Athena can care for
Availability
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.

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.
Information Athena K. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I love to play with dogs by taking them on walks around the neighborhood or by the beach so they can enjoy all the different smells, and playing lots of games like tug of war. I also like mentally stimulating dogs by working on commands (sit, down, paw/shake, etc.). I absolutely love giving them lots of pets, belly rubs, ear scratches, and cuddles too!

Fetch, beach walks, cuddles! WFH
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
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!
Athena was absolutely amazing! I will definitely use her services again. While on vacation, I didn’t have to worry about my dog, knowing he was being loved and cared for!
Outstanding communication and delightful housesitter.
