Your dog’s #1 fan!
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Helena and I love your dog. It’s always a great day if I get to meet a pup. I’ve even been dubbed as "Friend to All Dogs" by my those I know. I have experience house/pet sitting and walking from 3 month old puppies to 80 pound elderly golden retrievers. I look forward to meeting your dog/my new best friend!
Reviews
I had to go out of town less than a week after bringing home a new puppy, and I was pretty nervous about leaving him so soon. Helena stayed at my apartment with him all weekend and was phenomenal! She followed all my instructions, kept a careful log of his habits (when and what he ate, when he went potty, etc.), and sent me updates by text throughout the weekend. I felt so much better knowing my pup was in good hands and he is still so excited every time he sees her!
Helena is my go-to dog sitter! My puppy, Booker, absolutely adores her and is so excited to see her every time she comes to play. She really goes above and beyond with Booker, from middle of the night wake ups (for small puppy bladders!) to wiping Booker's paws when he came back into the apartment after walks. She keeps me up-to-date with photos of my dog, and I know he has ample playtime and snuggles when he's with her. She's extremely professional, and I trust her to stay in my apartment with my dog just as much as I'd trust her to host him in hers. Helena truly loves dogs, and is great with puppies as well as adult dogs. I would not hesitate to recommend her to others, and she is absolutely my first choice for Booker when I head out of town or need to be away from my little guy for more than a few hours at a time!
About Helena E.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Leash safety is important, so I always make sure that the leash/harness is on and is on correctly. No food will be given to the pets unless otherwise specified/requested by you.
Information Helena E. would like to know about your pet
- Food regimen (amount of food, times of feeding, any dietary restrictions) - Treat policy (can I give them to him/her? How many? What for?) - Level of training (what are you working on with your dog? Would you like me to continue the work while I'm sitting? What commands does your dog know/respond to?) - Medications (if applicable) - Bed time/wake time (if applicable) - General relationship to other dogs and people I have the most experience with golden retrievers, poodles, and cavaliers, but I have no preferences.
A typical day
If there is a park near your apartment, we will go! If not, I will make sure the walk is of sufficient length and distance for your dog. Hopefully we'll find some nice sticks along the way! Depending on the temperament and interest of your dog, we will play fetch, tug of war, and go on walks. Your dog will get lots of belly rubs and pats!

Availability
I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of time for pet care! I’m able and happy to pet sit as well. My building is not pet-friendly, so unfortunately I can’t board.
