Some people can leave their cats alone for a few night; not me. My lady needs meds and it's an adventure to administer them but Helen always manages a treat! When I come home, she's always in great shape and clearly well-cared for. Yay to Helen!

Zandra loves Helen. No stress grooming, no crazy clinging to me when I get home, just a very, very happy kitty. My imperious little brat is VERY good at making her displeasure clear and with Helen there is absolutely none. <3 Helen!

Very friendly person, made sure our cats had plenty of water to drink and enough food like we asked. Also cleaned the cat litter and took photos of our babies and the work they did. Followed instructions on properly retrieving the key and left it safely as asked for our return. Would gladly recommend Helen to other pet owners who need a sitter.

Helen was awesome. My lady usually hides from strangers but with Helen she was out daily, and i got the photos and videos to prove it. The daily updates were reassuring and made me feel so much less bad about leaving my little furry nemesis alone. Yay Helen!

Safety, trust & environment

Home Environment: Your dog will be treated like family in a safe and comfortable home environment. Experience: With years of experience, I am well-equipped to handle any situation that may arise.

A typical day

During the day, I ensure they have access to fresh water and a comfortable resting area, whether it’s a cozy bed or a favorite spot on the couch. I also provide regular potty breaks and monitor their behavior for any signs of discomfort or distress. In the afternoon, we might go for another walk or explore a nearby park for a change of scenery. I always keep safety in mind, ensuring they’re on a leash and under my supervision at all times. Evenings are usually reserved for more relaxed activities, like cuddling on the couch or enjoying some quiet time together. Before bedtime, we’ll have another potty break and a final walk to tire them out for a good night’s sleep. Throughout the day, I make sure to provide plenty of love, attention, and positive reinforcement to create a fun and enriching experience for the pets I watch. Every dog is unique, so I tailor the activities to their individual needs and preferences, ensuring they have a happy and fulfilling day in my care.
