Safety, trust & environment

My care will depend on your pet's specific needs. I am always going to provide plenty of love and entertainment, but if your pet has special needs I will always do my best to provide exactly what they need. I have experience caring for animals with special dietary needs and pets who need daily medications on a schedule. I also have experience caring for really anxious dogs.

Information Audra D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I need to be aware of. For example, my dog is extremely skittish with loud noises outside and will attempt to get out of her harness to flee if she's really scared. Because of this, I walk her with a 4 ft lead and keep her close. One of my friend's dogs that I watch sometimes is reactive to other dogs, so I make sure to cross the street or keep my distance if I see someone else out walking their dog. Do not be afraid to leave me a list of personality quirks! Trust me, I am the exact same way when someone is watching my pets. As I mentioned, my own dog can be skittish and I have literally drawn people maps of which streets she's the most confident walking on and which ones to avoid.

A typical day

I will give your pets plenty of attention. I always try to stick to their normal routine as closely as possible. For example: If your dog loves car rides and gets to accompany you on errands a lot, I might specifically make a coffee or snack run while I'm sitting just so they can go with me.

Flexible & Experienced WFH Care

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Audra, a full-time freelance creative and a dedicated pet sitter. Working from home means my schedule is centered around being present for your furry family members. I aim to provide a calm, loving, and stable environment, ensuring your pet feels secure and happy while you're away. I can’t make them not miss you, but I can at least be a fun distraction. I am a quiet person who spends a lot of time reading and working from my laptop, making me the perfect couch buddy for a pet that loves to snuggle. I absolutely adore a velcro animal that wants to be my shadow! I primarily care for cats and small-to-medium-sized dogs, but I am happy to discuss caring for large and giant breed dogs on a case-by-case basis. My Schedule & Your Pet's Routine As a freelancer, I have the wonderful ability to create my own schedule in all areas. This means I'm not tied to my laptop from the typical 9-to-5, and I can easily adapt to your pet's specific needs. Whether they need breakfast at 4 am or medication in the middle of the afternoon, I can be there. Please expect me to be out of the home for at least 4 hours a day to attend to other pet care clients and personal obligations. ⭐ Constant Care Rate: If your pet has separation anxiety or medical needs that prevent them from being left alone for at least 4 hours, I am happy to offer a Constant Care service. This ensures I remain in your home 24 hours a day. This specialized service is available at double my standard house-sitting rate. Please let me know if this is something your pet requires when you send your request! I am confident and experienced in caring for pets with specific medical needs. My skills include: Administering oral medications (pills, liquids) for both cats and dogs. Giving daily injections, such as insulin. Caring for a variety of small animals, including ferrets, chinchillas, and other caged rodents. I look forward to hearing from you and learning all about your wonderful pet(s)!

Audra is amazing! She is responsible, caring, attentive and sent great pics of my dog. I feel she did a great job listening to me and my care requests for my pup (which I really appreciate). I will continue to book with her - and feel quite lucky to have found her!
