I was so anxious to leave my dog because he doesn't really like new people. Athena was so helpful and accommodating. I asked her to come over twice before she took care of him and she happily did! She was really good with sending me pictures and updating me every time she came to my apartment and left. Definitely will be using her again!

We had only ever booked with Athena and we will continue to book with her always. She’s simply the best - communicative, friendly, a cat whisperer, etc. Our boys love her and she gives us so much peace of mind when we’re gone.

Athena was so great with our pup Fred! We needed some help with daily walks while my wife was out of town for work and I had shoulder surgery. We will def be booking with her again in the future 😊
