Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs, cats and hamsters. I also have extensive dog walking, sitting, bathing and care experience. I’ve stayed overnight with dogs of all ages and sizes at my home and their homes. I also love cats!

Helena was absolutely fantastic with my dog. She sent pictures and updates during Lucey's stay. It was a great experience and I definitely trust her watching my dog. Thank you!

Helena is amazing. She was very patient with my temperamental cat & provided pictures & video updates all through my trip. Very kind, professional, & caring. It was a huge relief to feel like I could trust the person I was leaving my baby with!

Literally the best sitter we’ve had for him yet! She gives detailed updates with photos and video without us even asking how he’s doing. She also only takes one dog at a time which gives her the opportunity to give them her full attention. Our dog literally has such horrible separation anxiety to the point he won’t eat until we come back, but Helena was able to get him to eat. He also usually just sits by the door until we come back, but he was comfortable enough to go further into the house, sleep on the bed, asked for face/neck rubs etc. We’ve officially chosen her as our permanent sitter for whenever we are in NOLA and I’d recommend her to anyone with timid or shy dogs.

Information Helena S. would like to know about your pet

If a dog has any special needs, temperament or behavior quirks, allergies, etc. I should know about in advance; please let me know. It is helpful to know energy-level, routine, how I can expect him/her to interact with other dogs and people, etc.

A typical day

On weekdays I work from home full time. I love to take walks in the neighborhood to get a break from my desk. We also have a lovely park across the street for longer walks. On weekends I like to sit outside and read. The dog can play in the fenced yard while I’m reading.

Availability

I work full time from home, so it’s easy to dip out for walks/potty breaks. I also have a fenced in backyard which is great for zoomies. Central air so your baby won’t get too hot, and will never be left alone for long periods of time.
