Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner and animal lover for over twenty years. I first began taking care of dogs in my neighborhood professionally when I was ten years old. I don’t have a dog now, and I joined rover because I really miss the experience of dog-walking! I love to be outside, and I love to spend time with animals. Dogs have so much to teach us about compassion, respect, and loyalty. It would be my privilege to spend time with your pet, help them get some exercise, and satisfy their sense of adventure! Willing to do short or long neighborhood walks, as well as trail hikes and trips to the dog park! Any best friend of yours is a friend of mine. 🧡🐶 You’ll notice that my rates are higher than the rover standard—this is because my service is exceptional. On top of being great with animals, I am a respectful house guest, and I’m likely to leave your home cleaner than I found it! 😁 I will respond to your messages expediently, and share meaningful updates about how your pet is doing. I go above and beyond to ensure your pets’ comfort and happiness, and I charge what I believe I am worth.

Helen seemed great. She was friendly and personable and seemed genuinely interested in caring for our pets. Unfortunately she did not actually stay at our house as expected. I have evidence from the ring door bell that she left at 11 pm ish every night and did not return until 8 or 9 am. We paid for house sitting. I showed her the guest room and she went through the farce of stripping the sheets and putting towels in laundry when she clearly did not spend any of the 3 nights at our house. Not sure of any recourse. Clearly disappointed. Just thought you should know.

My two pets (dog and cat) are getting old and somewhat high maintenance. When I returned from being away for three days, they were both relaxed and content due to the care Helen provided.

Helen was awesome. This was our first time using Helen and hopefully it won’t be our last. She sent a photo and update daily. She asked questions when necessary. She was very responsible and I didn’t worry about our dog or the house at all! The house was clean when we got back from our five-day trip and our pup was happy to see us. Great job, Helen!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a duplex with two cats and a small dog who often comes over for play dates. As long as your dog doesn’t mind other furry friends, they are welcome in my home! Our yard is not fully fenced, but we do have a long lead for those who can’t be off leash. I’m also comfortable spending time in your home while you are away. Safety and trust are for you to define, and I will center around your needs and preferences.

Information Helen P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or likes! I’m comfortable with dogs of all strengths, sizes and temperaments. My cats, however, may not be—if your doggies need to come to my house, we’ll need to have a conversation about compatibility.

A typical day

I love to work with dogs on their tricks, commands, and basic training. I love a good game of fetch, tug of war, wrestling and cuddling. My favorite off leash dog parks are the Minnehaha trails in MPLS and the Battle Creek park in St. Paul!

I’m a graduate student, and coming over for walks or drop-ins before and after class would be incredibly convenient for me. Just like your dog, I need to get outside and stay active after long hours sitting in class! I’m happy to either stay overnight in your home, or not—I will do whatever works best for you and your animals.
