Helen was house and petsitting for a mutual friend who was okay with Helen hosting me for dinner. She had been staying for a week + already and upon entrance the space was so tidy and her footprint in the space was unnoticeable. She moved through the space with ease noting the homeowners preferences and needs like no shoes, where recycling goes, general info about the home and all necessary info to respect the homeowners desires for how their home was watched while they were away. Okay now about the fur babies she was watching- there were 2 cats and 1 dog who were at such ease in the space with her. Apparently the kitties were shy so they didn't say hi to me when she introduced us, BUT the shy kitties wandered out to say hi and check in with Helen because they obviously really liked her. I got to witness her taking care in the way she interacted and tended to these animals needs and comfort. To sum up what I'm saying: Helen took pride in caring for their home, respecting the space and creating a warm and friendly environment for these loved animals to thrive and continue living their best lives despite their adoptive parents' being away. I would highly recommend!
