Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Helen, and I love dogs! I’m happy to take your dog for a leisurely stroll, a light jog, or a run if that’s what they need while they are with me. I have experience walking and caring for reactive dogs and understand what to look for to ensure a stress-free walk, or stay, for your furry best friend. I’m comfortable in downtown areas, local parks, and neighborhoods for walks. I have my own Boxer named Molly, who is as spoiled as they come! I’ll treat your dog with the same love and attention that I give to her while we’re together. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks (or runs!), pet sitting, and over night stays in your home as well as my own. I want to make you and your best friend are as comfortable as family! I do have my own pets. I have a 9 yo Boxer named Molly who thinks everyone is her friend and a 6 yo cat I found as a kitten when I lived in North Carolina. They’re both friendly to visitors! If you need a pet free home for your visit, we can arrange it. The girls love spending time at Grandma and Grandpa’s so your pet can be #1 in my home. I recently started a new full-time job so my weekday daytime availability is no longer the same. Thank you for working with my new schedule!

Helen was great with our dog Bella! She watched Bella for a weekend and did overnights at our house and checkins to let her out and feed her. Helen gave me great updates that made our weekend away stress free knowing I did not have to worry about Bella. Will definitely use her again!

If we could leave more then 5 stars we would! Helen cared for our Hugo (3 year old, German Shepherd) like he was her own. We don't normally leave him so this was hard for us but all our doubts and worries flew out of window the second we meet Helen. We got photos and videos of Hugo every day and could tell from his HUGE smile how much fun he was having. If we go away again we will 110% ask Helen to watch him.

Helen was awesome! As soon as my dog saw her walking in for the meet and greet we did, her tail instantly starting wagging and I felt right away at ease. I highly recommend her! I won't be booking anyone else besides her!

A typical day

I live in downtown Troy so I’m happy to take your dog with me all over! There’s a sprinkler park by the water front I bring my dog to every evening as well as a local state park to get some grass under those paws. I’ve taken dogs with me to the Farmers Market, Dino BBQ’s patio, local dog parks for some off-leash fun, and even just for a car ride around the block for alternate parking days to make them happy.
