Highlights
Pet care experience
Fetch, beach walks, cuddles! WFH
I grew up with at least 2 dogs in the house for 18 years, and for a few years even 3! I've helped train dogs, volunteered at rescue shelters, and have been dog sitting for years. I have never known life without a dog in some way. I only use positive reinforcement and love working on commands. I've worked with a variety of breeds - min pins, beagles, dachshunds, labs, goldens, pitties, border collies, GSDs, yorkies, huskies, corgis, doodles, and more. I would love to care for any breed, big or small. I live a pretty active lifestyle, so I would love taking dogs on long walks and giving them tons of time and attention to play. I am very reliable in making sure all needs are met and of course giving them lots of love!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
WFH allows me to be available 24/7 to keep your pup company. If your dog is timid with people or dogs or reactive with cats, that won't be a problem.
Ratings and reviews
Athena was amazing and sent so many great photos. She gave my kitties so much attention and they were so happy
The best dog sitter I’ve ever had! My dog has separation anxiety, and Athena took such amazing care of him while I was away.She sent frequent photo updates, communicated wonderfully, and always asked questions if she wasn’t sure about something, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also took great care of my home. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely be booking with her again!!
Athena is AMAZING. She is so kind and patient with my crazy puppy. She goes above and beyond taking care of my pet and I would highly recommend her. She shares lots of pictures, communicates well, and is flexible. Can’t say enough positive things about her!
Athena was super responsible and attentive. She provides very thorough updates and lots of cute photos. I will absolutely request her services again.
We just had Athena stay with our Roxy girl for the past week. She was amazing with updates and pictures. She even took Roxy to the dog park as she loves it! Our house was taken care of as well! We couldnt recommend her more..no wait..maybe not as we dont want her booked up the nwxt time we need her!
Athena was so great and kept in communication with me the whole time we were out of town. My girls were comfortable with her right away and she was so detailed in asking me my dogs do’s and don’ts—we will use her again in the future!

Schedule
I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. M-F I work from 9-5, but I can leave in the middle of the day to take your dog on an hour long walk (and of course can do this before and after work) as well as several short breaks, and I can also play with him/her throughout the day.

- Please let me know if your dog has any reactive tendencies beforehand so I can best understand their unique needs. If your dog is simply shy or has a lot of separation anxiety, that's a non-issue. If there are any special needs your dog has, please let me know in advance so I can best accommodate them.
