Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal rescuer turned pet sitter
I'm a Carnegie Mellon alumnus and Floridian transplant who decided to stay and settle in the Burgh. I've volunteered with animals since I was 14, and up until a year ago, I was running my own rescue. I began pet sitting to help pay vet bills for the strays I took in. I have specialized largely in neonatal and senior care, including administering medicine, facilitating special diets, and offering personalized enrichment (including socialization for ferals). I also fed, rehabilitated, vaccinated, and spayed street dogs while living in Mexico.

Autumn also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

While in a client's home, I'm careful to follow all provided instructions closely and always ask for clarification if I'm unsure. Also, I'm happy to assist with small home tasks like bringing in the mail or watering your plants as needed.
Ratings and reviews
Autumn took excellent care of our senior pup. She followed our directions, kept him on his schedule, and gave him lots of love. Autumn communicated with us, sent us pictures, and was very respectful and responsible in our home. We plan to have Autumn care for our pup again in the very near future.
Autumn was amazing with my puppy! Emmett is definitely a handful and she handled him so well. He is an 11 month old lab and we are deep in adolescence. The daily updates, pictures, and videos were wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone I know that needed help with their pets and will reach out to her again the next time I need a sitter.
Autumn did a great job staying with Mack and Aries again at my house. She has stayed with them multiple times and I highly recommend her!
Everything went great! Autumn was caring and attentive to our cats, and was excellent at communicating with us. Would definitely book again!
Autumn is amazing. My partner and I recently relocated to Pittsburgh with a trip previously planned for overseas. I was worried it would be difficult to find someone to watch our two kids (dogs) for two weeks, but Autumn was there for the rescue. She took amazing care of Butters our senior pup with limited mobility, as well as our younger pup Maeve. Autumn provided updates with photos to make sure that we were well informed while away. She also would reach out to clarify the laundry list of things they need, which I find comforting to know that she is going to make sure everything is going perfect. Our place was clean when we returned and everything looked just as we left it. I will be reaching out to Autumn in the future and recommend her to any parent.
Elsa enjoyed her time with Autumn! She sent a tone of updates and photos during her stay. I would recommend Autumn and hope to use her again soon!
