Pet care experience
Come walk with me, Audrey B! I live in Western MA and provide reliable pet services for all your furry, feather, and scaled friends in the home. My 1st job at the age of 13 was dog sitting for neighbors and I have not stopped since. AVAILABILITY (updated: August 2023) Monday-Friday: Before 8:00AM and After 4:00PM Weekends: Most but sporadic (See calendar) ***New*** I will no longer be offering recurring services on weekends. Provide walking, drop-in, occasional day time house sitting, and short term overnight house sitting services in the towns of Greenfield, Deerfield, Whately, Sunderland, Shelburne, Colrain, Conway, Leyden, Bernardston, Gill, Erving, Northfield, Montague, and Erving. NOTE: ***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS IN GREENFIELD ON WEEKDAYS AND SURROUNDING TOWNS ON WEEKENDS*** Your pets will be in great hands for I am also Pet CPR/First Aid certified through the Red Cross. I have been on Rover for over 5 years and have many years of experience under my belt before that. Therefore, I can give your pet the most enrichment out of our time together while providing them a safe environment. I am young and fit enough to handle energetic pets. I competitively ran on my high school and college cross country and track teams and continue to train competitively to this day. Not only do I have a great deal of experience with a wide variety of pets but also a good bit of educational knowledge. I gained my knowledge of animal behavior through my studies in college focusing my Biology electives on anything animal related. I have years of animal care experience including volunteering at animal shelters (Westfield Regional Animal Shelter Westfield MA), humane societies (Portsmouth Humane Society Portsmouth VA), animal rehabs (Possumwood Acres Wildlife Sanctuary Hubert NC) as well as at a zoo (Zoo in Forest Park in Springfield MA). When you are supporting me as a pet walker you are also supporting local animal shelters, for every walk I complete donates money to the Franklin County Regional Dog Shelter in Turners Falls Mass and In Honey's Memory in Huntington Mass. [Note: The below donation program ended through Rover in January of 2021 however I will be on the look out if they bring it back] As of March 2020 I am also donating a percentage of ALL my earnings from every service I provide to Freedom Service for Dogs of America, a nonprofit that trains service dogs for people in need. I do require a first meeting in person for the comfort and safety of myself, yourself, and your pets. Please have answers and comments to below questions before meet and greet. Here is to future meetings! :)
Reviews
Audrey’s the best! And our cat loves her.
Audrey was great to work with and clearly very experienced. Will definitely book again!
So happy to have found Audrey, her communication, attention to detail and care was just fantastic. Looking forward to booking again!
Audrey took great care of our cat! She was easy to communicate with and she provided detailed updates while we were away. Our cat requires oral medication which Audrey had no problem doing.
