Athena M.'s Neighborhood

Animal lover!

Pet care experience

I have a lifelong love for animals and am really missing having pets around! I’ve grown up with all sorts of dog breeds ranging from Pit Bulls to Havanese and feel comfortable around them all. I’ve also opened my home to foster dogs, embracing the joys and challenges that come with caring for both older dogs and newborn puppies. My commitment to the well-being of these animals extends beyond routine care to creating a warm and loving environment that caters to their individual needs.

We made our booking very last minute. Athena was away for the weekend so our dog ended up staying with her bf Will - they let us know before booking that it was just going to be Will- He was great - sweet to our dog, easy to communicate with, clean home and sent a photo of our happy pup.

Athena was amazing and very responsive while we were in town for our wedding. We were confident our dog, Camper, was in good hands and having a great time. Athena sent a couple photos and let us know they took him on some long walks which made us happy knowing he was having fun!

Athena was very responsive and our puppy had a great time spending the day with her. Would definitely recommend if you need a sitter in the Carmel area!
