Loyal Loving Pet Care
Pet care experience
I have been a member of the veterinary field for the past 15 years. I have worked in several clinic settings and have years of hands on experience. I am a certified veterinary assistant but worked most years when you didn’t need a technician license so my skill set is more geared towards that experience level, which is more advanced. I have had many animals over the years and cared for a variety of my own pets as well as other peoples pets, ranging from dogs and cats to pocket pets, avians and even some exotics. I have experience feeding, walking, medicating, bathing and overall general care of animals of multiple variety. I have a college background in animal science, as well as taking fear free training courses in addition to stress/behavior sensitivity training sessions with behaviorists I have met over the years. I feel pets bring so much joy and love to enrich our lives that we should try to strive to give them the same high quality love and care in return. I hold myself to a high standard of care and I aim to provide the highest quality care for any animal I meet or attend to.
Reviews
Helena did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. She is dedicated to making sure all aspects of their needs are met and she goes the extra mile. I especially appreciate the time she spent getting to know both of them. I have a very shy one and she was able to interact with him much more than I expected. She is also a great communicator. I definitely recommend her!
Thank you so much for being so great to Rambo. You always get great photos of him and he loves you so much. Since he is a older dog I appreciate all your detailed updates on his walks.
Helena was able to give last minute care for our large dogs. I wasn't worried at all and appreciated the pictures!
We appreciate Helena’s patience with our pup! Thanks for being so kind to him :)

Information Helena S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any specific disabilities, or exercise limitations or specific play time activities they enjoy. I like to know specific commands, signals you use with your pet as to keep consistency for their routine. Please let me know if your pet has any sensitivities or food/environmental allergies. As well as any additional information you feel I need to know such as certain other breeds, size or gender of dog your pet doesn’t get along with.
A typical day
I like to know if a dog has a special fun place they like to go, I will play with toys, throw tennis balls and be interactive with your pet. Long strolls are fun, your dog and I can walk at a brisk pace to get our heart rates up, but I am not a runner just FYI. :)
Services
Helena can watch in your home
Availability
I am currently taking a break from the veterinary field where I recently was a practice manager at a vet clinic in Gig Harbor. Therefore my schedule currently has open flexibility.
