Your GO-TO pet sitter
Pet care experience
Hello! I've been a Rover sitter since 2018 and I love it. Dogs & cats are my passion, I'm obsessed!! I've cared for all the variety of breeds and sizes so I have no restrictions there, this includes special needs and seniors. Prior to Rover, I worked overnight at a boarding facility where I would check-in on the dogs and let them out for exercise. I volunteered to walk and care for dogs in shelters and currently, I foster cats and assist with finding their forever home. I have an Aussie-mix named Harvey, who is nervous but very sweet so I’m very familiar with behavioral “issues”. I work a full time job from home, feel free to reach out to me as my times are flexible and I can accommodate most requests. For my style of care, I believe in what I like to call the three P's: Positivity, Patient & Persistence. I've come to this conclusion from reading books and taking seminars on pet behavior. Positive reinforcement and rewards (clicker or treats) for good behavior. Any bad behavior warrants a learning experience, and being patient is key. Staying persistent is the most important; knowing change doesn't happen overnight and keep to a schedule will create the outcome you're working towards. Lets talk, get together for a Meet & Greet and start the process on me being your GO-TO pet sitter!
Reviews
Oh my goodness, where do I begin?!?! Autumn literally is the best! Not only did she offer to meet my shy cat before the scheduled time and date but she was so attentive and left me detailed messages and pictures and videos of my cat while I was gone. She went above and beyond about the safety of cat and really ensured me of the overall well being of my cat who's a bit attached to me. Honestly plan on using Autumn again and again as long as she's around for my next out of town trip. She really tried to bond with my skiddish cat.
Autumn is always great with my two cats! She sends wonderful updates, is patient with following my overbearing list of things to do with my cats, and my cats love her!
Autumn was great. Zoey who is typically a little stand-offish with new people loved her. They played together and everything went really well. Will definitely be booking Autumn in the future whenever possible.
Thank you so much Autumn! You were so great with our kitten Keanu. We loved all the pictures and videos you sent. We really appreciate you and would hire you again next time we go out of town!

All pets are welcome here! Its important to know the behavior of the animal, are the worrisome of other animals? Do they enjoy attention from everyone? Its important to keep their schedule as close to normal as possible, what times of day do they eat, sleep and/or get activity?
A typical day
We can walk, run, chill or play with toys/games. You name it, I can most likely do it. I'm always take into consideration weather conditions prior to activity, weather it be the heat or harsh winter, so please let me know if there's anything specific you do for your pet. Plus, I've taken some photography classes in my day so expect some great shots!
