I love big dogs and cannot lie!
Pet care experience
I've been dogsitting for friends and family for years. I volunteered with the local humane society for several years, and my specialty was taking dogs to offsite adoption events and helping them to shine. I've got experience giving dogs multiple meds a day, when needed. I'm generally available to come to stay at a client's house throughout the week, but I do work from 8-3:30-ish (occasionally have to work until 5:30, but that's pretty rare). I work in the school system, so I'm available during school breaks full-time. The highest number of animals that I have cared for during one stint is 4, and I'm comfortable with both cats and dogs. I'll play, snuggle, walk, etc. I love dogs in every shape and size, and I'd love to come take care of yours.
Reviews
Athena is the best! She is responsible, reliable, and great with a variety of animals. She is a very good house sitter as well. She pays attention to written directions meticulously and leaves the house clean. She is an excellent communicator. Highly recommend.
Athena is a fantastic house- and pet-sitter! She watched our three large dogs, very old cat, and cantankerous parrot, and everyone was healthy and happy when we returned from our trip (she even managed to bond with the parrot). We will definitely ask her to house-sit again and would recommend her to anyone.
Vet pleased! Athena was wonderful; dogs loved her and she spent time with them!
Athine was wonderful with our two senior dogs! So much so they missed her when we came back from vacation! She was conscientious and diligent about giving them medicines on time; sent updates 2x a day and was overly generous in her snuggles and affection!! Athine even insisted on coming back to our house after a car accident to make sure our menagerie was taken care of! We could not recommend her more!!!

Skills
Information Athena B. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know how long the animal can stay on his/her own in the home so that I will know whether or not I can realistically accept the job. For example, if a dog needs to be let out every four hours, and it's during a weekday when I'm working, I cannot honestly accept that job. I'd also like to know about any medical conditions, anxiety, or behavioral issues (such as, "can get aggressive when in the dog park", or "afraid of children", etc.) so that I'm aware of any precautions I need to take when caring for your canine companion.
