Hi my name is Helen Koup, I would describe myself as a bit shy,easy-going, responsible, honest, very simple, fun loving person and sincere and friendly too. I love animals because they make me happy. Objective: I want nothing more than to care for your dog in the best way possible. I will take your dog for walks anytime they are needed. I will make sure your dog or pet has the food and water that it needs. I will definitely make sure your pet has the love it needs by giving it a lot of attention and being kind to it and making sure it has fun. If pet sitting at your home is wanted i will make sure your house is maintained as well and make you feel you can trust me with our home and your pet while you are away. Experience: For about 3-5 years I have watched my family’s and friends’ pets while they were away on vacation. I have walked their dogs, fed them, given them water, and played and loved the dogs. I also have taken care of them while visiting them at their home, both dogs and cats. I have always had pets in my home and currently have a dog of my own that is very well taken care of. I am hoping to join a professional pet sitting business. I have loved dogs since I was very little and have never had a dog react to me in a negative way. A lot of times people will be shocked at how well I get along with certain dogs that don’t really warm up well to others. I love every minute I’m around pets and enjoyed every time I have had and will continue to have taking care of others’ pets. Skills: 1)I am friendly and outgoing so I get along well with animals and their owners. 2)I am calm and laid back so I can handle dogs well and won’t make them nervous or feel shy and scared. 3)I am healthy so long walks will be fun for me but I won’t go too fast or vigorous and tire out the dog but they will get their needed exercise. 4)I am trustworthy so you can feel safe letting me around your pet and if needed to stay with your pet at its home while you are away.
