Reviews
Audrey did a fantastic job taking care of my pets and home for two weeks under difficult circumstances! My young 120 lb Bernese Mt. Dog was not used to strangers in his home and was a little growly at their introduction. But she handled him perfectly and soon they were friends. He had also just been diagnosed with a seizure disorder and needed multiple pills three times a day, as well as a calm environment, or more seizures were likely to occur. In addition, I have a second dog with anxiety issues that needed his own medication and a lot of supervision. Her confidence in her abilities, the way she interacted with the dogs, and the fact that she asked all the right questions really put me at ease. So I went on my trip, enjoyed the photo updates she sent, and came home to happy and healthy dogs. (The fish and plants were alive and well too.) I've hired many pet sitters over the years and none were as good as Audrey. She is easy to communicate with, co-operative, and very responsible. I would absolutely hire her again.
Audrey has a delightful personality and a calming way with my pup. I will be using her often for walks and care.
Audrey was incredible! This was our first time using Rover and she made the whole experience feel super easy. She’s trustworthy, caring, experienced, and communicative.
Audrey is the best! She takes wonderful care of our pets and our home.

Safety, trust & environment
I fully adapt to the needs and preferences of each family. Regardless, I treat them as if they were my own and provide a loving, caring environment. I also care for the home, cleaning up after myself and your pets so you come home to a house in the same or better condition that you left it.
Information Audrey M. would like to know about your pet
I always ask if they have any medical issues, medications, allergies, sleep preferences ,or fears. It’s also important to know how they need to be walked. For example, should I cross the street if a dog or child comes near. It’s also great to know what their favorite things are (favorite snack, dog park, way to play, etc.). This is all covered during our meet and greet.
A typical day
Each day is designed to mirror what each individual family likes best, which we go over during our meet and greet. Some may start their day with a 30 minute walk, medication and observation, and breakfast, while for others it’s quick trip the backyard followed by a big bowl of food and a walk around noon. It’s all based on what works best for your pet or pets. By adapting to their needs and preferences, we all tend to have the best time and caring for them becomes a breeze.

I am fortunate to work remotely most days so I can be in the house caring for the pets even if it’s during a work day, making walking lunches and breaks a breeze.
