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.

About Astrid P.
Communication
Skills
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!

Reviews
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!
