Intl. Pet Parent & Sitter

Pet care experience

We live in a private brownstone in Park Slope, on a park block, with a garden. I have personally rescued (after finding), rehabilitated and rehomed over fifteen dogs abroad and work firsthand with several pet rescue organizations in the U.K.. Having had pets in my home since childhood I am never without dogs, experienced with puppies and elderly dogs alike, as well as special needs. Professionally, I also pet and house sit throughout Europe for extended periods and have several repeat clients and references available. Thank you

Louie had such a wonderful time staying with Athena. She was so gentle and clearly very experienced with dogs. She made him feel so comfortable, kept him active, and he left very happy. Athena also shared some insight and recommendations for him. Louie is looking forward to staying with Athena again!

We was going away for 12 days this summer and looking for someone to take care of our little guy, Baxter. This was the first time we had left him with anyone for longer than 2 nights, so were really nervous about doing so. Athena was simply wonderful! An obvious dog lover and genuinely lovely person, it was clear from the moment we met her that she would take good care of Baxter and would treat him like her own. Athena kept us updated on Baxter numerous times while we were away so that we wouldn't worry about him too much. When we came to pick him up, he was a very happy pup and we could see that he had built a bond with Athena and her two beautiful dogs Lily and Braith. He also came back a better walker and now barks less, so she made good progress on his training. Any time I go away again without Baxter, I will be calling on Athena to look after him.
