No pet is too large or too small! 🐶🐱 Hi! I’m an experienced pet sitter and dog walker offering fun, dependable care for your animals. I grew up on a farm and have many years of experience caring for animals of all backgrounds. I specialize in in-home cat and dog drop ins and dog walks, and have a cat and dog of my own. I want to understand your pet’s routine and needs to help them be as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. Pets and playtime, long walks, meals, medications, or trips to the dog park - I’m ready to make it happen, and will tailor my visits to you and your pet’s needs.

Ratings and reviews
Athena loves all creatures. She has helped me for years, including with an older dog who needs random medications. She comes when she says she will, does what you want, and then does more to make sure your pets are happy in your absence. Absolutely trustworthy.
Athena is a great pet sitter! She watched my two toy Aussies and they loved her! I never worried about my pups while I was away. She is very conscientious and trustworthy! I was very sad when she moved from my area! I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!
Athena is a fabulous pet caregiver. She has supported our family during multiple, multi-day trips. We have two energetic dogs and two cats. Our schedule typically requires three visits a day. She always gives plenty of love and attention to each animal, managed multiple feedings and crated bedtimes. She walks both dogs, together or separately based on the need. We always get great pics of the animals during the visits. I would certainly recommend her taking care of your pets.
If you’re going to trust one person to take care of and love on your pets, let it be Athena! With decades of experience caring for dogs and cats (plus some other species mixed in there!), Athena pairs a solid knowledge of animals needs and training with a passion for making your pets feel loved! She is trustworthy, puntual, and great with animals. I would 10/10 hire her again.
Athena has been an excellent sitter for my pups! She spends lots of quality time with them and takes them on more walks than my husband and I usually have time for. When one pup needed special meds, she did a great job even when pup was difficult. Would absolutely recommend her as reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!

Schedule
I work from home, and am generally available throughout the day on weekdays and weekends. I pride myself on offering dependable and flexible pet care. If your pup is friendly, I would also be open to playtime or a walk with my (very friendly and energetic!) dog, who I walk morning and evening.
