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. Here to meet more pets and their favorite humans. I'm especially interested in boarding and house sitting, but can make time for drop-ins and walks on weekdays near Roseway.
Reviews
Athena was super communicative and accommodating with our needs, and was clearly a great animal caretaker! Our dog was immediately comfortable in her home, which doesn’t always happen but is always great to see.
Athena was a dream come true! She responded promptly when we communicated, and I found her to be extremely reliable. She took care of every detail I requested of her with grace and patience, and above all took the best care of my two fur babies (dog and cat) that I could have asked for -- and my pooch was on daily medication, so she had an extra responsibility. She sent me plenty of cute pics of them while I was away, which was awesome as I missed them so much. The house was super clean when I came home, and I would use her again in a heartbeat. I cannot recommend Athena highly enough!
Athena has kindly taken care of my pets several times. She's wonderful. She's thoughtful and caring with animals, keeps in touch with me through my travels, and is always flexible if something unexpected comes up. I always know my pets are in good care with her!
Athena did a stellar job watching my pup while I was away for a week. She's got a great attitude, communicates well, and respected my home. My pup seemed sad to see her go. I recommend her and would have her dog sit for me again.

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.
