A love of long walks and fetch!

Pet care experience

I have experience training dogs to be AKC companion animals and for agility meets. While my schedule no longer allows training and competition I do enjoy working with animals and like the fun of having a visiting pet. I've been doing in-home pet care around Orlando for several years and am looking to use Rover to expand on the word of mouth business I currently run. I am a teacher so have lots of availability and time during vacations and holiday breaks. I have a five year old, 14 pound terrier mix named Lily. She is so friendly and really plays well with dogs of all breeds and sizes. We would love your dog to have some fun with us. If your dog is staying overnight feel free to bring their crate or bed and comfort items along and we will make our place their "home away from home".

I was very happy with Athena's service. She did a great job communicating her visits and we loved the photos. Would recommend her to others and would definitely book with her again.

Information Athena M. would like to know about your pet

I have children (ages 11 & 18). They are great with dogs and good playmates I do need to know in advance if a visiting dog has any aggression triggers like loud noises or play fighting. I can't risk a bite because you forgot to mention it.

A typical day

I leave near Lake Conway and our HOA has a terrific community lot. This is a favorite destination for walks and playtime. My large yard is also a great place to play.
