Athena (Xae) D.
Pet care experience
I've always had animals growing up. My care experience includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I'm familiar with caring for older and more skittish animals.
Reviews
She was great with my puppy, who is shy and skeptical of new people. My puppy warmed up to her on the first visit! She kept me informed and kept me from worrying when I was at work. I really hope to make her a regular!
Athena was very easy to work with! She was patient with me, as this was my first time using the app. She was willing to help me navigate any issue I had with booking her. Very reliable dog sitter and great at what she does. 10/10 recommend and would book again for future sittings!!!
I've known Xae for over five years now & all throughout that time they have consistently shown their genuine responsibility, adoration, and patience with pets (especially cats). Besides Xae having their own plethora of pets whom they care fondly for, Xae also has great compassion for other's pets. I have my own cat (so I can understand what is to be expected with cats); therefore, whenever I have questions or concerns, Xae is always available to help out whether that with advice, answers, or a surprise delivery of catnip. Xae is an amazing person and an even better pet caregiver, and I believe they would be perfect for anyone :)
About Athena D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I start off and end off each visit by giving the pets an opportunity for a potty break. The rest of the visit depends on what the owners and pets want/need - whether it's feeding, playing, spoiling with cuddles, or cleaning up the occasional accident.
Information Athena D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about any quirks and special needs, such as medication and allergies. I don't have a preference for breeds, but most of my experience involves basset hounds and cats.
A typical day
I'm used to couch potatoes, but I still adore playing with energetic furballs. I'll happily play with them by using their toys or allowing them to chase me around.

Availability
I'm currently in college, and my classes are online asynchronous. I'm available most days/times, and my availability is almost always up to date. I'll consider requests outside my service radius if the drive is less than 30 minutes. I'm near the Western Branch Alive Church if you need to look up the driving time.
