B.S.Animal Sciences, Conc. Behavior

Pet care experience

Starting as a kid walking dogs and bringing home strays, then later studying Animal Sciences (conc. behavior & wellbeing) at Purdue, animals have always been at the center of my life. At Purdue, I became a Pet Trainer at PetSmart and interned with ICAN to train service dogs. My husband and I even raised a future service dog for Paws For A Cause 2017 - 2018. I walked & cared for pets through Rover from 2018 - 2019. Additionally, in 2021 I interned at a grooming salon, learning the basics of proper bathing, drying, nail care, sanitary & pad trimming, and a few basic cuts. I also have 4 years experience evaluating animal welfare on dairy farms & 2 years managing dairy cattle “FitBit” systems (not dogs, but animal behavior & welfare nonetheless!). My Pet Care business is my primary focus. This allows my schedule to be flexible for whatever time of day your pup may need me. However, this does restricts my availability for overnight stays some. Available to visit any time of day - or night! - your pet may need me. I offer walks, play time, or simply snuggles on the couch ♥️ I also have the ability to give your furry family member a professional-grade bath & blowout, ear care, nail trim, paw pad/sanitary trim. For more nervous clients, I offer aromatherapy, pet CBD treats, or some simple “tummy time” (belly rubs with the dog on their back in your lap; very calming; used in a lot of training programs to get dogs used to being handled)

Autumn was wonderful with my kitties while I went on a cruise! I got lots of pictures and my kitties got lots of love while I was away. Will definitely be using her for future trips! Seriously wonderful service and super helpful. Love it!

I hired Autumn for drop in visits for 2 cats and a senior diabetic dog. She fed everyone, gave Pepper his insulin shot and let him out. And she sent pictures every day. I am very pleased with the care she provided my pets. I would hire her again!

Information Autumn D. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds and sizes - no breed discrimination here :) Does your doggo enjoy cuddles or are they more passionate about fetch? Belly rubs or butt scratches? Of course if pupper is in my care, I'd like to know all the typicals: feeding/potty schedule, quirks, emergency contacts, other rules

A typical day

When house-sitting, I start the day with breakfast and some attention - whether that’s a walk or cuddles on the couch, depending on the dog. I may have to leave for a couple hours in the morning and afternoon to care for other pets, but I will return frequently and spend some quality time with your pet. In the evening, we go for another walk or playtime before dinner before finishing the day with some quiet time and pets.
