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.

Helena was fantastic. This is the first time we left our cats with anyone we hadn’t known before and we were very nervous. At the meet and greet Helena put us at ease taking lots of notes on what Mila and Niko enjoy, how we usually feed them and what times, even what are their favorite toys and how do they like to play. Which really helped make us feel more confident. Each visit our cats, who are usually shy, meet Helena at the door. Helena spent time playing with the cats before feeding them, and after each visit sent a great report with lots of photos and videos. It was so good seeing the cats all happy and clearly enjoying Helena‘s company our home was left very tidy with any cat litter cleaned up and changed as well as the kitten, food bowls and area around them being very clean, Helena totally put our mind at ease that the cats were being well looked after and we would definitely like to have Helena look after the cats again.

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.

Helena was fantastic! She went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were happy, safe, and loved while we were away. She even got our super scared kitty to come out of hiding on the first try! Amazing! He usually hides the entire time new people are in the house. When one of the kitty toys broke, she bought them a new one! She also brought over extra toys so the kitties would have variety during play time. And, when I saw on our kitty camera that a small piece of jewelry had fallen on the floor near the cats' food, she made an extra stop to remove this choking hazard. This last point was really, really above and beyond. We will definitely hire Helena again and again.

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! 🥰

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!!

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 $35.00. 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!

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!

We’ve used Helena multiple times to care for our two cats, Bug and Ichabod, and she has become our go-to sitter whenever we travel. Every experience has been exceptional. Helena is reliable, communicative, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. She takes the time to understand each cat’s unique personality and always makes us feel confident that they’re in great hands. Her updates and photos while we’re away provide tremendous peace of mind, and it’s obvious from the cats’ demeanor that they genuinely enjoy spending time with her. One of the best compliments we can give is that we keep coming back. Finding someone you trust with your pets is invaluable, and Helena has earned that trust time and time again. We always return home to happy, relaxed cats and a smooth, stress-free experience. We wholeheartedly recommend Helena to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and professional cat sitter. We will absolutely continue booking with her 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.

Helena is the best cat sitter I’ve had on Meowtel. She always takes such good care of Cookie but was especially amazing this week. Cookie had a litter box accident (which she has never had before) the day before I was supposed to leave for a short trip. Helena was able to come last minute to look after Cookie and she provided updates that eased my anxiety while I was gone.

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 💛🐾
