Your pet’s new best friend!

Pet care experience

I have over 10 years experience of pet-sitting experience. I have continually pet-sat for one of the families since the beginning of middle school, when I first started petsitting. My experience has ranged from a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, birds, and even fish too! I have always loved animals and really enjoy pet sitting or volunteering at pet shelters back home. I also have experience as a vet tech. For my drop-in visits, I include some play time as well, so the pet has more human interaction and isn’t just being fed and then left. I would also love to help them with some engaging activities such as finding treats and food and working on basic commands! My walks can range in a variety of lengths, depending on the pet's needs and what the owner wants. I often will send pictures of the pet(s) to the owner, especially if it’s a longer time that the owner will be away to ensure security that their pet is doing well. I also have two dogs myself. I bring them with me almost everywhere that allows—they’re my best companions!

This was our first experience with Rover and we were a bit nervous, but Helena was incredible! We have a hard time going on trips because we love and worry about our kitties. She’s communicates greatly and our kitties who are usually a little too skittish of new people liked her a lot and made appearances. She also sent us great updates with picture, which we looked forward to. We had so much peace of mind knowing she was there watching over everything! 100000/10 would recommend her. We can’t wait to plan more trips now knowing our fur babies are in great hands!

Absolutely incredible dog sitter treated my pets like family even during the holidays when it was tough for her to get there. I would highly recommend her she had incredible customer service and was very prompt and every message sent back-and-forth

Safety, trust & environment

At home, my dogs go out at least 3x per day and to the dog park in my neighborhood a few times a week. I feed them twice daily, with treats for training practice in between! I love playing with my dogs and getting cuddles with them! My cat loves to play and cuddle, and join me on adventures in his “bubble” backpack carrier.

Information Helena S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or reactivity to be aware of! Also, any preferences you (or the dog) has while I watch them—I’m happy to help!

A typical day

I love to have dogs work with engaging activities , usually with the nose and finding treats or a Kong ball (I have two hounds). I also ensure they’re physically active and love taking them to parks and hikes with me! I also enjoy taking them to the dog parks to help with socialization skills.
