Athena took very good care of my dog for 10 days while my family and I were on vacation. I will definitely book her again to watch my dog.

Thor had a great time! Excited to come home and he definitely loved the walks and time outside watching cars and squirrels.

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!

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.

Pets

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.

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.
