Highlights
Pet care experience
Experience & comfort w/ large dogs
I've lived with dogs since the age of 7, and have always taken part in caring for them on a basic level - walking, feeding, etc. - as well as showing them affection and attention. I am comfortable and have experience with dogs of all sizes but am especially fond of large dogs - both dogs I grew up with were labs. I love simply being in a dog's company, and I believe that getting to know and adjust to a dog's personality is an important aspect of taking care of them. In addition to my experience with dogs, I have also cat-sat for extended periods of time (up to three months), both in my own home and in the owner's, and also taken part in caring for the cats I lived with in New York. While I didn't know how to act around cats as a kid I've become very used to them (especially in my transition to small apartment life), and have grown to appreciate their - sometimes - calmer temperament.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In a client's home I like to be as unobtrusive as possible, and would love to know your pets favorite places to hang out or hide so that I don't disturb their routine too much. In addition, it is my experience that every pet has their own personality, and if there's anything about yours that you want to tell me, please don't hesitate to do so! I love friendly and attention seeking pets, but I also have experience living with animals who want and need their space, and I want to respect whatever their needs may be.
Ratings and reviews
Helena is the best! Very sweet and caring. Gave great updates on how my kitty was doing and was very attentive to his needs! Cannot recommend Helena enough!
Helena was amazing with my two animals. I have a senior dog and teenager cat, and they did a great job attending to both of their needs. Helena made sure to send me plenty of photos, and communication was perfect. I will be hiring them for overnight stays again!
Helena takes such good care of my pup. Thanks again!!
Helena was great! Very communicative and took great care of my pup, would definitely recommend!
My anxious pup took to her immediately. I would definitely hire again for dinner and a pee break.
Helena was great! She was very communicative and kept me up to date on my cats. She even went above and beyond and dropped in an extra time as well as bringing a package I received up to my apartment for me! Will definitely use her again the next time I need a sitter.
