Pet care experience
Your young, energetic, and passionate pet-sitter!
Hi, I am Astor. I have taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, train, bathe and groom their pets. I have had Gooda, a Labrador retriever when I was young and recently brought home a Bichon Frise puppy as my own and have been training her since she was 12 weeks old. My 8-month-old puppy is very sociable and calm around other dogs and cats - she has lived with Luna, a 1-year-old Ragdoll; Tony, a 3-year-old english shorthair cat, Toffee, a 3-year-old Manx; Archie, a 4-month-old Maltipoo; Tino, an 11-year-old Bichon Frise ; Otaru, a 3-year-old Shiba Inu ; George an 8-year old bichon; Moana and Juco mix breeds (30-40kg each) ; Ice and Storm (husky mix breeds brother and sister 40kg each), Lola, 10-month old labradoodle (25kg) Otaru, a 2 year-old Shiba Inu and so on. In the first few days I usually isolate my puppy in a crate away from the guests so that they can have some time to get used to each other.

Safety, trust & environment
In my home I give the pets as much attention as possible - I hug my own bichon frise to sleep and she usually falls asleep on my lap. I am very keen on grooming and hygiene. I clean her face every time after she has eaten to remove as much tear stain as possible. In the morning and before bed I wipe the pets' face and paws with non-alcoholic baby wipes to maintain the highest hygiene possible. I also comb their hair at least twice a day, and apply paw balm before bed. I clean their bowls every time before and after eating with a cloth special for pets only. I am also a big fan of nutrition. My pet and the pets I sit can enjoy the highest quality of organic treats besides their nutrition such as strawberries, blueberries, a variety of vegetables, beef, lamb, fish, salmon oil and healthy treats bought from Japan.
Ratings and reviews
Astor is such a lovely and helpful person, and she took amazing care of my dog, Sushi. He absolutely adores her, and it’s clear she treats him with so much love and attention. She kept me updated with lots of pictures, which gave me such peace of mind🥰 They went on a nice walk together, and he even had a sweet little reunion with Maribelle, which made him so happy. I’m so grateful💕thank you so much! 💕🐾
I can’t recommend Astor highly enough. She was amazing Max is a 17 year old cat and just recently been diagnosed with arthritis. We were worried about going away as he’s used to cuddles and is a bit wobbly on his his legs now .Astor was so good with him , sent lots of updates and photos . He looked very happy and give him lots of love . Also she stayed in our house and left it get clean and tidy . Will definitely use again . Thanks again for taking such good care of Max
Astor was brilliant with Nellie. We feel very lucky that she was able to help us out at such short notice - dropping into our house for an hour to play with Nellie and take her into the garden. It was very easy to explain everything to Astor and she kept us updated with photos. I have no hesitation in recommending Astor.
Astor is extremely professional and a 10/10 dog walker! She provided lots of photos and videos and made everything very smooth. Can definitely rely on her as a dog walker.
Astor took great care of our kitten Pie over Christmas, providing lots of photos and videos to reassure us that he was safe and happy. He would love to be looked after her again next time!
Thank you for looking after Millie so well again x

Schedule
Since I work from home full time I am able to take my dogs walk a minimum 3 -4 times per day. I usually wake up early in the morning to take the dog out at 7am; then at lunch time at 1pm; then at 6pm after work; and 11pm before bed.
