Helen can care for
Availability
I recently graduated college early, I am quite busy but I try to keep my schedule on Rover updated and correct. Before I take jobs I make sure it works, and if I accept and it doesn’t work for me, I keep to my promise and the owners instructions and move my own schedule around if I need to.

About Helen S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am only able to pet sit at a clients house. However, I always read and learn an owners instructions and obey their time preferences and schedules for their animals, even if I have to wake up at 4am and adapt to anything a pet needs. While I can’t take care of any animals in my personal home, I make sure to keep spaces clean and not touch things in houses unless given permission.
Information Helen S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about medication, specific anxiety or fears a pet has like sounds or locations or if they are frightful or don’t like to be pet a certain way. An animals preference and personal space is super important.
A typical day
I have and can do anything. I can provide comfort and snuggles or walks and play time around the city with fetch or tug of war. With cats or other animals I’m willing to play or snuggle, whatever a pet may need.

Pet care experience
I have worked on Rover for a few months now, and do my best to be open and truthful in communication and, I am determined to take good care of whatever animals I encounter no matter what schedule I have. In the rare times Ive had to cancel a booking I make sure to tell the client weeks in advance and make sure that they can get someone to replace me. I’ve had animals my whole life, from snakes, lizards, rats, cats and dogs. I understand that it’s important to respect not only each animals space and preferences but listen to owners instructions, rereading even if I’ve pet sit for them multiple times. I’ve pet sat for dogs with severe anxiety, old dogs that poop and pee around the house. I'm fit to give dogs walks and remember to give any medication necessary and in the correct dosage. I've taken care of high and low energy and I’ve even pet sit and fed horses, a donkey and a mule. So no animal is too big or odd for me. I have experience with reptiles as well, growing up with snakes, and owning a bearded dragon myself, I know how to feed, clean and interact with them all. While taking care of animals I always respect the household, even hand cleaning dishes, sweeping or brushing a pets fur. I do my best to leave the house in the state I found in or better, leaving the clients things alone unless given permission.

Reviews


We highly recommend Helen for your pets. She was kind and loving, sending pictures daily of her interactions with our cat and dog. I never worried about their well being once. She handled herself well, took good care of our home and fur kids. She’s very personable, so easy to get to know. I know my pets miss her already.
Helen S. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.

Helen showed up at the agreed upon time. The house was in great shape when we returned and we got daily updates on the dogs. We would definitely use her again:





Helen was very considerate and caring with my little fur tribe and home. She left the place near and clean. She provided regular updates. We highly recommend Helen. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
