WFH Care for pets big and small!

I have been blessed with many wonderful pets in my life, both big and small! I currently own a horse, Felix. Unfortunately, my dog Alfie passed at 17 years old in January. Although I am not quite ready for a new in home pet of my own, I'd love to help you with yours! I have owned both cats and dogs through my life from puppy/kitten stage to senior life. I have experience with watching dogs, cats, and horses. I have no problem administering medication and I'm comfortable with all ages, sizes, and breeds.

Hella took excellent care of my Freya. She came for a holiday walk, followed all my instructions, and even took some adorable pictures. I’m definitely going to use her again. Highly recommended!

Hella did such an amazing job with my sweet baby Peach! It was my first time using Rover so admittedly I was nervous, but Hella put my mind at ease with her check ins and photos. Peach absolutely loves her and I will definitely be booking again!

Me and my pup are SO lucky to have found Hella! She's great with communication and following any special instructions you may have. My dog can be a challenge at times and she hasn't had any issues! I recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet caregiver!

I cannot recommend Hella enough as a pet sitter. She has watched my cats multiple times, and every experience has been amazing. She is incredibly reliable, communicative, and genuinely cares for animals like they’re her own. One of the things I appreciate most is the peace of mind she gives me while I’m away. She always keeps me updated with photos and messages, and I can tell my cats are comfortable, happy, and well cared for when she’s with them. Even my more shy cat warmed up to her quickly, which says a lot. She goes above and beyond with every visit — making sure everything is clean, the cats are loved on, and their routines stay consistent. I always come home to happy cats and a stress-free experience. Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pets!

Hella loves all animals and has cared for my special needs pets on several occasions. She is responsible, punctual, and has experience with animals big and small. She takes her time to make sure your dogs get not just attention but enrichment as well. She genuinely cares about each animal's happiness. She is a blessing to our family.

Schedule

95% of my job is working from home, because of that I am quite flexible in my schedule. On occasion, I do travel for work/personal but will do my best to keep my Rover calendar up to date.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is pet free, which means your pup will get my full attention! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment. I have a nice sized patio that is fully covered. The area has a lot of green space and sidewalks perfect for a long stroll. There is also a dog park available if your dog particularly enjoys being social. I allow dogs on my furniture and bed, however have no issue with sticking to the rules if that is not part of your daily routine.

A typical day

Our pets need exercise and fun just like we do. I'm happy to cater to your pet's needs. Whether it's long walks, playing fetch, or just some time laying in the grass enjoying the sun.
