Pet care experience

Big Hearts for Small(and Big) Paws!

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been actively involved in their care since childhood. In addition to caring for my own family dogs, I have provided dog sitting and pet care for neighbors and families from middle school to after graduating college. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and providing attentive, loving care to your fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow their established routines as clearly as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, given fresh water, walked or let out for bathroom breaks, and provided with plenty of playtime and affection. I also keep the home clean, tidy up after pets, and communicate regularly with updates to give owners peace of mind.

Athena did such an amazing job with our girl, Maple! She was attentive, loving, and gave us the best updates, so we knew Maple was in good hands 🫶🏽

She is a great person and loves animals. She does a great job with caring for my dogs when me and my wife are out of town. Dogs love her too.

Schedule

I work 12 hour shifts and rotating weekends 3x a week, but I love that some days I get to sneak out early for some extra pet time! I'm happy to do drop-in visits before 6:00 a.m., around noon for a midday hangout, and after 6:00 p.m.
