Pet care experience

Communicative, reliable, caring

Growing up, I adored the family cat and dog, and was responsible for their care throughout my teen years. Cuddles and Fidget were a bonded pair who lived long, happy lives and passed within months of each other in 2020 while I was in lockdown abroad (I’m so not over it). As an adult renter, circumstances have not yet allowed me to have a dog or cat of my own. I turned to pet sitting as a way to continue connecting with these precious creatures who have so much to teach us about stillness, acceptance and the art of living in the moment. I also love reptile friends such as snakes and geckos!

Safety, trust & environment

I watch pets in their own home where they feel safest and can continue their routines as uninterrupted as possible during their primary caregivers absence. I talk to them and interact with them like they are my close friends - they get to know all my secrets! Having written instructions to refer back to during the stay, which are discussed beforehand with an opportunity for questions and clarification, is extremely helpful in understanding how to provide the best care possible. Let’s schedule a time to meet and help me understand what your pet’s needs, temperament and routines are!

Autumn did great with our high maintenance dog Lucy! She shared several pictures and left our home tidy and clean.

Autumn stayed over night with our dog, Melvin. She was very responsive and easy to work with. She provided great updates about Melvin and left our place neat and tidy. Thank you!

It was so nice to see all the photos Autumn sent of Greyson. She went above and beyond and provided great care for him while I was away.

It was so nice knowing that Autumn was with Greyson while I was away. She took care of things and was thoughtful in sending pictures of Greyson. He appeared to be acting normal and not hiding away like I thought he might. So glad to have Autumn’s care.

I like to have all their care needs laid out in writing so that I am able to refer to them step by step so as to not miss anything. If there’s anything at all you feel I should know about your pet, please discuss this with me.
