Pet care experience

Reactive? Fearful? No problem!

I am a Certified Professional Pet Sitter through Pet Sitters International, a GoodPup Certified Trainer, a current student of Victoria Stilwell Academy's Dog Trainer Course, insured through Business Insurers of the Carolinas, have completed the American Red Cross Cat and Dog First Aid course, and currently volunteer for both SPCA of Wake County and Carolina Border Collie Rescue. I'm a strong advocate for using force-free methods with animals of all species, so you know your pets will be in caring, calm, empathetic hands while you are away. I have experience working with and managing reactive and fearful dogs.

First time leaving my pup with anyone other than family and I couldn't have chosen better than Autumn. She definitely relieved my anxiety over leaving my anxious dog. Autumn took great care of Sheyna, worked on her anxiety while taking her on walks, and sent me updates and pictures twice a day. She also left the house so clean you could hardly tell she'd been here. Sheyna's made a new friend and I've found an amazing sitter for her.

Autumn was fantastic with Teddy, and gave multiple updates through the day. You could tell from the photos that they were spending really great quality time together. She even got him to eat all his meals, which is rare for him with a new person. I would definitely recommend her!

Autumn was great! She sent lots of updates on our pup and the house was spotless when we returned home from our trip. We will definitely be booking with her again.

Autumn is an amazing pet sitter. She is extremely professional, detail oriented and cares for my dog as if it were her own. I feel completely comfortable leaving my anxious pup in Autumn’s care. The photos and videos Autumn sends us while she is pet sitting are wonderful to receive. We are so lucky to have found Autumn so we can go out of town without worrying.

Autumn is spectacular. Very professional and responsible, great communicator and very intuitive with pets. We could not be happier and will certainly use her again and again.

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. If your dog is reactive, please let me know your protocols so I can keep their routine the same as much as possible. 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. I will provide a harness during my visit if I feel the equipment provided is unsafe.
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.
