I grew up with lots of cats and have always had a special love for them and a strong emotional connection. I am the proud parent of two rescued tabbies, a girl and a boy, that just turned 5. The daily interactions with my cats and the bond that we share is something I cherish deeply. As far as my career: I am the VP of a staffing agency in the special event industry.

I grew up with lots of cats and have always had a special love for them and a strong emotional connection. I am the proud parent of two rescued tabbies, a girl and a boy, that just turned 5. The daily interactions with my cats and the bond that we share is something I cherish deeply. As far as my career: I am the VP of a staffing agency in the special event industry. I work from home as much as possible so I can spend more time with my cats. I also help taking care of my neighbors’ cats whenever they travel. I read books about cats, watch documentaries, attend trade shows, and donate to local cat shelters. I would be honored to take care of your precious feline(s) while you are away, and will take care of them with love, patience and compassion. You will receive daily detailed reports, along with pictures and videos of your cat(S) - I know what is like to be away from your beloved pets and my goal is for you to know that they are in “great paws!!”

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I would suggest they spend some time reading the cat sitters’ profiles. There are a lot of great options on Meowtel! I would also encourage customers to have detailed notes available about their cat(s) that they can share with the cat sitter at the meet and greet. That is extremely helpful and makes the experience seamless and successful for everyone.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available during holidays. I prefer to travel during off-season, when things are more calm and more manageable.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I find that the wand with the different attachments is very popular among cats. A close second favorite is the spring. One of my cats spends a couple of hours every day playing with it and pretends it is her prey.

We needed to find someone to take care of our 2 boys for 3 weeks while we were on our honeymoon. We were nervous because Helena was new and it was the longest we’ve ever left them. After day 3, I stopped worrying, knew that it was a great fit, and could relax! Helena is kind, patient and professional. she provided great updates and our kitties warmed up to her immediately. Even our floof, who is normally nervous around people, would greet her at the door and purr. She went above and beyond when there was a crazy rainstorm and water leaked through our doors/windows, providing her own towels and drying our own linens that got wet. Usually our (spoiled) cats are visibly upset with us when we return after leaving them for more than a week but this time when we returned they were happy and resumed their normal routine. I’m so happy we found Helena (and so are our cats) and will definitely book again for future trips!!

Helena did an amazing job watching my two boys while my husband and I were away for 2.5 weeks. I received very detailed updates each day with multiple pictures. She really has a special bond with my cats including one who usually is not okay with other people. She's very patient and kind with the cats that need space and very attentive to the ones who need attention. Leaving my boys for so long was really hard but knowing I had absolutely no reason to stress over their wellbeing because they were in such good hands made it possible for me to fully enjoy my vacation.

So happy to have found Helena- she is so wonderful! Helena came over before our first visit to make sure she knew the details and meet the cats, and sent timely updates during the stay. she brought some new toys to play with my rambunctious young cat and spent extra time with her. I can tell she really loves cats and wants the best for them! 🥰

Helena was amazing. She was super detailed in all of her updates and took amazing care of my boys. One of which is almost always not welcoming to anyone other than myself and even he was friendly with her. She's special. She was very attentive to all our directions and even took notes during the meet and greet. I will definitely be using her for all our future catsitting needs!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Redondo Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $34.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
