Safety, trust & environment

At present, I do not take animals to my own home. I have a cat and dog, and two small children, so it’s easier for me to come to you, and I bet your pets prefer it this way, too! Depending on the length of overnight stays, I may need to bring my baby with me, so it’s important that your animals are kid-friendly.

Information Helena S. would like to know about your pet

Happy to care for dogs and cats of any breeds. Please fill me in on any behavioral or medical needs so I know just what kind of attention and care they need.

A typical day

I love walking and playing with dogs, and hanging out with cats in whatever way they like best, be that playing with toys, chin scratches, or just calm hang outs.

Pet care experience

Hello pet parents! I am coming back to Rover after a few years off to focus on my kids. I’ve been caring for animals personally and professionally for over ten years. From horses to dogs to cats to frogs I know how to keep animals happy, healthy, and safe. In addition to walks, runs, hikes, feeding, cuddles, and clean-up, I am comfortable with and have lots of experience administering oral medications. I have an elderly cat, a special-needs dog, and a flock of chickens, and I know how stressful it can be to find care for a pet with very particular needs. I am here to ease your worries! I am patient, intuitive, careful, and loving, and I am a great communicator who will keep you in the loop with photos and updates. I can't wait to meet you and your pets!
