When I’m not traveling to sell my art at conventions, I’m at home snuggling my cats and making new art. I do my best to block out my schedule, but I’m pretty flexible and always happy to work something out.

Information Helena D. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference, but I do require to know an update of any aggressive tendencies, health issues, or general concerns before the official visit. They must be absolutely safe with cats.

A typical day

In our home we have plenty of toys (no bones or raw hide), brushes for anxiety and keeping tidy, and a puzzle-feeder for treats if we need extra mental stimulation. We love to do playtime enrichment, things like frozen treats and puzzles that keep your fur baby entertained and happy while they’re here. There’s also quite a few good napping spots with soft blankets to choose from.

Pet care experience

Friendly work from home artist that loves animals of all kinds. I have experience with most indoor pets ranging from bearded dragons to gerbils! 🐶🐱🐹🐸 My husband and I live in a small 3bd home in Centerpoint with our two sweet kitties: Reaper and Bowie. Our kitties are friendly and prefer guests that are familiar and comfortable with kitties as well.

Helena did a fantastic job with our boys. She sent pictures and feedback daily and the boys looked healthy and happy upon pickup; although I’m sure they missed us. She sent a picture of the boys and her cats staring at each other, it was so cute. She has her own fenced in yard which allows freedom to explore outside. Her price is reasonable and Helena was so very nice and personable. Will definitely use her services again!

Helena took good care of 2 high energy puppies. She was flexible in rescheduling and helping with pickup and drop off. I recommend Helena for cats or dogs care.

Helena has been the best cat sitter while we have been out of town! She truly cares for animals and it shows, she was beyond thoughtful. She cleaned, refilled, and even kept an eye out for the weather for us! We will definitely be using her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
