Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary Medicine Student
Hello! I’m a veterinary student with over 6 years of hands-on animal care experience, including working as a veterinary technician in both an animal hospital and veterinary clinic. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do on the side, it is what I’m training to do professionally. My veterinary background allows me to provide a higher level of care than the average sitter. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for subtle changes in behavior or health, and caring for senior pets, puppies, and animals with special medical needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and my goal is to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’ve also worked at a dog boarding facility, where I gained extensive experience with canine behavior, body language, and individualized care. This helps me tailor my approach to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and routine. In addition to my professional experience, I’m a dog parent myself. I truly understand how much your pet means to you, and I treat every animal as if they were my own, with patience, affection, and respect. Whether your pet needs extra attention, structured care, or medical awareness, they’ll be in knowledgeable, compassionate hands. I’d love to meet you and your pet and become a sitter you can rely on with confidence

Ratings and reviews
My dog Hermie had a wonderful time with Athena! In all the pictures she sent, he was grinning from ear to ear 😁🐶 She took him on many walks and made sure he was comfortable. Athena took great care of Hermie and we are excited to use her service in the future!
Athena R. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.

Athena R is someone I could go on about how helpful and great she is at dog sitting. She will take care of your dog as if it was one of her own. She will keep your dog safe and with show it so much affection. Athena actually has taken care of my dog once when I was away on vacation and that one time, she did my dog seemed happier. Athena is someone I recommend looking after your dog.
I could not have asked for a better dog sitter than Athena! She took care of my two Rottweilers at the beginning of the summer and absolutely exceeded my expectations. Her attention to detail, genuine love for my pets, and responsibility is beyond compare. She is the best choice for anyone seeking a great pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment
I am well-equipped to provide exceptional drop-off visits for your beloved pets. I understand the importance of consistency and routine, and I will ensure that each visit is not only a necessary task but also a chance to give your pets genuine care and attention. I am also very active and enjoy dog walking, playing outside, and getting in exercise!
A typical day
Physical and mental stimulation for dogs is very important. I like to do this through walking, playing with toys, and giving genuine attention to the pets I watch.
