Helene has been walking my girl Luna for the past few months, and honestly, I couldn’t ask for anyone better. Luna is sweet but definitely has her quirks. She’s a a tad bit sassy (when it comes to other dogs), super curious, and full of energy. Helene just gets her. And since she's been walking her Luna has been less reactive to people walking by and anything on wheels. With the updates she sends after walks, it’s so clear she truly cares. Luna goes nuts when she sees her. Her tail wags like crazy and she does her strong, happy dance/jump at the door. Now Luna is even aware what time she'll be getting her walk lol. I trust Helene completely. She's reliable, communicative, and so loving with Luna. If you’re looking for someone who will love your dog like their own and handle their "unique" personality with patience and joy, she's basically it!

Helene has been walking my dog since April, and let me tell you she is amazing! Rain or shine, she shows up with a smile on her face, ready for my Lunas unpredictable behavior ;). Luna lights up when she sees her, and honestly, I think she likes Helene more than me now. Zero complaints, just a happy dog and a very grateful dog mom. Highly recommend!

We went on a 10 day trip to Europe. One of our dogs is a pit/rottie mix so we were especially worried about a sitter entering the house while we were away. Helene was amazing. She got along with the dogs wonderfully. We received photos of our babies playing every day. It was such a relief. We weren't worried at all with our dogs in Helene's care. Helene helped make our vacation worry-free.

Sure! Here’s a heartfelt review you can use for Helene: Helene has been an absolutely amazing dog walker for my stubborn pup, Luna! She is incredibly patient, kind, and truly understands Luna’s needs. It’s clear she loves what she does, and her gentle approach has made such a difference in Luna’s confidence and happiness. I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in such great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker, I can’t recommend Helene enough!
