Pets' Best Friend

Pet care experience

Growing up, my home was always full of furry friends, from the dogs who found us to the cats my mom fostered from the Humane Society. I have spent practically my entire life caring for animals; a home just doesn't feel like a home without a pet. My love for animals has become known in my group of friends as well. I have become the resident pet sitter for aged beagles, rambunctious one-year-old huskies, and everything in between. I am well-versed in dealing with special dietary needs and medical issues, and I am always happy to give pets the attention they need, whether it be cuddling on the couch or sprinting through the backyard. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets!

Athena is always great and I'm super comfortable leaving my girls in her care. She genuinely enjoys spending time with the dogs and sends some really great updates.

Athena was tremendous with my cat while I was gone for an extended trip. She took care of his needs and was very communicative. I would definitely book Athena for future cat-sitting needs.

Fantastic. No worries and I came home to happy cats and a clean house. What more can you ask?

I am always mindful of instructions I am given and I make sure to treat your pets and home with just as much love as I treat my own.

Information Athena S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs medically, as well as if he or she receives treats for certain behaviors. I also love hearing from owners about their pet's individual personality so I can cater the experience toward what is going to make the pet (and owner) the happiest.

A typical day

I love to give playful dogs lots of playtime with toys, then lots of chasing around outdoors to expend some energy. For my older, quieter dogs, lots of pets and cuddling on the couch. I love exploring our city's beautiful parks for walks, and, if your dog is the truly adventurous type, maybe even heading out for a hike at Cherokee Park. A few things you may like to know if planning to book your pet for a stay in my home: -I work in-office, but my husband, who also dogsits through Rover, works from home and can often assist with mid-day potty breaks. -We have a sweet, easygoing Australian Cattle Dog mix at home. She is nearly ten and gets along with every dog she meets. -We do not have a yard, per se, but we do have a large back deck that dogs love to play on. We live in a very dog-friendly, walkable area as well and are near a wonderful dog par, so we are happy to get your pups the exercise they need.
