Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Autumn and I fall in love too easily (with every dog I meet). Ever since my family adopted our first dog when I was age 9, I have been developing strong bonds with dogs and have always continued learning how to care for them in the best way possible. Each dog I meet has taught me something valuable and will always hold a place in my heart. I have experienced every doggy life stage - from adventurous puppyhood to sweet retirement, and everything in between. Through these experiences, I have gained knowledge on training puppies and adult dogs, caring for dogs experiencing illness and injury, and learned how dogs like to communicate with people to indicate their needs. My previous experience comes from taking care of family and friends dogs, with direct references growing from there. Additionally, in 2022 my partner and I rescued a four-year-old labradoodle with chronic ear infections and separation anxiety, who weighed 103lbs. After just two months, Chase weighed 85lbs and became a healthy, well-adjusted good boy. I believe that no dog is too big or too small, or too young or too old, to receive the best care and the most attention that we are able to provide.
Reviews
Laila had a great day here with Autumn and her dog Chase. She got lots of play time and was taken for a walk. I got many photo updates throughout the day. Looking forward to our next daycare day at Autumn's!
Jettson had the best day at Autumn’s home, he came home happy and tired from a day filled with fun and attention. She was great at sending updates on how he was doing throughout the day. We will definitely be using her services again. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you again Autumn!

Chase has been described by family and friends as a very lucky boy. I just think that he deserves the same care and attention as humans do. We start each day with cuddles and belly rubs, followed by breakfast and a good amount of time to sniff in the backyard. We always wait two hours after eating before exercising. During the day, we go for a big walk, or several smaller walks. We always take the time to sunbathe, enjoy enrichment activities, and get lots of cuddles and pets on the couch or the floor. We do all of our grooming at home, with lots of little treats during breaktime. My big boy tags along for car rides, and loves to visit with his friends. His friends include: three golden retrievers, three standard poodles, three sheppard-mixes, a cockapoo, an American bulldog, and a 16-year-old chocolate labrador. Chase has everything he needs to live the healthiest, fullest life possible. I share this with you to illustrate the level of care that all animals receive in my home. I strive to treat everyone equally and provide the best care possible. Chase is a big mama's boy, but he is always gentle with others and is able to match the playing style of whoever he's playing with. While caring for dogs in their own home, I always make sure that they are comfortable with me being there. Typically, this occurs through meeting in a neutral space and getting some exercise, but my attitude and demeanour play a big role too. I do my best to communicate with dogs, and listen with they try to tell me something. By listening and looking, I have found a number of skin/ear/cuticle infections, and removed many burrs/bugs/ticks. I have cleaned up more dog poop and puke than imaginable, so I have no problem doing it for your dog(s)! If your dog is experiencing an illness, I would prefer to care for them in their own home, simply to prevent the spread of anything that would impact the health of another dog. I always keep my phone on me in case someone is trying to reach me, and I can send as many pictures and updates as desired. In case of emergencies, I have experience stopping a dog from choking and been instructed on how to perform canine cpr. I also have my G drivers license and an SUV that can accommodate several dogs at once. Please reach out with any questions you might have, I would love to hear from you!

Information Autumn P. would like to know about your pet
The more I know about your dog(s) the better! Do they have any special needs, dietary restrictions, injuries, or illnesses? What is their favourite toy? Do they play well with other dogs? Are they reactive during walks? If you think something might be wrong, let me know and I can also watch out for it. For example, has your dog been eating grass? I will keep track of tummy troubles and give you details about their poop (I know - everyone dog parents favourite subject). If we get to know each other well, I can report behavioural changes too.
A typical day
Every dog I meet will absolutely receive the most amount of attention that they want. We will go for sniff walks, get some exercise, and play games that stimulate their brains. Physical and mental workouts are so important! They will always be able to count on love and attention from me. If you want to add something to the list, let me know!

I'm currently a master's student who is living in Kitchener. Almost all of my work is completed online, which leaves me with a very flexible schedule. Pet care has always been a part of my daily and weekly routine, and it's always the best part!
