Loves senior and special needs pets

Pet care experience

I have 4 dogs of my own - all senior rescues with their own unique personalities. I’ve cared for young, energetic pups, senior dogs with complex medical needs, and doggos with reactivity and behavioral issues. Between my dogs and working in healthcare, I feel comfortable administering medications and accommodating any mobility needs. I understand that each dog is special and always listen to the owners to ensure proper, loving care. While you’re busy working or on vacation, I’ll keep your pet company and send you pictures and videos of us playing with their favorite toys or snuggling on the couch. With nearly a decade of experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and temperaments, I’m confident in my ability to care for your pets. For added safety and comfort, I am also equipped and familiar with the Pet First Aid App from the American Red Cross.

Athenie is amazing! Not only is she kind, super responsive, responsible, and trustworthy, she's super cool and fun to talk to! She immediately understood our needs and was super flexible. Our dog loved her from the minute she stepped into our home. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Athenie for loving and caring for our furry family member as much as we do! You're our go to for sure!

Athenie was so great! Definitely recommend. She came the day before for a meet and greet since I was nervous to just have someone come to my house without meeting my dogs first. She great communication and is super sweet. I have 2 American bully’s and am very selective with who can care for them. I definitely felt confident with her! Even sent me photos through service !! I would give her more than 5 stars if I could !

Athenie is a close friend whom I trust with all my pets. She has previously pet sat my cat and dog and they love her. When I use her services, I know that my animals are taken care of by the best. I've witnessed her care for dogs of all sizes with confidence. Athenie doesn't hesitate to show the pets the love they deserve! I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter/walker.

Athenie has always provided the most loving care for my dog, who has issues with separation anxiety. Athenie always makes her feel safe and I know I never have to worry when they’re together. She’s great at meeting all of Edith’s needs, is patient with her, and keeps me updated with how they are doing. She provides a home away from home for her anytime they’re together!
