Crazy cat lady (5years on rover)
Pet care experience
Hi my name is Astrid. I have been consistently sitting through Rover since 2017. At this point I pretty much exclusively do cat drop ins, sometimes a small dog is thrown into the mix. I have had cats my whole life as well as a couple dogs and many small animals. I have also done a lot of volunteer work with various cat rescues since I was a child. I am especially good at wrangling cats for nail clippings and I have no problem giving medications (including using needles). I also take care of small animals, my only rules are no live insects or live mice (for feeding). I had a pomeranian mill rescue named Boris for 4 1/2 years who passed away. He had a lot of special needs and he taught me a great deal about patience. He was the love of my life. I now have a south philly stray (cat) named Ripley. I actually found her outside a client's house, she was injured and I decided to rescue her and keep her as my own. She now rules my home and believes that I am her couch. I am reliable, honest, and hard working. I truly love all my fur clients and appreciate my human clients so much for trusting me with the care of their fur babies. I promise to always look after your animals as if they were my own. I also will take weird photos of your pets for fun I am very attentive and will definitely notice if anything is "off" with your pet and will report it to you even if it's minor. A lot of animals get stressed when their humans leave so I know what to look for and how to manage it or determine if it could be a problem.
Reviews
As always, Astrid is the best! Thank you for the hilarious pics of our cats and for taking such good care of them. I always feel really confident leaving my cats when I know Astrid will be hanging with them!
Astrid was so amazing with our big cranky boy. Helped us out last minute and was great as always. Highly recommend.
Thank you for taking care of our cats again! Astrid has been cat sitting for us for several years now. She is reliable, compassionate, attentive, and dedicated to providing excellent care :)
Astrid has now cared for our cats twice. She does a wonderful job and makes us truly feel that our loved ones are well cared for and safe. Thank you!

I am very careful when entering and exiting a home to make sure your animals don't run out the door! I often use my feet when entering haha
Information Astrid A. would like to know about your pet
What are their favorite toys? Do they have any medical issues or behavioral issues I should keep an eye out for? Where do you keep your carpet cleaner? Any special tips to woo them are appreciated
A typical day
I will pamper your animals with all the snuggles they can handle but I also respect their space and boundaries, especially with cats, I understand their love must be earned. I will most likely photoshop ridiculous photos of your pets.

Availability
I have worked mostly part time for Rover. I am currently starting a career as a massage therapist but since I mostly make my own hours it's pretty easy to fit in cat drop ins, especially in the morning and evening.
