Pet care experience
I am semi-retired and work from home in Ashland. I also love the outdoors and am definitely a pet person. I like caring for and getting to know individual pets and their personalities. Through the years I have had pets whose favorite forms of play, exercise and ideas of loving attention varied greatly, and so have their sizes! From a Chihuahua, to Labs, and a Neapolitan Mastiff (with cohabitating kitties). I worked full-time and raised a family, so sometimes it was difficult to give my furry family members the amount of care, love and exercise they deserved. Does this sound familiar? I would love to assist! I can drop-in to visit your pets during your busy day, ensure they have food and water (according to your specifications), provide them with a potty break and/or take them for walks and outings you have approved (walking, dog park, swimming at the lake, playing fetch, etc.) I look forward to helping you and your pets!
Reviews
Dawn is passionate about taking care of all creatures, human or canine. I have trusted her with my furry friends for years! She is a caring and passionate person.
Dawn helped me with my pets for years as a caring neighbor. Best reference is from my menagerie of dogs and cats, they adore her!
Very good dog sitter. Pooches get extra love, exercise, and care. Especially if the dog enjoys playing fetch. You won’t have to worry, she’s amazing
About Dawn B.
Skills
Information Dawn B. would like to know about your pet
I like to know as much as possible about you and your pet's preferences for exercise, fun, and their social tendencies before "sitting", playing, petting, and exercising them. What words/commands are they familiar with (i.e. "fetch", "go get", "bring")? Do they want to go to swimming at the lake? If so, do they need a clean rinse/bath afterwards? Please let me know your basic desires, your pets habits, and your pet will tell me the rest :)
A typical day
What does your pet most enjoy? Do they want walks around your neighborhood? Is fetching their ball the most important thing to them? Do they more enjoy being social and playing at the dog park? Rather go swimming or hiking? Owners know their pets best, and what their favorite things are. My first "grandchild" is a black lab who is now very elderly and blind. In her youth she was the best Frisbee jumping, ball retrieving, go-getter ever! She appreciates patience more than anything now - she wants to thoroughly sniff a loved tennis ball, then have you throw it, and allow her the time to find it by smell. From super active puppy-hood, to teens, middle-age, and elderly; your pet has his/her favorite things. I am happy to get to know you and your pet, learn what these things are, and provide them!
