Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard with a lot of running room in the backyard. I have a doggie door so pets can relieve themselves on their own schedule. If your dog is not door trained, I can train them or take them out. I have a 13 year old Labrador retriever who is quite amenable to other pets (he mainly ignores them). There is plenty water available, but feedings are only on a schedule and in a private area. Lots of toys available. No bones, rawhide, or other questionably safe items.

Information Athena C. would like to know about your pet

I need to know any special needs your pet may have so I can adequately plan my day accordingly. Medication schedules and feeding schedules are one example.

A typical day

I love to play with the dogs according to their abilities. We can sit around enjoying brushing and petting. Lots of comfy places for naps. A large yard for playing ball.

Pet care experience

I have a lifelong passion for animals. I have always held a strong belief of the importance of treating pets with care and respect. As a retired accountant, I bring a level of professionalism and reliability to any task I undertake.Having owned animals throughout my life and coming from a family of fosters my experience in animal care is extensive. I have personally trained my own dogs as well as those of my friends. My home is meticulously designed to be pet friendly ensuring a comfortable and safe environment. I have also cared for pets who are in need of close medical needs and have studied animal CPR.I

Athena did great! Thor was happy, it sounded like my dog and hers got along well! Thor took his medicine orally. Ate his food. Fantastic. Stayed Monday - Friday.

Athena was amazing with our Golden. She was kind, patient, & went the extra mile with walks and training. We 100% recommend her for all dog sitting needs. Ours is already anxious for us to take another trip so she can return.

Athena was absolutely amazing with our dog, She clearly has a true love for animals and treated our pup like her own. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such caring and capable hands. She went above and beyond, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog. We would highly recommend Athena to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
