Highlights
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.
Ratings and reviews
Helena has once again taken wonderful care of my cat while I was away. My cat was happy, well-fed, and clearly well looked after, and I came home to a spotless apartment. I really appreciate Helena's flexibility and how quickly she responds to messages and any changes. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you so much, Helena!
This was the first time leaving my new kitty with a sitter while I was away. I was of course a bit anxious to leave her with a stranger, but Helena quelled all of my anxiety the minute we met. She was WONDERFUL with my little nugget. Not only did she take excellent care of her, but she also sent frequent updates accompanied by multiple photos the whole time I was gone. She also offered to pick up a few things that I didn't get to before I left, which was extremely helpful to me. I greatly appreciated everything she did and it made me feel so much better about being away despite really missing my girl. I would HIGHLY recommend Helena to anyone for pet sitting and will definitely hire her again. Thanks Helena!!
Helena is always the sweetest and most caring sitter. She sends detailed updates and is quick in an emergency. It’s always such a pleasure to work with her. Thank you for everything Helena!
Helena took perfect care of my cat, Luna, for two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Everything was always clean and neat after each visit. I especially loved receiving so many photos and videos throughout the two weeks. They gave me so much peace of mind and made being away from Luna much easier. I highly recommend Helena to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!
Helena was incredible! She was patient with my shy cat and at the end of their time together, Benny cat was rolling around and being so sweet with her. She sent me ample check ins and photos and left my apartment in impeccable shape. Would rebook in a heartbeat!
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!

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!
