Athena can care for
Availability
My schedule is generally quite flexible at the moment. Please note, at my current price point, I am not accepting sits that require 1+ hour of walking or other dedicated entertaining per day. Sits shorter then 3 days I may not accept or may wish to skip the meet and greet. Appreciate your understanding.

About Athena W.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
Walks - I'm on the slow but steady side, ideal for dogs that like to sniff Visits - Early mornings or evenings most of the time. Mid-day coverage variable, to be confirmed at time of booking
Information Athena W. would like to know about your pet
Walking routine, how much exercise they require to be happy and healthy. Any mobility issues that might impact their ability to come up and down stairs. Comfort level with other dogs. Mostly I anticipate one client at a time, but on holidays I may take more. If medical needs, directions on when to call the owner and when to seek out a vet. No current experience administering intravenous medicines.
A typical day
Roseway is a great neighborhood for walks, there should be quality smells to be appreciated by any pup. For dogs experienced with dog parks, there is an off-leash space really close to my place. I work approximately 8-5 remotely, and can slot in walks as needed. If there's a small dog who won't be tempted to dig past/jump over a 4' fence, I could even let them in and out of the backyard as they pleased. I have a kibble puzzle toy that has been a real hit. Greenies on demand.

Pet care experience
We always had a cat or two while I was growing up. Over COVID, I began house/cat/dogsitting for another platform and have really enjoyed it. I'm especially interested in boarding and house sitting, but can make time for drop-ins near Roseway.
Reviews
Second time using Athena and she is just wonderful! My cat is a territorial old man but Athena is the only sitter he’s actually somewhat cuddled with. She respects his space personality which is what really helps him.
Great as always! I love knowing that Opal is well taken care of while I'm away.
Athena is the best! I’m always anxious leaving our babies but felt at ease and very safe leaving them with her. Present, attentive, great constant communication and sent detailed updates that helped me feeling at peace during our trip. She took care of our home and pets with love and respect and we would love to have her hang out with out babies again for sure!
As a pet sitter myself on Rover myself, I was searching for someone who would care for my cat and home the way I do for others. After reviewing Athena’s reviews and seeing how my cat reacted to her at the meet and greet, I felt pretty confident. Wow - my snobby senior boy warmed up to her presence pretty darn quick. After traveling for 30 hours back home, it is honestly such a great feeling that our home and pet (and plants) were very well taken care of. I am thrilled to have found someone I now trust, and will 100% be calling her again on our next trip! Thank you so much Athena!
