Highlights
Pet care experience
One Family at a time 🐾
Every dog is treated like part of our family. Unlike many sitters, we board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, so your pet receives our full attention in a calm, low-stress home environment. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will enjoy plenty of companionship and won’t be left alone for long periods. We welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes and have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs that require daily medications. We’ll keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible—from feeding and walks to playtime, potty breaks, and medications—so you can travel with complete peace of mind. Throughout your dog’s stay, you’ll receive plenty of photo and video updates, so you’ll always know they’re happy, safe, and having a great time with us.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Astrid took excellent care of our special needs senior dog. Our dog is deaf, has arthritis in her hips, has skin allergies and requires medication twice a day — even with all these needs Astrid took special care of Miley. She was also very professional and sent updates daily. We truly appreciate her and would 100% book again with Astrid.
Astrid took wonderful care of our senior pup. She was very responsive, sent lots of photos and he came home happy and not stressed. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for an experience sitter and those with senior dogs.
My baby was super happy to be with them. Constantly showered with love and I got photos everyday.
Astrid was a lifesaver! The dog sitter for my active Aussie Shepard/pitbull mix had a medical emergency and she agreed to watch my Lola on a week’s notice. Lola can be a handful (she is very hyper until she gets used to people and is reactive towards other dogs) but Astrid and her family were so sweet and patient to Lola that she settled in quickly. Astrid provided updates regularly which reassured Lola was well loved. Will definitely hire Astrid again to dog sit Lola since Lola had such a great time!
Kiwi stayed with Astrid and her family for four days, and they took wonderful care of him. Since it was our first time leaving Kiwi behind, it meant a lot to know he was in such a loving and caring home. Their updates and attention gave us peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our trip. I would happily recommend Astrid and Candido to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate sitters for their furry family members.
My dog was so chill when I came to pick her up. She didn't want to leave. I have never seen her so content with someone else. I trust Astrid and her family and thank them from the bottom of my heart for such a good stay. It makes me so comfortable to know my baby is safe with them.

Schedule
I’m a stay-at-home mom with a 12-year old daughter and a 3-year-old son. Our family recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after 14 wonderful years, so I understand that pets are truly family. Because I’m home most of the day, your dog will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and care. We board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, creating a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can feel safe and comfortable. Our fully fenced yard provides a secure place to play, and I’ll follow your dog’s normal routine—including walks, feeding schedules, medications if needed, and plenty of love—so they feel right at home while you’re away.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We’re a dog-friendly family with a secure, fenced backyard where your pup can play, relax, and enjoy plenty of fresh air. With your permission, dogs are welcome on the couch and are treated like part of our family during their stay. My children love animals, so for everyone’s safety, all dogs must be friendly and comfortable around kids, with no history of aggression toward children. We board only one family’s dog(s) at a time, providing a calm, low-stress environment with plenty of individual attention. I provide daily neighborhood walks based on your dog’s routine and needs. Longer walks or hikes are also available for an additional fee. Throughout your dog’s stay, I’ll send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
A typical day
Your dog’s day will include plenty of love, attention, and time to relax. We start with a morning potty break and breakfast (following your feeding schedule), followed by a neighborhood walk. Throughout the day, your pup will have supervised access to our secure, fenced backyard for potty breaks, playtime, or simply relaxing in the sun. Since I’m home most of the day, your dog will have lots of companionship and won’t be left alone for long periods. With your permission, they’re welcome on the couch and treated like part of our family. My children love animals and enjoy spending time with dogs, so your pup will receive plenty of gentle affection and attention. In the evening, we’ll enjoy another walk or playtime before settling in for a relaxing night. Longer walks or hikes are also available for an additional fee.
