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.

Location

Chesapeake, VA

Athena D.'s Neighborhood

Pets

Chronically Covered in Pet Hair

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.

Athena always takes great care of our four cats - she communicates well throughout the booking and provides pictures every day, which we love! Highly recommend!

Athena did a wonderful job taking care of our cats. She kept us informed about what was going on with them by sending us daily updates with pictures. She always does a fantastic job and we would highly recommend her
