Pet care experience

WFH - Ex Zookeeper! Here to care

Animals have always been apart of my family, from cats, turtles, mice and rabbits. Whilst I never had a dog, I was the neighbourhood dog walker from 10 years old. I work fully remote meaning I have plenty of time to give your pets the best quality care. I am a qualified zookeeper, I used to work in New Zealand looking after penguins, I have experience working with a wide range of animals from gibbons, capybara, otters and snakes making me very confident with handling animals of all temperaments! I have a huge amount of experience training animals and medicating them too, not having a pet here in London means I will be loving yours like it’s my own

Helene was fantastic with our cat Bella. Nice updates, great communication, spent time playing with Bella as well as doing food/water/litter. Thank you so much!

Dog Walking • Jun 14, 2026

Helene has been absolutely fantastic with our Weimaraner, Trevor! He took to her immediately and it was obvious from the start that she has a real way with dogs. She walks Trevor for us every week and has also completed two house sits, both of which have been excellent experiences. We’ve always come home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. Helene is reliable, thoughtful, clean, and incredibly courteous. We trust her completely and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets !!

Helene took great care of our cat! She sent plenty of updates whilst keeping her litter and water clean. Sweet girl was very happy and content when we arrived home to her! Thank you Helene 😺

House Sitting • May 21, 2026

Helene is a great dog sitter. Flexible and very easy to get on with. She has such obvious love for animals and I felt my puppy was in very capable and safe hands. I was nervous leaving him for the first time but he seemed to be very happy and comfortable with Helene. Would definitely recommend her

House Sitting • May 03, 2026

Helene was excellent with my big boisterous boy. He immediately warmed to her and was comfortable around her. After a full day sit with him I arrived home to a happy and content dog. I'd highly recommend Helene.

Helene has always prioritised the welfare of our pets, alongside all the tasks that go with complete pet care. She has a true passion for animals, plus an ability to connect with them which helps calm them, should that be needed. I have no hesitation recommending her for any level of pet care (she has administered sub-cut fluids for us as well).

Just like people each pet is different! Let me know if they’ve got any fun quirks for me to work with, I’m confident I’ll be able to work with them no matter their personality If they’ve got a strict usual walking route they like to follow, or if they’re a more follow your nose and see where we go type of walk, let me know what’s best to make sure your pet is having the time of their life Let me know any behaviours to reinforce / discourage so we can keep your pets training on track!
