Experienced, pet lover sitter

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Astrid. I’m a huge pet lover and would love to take care of yours! There has always been a pet in my home since I was child. While growing up, I cared for dogs and cats of different ages, sizes and breeds. I have fostered animals and worked with dogs and cats from different backgrounds. I currently have a rescue medium-sized Labrador mix that loves company (: ****Pricing and other notes: Currently, I'm only caring for plast clients' pets only. My account is set up like this so the up-to-date availability feature isn't enabled. Please feel free to message me about availability and/or go ahead and sent the booking request with the dates needed. I will do my best to answer within 24 hours. Key pick-up and drop-off - A lock box in your home would be great so you can just let me know the code and I can have access to the key during the visits only. - Another option for people that live in apartment buildings, I can also pick up and drop-off the key from the front desk/concierge if available. - Unfortunately, I am not able to drive to your home only to do a key pickup or drop off. Drop-in visits - If there are other people that will be in your home during the times I do the visits, please let me know in advance. This is helpful so I don't think there is a problem. - Please have your pet's food, treats, bowls, and medicine (if applicable) somewhere where they can be seen and accessed easily. - Fish care: +$5 per visit. This does not include cleaning the fish tank - Watering plants: starting additional price is +$5 per visit. This can vary if there are more than 4 pots - Mail and packages. I am not responsible for any mail or packages sent to your home while you are away. Please have this in mind and make the necessary arrangements. Dog walking - Please let me know how your doggie does around new people. I also need to know if your doggie is friendly with other dogs, people, or kids that we might see during our walk. This is helpful so we don't run into any issues when we go outside. - Please have the leash, collar, and poopy bags ready and in a place where I can see them easily. Boarding - Proof of vaccines, fleas and ticks preventatives are needed. This can be a print out when you bring your pet to my home or you could email or send pictures of the current records. Any pet that stays with me needs to provide this. - For dogs, bring their food, leash, collar, and poopy bags. If your doggie is attached to some toys or blankets, feel free to bring those too. I have many toys, blankets that they can use as well. No need to bring food/water bowls as I have extra. - For cats, bring their food, collar, disposable litter box, litter, poopy bags and carrier. If your kitty has a toy they love, feel free to bring it. No need to bring food/water bowls as I have extra. - The boarding rate per night covers a 24 hour period. If the pick-up time is later than the drop-off time, an extra charge may be incurred. The extended care rates apply for each pet: * 2-8 additional hours: +50% of the nightly rate * 8+ additional hours: +100% of the nightly rate Considering that, the earliest you can drop off/pick up your pet is 7am, and the latest is 9pm. Same-day requests - I do not accept same-day requests. Please let me know as soon as possible when you think you'll need the visits, walks and/or boarding for your pet. Cancellation policy - I have a 7-day cancellation policy. If for some reason you need to cancel and this is done 7 days before noon from the start of the booking, you will be refunded completely. Otherwise, there will be a 50% refund given to your account. Please note that I do not handle payments nor have access to your payment of method. All payments and refund go through the Rover App. I have a very flexible schedule and can provide care and attention to your furry pet companion whenever needed. Pets are my passion and enjoy my time with them (:

Information Astrid N. would like to know about your pet

When you reach out to me, please tell me as much as you can about your pet. This includes if your pet is up-to-date with their vaccines, ticks and fleas preventatives, or if they take medicine, have a special diet, and feeding routine. If there are past and/or current aggressive behaviors, separation anxiety, barking, and if they are fully trained or use pee pads.

A typical day

I live in an apartment building that is close to a park and trails that are very pet friendly. If your pet stays with me, they'll get the chance to see them often. For my dog walking and drop in visits, they'll get tons of rubs, pets, kisses and playtime.
