Information Autumn J. would like to know about your pet

⚠️⛔IMPORTANT!! Do you have your pet care instructions detailed on your profile? Are they up to date? Price is per pet, please list each one in need of care. This also ensures they are all insured. If pricing seems steep or wrong, please let me know! I'm flexible within reason. ⛔⚠️ Some helpful info for me: What does your pet's normal daily routine consist of? What are they used to? -list of special dietary needs/preferences; i.e. medications or ongoing medical conditions, allergies. Can I give your dog treats? -Triggers (thunderstorms, vacuums, alarms, guys in hats, kids, etc) and special quirks that are normal for them. -Trained commands/command words. Ex. Roll over, fetch!, sit, leave it, go potty, etc. -Any behavioral problems (ie. Chewing shoes, peeing in the house, aggressive tendencies, if they have ever bitten anyone and why, etc.) and how to address them. ***Please ensure your pet has both a collar and updated tags before being left in my care!!! This is not a full deal breaker if they have a chip but I strongly encourage it. ***If your dog is large/strong and pulls heavily on leash (if they are walking me instead) it's a deal breaker. ***If you are requesting boarding, I do not accept dogs who are loud or destructive when left alone, or not well potty trained. ***I am happy to take care of your larger, well-behaved pups; with that said, I am 100lbs and 5ft short, so I can't accept any large animals who are difficult when walking for their safety and others. ***I MUST be forewarned of any aggressive behaviors/triggers for everyone's safety.***

A typical day

We go for walks, hikes, play fetch, play with toys, run, visit the dog park. If your pup loves water we can even go swimming!

Pet care experience

⚠️ I am available for walks, overnight care, and in home sitting. I usually work ~8hr shifts that start from 7/8 am on Saturday thru Tuesday and cannot leave during those shifts as I am a lead. ⚠️ If you have questions, reach out and we can discuss if I am the right fit for you and your pets. -I really enjoy interacting with all of your furry, feathery, and scaley friends! -I have experience with elderly pets/medications. Comfortable with injections etc. -I am reliable, responsible, passionate, and energetic. Very clean and respectful during in home stays. -Every booking will recieve frequent text and photo updates, according to your preferences and needs. - My partner and I absolutely love taking dogs camping, hiking, swimming, etc. I started Rover in my spare time in 2019. Growing up, my pets included a Pit Bull, German Shepherd, Chihuahua, Rotweiller/Lab mix and a variety of cats including a gorgeous Maine Coon. We regularly had multiple cats/dogs in our household. My sister and I had guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, snakes, fish, a flying squirrel... Animals I have helped care for ranges from a squirrel, ferrets, rabbits, snakes, hamsters, fish, bearded dragons, birds, lizards, turtles,etc. I even loved to help with neighbors horses and farm animals when growing up in my home state. I have a passion for photography, so you may get some decent phone pictures!

Autumn did a great job housesitting for our 2 cats and dog! We returned and our home was cleaned up and looked like we left it, but cleaner! She took our dog to the dog park regularly and got our shy cats to get all snuggly with her. She provided great feedback the whole time and lots of pictures which we really appreciated! I will be using Autumn in the future when able and would highly recommend!

My family, including my cat, Mia, HIGHLY recommend Autumn (aka AJ) to other pet moms and dads. AJ was reliable, attentive, and communicative. AJ also showered us with pics of Mia while we were away and that made us feel confident she was being loved and cared-for. AJ is now our go-to Mia sitter when we're traveling.

Autumn did an amazing job caring for my two pups in my home while I was gone for a week. She gave me frequent updates, lots of photos and even took the dogs on some fun adventures. I would definitely have her stay with them again.
