Experienced professional with pro cuddles!
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Athene, I am an experienced animal carer. I have years of experience working with puppies, nervous and reactive dogs. I am trained in many aspects of veterinary care including administering medications, handling dogs with different needs and tolerances, canine behaviour and much more. I hold an up-to-date full canine first aid certificate. I first began my career with dogs, about 2-1/2 years ago, where I was working directly with a broad variety of dog breeds from Chihuahua to Leonbergers , with a vast variety of needs; including human and dog reactive dogs. From this experience I have learnt the behaviour within dogs. I am able to provide the dog what it needs by reading its body language the best that I can. My work experience has taught me that every animal has its own level of tolerance, and I believe allowing the dog to feel safe and comfortable- is first and foremost. If they want cuddles, they will ask... and of course I will be there to welcome them with open arms! I have my own dog, his name is Shadow. He is 2 year old neutered mixed breed whom is a dog loving bundle of love. (Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have about him!). Within my house, I have a small sized, completely secure garden, which your dog will have access to. If your were to board your dog with me, overnight I would have your dog sleep in my bedroom with me, and have my dog sleep in the living room (he always sleeps in the living room, so this wont be new to him). This way I can keep a close eye on your dog, and means they are separated at night. I am very luckily to live in a beautiful area of South Yorkshire. I am surrounded by river walks, walking field paths and all-round nature which I thoroughly enjoy walking and the dogs LOVE IT! As mentioned I am able to administer medications, so even if you have a fussy pup, I have been trained on how to administer medication safely and effectively. Please feel free to drop me a message should you have any queries at all. It's important to find a sitter than its right for your pet, and also right for me! So please do not hesitate to ask!
Reviews
Eccles has a lovely stay with Athene. Communication was great and received lots of updates and photo’s throughout the stay. Athene has 2 dogs herself who are really friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend Athene!
I certainly hit the jackpot when I found Athene. She was absolutely amazing, she came & met me prior to the booking, asked loads of questions & when we took them out for a walk both my dogs responded to her immediately when she called them. I received photos, videos & messages on a daily basis I had said she was more than welcome to have friends round but she would still always contact me to make sure it was okay. Upon returning home the house was spotless & she had even stripped, washed and dried her bedding & towels. I would absolutely recommend Athene & will 100% be rebooking her when we next go away.
Athene was great! Would highly recommend. She was very dependable and reliable. Athene also noticed a skin rash on Ivy which was very observant of her and offered to take her to the vet which is really going above and beyond. We loved the pictures she took and we will certainly use her again without hesitation!
Delighted to have found Athene. Used her for a drop in service for my two Romanian Rescues. Highly recommend and will certainly rebook in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
If your dog is to stay with me, whether that be daycare or boarding, safety is always first. Your dog will always be feed separately from mine, including medications. Walks can also be separate, should that be necessary and/or at your request. Your pets requirements, should be communicated between you and I to ensure your pets has the best and most comfortable time! Your dogs well-being and safety will be the top priority, every-time without question. I have enzymatic urine cleaner after every stay, to eliminate any smell of any previous dog urine should there be any. I have two medium/large dog beds, including a medium sized crate should your dog need. If you have any special requirements please do not hesitate to ask, and if I can accommodate- I will!

A typical day
I like to walk first thing in the morning, down a lovely walking path near my home. There are no cars here, a little river with a hump back bridge and a field for the dogs to have a play about on. At lunch time the dogs love to go to the Woods, which is a short 5 minute drive away from my home. This walk is full of explorative areas and scents. I always have a couple balls, and tug toy for these walks.
