Pet care experience

These paws were made for walking

I've walked and dogsat for neighbors and family for several years. Dogs say I'm a reliable walker, patient about stopping to smell everything, and an excellent source of head rubs.

Helen provided thorough check-ins on our kitties and garden, and made for a peaceful trip away while we knew everything was taken care of! She leaves the best Rover cards which was much appreciated.

Nell is someone I would highly recommend to care for your furry companion. She took excellent care of my cat Luka while I was away on vacation. She dropped in twice daily to feed, clean Luka's litter boxes, and interact with him. I appreciated her photos that she sent after each visit. Nell definitely has a special talent in interacting with domesticated animals. I would highly recommend Nell to care for your cat or dog while you're away from home. Thank you Nell.

Safety, trust & environment

I have lots of practice at blocking doors as I open them to stop escape artists, and at corralling critters into separate rooms for meals. On walks I stay alert and keep a firm hand on the leash at all times, because I know even the calmest of dogs can get startled.

A typical day

Dogs' excitement gets me excited for walks! I love to see my neighborhood through a dog's eyes, so we'll take our time exploring every sidewalk.

Cats
Helen can host up to 1 pet per night
Let me know if your dog has any behaviors that might make walks tricky. Do I need to shorten the leash near squirrels? Will your dog leap to meet every new friend? The more I know the better I can keep your pup happy and safe.
