Your babies taken care of like mine
Pet care experience
I never use cages for any of my animals — unless you prefer that for your dog. I take my dogs for walks 2-4 times a day. I feed twice day (you bring food) and always give the dogs treats throughout the day. If I leave the house, the radio or TV is left on for company :) I never leave them unattended for more than 2-2.5 hours after I know they get along, or separate them in a crate/ different room. I work at home so I spend most of my days at home with the animals. I have had animals since I was 12. They are my ultimate love and passion. I charge $10 extra for rush services, i.e., within the hour. About this sitter: I have always been an animal lover, and have owned horses since I was 12. I have had dogs since 1998. I have done dog walking and sitting for many, many years and all the animals in my care are loved for like my own. Why I love dog sitting All my life. I started walking dogs in the neighborhood when I was about 10. Meet my pets Horses My experience administering medication: dogs, horses. Vaccines, general medication. I am willing to discuss my rates on a case by case basis.
Reviews
Helene was great! Our babies and home were well cared for while away. She walked them more often than we do as working parents. They seemed to love it and she sent lots of photos and updates. It's hard to know who you'll feel comfortable with when leaving your home and pets to a complete stranger...we interviewed a few people and we're pleased with our choice. The pups were happy too. When Helene left the dogs followed her out to say good bye. They may have been hoping for another walk :) we would recommend her!
We have a Weimaraner who hates when we leave her but this time was different... Our baby seamed very happy to have Helene and a another dog around to keep her company. This was an Absolutely wonderful experience... Helene took great care and sent lots of texts and photos while we were away... We WILL use her again and will book our vacations around her availability to be sure our four legged family member is happy while we are gone....
Helen took care of my St. Bernard like he was her very own baby. She took at least a dozen pictures and sent them to me throughout my trip. I have so much trust and faith in her that I now finally feel comfortable knowing I have someone that will love my boy as much as I do. Thank you Helen!
Helene was great. Pumpkin stayed with her during the Thanksgiving week while we visited family. She kept us updated with photos through out the week. She was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. We had a relaxing trip with out the worries of Pumpkin's safety. Much better than a stay at the local kennel and reasonably priced.

The door is always locked so they can’t accidentally get out, and the same with the balcony. Although I have a “safety fence”, I never leave them alone on the patio. I’m always out there if they are. My fencing is 6-7 feet tall. Large dog run on premises and lots of places to walk, dog parks.
