Who it’s for

For pets who’d rather stay home

You’re away for a weekend or a week, and your cat or dog stays home. I come to you, so they keep their own bed, their own food and their own routine.

What I do while you’re away

I follow your pet’s usual routine, the way you’d do it yourself.

What’s in every visit
Meals and fresh water on their normal schedule
Walks, potty breaks, litter and playtime
Messages and photos, so you know how they’re doing
When you get home

What you come home to

A relaxed pet who kept their routine, and a home that’s how you left it. Here’s how one client put it.

She did the laundry, replaced the tissues and detergent, which I didn’t even request, and she left the place cleaner than when I left.

After our meet and great, I felt comfortable leaving my baby George an 8 year old spoiled sweetie with Helen but throughout the week each time I heard from her I was more and more relieved to know what good hands he was in.

She is very detailed and professional and asked all the right questions and expressed her care for my pups. Thank you so much Helen you made traveling so easy knowing my babies were well cared for.

I needed someone last minute to stay with my dogs over night and was so fortunate to find her! She is personable, professional and gave my pups lots of love while I was gone.
