Pet care experience

Pet CPR & First Aid, High-Needs Pro

Hi, we are Astra & Alex! We offer premium pet care that goes far beyond the basics—because your pets deserve the best. I am certified in pet first aid, CPR, and senior pet care, and I bring over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, temperaments, and needs. Whether it’s a puppy full of energy or a senior dog needing extra patience, I’m equipped to handle emergencies and provide consistent, attentive care for pets who need a little extra. I offer drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, all with the same focus on safety, communication, and genuine love for your pet. You’ll receive regular photo updates, detailed messages, and responsive communication so you always know your pet is safe and happy. The advertised rate reflects basic house sitting care, which includes: • 8 hours overnight • 4–6 hours of care during the day If you’d like extended care: • 7–8 daytime hours (plus overnight) — add $15/day • Around-the-clock care — add $30/day Yes, my rates may be higher—but they reflect the time, expertise, and quality of care I bring to each visit. Your pet isn’t just being “watched”—they’re being cared for like family. When you book with me, you’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re choosing peace of mind.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on routine, comfort, and trust. I keep your pet's schedule consistent—whether that means feeding at specific times, walks at the same hour each day, or snuggling up on the couch just like they’re used to. For house sitting, I’m in your home for at least 16 hours a day, providing: Potty breaks every 4 hours Two 30-minute walks and active play sessions An overnight stay (8 hours minimum) Meals, fresh water, medication (if needed), and clean-up Tons of love, companionship, and photo updates for you For drop-in visits, I focus on purposeful care—feeding, potty breaks, medication, enrichment, and snuggles. I take time to bond, not just rush in and out. For walks, I tailor the pace to your dog’s energy level. Whether they love a long sniffari or a fast-paced walk, I make sure they get exercise and mental stimulation.

Astra has done a great job with our little Archie. It's wonderful to know that he is in good hands! We are very grateful.

Really appreciate both Astra & Alexander in watching Oro on late notice. Took great care of him, keeping him happy and tired him out! Definitely will consider them in the future!

After being presented with multiple chances to tend to a range of animals, it became clear that this line of work ignites my enthusiasm. I do this full-time. I respond to all messages between the hours of 8AM-8PM Monday-Friday.
