Pet care experience

I'll treat your pets like family :)

I have worked in veterinary medicine for 10 years (6 years with Companion Animal Wellness Center and 2 years with Tender Touch Animal Hospital, and two years with animal emergency and speciality center) and I also worked in animal rescue for two years at Pasado's Safe Haven. I love dogs of all kinds and enjoy learning about what they enjoy and how I can help them live happy and healthy lives! I've helped two clinics implement cat friendly practice standards and have a solid understanding of cat behavior. I am comfortable giving medications and know when medical care is needed. I am also a pet owner myself and understand how important it is that you be able to trust your pet caregiver to treat them like family! I teach special education now and so am pretty busy during the school year. If my 12 year old son can come, he’s great with animals too, and I can be more flexible then. Feel free to ask me if something will work!

Safety, trust & environment

I know the level of trust it takes to leave your fur children with someone new. I will follow your directions and try to keep things as steady for them as possible. My son and I love animals of all shapes and sizes and we love playing with and spending time with them.

Autumn did a wonderful job watching our dogs while we were on vacation. Our dogs responded great to her and she is clearly very comfortable and knowledgeable with dogs. She kept in constant communication with us, provided us with great pictures, and promptly let us know of any concerns she had with their routines and habits. I would not hesitate to seek help from Autumn again and I definitely recommend her services!

Autumn is one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever booked! She was very communicative, handled each dog perfectly despite their individual quirks and overall made me feel so much better about going on vacation! I absolutely recommend Autumn to look after and love your animals!

Autumn was wonderful. Pax loved her immediately, it’s how she interacts with him that made him feel comfortable and safe in the first second of meeting. Autumn is very quick to respond and we love the updates and pictures.

Autumn was fantastic! She sent me funny pictures of my “boys”, and they were relaxed and happy when I got back. I’ll definitely be asking for her to come back!

Autumn was wonderful with my sweet old pup. It takes a good bit of patience and grace to put up with a 14+ year old deaf and going-blind dog who doesn't always make it outside to go potty. He's got doggie dementia and gets confused and hand shy too. But Autumn was wonderful with him. She and her son stayed with my dog at our house so he could be in a familiar environment, and I returned to find the house exactly as I left it and with a happy dog. They were responsible and respectful to both my home and my senior dog. I am filled with gratitude and would highly recommend Autumn.

Schedule

Over the summer I am very available, only needing to be home for about 4-6 hours a day to take care of my own dog. If your dogs are pet social and you don’t have cats ( too fun to chase!), I can stay all day. During the school year, I am gone from 7am until 5 or 6pm, so realistically can only do weekends or solely overnight care.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Autumn can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I would like to know who they are as dogs. Do they love other dogs? Or are they more timid? What sort of tricks to do they know and enjoy doing (ie what can distract them from something else that they want)? What kind of medical concerns do they have? And finally, who is your preferred vet should something happen?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
