Athena was fantastic! She did great with our Old English Sheepdog. On time and plenty of updates throughout the stay. Will definitely be scheduling her again.

Athena was great with our dog, Baazi! She provided great care, communicated well and send us lots of pictures and videos. Baazi suffers from a bit of anxiety and Athena quickly put us at ease that he was in good hands.

Athena is a dream dogsitter! My husband and I needed someone to watch our two dogs for a long stay (~1.5 weeks). I was so nervous with how my dogs would react to us being away from them for so long— especially one of my dogs who is extremely shy and does not do well with strangers— but Athena made us very comfortable with the idea. We met her beforehand, and was immediately sold by how she interacted with our dogs— so caring, sweet, and understanding. During the stay, I was getting constant updates and pictures/videos of them, and they seemed so happy— even my shy one was smiling! And when we picked them up,

We are delighted to share our exceptional experience with Athena as our dog sitter. Her dedication to caring for our senior dog while we were away was truly commendable. Athena demonstrated a remarkable level of expertise in handling and understanding our furry companion. Through regular communication, she provided us with timely updates, including numerous photos and videos capturing our dog's happiness and well-being. Leaving our beloved pet behind was not an easy decision, but Athena's attentiveness and professionalism put our minds at ease throughout our time apart. Her genuine care and commitment to our dog's welfare were evident. We wholeheartedly recommend Athena to anyone seeking a responsible and compassionate pet caregiver. Her outstanding services have left a lasting impression, and we are immensely grateful for the peace of mind she provided during our absence. Thank you, Athena, for your exceptional care and service. We highly appreciate your dedication and would not hesitate to entrust our furry family member to you in the future.
