I love my canine companions!

Pet care experience

I’m an LA native & have walked, pottied, nursed, raised & loved dogs as soon as I was able and for as long as I can remember. The joy they bring to my days is something I strive to give them in return. And I love pet photography, so you'll be regularly updated with pics of your hound or kitty. 🙂

Helen is amazing. She can flawlessly deal with and laugh at the antics of my 7-months old puppy. He doesn’t hesitate or look back when it’s time for the two of them to go for a walk. I’d strongly recommend for anyone that wants someone reliable to help with their furry family.

Safety, trust & environment

The comfort & wellbeing of animals will always be my top priority. It is rewarding to provide an animal with exercise and attention, and I take that role seriously. I'm aware that our walk together might be the only one of the day for whichever animal I'm with, so I make sure to give that animal a fulfilling experience. And I truly care to earn their trust; pets (mine and others’) have given me more than words are able to relate. Safety: I am responsive to physical signs that your animal might be uncomfortable, i.e "skipping" when walking (potential injury or issue with paw), excessive panting, etc. Living in a dirty city, I'm always watching for the sneaky grab @ a cigarette butt or discarded chicken bone.

Information Helen D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animal is dog, food, or stranger-aggressive. I have experience with dogs w/ behavioral issues, but I'd appreciate knowledge of this beforehand, as I'll need to plan how best to approach the situation to ensure that your animal and I have the best interaction possible.

A typical day

I'll go @ whichever pace your pet prefers! If your animal is super high energy, let me know and I'll bring along my running shoes. :)
