits (lol!) and Helen handled them very well. I’m a nervous dog mom and she sent pictures daily of Lo and Doze having fun. It put me at ease! Thank you Helen!

Helen has a great setup with a nice little backyard and a mellow older (small) dog. My dog was pretty shy, but Helen took good care of her even with her quirks and I felt totally comfortable leaving her and not worrying about her while we were gone. Thanks!

Helen did an amazing job with our sweet Cooper! I could tell he was well cared for and had a great time. Helen sent pictures frequently, which made the whole family so happy. We will definitely be using Helen again!
