Availability
My position as a kennel attendant ended, so I am available on any other day except Tuesdays and Thursdays when I commute to university. On weekdays, I may not be able to provide care until after 8:30 am because I sometimes take my kids to school. On weekends, I can provide care earlier than 8 am if requested or needed. Care information: I can provide walks and drop-ins every day except Tuesdays and Thursdays. House-Sitting information: I am unavailable to provide services in my home, but I am available for house-sitting in your home on weekends. I have taken care of my former professor's 2 dogs in her home while she was away for the weekend, along with her two outside pets of a cat and goat. On weekdays, I can house-sit, but I will be in and out for personal, child, or pet errands. I'd like to note that on weekends, I will need to feed and give potty breaks for my own pets at home, but will return to your pets once finished.

Safety, trust & environment
In my client's home, I treat it with the same respect as I would in my own home. I also make sure to keep it clean and organized as the owner has left it. I don't wish to make my client's uncomfortable, so I will make sure to ask before doing anything that wasn't previously discussed. For house-sitting, I provide basic cleaning before leaving your home (sweeping and mopping the floors).
Information Kaylene R. would like to know about your pet
I am experienced with giving medication, but please let me know before your scheduled visit so that I can be prepared and accommodate you the best that I can.
A typical day
I love to take dogs for a walk around their neighborhood. If my schedule allows, I enjoy taking the dogs to a nearby park to explore and allow for stimulation.

Pet care experience
Thank you for reviewing my profile! My preferred name is Astro, and I am a 23-year-old agricultural business student with a minor in animal science. I am unavailable from 8a-12pm on weekdays, but I am available at any other time to take care of any pets you may have. I have a passion for animals because I enjoy giving them love, just as they give love back to us. This March 2026, I cared for my former professor's 2 dogs, cat, and goat from Friday to Sunday. I make sure to give all animals extra love while their owners are away. If no walks are bought for housesits, I will give one walk per stay, and if my schedule allows, I'll provide additional. I am comfortable with farm animals as well, if you need care and feeding for them. My pet background: I have 2 years of experience as a kennel attendant: sanitizing kennels, taking dogs for walks, feeding, and medicating both dogs and cats. I also have a few months of experience as a vet assistant: restraining animals for vaccines and nail trims. I currently have a 5-year-old chihuahua and a 4-year-old domestic shorthair cat. My chihuahua has seizures and requires a specific feeding and medication schedule, so I can easily adapt to your pets if they have additional needs. Since I was 12, I would adopt rabbits from the flea market and take care of them until I was in high school. I adopted my chihuahua as a one-month-old in 2020, and have been taking care of her ever since. My passion for animals led me to earn my AA in Animal Science, and expanded my interest in caring for farm animals as well. Animals make me happy, and after my kennel attendant job ended, I decided to try Rover out to continue working in the field I enjoy!
