I am on disability, so I am available any day of the week, and at any time of the day unless I have doctor's appointments! Would love these times to spend with fur babies, and to help pay my bills in the process.

Safety, trust & environment

I am extremely meticulous about following directions, and always love it when there's notes or lists left for me to follow. I love everybody's fur babies as if they are my own. After the loss of my Yoda in 2019 from cancer, and the loss of my Fizgig in 2021 from old age, I was told that I still have so much love left to give. I originally started doing this to honor Yoda and promised I would help care for any fur babies the best I could since there was nothing I could do to save him. I would do my best to care for yours the way you specify, and would shower them with so much love!

Information Astra P. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but I would need to know their usual demeanor, and if anything makes them temperamental. I am excellent at following directions, so if there are any special or specific requirements I would follow them exactly as told.

A typical day

They would enjoy lots of cuddles. I do have several parks around where I live that I could take them for walks at. If they would not be walked. I would brush them if a brush is available, and make use of any of their favorite toys.

Pets

I love taking care of pets.

Pet care experience

I have always had cats in my house. When friends and family leave town for any period of time, I am the one that watches their dogs and cats while they are gone. I love every animal I come across and always treat them as if they were my own because they are all precious family members. Always willing to learn anything new regarding caring for anybody's pets. I have extensive experience caring for senior babies from helping family to my most recent late Fizgig whom was almost 19 years old when she passed. I'm usually available at the spur of the moment too in case an emergency comes up and you need someone immediately. For the longest time I have wanted to open an animal sanctuary. I would take in any rescues I possibly could, I would more focus on taking in senior pets that have been abandoned in shelters, any pets that I could take in that would be on the euthanasia lists at shelters, because no animal deserves to leave this world feeling unloved.

Astra was the perfect fit to watch our dog for our overnight get away. She kept us well informed with updates and photos. Pazzo took to her immediately, which was easily seen in the photos. We didn't appear missed one second. The true sign of the right sitter. We look forward to using Astra again.

Thanks for the hard work and additional efforts on taking care of my pets. It's nice to return to Happy faces and no surprises. Your daily notes kept me well informed and we were able to relax during our vacation without worrying about our fur babies and our house. We appreciate you :)
