Ratings and reviews
Wow! Helen was amazing!! We left our dog Beau and our cat Hammy with Helen for 6 days while on vacation. Beau stayed with her at her apartment and she would drop in on Ham nightly. She would send us constant updates and pictures and was quick to respond to messages. I felt that my animals were safe and well cared for. She truly went above and beyond and we cannot thank her enough. We will for sure contact Helen again in the future. Thank you :)
Helen is such an amazing and kind-hearted person! She really cares for animals and does a great job on making sure the pets are comfortable and feel safe. Based on my past experience, she is highly reliable and always my first choice for a pet sitter!
Helen is one of the most responsible people I know when it comes to taking care of pets. She cares about animals more than anything in the world and has a lot of knowledge about them from her time working in shelters and veterinary medicine. She truly goes above and beyond, treating every animal like her own. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
Helen is the most genuine and thoughtful human and animal lover I have ever met. Whether it be for dogs, cats, or any other animal, she is someone who will diligently research how she can best care for them. She is someone who is responsible, extremely kind, and hardworking. I’ve seen her on countless occasions take extreme care of dogs, cats, and any strays. If there was anyone I would want to care for my pets, it would definitely be Helen because she has the heart and knowledge to do so.

Safety, trust & environment
The safety of your fur children always comes first. As a Rover pet walker and sitter, I take responsibility for creating safe conditions during walks or while caring for pets in your home. I ensure pets avoid potential hazards and stay vigilant for any signs of medical distress. With my background as a veterinary assistant, you can trust that I’ll provide attentive and knowledgeable care, giving your pets the love and protection they deserve.
Pets
A typical day
For dogs, I love taking them on walks around my large, forested apartment complex where they can enjoy lots of new sights, smells, and exercise. For cats, I’m happy to relax with them on the couch, give them plenty of cuddles (if they enjoy them!), and even watch a bird feeder livestream together for some fun enrichment. I always tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level so they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for.

- Before booking, I’d love to know about your pet’s personality, routine, and any special needs. Please let me know if they have any behavioral quirks, are leash-trained (for dogs), potty-trained, have any fears or triggers, medications, dietary restrictions, or anything else that helps me provide the best care. The more I know ahead of time, the more comfortable and enjoyable their stay will be!
