Highlights
Pet care experience
Speaks fluent Woof 🐕
Hi I’m Helen and I’m a seasoned dog walker/ sitter who knows how to handle all kinds of pups—including reactive dogs and those with rescue backgrounds. I understand every dog is different, and I’m patient, gentle, and experienced in helping nervous or shy dogs feel safe and loved. I offer in-home care so your dog can stay in their happy place (your couch), stick to their routine, and avoid the stress of noisy kennels or unfamiliar surroundings. From belly rubs and walkies to mealtime and playtime, I’ve got it all covered. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit or an overnight stay, I make sure your dog gets all the love and attention they’re used to (maybe even a little extra 😉) 🎾 Fetch? Of course. 💊 Meds? No problem. 📸 Cute photo updates? Always. 🛋 Couch cuddling expert 🦴 Treat dispenser 📸 Will send you ridiculous amounts of cute photo updates 💩 Yes, I pick that up too. No scary kennels. No sad puppy eyes. Just belly rubs, butt wiggles, and great walks from someone who knows how to speak fluent “woof.”

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
From energetic puppies to calm senior dogs, I tailor every visit to your dog’s unique personality and needs—keeping them happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I only use positive reinforcement 🐾 I am a non smoker & non drinker. I always bring my own food, drinks and bedding (so you don’t need to worry about preparing for my stay) I am clean, tidy and respect your privacy. While at your home I’m happy to do light housework & gardening including poo picking.
Ratings and reviews
Helen is absolutely fantastic! She's soo good with dogs, is clearly passionate, patient and has a wealth of experience
Helen was very attentive from start to finish with care and updates throughout, she went above and beyond. It is clear she loves animals and that animals love her back! Our little cat warmed to Helen instantly. She went as far as sharing some of her Christmas turkey with our cat, which he loved. Thank you, can’t recommend enough!
Helen looked after my rescue greyhound and Staffie, she was great and the dogs looked super happy and comfortable with her :) I also got plenty of updates from her which gave me loads of peace of mind! Will definitely be booking again
Our dog greeted Helen like a long lost friend! The second time Helen has sat for us and again she treated Oonagh so well! Long exciting new walks and dog friends, new experiences that Helen had planned in advance. She took great care of our dog and our home - we will definitely be booking Helen again and can thoroughly recommend her!!!
Helen has been a huge hit with our dog …and us! She is obviously very experienced and coped with everything excellently. Helen was very respectful of our home on her stay for 5 days while we were abroad. She kept us up to date with lots of photos and kept the dog immensely entertained with walks, toys, new experiences and places! Have booked to use Helen again as we were so impressed.
Helen was really good with our nervous lurcher. She really took her time to get him used to her with multiple visits before the day and he was so chilled out when we got home, he must have really enjoyed his walks with her. We got some lovely pics of him out walking and asleep in the house which showed how relaxed he was. Happy dog, happy owners 😀
