Hello! I’m Helen 👋🏼 a calm, dog-savvy human who adores animals and the little personalities that come with them.

🐕 I've previously owned a Beagle x Whippet, and a Greyhound, giving me hands-on experience with both high-energy sniffers and gentle, sensitive souls. I’ve also fostered dogs in the past, which taught me a huge amount about patience, reassurance, and helping dogs settle into new environments.

⭐️ I have Insurance, so this is an extra layer of protection.

☮️ I know to not over fuss certain dogs, and get to know each' temperament to give them their space to relax, but also recognise when they're up for playtime. 

🫱🏼🫲🏽 Although I don’t currently have a dog of my own, I’m the resident pet sitter for friends and colleagues, it’s something I’m known and trusted for. I live in a flat but have a good sized shared garden, a snug dog bed and standing dog bowls (because I look after dogs so often haha).

‼️ I will always keep your dog on a leash to ensure the safety of your dog, but also myself until we establish trust (if they do have good recall).

‼️ I can only take dogs who walk well on the lead/don’t pull.

‼️ I’ve supported dogs with separation anxiety, but I’m unable to take dogs who can’t be left (as I’m inbetween jobs so need to leave the flat).

📝 Personalised Pet Profiles:

-I've a background in Social Care, so just like those clients, I create a wee profile of your pet, and keep it to hand during their stay. It includes things like their likes/dislikes, routines, dietary requirements and such like, so your pet will be well looked after according to your established routine and preferences.

- I know how important consistency is for them (and you!). I’m calm, reliable, patient, and very attentive.

🤗 I’ll keep you updated, follow your routines, and make sure your pet feels safe, settled, and happy. Oh and I'm always up for a playtime/tug-o-war!

🛋️ All pets are free to pick their own snug spot. I want them to be able to relax and feel safe, so I let them take time to sniff around and settle in, and never expect cuddles/contact (although this is obviously ace if/when it happens! and tell me I'm doing something right).

If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with genuine care (and not just as a side hustle), I’d love to help 💛
