A Dog Lover from France

Helene did a great job walking my dog. My dog is a little shy and she was able to get her to warm up quickly. Would highly recommend her services.

Helene was wonderfull whit my baby. It was mu first time ever in 10 years leaving him and i was reakly nervous but she was great. Chopster can be difficult but he fell in love with her. He takes medication and they didnt miss a dose. Her apartment is beautiful and has space. I didnt need to ask her for photos or anything she upadated me every 6-8 hours with photos and funny things about him. 100% i will ask her to take care of him again.

Helen did a wonderful job taking care of my dog for 2 weeks while I was away on the trip. She took care of him at my place. She sent me updates with pictures and videos that made me so happy to see that Truffle is having a great time while under her care. Thank you so much!

Hélène is an excellent petsitter. Our little Milly was in good hand: Hélène is very attentive to the animal needs and was very sweet with pets. Thanks to her, we spend vacation without stress, knowing that our animal was in good hands. I 100% recommand her !

Hélène was the perfect catsitter for my cat! I entrusted my cat to her for a whole week at her own home and it was perfect: we had news and photos very regularly which totally made me think my cat was in good hands.She took care of it like her own cat, with cuddles and games. It was really our best catsitting experience! I will choose Hélène again with great pleasure!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog-friendly community in Downtown Long Beach, with everything your pup could dream of: 🐶 A quiet, private dog park right inside the building 🌳 Several nearby parks and outdoor spaces 🧼 An on-site dog grooming station 🦴 Treats always on hand 🏖️ And the beach is just a few minutes’ walk away! Whether your dog loves calm strolls, playful outings, or just needs some TLC while you're away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. Feel free to reach out, I’d love to meet you and your pup!

A typical day

Your dog starts with a cheerful morning walk around the neighborhood, where we get some fresh air, stretch our legs, and maybe meet a few friendly pups along the way. Back home, we take a little break time for cuddles, playtime, or just relaxing in a quiet and calm environment. I always make sure your dog feels safe, seen, and cared for. Later, we might head to the dog park inside my building, which is peaceful and secure, perfect for a bit of fun and freedom off-leash. Or, if your dog is feeling adventurous, we can go explore nearby parks or even the beach (just a short walk away!) for some sand and sea breeze. Throughout the day, I follow your dog’s rhythm — some love to play, others just enjoy being near a kind presence.
