I am Helen, originally from the UK, but have been residing in Canada for over a year now. I am deeply passionate about animals and have 48 years of extensive experience in pet care. I am intrigued by the unique ways we interact with our pets, and I am constantly learning about their integral roles in our lives and environment.
My leisurely time is often spent bird watching or enjoying the great outdoors. I believe the serenity of nature brings out the best in all creatures, humans included. I am very comfortable working with a variety of pets, ranging from cats and dogs to exotic animals, rodents, reptiles, fish, and birds.
You will find that I am well-equipped to bring the best care to your furry family member. Aside from basic care, I am capable of administering both oral and injected medication for dogs. Furthermore, I offer services catering to senior and special needs dogs or other animals. I believe high-energy pets require sufficient exercise for their well-being, hence I provide the necessary daily physical stimulation. Additionally, grooming services such as brushing fur and teeth are part of my offerings too.
In terms of service options, I am available for house sitting, pet training, dog walking, and drop-in visits for feed and play. Despite my inability to bring your pet to my home, rest assured that I can travel to you, and I bring a trusted police check with me. Notably, I am available for your pet care needs round the clock, seven days a week.

I have always had pets. I set up a little home boarding enterprise as a teenager, so my love of animals goes back a long way. I trained as a kennel medic when I left school and worked in boarding and show kennels. I have worked in animal sanctuaries in both the UK and the USA and have worked with a wide range of species, from exotic fish and dogs to cats, birds of prey, snakes, otters, and big cats. Until recently, I have always had my own dogs, which I have typically rescued from charities.
