About Helen

I am a very caring person and I love animals! I live in Canterbury, next to the inner west, I am triple vaccinated and have a car. I'm in my 30s.

I have a lot of experience looking after pets. I started house and pet sitting in 2015 and looked after dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, even lizards, hermit crabs and tadpoles :). I really enjoy this and I love meeting and looking after each unique pet and their needs

Prior to 2015, I use to volunteer with an organisation and rescue, foster and find homes for stray kittens for 5 years. In total, 25 kittens were saved and I loved this :) It was so rewarding domesticating and finding these kittens their forever home.

Also, my love and experience with animals started at an early age, growing up with many pets in Sydney (cats, dogs, birds, rabbits, guinea pig, fish etc). I even completed the WIRES course.

I am a mental health professional and love supporting humans. But I also love animals! I miss pets and I don’t have any of my own. I will care for your pet as if it’s my own and give you regular updates each time I am with your fur pet. I work from home and also visit the office.

  • Pet visits: I will visit your pet and stay with them 20-30 minutes or more. Change their water, give them their food, clean their litters and give them some play time/company depending on your needs. 
  • Pet/House sitting: This is where I will stay and live at your place whilst you are away and sleep overnight to take care of your pet. This invovles the usual water change, daily feeding, cleaning litters/waste and spending time with your pet. In this service, I am allowed to leave your home, it is not 100% time devoted care. I am also reliable at applying medication into pet’s food if this is needed. I am not experienced at giving injections.
  • Dog walks: Walks can be 30mins. Feel free to let me know what your dog is use to. I only take one dog at a time, so it is very personalised. I offer one dog walk a day.
  • Day Care: This is where I spend 100% of time devoted to your pet and includes 4 hrs. I do not leave your pet alone.
  • I do not provide pet boarding at my home.

    I have a lot of availabilities as you will see from my calendar. I can discuss the individual needs of your pet at a meet and greet.

    You will see that I love animals and that I have a lot of experience with them. I would love to meet with you and your fur pet in the future.

    You can't even dream of a better pet sitter because Helen is the best in the world. She has a professional approach to every job, she loves animals and animals love her. I highly recommend Helen, she is punctual, patient and cool-headed, each visit sends us updates with photos and a description of the situation at home.

    5 * service!
