Enhanced background check

Pet care experience

Wide experience, wide availability

I am a life-long animal girl! I have experience with dogs, cats, bunnies, hamsters, and even donkeys so I can care for an array of animals and I'm excited to learn how to care for more! Outside of work, I foster dogs and cats from the animal shelter and host supply drives (the cutest litter of foster kittens are in my photo gallery). I am attentive to very specific instruction and will adhere to any details given. I happily provide updates with each visit, and most of them include fun pictures. I can care for multiple animals (and plants) in the house if you have a lot of critters! I have dogs, cats, bunnies, and very needy plants so I understand how it is to find someone able to cover all the bases :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

For both my and the pets safety, I like to have an initial meeting to discuss their pets' behaviors, the care required, and to introduce myself! This way I am aware of the precautions needed to ensure the safety of the pet and myself, and I am not a complete stranger to them when I enter. I understand pet boundaries and am capable of caring for special needs pets when provided with instructions. I'm also very respectful of the homes I enter and will be responsive via cell if you need to reach me. I have my own vehicle and valid drivers license to transport safely to a vet's office if needed.

Athens did an absolutely amazing job watching my dogs. From the moment we met, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive she was. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time, and I had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Athens kept me updated and treated my dogs like her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend Athens to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.

Athens was wonderful walking my doggy. She was very attentive, professional, and gave a thorough update! I can tell my doggy had a good time and felt safe/relaxed.
