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. 🙂
Reviews
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.
Ollie loves Helen and loves playing with the other pups she walks!
Helen is truly the best. So friendly, flexible, and sends lots of updates. My pup loves spending time with her!
Second time booking Helen and my pup just loves her! I’m so appreciative of all the updates too!
About Helen D.
Communication
Skills
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. :)

I'm a part-time student, so my schedule is flexible. I'm available for pet care at any time, with proper notice requested. I'm also willing to adjust my sleeping schedule for bottle-fed animals, animals requiring medication, etc.
