Bringing a smile to dogs

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs of any kind and size before I even got my first dog. I have 3 dogs of my own but not in London as I am a student here (a Labrador, a golden retriever and a maltipoo). I do not have a set schedule as I work both in person and online so hours may vary but I am happy to discuss with the owners. As I live in an apartment I prefer welcoming small dogs to respect the neighbors and I have space to play with them. However, I am happy to walk all kinds of dogs.

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting Athina with the care of my dog, Barnie, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. Athina is not just a pet caregiver; she's a true animal lover with a genuine passion for their well-being. From the moment Athina stepped into my home to meet Barnie, her warmth and enthusiasm put both me and Barnie at ease. Her responsible and caring nature was immediately evident, and it was clear that she truly enjoys spending time with animals. Athina took the time to understand the unique needs and preferences of Barnie, ensuring that he received personalized attention and care. Throughout the pet-sitting period, Athina consistently went above and beyond my expectations. She adhered to feeding schedules, administered medications when needed, and provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which brought me great peace of mind. It was evident that Barnie was not just receiving the basic necessities, but he was also receiving genuine affection and companionship. I wholeheartedly recommend Athina to anyone seeking a responsible and loving pet caregiver. Her passion for animals, coupled with her reliability and attention to detail, make her an exceptional choice for anyone in need of top-notch pet care. Athina truly exceeded my expectations, and I am grateful to have found such a wonderful caregiver for my furry family member.

Athina was absolutely amazing with Lanta, she was very patient with her and kept us updated of everything Lanta was doing, sent us some lovely pictures too. We will definitely contact Athina again to look after our lovely dog. Very recommended

Having known her for the past 16 years, Athina is the most caring, trustworthy and responsible person! Athina is experienced with dog care as she has 3 lovely dogs and therefore she is very prepared to handle anything and treat them with patience and joy. If I ever had to choose a person to look after my dog it would be her and I definitely recommend everyone to use her services and give their dog some good time!

Athina is very good with dogs, she owns three and she is very caring and loving towards them! She spends a lot of her time taking care of her dogs, she takes them out for long walks in the mountain and beach! She even has an instagram account dedicated to her dogs! I personally have 4 dogs and Athina has spent time with all of them and she is very good with them ! She is the most capable person to take care any kind of dog!!!!

Information Athina S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the age, size, what they like (a chill walk around the park / a more energetic one / a run / toys). For dog sitting, I would like to know whether the dog is generally quiet, if they are comfortable with staying alone for some time (how many hours), if they are nervous with other dogs or people.

A typical day

I love to run with dogs and play with them using balls and other toys of their preference. I engage in these activities myself so the dog will have a friend and not just a sitter! I live very close to Hyde park which is the perfect place for a dog walk.
