Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet tech looking for furry friends
Hi, I'm Helena! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, but I’m currently not in a position to have any of my own, so I’d love to hang out with yours! I’m a former veterinary tech for a renowned animal hospital in Vermont and have the ability to administer medications including subQ injections, such as insulin and subQ fluids. I’ve owned and trained both dogs and cats (yes, you can train cats) for over 20 years, and I’ve been caring for pets of friends, family, and community members since early childhood. I’m very active and enjoy working with energetic and athletic dogs, helping pet parents meet the exercise needs of their active pups. As an avid hiker and runner, I love having a trail companion!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I try to keep pets on a routine they're used to to minimize stress when pet parents are away. I love a cuddle buddy, so I have no problem with pets on furniture if they’re allowed at home - I will respect the rules you follow at home so as not to cause confusion for your pet. That also goes for any behavioral training you've done or are doing with your pet; consistency is key when it comes to training.
Ratings and reviews
Helena took care of our dogs for the second time and everything went perfectly. She’s easy to work with and our dogs were well cared for.
Helena was wonderful with our dogs! She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and made sure our pets were well cared for. She followed all of our instructions, sent us updates, and left everything neat and tidy. We really appreciated her help and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.
Helena was attentive and sent frequent updates and photos
Helena was great at giving regular updates of my pooch and took good care of the house. When my dog gives an extra excitable greeting (like she does with Helena), I know that she was in good hands!
Helena was awesome. We will definitely use her again and definitely recommend. Great communication. Very dependable. Did a great job taking care of the pup and house.
Helena is amazing! She watched our 2 year old golden in our home for a long weekend. She sent lots of pictures to keep us updated and took our dog on adventures to escape the heat and still get some exercise. We felt confident the whole time thanks to her updates and will totally be rebooking for future trips. Highly recommend.

Schedule
I typically work M-W 1pm-9pm, so morning drop-ins are ideal on those days. My schedule is otherwise quite flexible. Prefer to stay in the Salt Lake Valley, ideally between Downtown and Sandy.
