Pet care experience
Zen Guardian: High Vibe Pet Care
I am a dedicated wellness professional and raw vegan currently spending time in beautiful Kona. My lifestyle is built on clarity, presence, and deep respect for all living beings. When I care for your pets, I don't just 'watch' them—I connect with their spirit and ensure their environment remains a sanctuary of peace and safety. Whether you have a senior dog needing gentle energy or a high-energy 'Ohana' member, I bring a grounded, focus to every visit. I am particularly skilled at maintaining the high-vibration energy of luxury homes and am highly respectful of conscious, chemical-free, or plant-based households. I have been caring for and learning about dogs and cats for over 20 years and have been a professional, full time Rover sitter for over 9 years.I provide nurturing care for your pets, giving them lots of love and attention throughout their stay. I am very patient, loving and passionate about all animals. I am a life long Vegan and advocate for animal rights. I am highly motivated to provide the best possible positive energy and attention to your beloved family members. I am a 50 year old Mother of 5 and Grandmother. My kids are all grown up now. I have a Master's degree in Education from Southern Oregon University. I grew up in Southern Oregon and have lived in Oregon most of my life.I currently live at least half of the year in Hawaii. I will spend lots of quality time with your dogs and/or cats and provide love and massages. I am a yogi, swimmer and hiker. I enjoy being outside rain or shine. I am a trustworthy, reliable, flexible and safe pet care choice. Why Choose Me as Your Sitter? Professional Background: As a health coach, I am highly organized, communicative, and responsible. You can expect frequent updates and a very clean home upon your return. Big Island Savvy: I understand the unique needs of Hawaii homes. I am comfortable managing gated entries, catchment systems, off grid living and sensitive security needs. Plant & Land Care: I have a deep love for the land and a goal of owning my own fruit trees one day. I am more than happy to monitor irrigation, harvest ripe fruit (to prevent pests), and tend to your tropical plants or garden with care. Pet Wellness: Whether it’s senior dog care, specific feeding schedules, or just plenty of exercise, I treat your pets like my own family. I am local to the Big Island and available for both short-term stays and long-term caretaking roles. I look forward to meeting you and your furry ohana!"

Ratings and reviews
Athena was a wonderful sitter for our dog Hilo. She was patient, caring and responsible. She's a great communicator, kind and very professional. I would recommend her to anyone. She's a trustworthy person who is dependable. We felt right at home having her in our home and are grateful for her.
Athena, watched our dog Coco and house sat for us while we went on a 12 day cruise over Christmas and New Year. She is great!! She sent pictures and videos of our dog which was of great comfort during our trip. This is the second time we used Athena and plan to use her when we travel on an upcoming 19 day cruise.
Athena was super communicative and reliable! Nell had a great time walking with her 🐶
Athena is a professional and great with our BMD pup. She handled all his stubborn and young puppy behavior well. I also appreciate she was early and on time for the walk, which seems rare to find. Highly recommend!
Athena was great. I don't think our dog Coco missed us al all. She is very professional and I appreciated her sending us pictures of our baby while she house sat with him for two days. We already booked another house sitting with her in December for 15 days.
Working with Athena has been the best pet sitting experience we have had. Athena is reliable, kind and great at communicating. We were able to be worry free on our vacation which is priceless. We would love to work with Athena again.
