Availability

I have a flexible schedule, which means I'm available for boarding, drop-in visits, and walks throughout the week, including weekends. This allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship to the pets in my care, while working around their usual routines. Your pet's wellbeing is always my top priority. This includes feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medication (where needed), and any special requirements to help them feel comfortable and settled. During warmer weather, I also take extra precautions to keep dogs safe. If temperatures exceed 22°C, I won't take dogs out for walks, as heat can be dangerous. Instead, I'll provide indoor enrichment, play, and plenty of attention, along with access to fresh water and regular comfort breaks in a safe, shaded area where appropriate.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a calm, loving, and secure home where pets can relax and feel part of the family while you're away. I live in a house with a large, fully fenced garden, giving dogs a safe outdoor space to play, explore, and enjoy regular toilet breaks. Inside, they'll have plenty of companionship, attention, and a comfortable environment to settle into. I also have a 5-month-old female Working Cocker Spaniel who is friendly, playful, and enjoys the company of other dogs. She has a gentle nature and is also comfortable around cats. I always introduce pets carefully and supervise interactions to ensure everyone feels safe and at ease. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll always follow your instructions regarding routines, boundaries, feeding, exercise, and any special requirements. My aim is to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I'd want for my own pet, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you're away.

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets has given me a genuine understanding of their different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I've owned a Labrador Retriever and currently have a Working Cocker Spaniel, so I have hands-on experience with both relaxed family dogs and more energetic breeds that require plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I've also had cats throughout my life, giving me a good understanding of feline behaviour and the importance of providing a calm, safe, and stress-free environment. In addition to caring for my own pets, I've looked after dogs and cats for neighbours, friends, and family, including home visits, feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and check-ins while owners have been away. I understand that every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to follow each owner's instructions carefully. Whether it's sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medication orally(if required), maintaining exercise routines, or simply providing plenty of love, attention and reassurance; I tailor my care to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well looked after. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for as if they were my own. I am also fully insured for your peace of mind and carry first aid kit either on me or in the car.

Athena looked after my mum’s French Bulldog, Bella, and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. From the moment they met, it was clear Athena genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Bella was happy, relaxed, and very well looked after, which gave us complete peace of mind. Athena kept us updated and was reliable, caring, and professional throughout. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet caregiver. Bella can’t wait to see her again!

Athena has been absolutely wonderful with my dog, Poppy. From the moment Poppy arrived, it was clear she was treated like one of the family, with so much love, care, and attention. She created a real home-from-home environment where Poppy felt safe, happy, and completely at ease. Athena really took the time to understand Poppy's individual needs and made sure they were always met. She enjoyed plenty of lovely walks, lots of affection, and all the care and attention she could have wished for. It was obvious Poppy was having the best time. One thing I especially appreciated was the regular pup-dates, with thoughtful messages and lovely photos that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Seeing how happy and settled Poppy was made all the difference. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Athena to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and genuinely caring pet sitter. She goes above and beyond to make every dog feel like part of the family, and I know Poppy can't wait to stay with her again.
