Safety, trust & environment

Every dog has unique qualities that require special attention and care. I watch for fear-based reactions and avoid certain situations or help to overcome anxiety.

Information Helen K. would like to know about your pet

What is your dog’s daily routine? Barking behavior that we should know about? Toy or food possessiveness? Behavior toward people and other dogs. Meal times and amount of food. Food allergies. Counter surfing?

A typical day

Fun activities include visits to the dog park or long walks in nearby nature preserves, or walks on the street. Training sessions with treats if warranted.

Pet care experience

I have hosted dogs for over 15 years and have experience with many breeds. My dog Harvey was a member of Therapy Dog International. I believe that the key to well-behaved dogs is plenty of exercise so aside from wrestling and chasing, we go for long walks preferably off-leash. Our home is on the Mohawk River so water loving dogs get to swim.

Good communication. Helen sent photos of my little guy on walk and he got lots of exercise which is great.

Helen's great! She's clearly a true dog-person and has a system down for doing this. I got videos every day and the proof was right there in the picture: Oscar was having fun, getting affection at home, and great exercise with other dogs, (even when it was cccold out there!) Definitely will be going back.

Helen took very good care of our puppy. She sent us daily pictures so we knew our puppy was doing well.

Helen was amazing! I received daily videos and pictures of the fun Belle had. Was good to feel at ease while away at vacation knowing Belle was be well cared for.
