Paws for life

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm a dog lover and believe everyone should own a dog as their best buddy. I had a Yorkie who has left a few years ago, he was almost 19 when he passed. Working from home now gives me a lot of free time on weekdays and weekends. I have experience in pet care for age over 6 months up to senior age; preferably smaller dogs under 30 lbs because I'm living in an apartment. I can walk your puppy (up to 3 times a day), go for a jog, and/ or exercise him/her at a park. Weekends and Statutory days are also available, just need some notice ahead of time. Hope to meet your puppy soon! How does pet care fit into your daily or weekly routine? Been working from home for over 3 years. I'm home most of the time. I jog/ run 2-3 times a week so if your puppy likes to jog/ long walk outside we can make some good company! I have a dog friendly neighborhood where there is a park and a dog park across from where I live. The majority of doggies are friendly and I already knew many of the owners.

"I had an exceptional experience with Helena as my dog sitter. Her dedication and love for animals were evident from the moment I met her. She provided excellent care for my furry friend, ensuring he was fed, exercised, and happy throughout their stay. Helena's communication was also top-notch, providing regular updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Helena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Helena, for taking such great care of my pet!"

Our usual dog sitter was not available during our trip date and we found Helena. She replied immediately and was very organized about what our dog might need duting his stay with her. She was so caring, gentle and gives us update every now and then. Milo also likes her since he become so clingy with her. I highly recommend Helena and will truly ask for her great service again. Thank you Helena! You are amazing!

We were very anxious leaving Barkley behind for an extended period of time but Helena gave him the extra care and attention that he needed. In addition, she made sure that Barkley had lots of exercise and socialization. Thank you so much Helena!

Helena is one of the best dog sitters we have ever dealt with. She's super attentive to our furboy Bailey, not only doing everything we asked her to do and better! She even identified things that we didn't notice before, she's definitely worth every penny we spent, best decision to have her take care of our furboy! Highly recommended to anyone to this loving and caring dog sitter! Thank you Helena!
