Learn More About Helena
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!

I’ve tried Helena for the first time. It was easy to set up “meet and great”. She paid attention to the instructions and was very charming and attentive with our cats. I felt safe leaving the cats under her care. Her visit went well, she did a wonderful job - plenty of photos and updates😻😸Would definitely use her services in the future.

Helena did a wonderful job with our babies. This was our first time ever trusting anyone with them- and happy we did. We have an escape artist and we were concerned about trusting someone. Helena brought a cardboard shield to help make sure Charlie didn’t escape when she came in. The boys loved her.

The Best Cat Sitter Ever! I’ve had several sitters in the past, but none compare to Helena! She truly goes above and beyond every single time. She doesn’t just care for my cats she treats them like they’re her own. From the daily updates and adorable photos to the extra cuddles, brushing, and playtime, she makes sure they feel completely loved and safe while I’m away. It’s rare to find someone this thoughtful, responsible, and genuinely passionate about animals. My cats adore her, and I always have total peace of mind knowing they’re in her care. I can’t recommend her enough she’s a gem!

She is absolutely amazing and truly one of a kind. The love, care, and attention she gives my girls is beyond anything I could have hoped for. She treats them like her own, keeps me constantly reassured, and always goes above and beyond. Denali and Glacier adore her, and so do I. She is always my cat sitter, my number one without question. I trust her completely and cannot imagine leaving my cats with anyone else. Highly, highly recommended 💛🐾
