Skills

8 years of experience

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.

Information Helen D. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

These paws were made for walking

Pet care experience

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.

My dog always loves when Nell comes over! Her communication is amazing and I feel at ease when I have to work longer shifts because I know Tahoe is being well taken care of. Thank you!
