We had the pleasure of having our Shih-Tzu, Butter, stay with Helen while we were away. Even during our initial meet and greet, Butter was very comfortable and found himself right at home. Butter gets excited when he meets other humans and especially dogs, but with Helen he was calm and happy. He loved being on Helen’s lap and has lots of fun with the pack, and going through all the toys during his stay. We also really appreciate the frequent updates and pictures from Helen. He slept long hours after coming home to recover from his great vacation. Thank you again Helen for taking good care of Butter!

We were initially quite nervous about leaving our rescue dog, Millie, with a sitter. However, from the very moment we met Helen, all our worries disappeared. She made us feel completely at ease with her calm, kind demeanor and her clear love for animals. It was obvious that she has a genuine passion for caring for dogs, and we knew Millie would be in great hands. Throughout Millie's stay, Helen went above and beyond to keep us updated with daily photos and messages. It was such a relief to see how happy and relaxed Millie was. She absolutely loved spending time with the other dogs at Helen's place and had plenty of new friends to play with. We could tell that Millie was not only well cared for but genuinely enjoying her time there. Helen took care of everything ensuring Millie felt comfortable, fed, and entertained, while also giving her the personal attention she needs. It was clear Millie was happy, content, and loved during her stay. We can’t thank Helen enough for providing such a safe, fun, and loving environment. We will definitely be sending Millie back to Happy Stays the next time we need a sitter. It’s such a relief to know that we can leave her in such capable hands, and we highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you again, Helen, for making Millie’s stay so wonderful!

Tilley had a great time staying with Helen! I appreciated the detailed updates and all the photos. Helen was super flexible with drop off and pick up, even with my flight coming back delayed. Helen was also very patient with Tilley’s quirks - she can be a funny eater and a very slow walker. I would happily have Tilley stay with Helen again!

Helen took very good care of our dog mochi while away on our vacation , I felt at ease and could enjoy our vacation as Helen updated me throughout each day with pictures. My dog is very timid and doesn't like to socialize, but she definitely felt safe and had a great time! I would highly recommend happy stays to anyone with a small breed dog, Helen took extra good care of our furbaby!

Helen's Happy Stays was a home away from home for Luna when I had to make a trip east to see family. Luna appeared to be having a wonderful time, and Helen kept me updated with photos and videos. Helen seems to understand the unique qualities of small dogs and encourages positive pack interactions. It brings enormous peace of mind to know that Luna was in a safe, caring environment while I was away. I will readily place Luna at Helen's Happy Stays again when I have to go out of the city. Thanks Helen!
