Athena is great. She housesat and took care of our dogs for a week while we are in Mexico. They were walked and well fed. We will definitely be using her again in the future.

Has Cat Sat for our two kitties three times and Athena's work has been excellent. Detail oriented she will manage your pet the way you want your animal to be cared for. Then send your picture to show you the great results. Highly recommended!!

Highly recommend Athena! Over the past 3 years we have had Athena care for our two cats on quite a few occasions, including two recent trips that were both 3 weeks in length. She is so attentive to our kitties - they just love her. One of our cats is especially shy but when she's around Athena, she comes out of her shell! Athena truly has magical pet powers! Athena is attentive, responsible and smart. She always responds immediately when I text her and sends me the cutest videos of our kitties while we are gone. Athena has always done what we've requested in terms of cat-care, litter box, feeding etc. Having Athena care for our kitties makes going out of town so much easier. I would not hesitate to have Athena watch my pets and home. She's A+ and 5 stars!!

Athena’s watched my pets a few times—my cat Mouse and my dog Reese’s—and I really can’t say enough good things. Mouse is super skittish and usually hides from everyone, but with Athena, it was different. She didn’t push it, just kinda let Mouse do her thing, and somehow they bonded. I remember coming home and seeing Mouse asleep on her lap, which honestly never happens with anyone else. Reese’s is a handful, total goofball energy all the time, and she handled him like a pro. Long walks, playtime, keeping him on his feeding schedule—she did it all without me having to ask twice. She even cleaned up a little around his crate, which she didn’t have to do. That kind of care goes a long way. You can just tell animals like her, and she really cares back. It’s not just a job to her. If you’re thinking about hiring someone to look after your pets, I’d honestly recommend her in a heartbeat. She’s one of the only people I actually feel okay leaving them with.

Schedule

Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I make it a natural part of my routine. Whether it’s morning visits, afternoon walks, or evening checkins, I plan my days around making sure each pet gets the time, attention, and love they deserve. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs it never feels like a chore, just something I love being a part of.

Hi! Before we book, I just like to make sure I have everything I need to give your pet the best care. Let me know if they have any routines, quirks, health needs, or anything else you’d like me to know. The more info, the better!
