Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my daily & weekly routine. I generally have availability most days, including weekends, and I plan my schedule around providing dependable, timely care for the pets I’m responsible for. I keep my Rover calendar up to date & only accept bookings I can fully commit to. I build in flexibility for drop-in visits, medication schedules, and check-ins that need to happen at specific times, especially for senior or medical pets. Because I limit the number of bookings I take at once, I’m able to give each pet my full attention, follow care routines carefully, and communicate consistently with pet parents throughout the visit period.

Safety, trust & environment

In a client’s home, I follow all pet parent instructions carefully as long as they’re safe for the pet, and I communicate promptly if I have any questions or concerns. I use safe entry & exit procedures to prevent escapes; confirm doors and windows are secure; and keep food, litter, and medications organized & clearly labeled. I monitor cats closely for changes in appetite, litter box habits, energy, or behavior & provide timely updates if anything seems off. For senior pets or pets with medical needs, I use gentle handling & take the time needed to complete medications & daily care routines safely & comfortably. I maintain a clean environment for cats by refreshing water, scooping litter boxes, and keeping feeding areas tidy. My care is always pet-led, and I provide dependable updates and photos so pet parents feel informed and confident while they’re away.

Great With Meds & Seniors

Pet care experience

TL;DR: Great with meds, puppies & seniors | Smyrna & Metro Atlanta Hi! 👋 I’m Astrid, a reliable, medication-friendly dog sitter in Smyrna and Metro Atlanta specializing in drop-in visits for senior dogs. I cared for my own Pomeranian/Spitz mix from puppyhood through her senior years, so I understand how essential routine, patience, and gentle care are as dogs age. I also regularly dog-sit for a household with up to three dogs at a time (a large Boxer, a small mixed breed, and a Coton de Tulear), which means I’m comfortable managing dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities while making sure each one gets individual attention. WHAT I OFFER DURING DROP-IN VISITS: • Feeding & refreshing water • Potty breaks • Playtime & enrichment (adjusted to energy and mobility levels) • Reinforcing familiar dog commands & routines • Calm, attentive visits for dogs home alone • Care for multi-dog households MEDICATION & SPECIAL CARE EXPERIENCE: • Oral medication administration (pills & liquid) • Multiple daily medications & strict schedules • Pill pockets & pill-hiding techniques • Close attention to routines, behavior changes, and overall comfort I understand that dogs with chronic conditions need more than basic check-ins. They need consistency, patience, and someone who notices small changes. During every drop-in, I focus on keeping your dog comfortable, calm, and on their normal routine while carefully following your instructions & providing clear, dependable updates. I’m generally available most days (including weekends) for drop-in visits & keep my calendar up to date. If you’re searching for a dog sitter in Smyrna or Metro Atlanta (especially for a senior dog or a dog who needs medication), I’d love to meet you & your dog to see if we’re a great fit!

We were so glad to have Astrid (and her family) take care of our 12 year old cat, Lincoln. He is a very active and social guy, so we were incredibly grateful that Astrid could give him the attention and play time he needs. We would definitely have her watch him again!
