Pet care experience

I LOVE dogs

I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life, but recently I’ve dedicated all of my time to looking after them, gaining experience with a wide variety of breeds. Whether big or small, energetic or calm, I’ve had the chance to care for many different types of dogs, which has helped me understand their unique needs and personalities even better. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. When I’m house sitting / boarding, I treat each pet as if they were my own, ensuring they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m very attentive to their routines and preferences, so they can feel as relaxed and happy as possible. In any emergency, I’ll contact you immediately and take swift, responsible action to keep your pet safe and healthy. I also have experience with other pets like hamsters, guinea pigs, and cats, so I’m comfortable caring for a range of animals. I love all dog breeds, so no matter what kind of dog you have, they’re more than welcome with me. In fact, we used to dog-sit for my mum’s friends while they were on holiday, and their dog always loved staying with me—he was so excited to see me and loved our daily walks! I’m committed to providing the best care and companionship for your pets while you’re away! :)

Helena has dropped in for Rue, our 14 week puppy, several times and every time Rue has been very happy and satisfied. Helena has sent us plenty of updates whilst being with Rue and made sure to follow any requests we may have given. We would happily recommend Helena to anyone wanting their dog to be looked after well and well loved. Thank you Helena :)

Helena's attitude and skill with dogs really made me feel like my boy was having the time of his life. I would trust her every time she's very welcoming and attentive. Couldn't ask for more from her.

It was Daisys first time staying anywhere other than at home with family, we were unsure if she would be ok but Helena was very reassuring and provided us with lots of photo updates throughout her stay. Would 100% recommend Helena to anyone looking for a loving safe space for there dogs to stay.

Helena was so lovely to deal with and took such great care of our happy little Bichon whilst we were away! We got in touch with her at such short notice but she was happy to have him and he lived the life of luxury with her for a few days! She sent photos each and every day and was incredibly easy to communicate with. I would recommend Helena without hesitation. Thank you!!

Pets

A typical day

I love engaging pets in their favourite games, whether it's fetch in the garden, playtime with toys, or stimulating puzzle toy/chews. I'm happy to take dogs on invigorating long walks or explore local parks, always ensuring their safety and comfort. For the cuddly types, I offer plenty of affection and gentle petting to make them feel secure and loved. I can reinforce basic commands and tricks during our time together, keeping their minds sharp and their behavior on point. I tailor activities to each pet's individual needs and preferences, ensuring they have an amazing time while in my care :)
