Wonderful, Reliable House Sitter
Lee (Helene) has pet-sat for me twice. She communicates well about my kitty, and takes great care of him. She is very attentive to him as well as reliable and responsible, neat and clean. She left my house exactly as I left it. I was very glad she was available the second time I asked her. My cat knows and loves her. He was excited and happy to see her again and started interacting and being loving to her right away. Lee is my first choice for house sitter!

What an amazing human being!
This was our first sit through MindMyHouse - prior to this, we had used Rover a couple of times or relied on friends to watch our cats. To say the least, we were both a little apprehensive about having someone stay at our place for 5 weeks who we had only met a day beforehand. After this experience, not only would I HIGHLY recommend Lee to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter, I will definitely be using MindMyHouse again. Lee is a very considerate person; really thoughtful, friendly, and a pleasure to talk to. She took very good care of our flat (and of course, our cats). I know this because our cats grew attached to her and she left our flat cleaner than it was before we left. We loved seeing the photos of our cats she would send to us, along with the cute little captions that exemplified the personalities of our cats. Lee also made the most of her time here, which makes me happy to hear. We came back to an incredible list of recommended restaurants and bars that she made (this was helpful since we recently moved here). I can't recommend Lee enough. Really, really glad she found us and she is welcome back to our place anytime for any reason.

Outstanding house sitter! Once again.
Lee came back this year to take care of our house and our 12 year old dog Renly. As before we felt comfortable. Dog and house were in good hands!

Outstanding house sitter!
Lee was a fantastic house sitter. She took great care of our dog Renly (11 yrs old), sent wonderful pictures with funny captions frequently and took great care of our house. We couldn't even tell she had been here. Everything was spotless (maybe even better than we left it!) and nothing was out of place. Highly recommend her!

A gem!
Helene Is a bright, responsible, caring and wonderful person. She came to stay ay at my apartment and take care of my cat, Eno, for a month. I could not have asked for better care of both Eno and my apartment. Helene went above and beyond, texting me photos and videos of Eno with very funny, clever captions of his thoughts about the situation and his “service human”, imagining life from Eno’s eyes. I had no concerns that he was in competent hands and had loving care, from the photos, videos and communications. Whenever I reached out to Helene she responded immediately. From the photos and videos I could also see that the apartment was kept neat and clean. When I arrived back home, I was happy to walk into a clean, neat apartment. Helene had washed all of the bedding and towels, as well as the throw covers I have over the couches. The bed was made. The surfaces were free of dust, the floors and rug were vacuumed and clean, and everything was in it’s place. I‘m very happy, and feel lucky, to have found this lovely woman for Eno, and I hope she will available for the next time I need a sitter!

Rest Assured
We can't say enough good things about Lee (Helene). Mature, responsible, intelligent, witty and best of all, assuring. She made leaving our kids (and our home) in her care while being off grid for almost 3 weeks effortless and worry free. It was an absolute joy getting to know Lee and hearing about her adventurous world travels. She is someone who really maximized both her time with the pets as well as getting out and exploring the city, including dog friendly restaurants! She provided great TLC for our geriatric old man kitty and our smart and active dog absolutely fell in love. It was obvious both our home and our animals received loving care and we simply couldn't be more grateful. HIGHLY recommend!

Highly Recommend!
Lee was an amazing house and cat sitter. She was incredibly easy to communicate with both before my trip and while I was away, and she regularly kept in touch and sent pictures of my two cats (often with some pretty funny dialogue attached!). I was completely amazed at how quickly my cats warmed up to Lee, as they are normally very shy (one was feral and the other a seven year shelter cat). She clearly has a very calming, loving presence with cats because they were snuggling with her within a few hours! She left my apartment spotless, even going so far as to organize under the sink, which is a task I had been putting off. This was the first time I had left my cats for more than a couple days, and I felt completely at ease for my entire three week long trip knowing that Lee was taking great care of them. Thank you again!

Best house/dog sitter ever!
Helene (Lee) was the best sitter we have used. She was easy to communicate with ahead of time as well as while we were away. It was great to get updates and photos of our dog while gone. We know he was so well taken care of with walks, care, and love. She was reliable and everything someone could ask for in a house/dog sitter. The house was extra clean when we got home - couldn’t even tell she was there. I also had the pleasure of spending the evening with Lee before we left and she was great company and a pleasure to hang out with. I wish she’d want to come to our home every time we go away! We are forever thankful for living our older dog and caring for our home.

Helene Lishner
Not only will my dog “Scout” never get over having been treated like a queen and totally pampered; Lee is a wonderful giving person on every level. When she arrived we were getting ready to leave for a month. We unexpectedly had an apartment rent just days before. I was scrambling to get all these loose ends tied up. Without being asked at all, Lee pitched in and helped me do a million things. It was just so nice and totally not expected. We can’t get over her kindness towards us and our dog. She sincerely enjoys dogs and that is why she is doing the house sit. You can completely trust her to take care of your animals and your home without one reservation. She keeps in touch, she posts all the time on her own Facebook page darling photos of my dog. I can’t say enough about Lee and her common sense in all areas, and her genuine joy interacting with my dog. She took my dog many places in the city because she thought it would be fun for her, she walked her, even in the middle of the night in snowstorms, she went out and bought more dog food, she monitored for an injury and kept me updated. I will now be spoiled for all time, along with Scout!! I can’t think if one thing that could have been done better or differently. Thank you, Lee!! I was able to take a month off which I haven’t done since after college and know that my dog and house were just “off my list” of worries. I had such a better trip because of that peace of mind Lees presence gave me.

Responsible, communicative, clean and capable house sitter!
Helene (Lee) was the perfect fit for my housesitting needs. Since we both were new to using this service we spent some time getting to know each other and what we were looking for over Skype. I could tell right away she was very responsible, caring, smart, and trustworthy and once I finalized my travel plans we finalized plans for the housesitting. My dog Dagny loved all the attention and love from Lee while I was gone. I felt connected to my pup the whole 2.5 weeks I was gone as Lee was so great about keeping me informed and sending me great pics of her. She even took her to a dog friendly comedy show!! After coming back home my house was spotless and I could tell was well taken care of. I highly recommend Lee as a great and reliable housesitter!
