Pet care experience

a pal for your pet

I am an experienced pet owner of both cats and dogs, dispensing medicines including pills and cytopoint injections. I have recently retired and now get to spend time getting some exercise while enjoying the company of your furry friends. It would be an honor to be entrusted with the care of your furry friend, as I believe that they are valued members of a family and should be treated as such. I'm available to provide walks and stop by to visit on short notice, and I have no problem with baths and brushing, but I'm not as comfortable with nail trims. I'll be happy to water plants or bring in the mail if you're out of town for a bit while visiting your loved one.

Dawn was very reliable and absolutely wonderful and loving with our dog, Stitch. She even helped us several times without even asking. I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs.

We had a wonderful experience meeting Dawn. She was warm, professional, and very thoughtful in how she approached getting to know our dog, Mr. Thor. She took the time to assess whether it would be the right fit and was honest and communicative throughout the process, which we truly appreciated. It’s clear that she cares deeply about making sure each dog and family is matched appropriately. That level of integrity and professionalism says a lot. We’re grateful for her time and would absolutely recommend her to other pet parents.

We had Dawn come in & do a drop in visit with Timber when we were gone on an all day trip out of town. We had a meet & greet with her prior & liked her instantly! She was prompt on giving us an update on how the visit went & we would definitely recommend her & would use her again!

I cannot say enough about Dawn. She is very kind. I have an active Australian shepherd/ lab mix and needed some help for several days while dealing with family issue out of home. Dawn took to Penny super quick and I loved the visit summary and pics. I am sure Penny misses her already but I will definitely contact her again when needed. 5+ stars!!
