Pet care experience
Pup’s Dream Huge Fenced Yard! 🐾❤️
I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a natural and important part of my life. To me, pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. We have a large fenced in backyard where pets can safely run off leash. We also have spacious playroom for indoor fun and stimulating activities. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m also experienced with administering medications when needed. Most of all, I love playing, spending time, and keeping pets happy and comfortable while their families are away. 🐾❤️

Ratings and reviews
The dog enjoyed this provider. Her yard is nirvana for any dog.
My nervous dog did very well at Aster’s - she looked cozy in all the pictures and videos Aster sent! And the backyard really is a dog’s dream!! Thank you, Aster, for taking such good care of my girl :))
Huge thank‑you to Aster for taking amazing care of our senior girl. As she gets older, leaving her is never easy, the photo updates showing her mingling, napping, and getting plenty of petting on her pupcation gave us total peace of mind. Seeing her relaxed, happy, and so well cared for meant everything to us. Thank you for taking such good care of our big girl. We appreciate it so much!
Aster took care of our dog Prince, a Labradoodle; 10 years of age. He stayed with her for eight days and I don’t think we could have found a better place for him to stay while we were away. She has an amazing caring personality, and took wonderful care of our dog. She also has a large well kept fenced backyard where dogs can play and mingle with other play mates. She gave Prince regular walks along with playtime in her back yard. She kept us abreast of Prince’s activities and proactively managed his schedules and quirks. She kept Prince like her own. We were initially anxious about keeping Prince with someone we didn’t know before, but she did an outstanding job of taking care of not only Prince and also us. We are so grateful to have found her for boarding of our Prince. We will highly recommend her to our friends and family. We will be using her caring services in future.
My 14 month old lab mix recently stayed with Aster and had the best time! Aster is kind, communicative, and really cares about dogs. I could tell from her daily pics and videos that my pup was having just as great of a vacation as I was. I'd highly recommend Aster to anyone, and look forward to using her services again!
Aster was everything we could have wanted and more in a dog sitter for our baby! She was so accommodating with our last minute need and made us feel so comfortable leaving Cota with her! She sent lots of pictures and videos and you could see how happy Cota was. Would highly recommend!

Schedule
My schedule is flexible because I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and playtime they need. I have a huge fenced yard where pets can safely run around and play, and I also have a chocolate lab who enjoys having a companion. I’m able to provide a fun, caring, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision and one-on-one attention. 🐾 Note on Dog-Walking; I book dog walking in flexible 2-week blocks that can be easily renewed as we go!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My home has a huge, secure, fenced yard where your fur baby can enjoy outdoor time and play safely. I also have a friendly chocolate Lab who can provide companionship and playtime. I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, so I follow your instructions carefully and prioritize their safety at all times. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and provide attentive, dependable care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 Important Dog-Friendly Requirements: I have a wonderful, high-energy chocolate lab who loves to play but can overwhelm or clash with certain personalities. For the safety and comfort of everyone in my home, I do not board powerful, guard, or bully breeds (including Pit Bulls, Staffies, Rottweilers, or Mastiffs). My lab does best matching energies with sporting, herding, or highly social companion breeds. Thank you for understanding!
Pets
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We’ll play a bunch of games, run in the yard, and check out new smells in my neighborhood. When they’re exhausted from a fun-filled day, we’ll just chill in front of the TV and give them a belly rub.

- Let me know if your dog has special needs and behaviors that I can account for. I want to make sure they are safe and comfortable at my place. I would also like to know the different commands and words that your dog knows to help properly communicate with them.
