Availability

I’m home full time, so I’m always here, except if I need get groceries or something around. That means your dog is most of time never alone. I structure my day around them: morning backyard time, midday play or rest (whatever they need), afternoon walks around backyard, and evenings close to me. My routine is almost 99% focused on your pet not on managing a crowd. I also love taking pictures and recording for you to feel safe and laughing when you are far away.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is minimalist and clutter-free. I keep nothing on the floor that a dog could chew or swallow. The backyard is fully fenced with a lake view, and I never leave a dog outside unsupervised. I’m always watching. They can sleep on my sofa, my bed, or their own bed, no rules. I also do a free meet & greet before any stay, so you can see everything for yourself and ask anything.

Information Helia R. would like to know about your pet

Just few things: Tell me if your dog has special needs, takes medication, or is a senior. I genuinely love caring for them. Before booking, let’s do a quick meet & greet (preferable video or at my house). You’ll meet my Golden Retriever and my senior cat, and see if everyone feels comfortable. Message me with any questions. I try respond fast. Please, remember to bring your dog food, toys, treats or anything will make him feel as good at your home. Please reach me if have questions during the stay, I m always available. Thank you for trusting me and be ready for book as soon you feel I can be a good fit for your fur baby.

A typical day

We start the morning with a quick backyard break. Then breakfast. During the day, I throw a ball against the wall, many dogs love chasing it indoors or out. I aim for at least 4-5 outdoor breaks, but honestly, if your dog wants more, they get more. Seniors or low energy dogs set the pace. Every day is flexible. The only fixed rule: they get my full attention, play and having fun. Also please ask me any questions anytime.

Exclusive pet care SAVANNAH Airport

Pet care experience

I’m based in Pooler at Forest Lakes (Arbors & Godley Station area), just minutes from Savannah Airport, in a quiet gated community. My goal is simple: to give your dog the calmest, safest, and most loving experience possible. I live in a clean, clutter-free home with a large fenced backyard, perfect for dogs who enjoy space, freedom, and lots of personal attention. I’m very careful about keeping floors and common areas clear, so curious pups won’t find anything unsafe to chew or swallow. What makes my care different? I keep my daycare and boarding very small, with a maximum of 2 guest dogs at a time. Occasionally, if two dogs are from the same family, I may accept one additional compatible guest, but I never create a crowded environment. Why? Because your dog deserves my full attention, a peaceful atmosphere, and plenty of one on one care without stress, competition, or overstimulation. I especially love caring for seniors, puppies, and dogs with special needs. Whether your dog needs oral medication, extra patience, mobility assistance, or simply a slower pace, I’m happy to help. Safety is always my top priority. When dogs are in the backyard, I am actively supervising them, I never leave them unattended outside. If your dog doesn’t have a collar attachment for an AirTag, I can provide one for extra peace of mind. My front door also has an additional retractable safety gate. It may seem a little excessive, but I’ve learned that some furry angels occasionally try to escape from paradise! 🤣 I treat every dog as if they were my own. They are welcome to stay close to me, follow me around the house, relax wherever they’re comfortable, safely explore the yard, and enjoy plenty of affection and supervision throughout the day. I’ve rescued animals for many years, and caring for them is truly my passion. Cats were actually the ones who taught me compassion and inspired my lifestyle, but dogs are my daily joy and specialty. I love both equally. If you’re looking for someone loving, patient, reliable, and close by, your baby will be treated like family in my home. My calendar fills up quickly because I intentionally keep only a small number of guests at a time. Send me a message to schedule a free Meet & Greet (in person or by video through Rover), and let’s see if we’re the perfect fit for each other.

Helia took really good care of my puppy Leo🤩 I love how she sends me videos and pictures of him so while I’m enjoying my vacation, I am relieved that my precious dog is having tons of fun. My wife was able to enjoy the trip for she is very attached to our puppy. My daughter loved how helia owns another dog for Leo doesn’t have many interactions with other dogs, it was a new experience for him. Almost like a play date between the dogs😍 amazing work helia

Helia was absolutely wonderful. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our dog. We received regular updates and felt completely at ease while we were away. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but Helia made it effortless. We will definitely be booking with her again.

Helia was a great dog Mom” to Niko my 6 yr old Pug. Her house has plenty of space with lots of room to roam inside and out! He was well taken care of and Niko will definitely go back to see Helia again!o

Both dogs loved Helia. I was worried with two large dogs if they would be ok. Helia had no issues I will book with her any time i did my dogs taken care of.
