Pet care experience

All dogs welcome! Special needs too

I have taken care of dogs from newborn up to 19 years of age. I have 2 years of experience working at a dog rescue as well and understand how to handle dogs of all behavior types. I am also educated in how to care for dogs with social and separation anxiety. I'm happy to send photos/updates if you're missing your fur baby while you're away. I'm a pet parent to a special needs dog who needs medication administered daily, so I am happy to take care of your special needs dogs too. Let me know which special needs your fur baby has so I can provide the best quality care. Your dog(s) will always be my priority. P.S. if you have other pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, lizards, turtles or other animals I am comfortable with that too. I currently have a house rabbit and have had turtles, frogs, and snakes in the past.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet parent to an older, special needs dog, I know how important it is to provide a safe environment for your pets. I am committed to making sure your pet is safe, happy, and well taken care of. I am also more than comfortable administering medications if your pet requires special care.

Athena was fantastic, not at all fazed by having three dogs at once, one of which can be a little hard to handle. A true professional who has experience. Athena is friendly with a calm manner that helps the dogs feel more at ease. I have already rebooked, highly recommended.

Athena has house and dog sitted for us several times. Our puppy absolutely adores her. She has the sweetest nature with all animals but especially dogs. It’s a wonderful comfort to know the house and puppy are well taken care if we have to leave out of town! Thank you Athena for taking care are ball of energy so effortlessly

Athena has worked with me at a cat and dog rescue where we supervise and provide care for our dogs and cats. She was always diligent and watchful over the animals and was careful to read their body language and identify any sort of problems in regards to the state of their health. Shes excellent at keeping them in a calm state and is capable of identifying an animals' personality traits. She would be excellent help for anyone's pet.

I have watched Athena take care of many different types of pets over the years. In that time she has become a very responsible and loving caregiver to all the pets in her care. I can not recommend her highly enough to care for pets on a temporary or more full time position??

I am comfortable with all breeds and behavior types, but I would like to know if there are any things that trigger your particular dog. If your dog is afraid of men, is toy aggressive, has anxiety or has some other issue they are working on, please let me know so I can best suit their needs.
