Dog & cat drop-ins & walks

Pet care experience

For the last 5 years, friends have asked me to dog-sit and cat-sit whenever they go on trips. Although I don't have a furry companion of my own (yet) I genuinely enjoy and love spending time with animals of all kinds. It gives me so much joy and I get to help you and your pet. I'm currently working remotely from home, with a flexible schedule, so I can make your pet my first priority! My partner and I are both vaccinated. I only host 1 Rover dog or cat at a time so I can ensure that your pet gets my full 1 on 1 attention. I live 1 block away from 3 different parks with grassy areas for your pup to enjoy during our walk. I also live in a complex with a raised, large yard that is fenced and protected from outside traffic.

Helen took amazing care of Mister! She provided lots of pictures and detailed updates on her drop in visits. She also took care of the apartment and made sure to vacuum up his litter and food crumbs.

Helen went above and beyond and cleaned out the whole litter box enclosure while I was away. My cat was very well taken care of!

Helen was able to do drop in visits for my cat Bugso on super short notice and she sends really good updates. My husband and I looked forward to seeing the pictures she sent every day and we came home to a happy, well-fed, and well-petted kitty!

Helen did an amazing job watching our two cats for us over the holidays. She sent prompt reports, lots of cute pictures and we could tell that they got along great. Unfortunately our cats were a little naughty (stole a treat bag, turned on the stove, etc) but Helen went really above and beyond and cleaned everything up and kept us updated each time. We were really grateful and felt strongly they were in good hands at all times.

Information Helen V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how I can best personalize the care experience for you and your pet. Likewise, please let me know if there's anything I need to be extra mindful or cautious of when caring for your pet (any likes/dislikes, medications, sensitive areas, temperament, etc.)

A typical day

I love going on walks during the day since I live so close to a few parks and right by the water. Your dog will get a very scenic view on our walks. Whenever I can, I take myself on 4 walks everyday (in the morning before work, at lunch, after work, and after dinner). I would be even happier to walk, exercise, feed, play, and watch over your pets when you're not able to. My phones are already full of friends' dog and cat photos so you'll know that I'll for sure take photos of your pets while they're in my care and send them to you so you can see how they're doing.

I'm currently working from home with a flexible schedule and my partner is also working from home as well. Even when we're not boarding Rover dogs, we enjoy taking morning, lunch, after work, and after dinner walks; they are already part of our routine so your dog will get a lot of outdoor time and walks with us.
