Pet care experience
Hi, my name is Helena and if you're looking for a trustworthy person to to watch over your dog while they stay in the comfort of their home - I am your person! I am a long time animal lover, but my current lifestyle isn't compatible with the long term commitment to having my own dog. However, I have had dogs throughout my life. Most recent dog was named Delaware. He was my puppy I raised as a puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind back in California. It was a great opportunity where I learned a great deal about dog behavior and training. I have great respect for dogs and can't wait to have one myself. Until then, if you need someone to watch over your lovely pooch, get in touch with me! Also, if you have a cat that needs some love I can do that too! I have experience fostering/nursing young kittens. I do it all! As a puppy raiser for Guide Dogs for the Blind I have puppysat a number of puppies in the club of a variety of ages. I am also my family's go-to person and stay over at their house while I take care of their pets.
Reviews
Helena is awesome! We left our dog for a week and she stayed at our home and took amazing care of our dog. We could not have been happier!
Helena was great with our cat Marmalade whilst we were on holiday. He is quite feisty and needs quite a bit of entertaining but she must have coped well as he seemed to be pretty happy when we got back. Would definitely use again.
Helena was absolutely wonderful! She took time out of her day to meet Zoe and I before she babysat - which made me feel that much more at ease with leaving for the weekend. Helena sent lots of photo updates each day. When I got back from my trip, Zoe definitely seemed tired out, so I'm sure she had lots of play time. Thanks, Helena!
Helena was excellent. I and my dog Charlie are both new to Rover, but Helena was able to deal with the ambiguity very well. She was in daily contact and provided picture updates as well. I highly recommend Helena and hope she is available again if we need help in the future.

Information Helena W. would like to know about your pet
Please provide some info in your request or have your profile filled out so I can get an idea of the needs your puppers has. What they like, don't like, their schedule, walking routes, activity preferences, behavior with other dogs, etc. I also insist on a meet and greet prior before committing.
A typical day
Happy to go on walks on routes your pet likes, or happy to shake things up. I am a casual runner, so if your dog needs to run, I'm happy to do that. (I just ask they are well behaved on leash.) Go to the park, play fetch? I'm game for all of it! I especially like hiking, so game for that too.
