About Helen S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will follow your written instructions. Feeding, medication, brushing, walking, sleeping. If your pet has had a trauma, I need to know about it. Communication is key. If I am at your home on trash day, I will take out the trash. Let me know what day it is. I will collect your mail. Your home will be treated with respect. Non smoking homes only. Your pet will be loved.
Information Helen S. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if your pet has experienced a trauma. Let me know the best way to administer medication to your pet. I want to do it the way you do it. For injections, I need specific instructions. If there are things that scare your pet, thunderstorms, etc., it helps for me to know this. Things that overly excite your dog, I would like to know. This is especially helpful when walking your dog. Where does your pet sleep? Where does your pet like to hide? Having a detailed written schedule is very important. I want to provide your fur baby with the best care. Communication is the best step to achieve that.
A typical day
I will follow your instructions. There will be lots of pets and snuggles. If there is a fenced in area and your pet loves to play fetch, I can do this as long as your pet is interested. Taking walks is a lot of fun if that is what your pet is used to. There will be water breaks during active play. For cats, if they are wanting to interact, cat toys are fun. Lap time (depending on size) is a favorite for both cats and dogs. I had a cat that if a lap was available, she was there.

Pet care experience
My love of dogs started in 4th grade when my family adopted the best black Labrador ever! We named him Smoky. I fed him and cared for him. He loved to take walks and fetch sticks. I am organized and can follow a written schedule. My daughter has been doing Rover for a couple of years now. She has taught me the ins and outs of caring for pets in another person’s home. She has encouraged me to do this due to my capabilities and love of pets.
Cat care experience
Helen also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Helen is the best!!! Can’t say enough about her care and attention not only to our dog but our home!
Helen came on fairly short notice to house and dog sit for a week. The house was perfect when we got back and the my two big golden doodles were very happy. I was so glad we had someone here we could trust.
Helen is wonderful! She responds quickly and was able to accommodate last minute requests. She is great with our puppy always keeping her entertained. We will definitely continue to use Helen’s services.
Helen was very communicative and let us know that all was well throughout our trip. She took great care of our senior dog and kept our younger dog on his regular exercise routine.
