I wish I could give no stars to this dishonest business…read more I hired Djog after another dog running service gave my house key to a brand new employee without telling me (yikes!), and I was really hopeful this would be a good match. I met the owner, Trista, who promised to run my dog for 30 minutes a couple times a week. So far, so good. A couple of weeks in, I was at work when I got a notification that my dog was out of the house (she has Tagg GPS after an escape and it alerts me when she's out for her run). I was bored and decided to live vicariously through her and clicked the "track" option to see what fun she was having. Imagine my surprise as I watched Trista sloooooowly walk my dog basically around the block in 30 minutes (up a couple blocks, over one, and back home). Definitely not the 30 minute run I was paying for and my dog was expecting! But, I didn't want to jump to any conclusions. It was a warm day. My dog (a lab/chow mix) is fluffy and needs to lose weight due to steroids for allergies. Maybe she got hurt. Maybe Trista got hurt. There could be all sorts of reasons why she wasn't able to run that day. So I sent a message to Trista and asked her how everything went. I was expecting her to tell me that some problem came up. Imagine my surprise when she told me everything went fine and my dog was tired out after their adventure! At that point, I confronted her with the GPS information. Only then did she claim it was a hot day (actually, I'd asked her to come in the morning so it wasn't that hot yet) and that she was worried about running her. She also claimed she had been having problems with my dog laying down when she tried to head home and refusing to come home within the 30 minutes (well, of course, she isn't going to want to come home if she hasn't had her exercise! She very willingly heads home after she's tired). I checked the past GPS data and found that my dog had never been out with her for more than 30 minutes, so clearly the line about not being able to get her home within 30 minutes also wasn't true. She said she wouldn't charge me for that run since they didn't run - yeah, well, what about the other "runs" that you also probably did not provide? Why would I believe the only time you were dishonest was the one day I happened to catch you? Obviously, I would never want anyone to exercise my dog if they didn't think they could do it safely. But if there is an issue, tell me! Don't pretend you provided the service! The fact that the safety concerns were only raised after I confronted her with the GPS data is pretty suspicious to me. And my dog had been running for several months prior to this with no problems so she was clearly capable of running. Basically, she got caught and tried to come up with an excuse. I think maybe Djog is an abbreviation for "didn't jog" because they sure didn't jog my dog.

She's 100% reliable, our dog loves her, and always comes back worn out from her park visits. She's even put up with our dogs occasional (frequent?) skittishness and the fact that our dog is allergic to bees (requiring Helen to carry an epi-pen. No, seriously). On occasion we've also had her take our dog out/feed her for times when we can't get back home after work early enough, and the occasional pet-related house-sitting. I can't recommend Helen highly enough, honestly. There's no one else I'd want (besides myself, and even then...) helping me take care of my furry and not-so-furry creatures. 1-gillion-percent recommended (times infinity + 1).

In addition to animal-related services, Helen provides "concierge" service, i.e., support for various home projects, organization, errands, etc...
