I am the owner of a 10-run dog boarding kennel in northeastern Ontario. In 2016, I asked Dawn to stay at our house and take care of my business so my husband and I could go on a week long canoe trip. It was the first time in 12 years I felt relaxed and worry free for the entire time I was absent. I was confident that Dawn would manage any situation that might arise while taking care of several dogs belonging to other people. She clearly loves dogs and they, in return, respond favourably to her. She dedicated most of her time and energy to the well-being of the dogs that were in her care and clearly enjoyed walking and playing with them. Several of my clients expressed how pleasant Dawn was to deal with and how much they appreciated the care and attention she gave to their fur babies.
