Providing that 1/1 extra touch! 🥰

Pet care experience

Hello future client! 🐶 When your baby comes here, I will treat them as if they are mine. I know your pet is an important part of your family and how hard it can be for both you and your pup when leaving each other, so rest assured when you drop your baby off, I will give them plenty of love, attention and affection to help soothe them into adjusting while they're here. To this end, my home has a calming, peaceful atmosphere to reduce any stress they may feel and I love giving them soothing massages, belly rubs, butt scratches or whatever they want and need. I’ve had and cared for dogs and animals most of my life; not just mine, but friends and family too and I can’t wait to care for yours! For years I helped run a dog boarding business from our home in Houston. We cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages and I’m experienced with following special feeding or medical instructions. Your pet will quickly be so excited to come here and enjoy all the love and affection I shower on them. I want my home to feel like their 2nd home! Lastly, I'm only a few miles from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, making my location ideal for drop-offs and pick-ups! If you've never used Rover, then use my discount code: HELENEM18265

The BEST Rover experience we’ve ever had! Helene was exceptional. She sent daily photos and/or videos of our dog Ollie which we loved. She was a great communicator and couldn’t have been nicer in person! She also has a beautiful backyard that Ollie LOVED. 10/10 experience all around.

Helene is absolutely the best with Dutchess! Dutchess is always so excited to see Helene and is so comfortable in her home. She always sends me the best photos of her, and you can tell really enjoys spending time with Dutchess. I am so grateful for her and would recommend her to anyone!

Helene was amazing from start to finish! She updated us with frequent videos and pictures and was responsive and professional. Winter had an amazing stay with her and we would leave Winter in her care again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a clean, well-kept home with a big, beautiful, fully enclosed backyard for your pup to sniff, romp or get those zoomies out 🤪 and I so delight in watching them! The yard is kept clean on a daily basis and for added protection, I have scheduled flea/tick control treatments. Their safety, comfort and happiness is my top priority.

Information Helene M. would like to know about your pet

Before your pet's stay, I'd like have a meet and greet with you and your pet to make sure we’re all a good fit and to help your pet feel more comfortable the next time they come over. I’ll also get some background history on their behavior, likes/dislikes and what their usual routine looks like.

A typical day

A typical day here would be mostly relaxing except during potty breaks where I’ll encourage your pet to run, chase a ball, smell new scents and get lots of belly rubs and butt scratches-if that’s what they like. Oh, and lots of petting and snuggling on the sofa at night.

I work from home full time and I’m kind of a home body so your baby will be keeping me company no matter where I am. I take regular breaks away from the computer, and your pup will be right there along with me to take a short walk, stretching or going outside every couple hours. A regular routine is healthy for everyone and so feedings are according to their schedule with bedtime generally around 10pm.
