House Sitting • Jul 21, 2026

Dawn is the perfect pet sitter! I immediately trusted her to come into my home to care for my cat. Boo came out from under the bed for her and liked her enough to rub up against her. (Cat parents know about this) I appreciated the text message updates about my cat and she is a warm and friendly person. Exceptional !

Doggy Day Care • Mar 23, 2026

I had a great experience with Dawn and her husband! They took excellent care of my dog and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Abbey came back happy, relaxed, and well cared for. It’s clear they genuinely love what they do and treat pets like their own. I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

I was a bit shocked my pup even wanted to come home. That’s how much he enjoyed staying with Dawn and family. They were great about sending updates throughout the stay. I can’t recommend Dawn enough!

Great communication, regular updates and came home to find the house clean and all kitties happy and well fed. Dawn even left us a welcome home plant! She will be our absolute top pick in the future!

Dawn and her husband are absolutely amazing! They watched our dog and cat while we were away for our wedding weekend and they went above and beyond to ensure our fur babies were well cared for and loved. They even cleaned up our home and left us a beautiful letter congratulating us on our marriage. We would absolutely welcome them back to our house anytime!

Safety, trust & environment

I have two amazing Cavalier King Charles spaniels, house sit a German shepherd a lot, my dogs are cared for by University of Penn in Pa. (Prior to moving) and I honestly care for them as well as I do my children. Care and compassion are top notch for me because that is how I would want my own fur babies to be treated.

Pets

A typical day

We play fetch with our pets, take them to the dog park, play ball, plenty of walks and lots of cuddling. I administer medications if needed and will do whatever you know your pets enjoy.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Dawn can host up to 2 pets per night
If they have any special needs, need medication, if they have any injuries that would prevent them from being able to jump or walk long distances. Food preferences and rules regarding their food/treats etc. I would want their vets name and number in case of emergency and your emergency contact information.
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.
