Highlights
Pet care experience
Certified Dog Lover🤍
Hi! I'm so glad you're here. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, and it’s truly a lifelong passion. I grew up on a large farm, which gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals—including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, goats, horses, and even donkeys! Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, groom, and love their pets like my own. I have experience with everything from daily drop-ins and long walks to overnight stays and doggie daycare. For the past year, I’ve also worked at the San Diego Humane Society, where I’ve had the opportunity to care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments, and needs. There, I gained experience handling nervous, reactive, and high-energy pups, and even administering vaccines. Professionally, I’ve also worked at two dog daycare and grooming facilities—Dogtopia and a local dog salon—where I learned to confidently care for multiple dogs at once, ensure their safety, and understand their unique personalities and body language. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and slow-to-warm-up, I meet them with patience, care, and respect. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member!

Once again Autumn did a wonderful job and took care Brom with updates regularly!
Autumn was fantastic! This was our first time traveling with our dog and using Rover and she made the entire experience stress free and wonderful. She provided great communication and regular updates while caring for our dog which gave us so much peace of mind. We highly recommend Autumn!
We could not have asked for a better sitter to watch our two dogs over Thanksgiving! We absolutely loved Autumn, and so did our two high-energy labradoodles! She gave them so much love and attention, kept us updated daily with pictures and messages, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, including take care of the house and bringing in all of our packages. We would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced, reliable, and wonderful pet sitter!
Autumn, has the best, most calm energy. My kids loved her! She was very communicative and I feely like she loved on our babies like they were her own.
Autumn was wonderful! She was quick to respond, very communicative, and great with our Lab, Vail. She sent several pictures as requested, walked him daily, and left our house spotless! We felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Autumn is such a great sitter! She communicated with us throughout the stay and sent pictures and updates. She really made us feel at ease leaving our puppy for the first time. Moqui really enjoyed her too. I really appreciate that she also walked him so he could stay active while we were gone. So thankful we found her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter.

Schedule
Pet care is a regular and meaningful part of my life. I’m currently pursuing my master’s degree online, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Right now, I’m available throughout the week and weekends for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. I do anticipate starting a part-time job soon, but pet care will remain a priority in my schedule. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I make sure their routines—whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just some good company—are met with consistency and care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that every pet is unique and thrives on their own routine. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet in mine, I always follow your instructions closely to make sure their schedule, feeding times, walk routines, and any medication needs stay consistent. I also know that being away from their owners can be a little stressful for some pets, so I make sure to provide extra love, attention, and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just sitting quietly with them, I meet each pet where they’re at emotionally and physically. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet!
A typical day
I love keeping dogs mentally and physically stimulated through playtime, practicing fun tricks, and cuddles. When the weather permits, I can take dogs on long walks or hikes to explore the outdoors and burn off some energy. I also provide enrichment activities, such as puzzle toys and scent games, to keep their minds engaged. Playtime with toys is always a hit, and I make sure to tailor activities to each pup’s personality and energy level.
