Safety, trust & environment
I follow each pet’s routine closely and can easily use crates if needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I value trust and make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and happy in any environment.
Information Helena F. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I appreciate learning anything important ahead of time. Please let me know about feeding routines, medications, medical needs, allergies, behavioral quirks, crate preferences, or anything that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable. I am happy to accommodate special care needs and want to make sure every pet receives the best care possible.
A typical day
I love making sure every pet has the best time while they are with me because I truly value their happiness and well being. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, runs, hikes, and outdoor adventures in nature. If a dog enjoys water, I am happy to take them to safe areas like lakes for swimming and play. I have a lot of experience bathing pets and keeping them clean and comfortable. During colder months, I make sure dogs stay warm, including using jackets if they prefer or need one. I love playing with toys both outside and inside, throwing balls, and giving pets plenty of attention. I am also comfortable using crates when needed and practicing basic training and commands to keep dogs engaged and confident.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Helena. I have eight years of experience caring for pets through sitting for friends and family and volunteering at animal shelters. Whether it is dog walking, drop-in visits, or house sitting, I provide attentive and reliable care. I am certified in First Aid and CPR for both people and pets, mainly dogs and cats, and I can also administer oral medications. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and basic training. I always adapt to each pet’s routine, energy level, and needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable.
Cat care experience
Helena also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Very punctual. Respectful. Hidden gem of a dog walker! Communicates well. Her calendar is always up to date with the dates she is available. She is super reliable. My dog Toast adores her!
I have known Helena for years, and I can confidently say she is amazing with animals. I have gone with her to the animal shelter, where she volunteered regularly and truly cared for every dog and cat she worked with. She was always patient, gentle, and focused on making sure each animal felt safe and happy. Helena has a natural ability to connect with dogs, whether it is on walks, during playtime, or while helping with basic training. I have also watched her work with her own dog, who knows many tricks that Helena personally taught. She puts a lot of effort into long walks and making sure dogs get enough exercise and attention. Helena is responsible, organized, and genuinely loves animals, which makes her a great sitter.
Helena has always been the main caregiver for our dog, and she has done an incredible job. She walks her dog daily, works on training, and has taught her dog many tricks through patience and consistency. Helena has also boarded dogs in our home and has gone to other people’s homes to care for their dogs and cats. She takes these responsibilities seriously and always follows instructions, feeding schedules, and routines. She makes sure every pet gets a good walk, attention, and proper care. Helena is very organized, dependable, and truly passionate about animals. I would trust her with any pet without hesitation, and I know she would treat them like her own.
