Pet care experience

Your pet WILL be spoiled :)

Whether it was running with my grandmother's Husky, or cleaning her English Bulldog's ears, wrinkles, and eyes, I've been caring for dogs of all sizes since I was a young kid. Before moving to MA, I cared for my late family dog for 10 years, a beautiful yellow Labrador Retriever (in need of special care as a senior pup), and occasionally cat-sat for some friends. Since September of 2021, I’ve been regularly walking dogs and pet-sitting with Wag and Rover. I started in the Medford/Somerville area, and now service Allston/Brighton.

Safety, trust & environment

I can crate your dog if needed, or brush your long-haired cat's coat frequently, and will follow any specific instructions given to me. I can guarantee that all my attention will be on your furry friends, ensuring they are safe, hydrated, fed, and happy. I also love being active, so I can spend lots of time playing with them.

Helena is amazing!! My cat is currently decompressing in a new environment and she was so adaptive and helpful even when he was hiding away. So grateful for her!

Helena did a great job watching my cat, Vimla! She did everything that Vimla needed, got Vimla to play with her, and was frequently in touch with updates and photos. Helena is my top choice for watching Vim.

Helena really is the best! She notices when my cat’s a bit more anxious than usual and really takes the time to hang out and bond with him. There’s a reason she’s his favorite!!

Helena always goes above and beyond!!! There’s no one I trust more with my cat while I’m away, plus she sends the best updates :)

Schedule

When I’m not pet-sitting, I’m managing a smoothie shop! I have a (mostly) flexible schedule aside from working four 7-8 hour shifts every Wednesday through Saturday, though the exact times vary weekly. While this means I can’t give 24/7 care to your fur baby, I will show them all the love and attention they deserve in the time we do share together. Thank you for allowing me to spend my free time doing something I wholeheartedly enjoy: spending time with sweet animals!

Cats
Helena can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. If you give me detailed instructions on how you prefer to care for them, I am more than capable of satisfying both you and your pet's needs. Also, please let me know how I can accommodate for your lifestyle and home! I’m happy to be masked while in your apartment, for example, or complete cleaning tasks related to your animal!
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
