About Helena

Hi, my name is Helena Riley, I am 22 and I am half English and half Chinese. I grew up in London in which I occasionally walked my neighbor's dogs and for my gap year (2017/2018) I had a job as a dog walker and a nanny. I am currently a third year Arts and Culture student at Maastricht University and I am hoping to find another dog walking job.

As a dog walker, I am very reliable. In my gap year, I walked a Saint Bernard with aggression issues directed at men and within 3 weeks I had managed to get him off his muzzle completely and walk him with male dog walkers. I also walked an English Bulldog puppy, belonging to the same family, where I learned how to manage cherry eye and where I managed to train him to be better behaved. During our walks, I also made sure to brush the Saint Bernard outside, as his fur was making a mess in the house, sit down and play with the puppy and to provide treats, water, and poo bags to ensure a clean and happy walk! More recently I have had experience with a reactive Saluki and energetic Greyhound. I used several techniques to help reduce the Saluki’s reactiveness around other dogs and saw great progress with him over a few months.

When it comes to walking your dog, I do walks that last between 1-2 hours, depending on the size, the temperature outside, and age, I will tailor it to what your usual routine would be. I can walk your dog more than once a day depending on what you would prefer. Also, I will provide poo bags, treats, and water.

I would like to be a dog walker/pet sitter as I have quite a bit of experience and I love being around animals. I will always make sure to tend to your pet's needs but at the same time be firm enough to tell them no when necessary. I hope you decide to choose me as your new dog walker/pet sitter!
