About Helen

Hello! I’m a PhD student in London looking for some pets to love and cuddle between reading, coding and tearing my hair out over failed experiments!  

I have extensive experience with dogs and cats. My family have had cats (Billy and Seven – domestic shorthair) and a dog (Holly – whippet) while I was growing up, so I understand the importance of findings someone trustworthy to look after your much loved pet. I have been a pet sitter with PawShake before, but in the Netherlands, where I mainly did cat sitting (with plant care thrown in) and was a regular walker for Ozzy with elderly pug. I have also done some dog walking through Borrow My Doggy with a very hyperactive Dalmatian and Springer Spaniel, so I have some experience with walking more energic breeds. Currently, I am the slave to two beautiful cats (Shadow and Eclipse) but have a lot more love to give and a flexible schedule, so happy to help out those who still need a pet in their life but have a busier calendar.

At the moment, I can offer walkies/feeding visits/check-ins during the day, evenings and weekend, however I would be unable to bring your pets to my home due to that being Shadow and Eclipse's home.

Looking forward to hearing from you if you think I am the right fit for you and your furry friend.
