Astrid is fantastic. She’s kind, knowledgeable, and was incredibly accommodating when I needed several visits in one day. My dog loved her right away, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing she is being cared for so well. Highly recommend!

My dog Scout has been staying overnight with Astrid when I travel for over 2 years now. Scout is an 8-year-old rescue border collie/pit mix. He doesn't get along with other dogs, doesn't like to be left alone for long periods, and can be hesitant to go on walks, so he can be complicated. But Scout LOVES going to Aunty Astrid's and is always relaxed and happy when we pick him up. Astrid is communicative, attentive to his likes and dislikes, and is a clear natural with dogs. She makes me feel at ease whenever I leave him because I know he is in good hands!

Astrid has been a wonderful sitter for our dog Ellie. Our dog in particular requires special care due to her reactivity, and Astrid has been more than accommodating. I would highly recommend Astrid for any pet

Astrid has been a dog sitter for my business and is beloved by everyone. She is thoughtful, responsible, responsive, and fully invested in providing excellent customer service. My own dog loves hanging out with her. Having Astrid work with me has been a godsend!

Astrid has been a conscientious and loving caretaker for my sweet River Boy. He loves to go on walks and Astrid is super reliable and always concerned with my dog's needs. River loves staying with Astrid, too!

Safety, trust & environment

I can provide overnight pet sitting service in my home or a client's home. For overnights, I would be available 6pm to 6am at a minimum. I love to take outdoor walks and/or park visits, but not dog parks. Daytime services available depending on schedule.

A typical day

My first goal is to privide safety and security to any pup who may be missing his/her family. Regular routine and as many cuddles as required... providing energy burners (walks/play time) at available intervals can also to balance a dog's energy and keep him/her happy. If a dog is super comfortable, I can also add some basic training practice (after discussion with owner to be consistent with any regular training).
