Dog Gambit! walking & house sitting
Pet care experience
Star Sitter since April 2024. I’ve been working with dogs as a hobby for over 20 years. I grew up training my first dog in both obedience and agility, and I currently have three rescue dogs of my own. I love dogs, cats, and critters of all kinds! Wondering about the name? Gambit was one of my former dogs who has since crossed the rainbow bridge. Whenever she was being naughty, I would jokingly say “dog Gambit!” to her.
Reviews
Always great with my 2 German Shepherds! Comes prepared with treats to help with the greetings! Feel very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Lauren and Ryan
Autumn came to the rescue when both my spouse and I had to travel for work at the last minute. Would definitely recommend!
Great care of the kids and took on a last minute walk when my plane was delayed!
Autumn was super communicative and was able to accommodate us at the last minute to housesit for our 9 week old puppy. We look forward to working with her again.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am happy to provide your dog with a safe environment in your own home. I’m an expert at keeping dogs from bolting out the door, and my years of dog training experience help me to understand your pets’ needs.
Information Autumn W. would like to know about your pet
I’m well-versed in giving topical and oral medications and basic grooming such as brushing, nail trimming, and ear cleaning, so please let me know if you’d like any of those things done during my visit. I am comfortable using flat collars, head collars, martingale collars, or harnesses (no-pull or otherwise), but I will not use prong or shock collars.
A typical day
I love training and playing with dogs. I also love long walks around the neighborhood or in nature. I’m happy to play tug, fetch, or whatever other games your dog enjoys. I’m used to high drive dogs, but I’m just as happy watching a couch puptato.

Availability
For walks and drop-ins, I'm typically available for lunchtime (11am-1pm) and/or after work (4-6pm). I do need at least a few hours of notice for walks and drop-ins. For house sitting, I can work anywhere with a reliable wifi connection. I’m available to walk your pup 3-4 times per day if I’m staying in your house. When I'm house sitting, my partner takes care of our dogs.
