Pet & home care

Reliable help from someone who gets to know your pet’s routine and treats your home with care.

Care for what matters most

About Henna

Care from someone you know.

Handled by Henna started with one older, high-maintenance dog. What began as regular walks grew into drop-in visits and helping care for the home because the owner knew he could count on her.

At home, Henna has a miniature schnauzer named Nini, whom she loves dearly. Living with Nini has made her attentive to the small things that help a dog feel comfortable and understood.

Henna is building the business the same way: one relationship at a time. You know who is showing up, and Henna knows how you like things done.
