Reliable, Friendly Dog/Cat Sitter!
Pet care experience
Hello! I'm a 35 year old, happily married, working professional who happens to love animals. I've lived in Oregon, Colorado, Arkansas, and am now happily settled in Arlington with my husband and 2 adorable Yorkie mixes adopted from the Humane Rescue Alliance. I've grown up with dogs my entire life, and learned from an early age what it means to care for, appreciate, and show compassion towards all animals. I have experience with a wide-range of breeds, including Dalmatians, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Poodles, Schnauzers, Shih tzus, Yorkshire terriers, Papillions, and mixed breeds (large and small) among many others. Each dog has its own unique personality, and it's always fun to uncover and cultivate that as time goes on! My own pups adore long walks, so I'm comfortable with leash etiquette, encounters with other dogs, and waste clean-up; I always exercise vigilance when it comes to my surroundings and potential hazards to the dogs and myself. Overall, I am well versed in all facets of dog and cat care to include administering medicine (oral and shots) for dogs and cats, following specific instructions to the letter, and giving senior dogs and cats extra TLC. I'm constantly referred to as reliable, friendly, trustworthy, and with a hefty dose of common sense! Whether stopping by for a walk and play-time or staying for an extended visit, I'll treat your pets like I treat my own--as family. I've been WFH during the pandemic which provides more flexibility for walks and check-ins during the day. I look forward to meeting you and your furbabies!

Audrey did drop-in visits for my two cats while I had to go out of town for 9 days. This was the longest we have ever left them which I was pretty bummed about, but we felt very comfortable leaving them in the care of Audrey. She did a quick meet & greet visit where she learned about their needs/care and got to see their personalities. She was very professional and thorough in the questions she asked. While we were away she took the best care of them! She sent us updates with each visit & sweet photos of each of them! We will definitely be booking her in the future for our cat care needs.
Reliable, consistent, and kind. Thank you, Audrey.
Audrey is a pleasure to have as a pet sitter. Her care of my two cats, one of which is diabetic and needs shots, provides me with worry free vacations. Audrey cares for my pets as though they were her own. Recently, during our heavy rains, she offered to check the house for potential water leakage. I am a repeat customer and I highly recommend her.
Audrey loves our cats as much as we do. We can't thank her enough. We get great pictures and the cats always go to her as soon as she comes in the door to pickup or drop off the key. Our daughters worry when we go on trips if the cats will start to like her more (which is possible!). She's on-time, reliable, and a really nice sweet person. She's totally ok with special instructions too. We love Audrey.
