Pet care experience

I've grown up around big and small dogs and love to spend time with them. I'm known in my family for being the dog trainer, and am diligent about keeping doggies on track with their behavior. I have pet sat for 10 years and am happy to match the energy of the dog, whether that means taking them to the dog park or just hanging around on the couch. I am a dog sitter because I'm unable to have my own furry friend at this time in my life, so getting to spend time with your dog is a very special treat!

Helen started walking Mera for us recently and we couldn’t be happier with her. She’s responsible, dependable and I know Mera thoroughly enjoys their long walks together! Thanks, Helen!

Helen was amazing and super flexible! My mind was put at ease while I was away that my dogs were well taken care of.

We left before the big Portland snow storm and the power went out during the house sitting event. Helen managed just fine and took great care of our dog Kobe during all of this. We plan to have her back for our future trips away!

Safety, trust & environment

My living situation is not suitable for overnight stays as I live in an apartment with an unfenced courtyard. I can hang out at your house with your pet for an extended amount of time, either playing, giving pets, or just being around while I work on the computer. Whatever your safety needs are for your home, I will be happy to go above and beyond!

Information Helen T. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your dog's personality so that I can be prepared for what kind of energy to bring. Any sorts of special needs, allergies, and anxieties are useful for me to know so that I can prepare myself to best meet your dog's needs.

A typical day

I love to take dogs to the park, on long walks through the neighborhood or even on hikes. While we're at home we can play tug or throw the ball, or just hang out and cuddle!
