Loving and professional

Pet care experience

I would love to get to know you and your cute pups! My experience with animals is extensive, both with my own family pets and animal sitting over the years. I know how to administer fluids via IV as well as mixing pills and powders into food so sneaky little critters can't eat around their meds/supps. I enjoy spending quality time with every single one of my pup clients (and their humans too). Whether it's out adventuring with urban and nature hikes, or snuggling at home. I am very outgoing, and love to play outdoors and have fun! My weekly work week is pretty flexible and I'm rarely gone for work more than 8 hours a day. I look forward to meeting you and your critters.

Athena was wonderful! This was our second time having her house sit and first time with our puppy. She was very flexible and understanding when the morning of our trip, our puppy was experiencing some issues that required me to stay home longer and her to give some unexpected added medications. Our puppy hasn’t required many meds yet and Athena was able to figure out ways to get her to take them and she was immediately on the mend and did great while we were gone. She took great care of our girls and our home. I know that our pups can’t wait for us to leave again so she can come stay with them!

Athena was wonderful! Super responsive and kind. Willing to cater to my apprehensive, high anxiety dog. She gave lots of updates while we were gone and left our house in beautiful condition. I know our dog can’t wait for her to come back, we will definitely try to use her services in the future!

Athena is an amazing person to trust for dog walking and pet care. She was so loving and gentle with Dali but also reinforced his training. I cannot believe how lucky I am to have found her and I’m definitely going to request her to watch my pets whenever she’s able to. I recommend Athena to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly and punctual pet caretaker.
