“Dawn has been taking care of my 12-week-old energetic and velociraptor GSP puppy, Zara, for the past two weeks. From the start, Dawn impressed me by taking the time to schedule a meet-up beforehand to get to know Zara and me. This thoughtful gesture made me feel confident in her abilities and reassured me that Zara was in great hands. Over the past two weeks, Dawn has been punctual and caring during her visits to my home. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”

8. Kylie M.
About: I’ve had dogs growing up for as long as I can remember and it’s thought me a lot of responsibility and respect for the animals. I’ve taken care of a lot of animals from cats and dogs to lizards and hamsters! You can always rely on me to follow directions and respect you and your furry companions. I’m no longer working as I am going to college in 2025, leaving me plenty of time to take care of my own animals at home, cook, and clean. I love bonding with animals and I believe it’s a great way for me to fill my day! I have two cats of my own and they have plenty of toys as well as a huge indoor cat tower. My cats also have an outdoor patio, or “catio” if you will. They love spending time outside in the fresh air and sunshine, with supervision of course. When they’re not running around being a menace we’re all cuddled up in bed relaxing and enjoying our time.


9. Kate B.
“Kate was great. Awesome communication and even dropped by to meet us before the first visit. Really appreciated that. Will definitely re-book.”
