A Pawsitively pleasant experience
Pet care experience
I've had pets since I was a kid, we were always taking care of all the neighborhood strays, and most of the neighborhood had us on speed dial when their pets got out (we would play with whatever came in the yard). I've also worked for a year and a half at a pet resort where I was trained on Animal CPR (though would need to be recertified as it has been some time), how to care for pets in stressful situations, and assisted with daily assistance with comfort care and feeding. I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, parrots, hamsters, fish, and some lizards. I have patience with senior pets as well, and will show them the patience and love that they need.
Reviews
Dawn is conscientious pet caregiver. She gives updates on my pet while I am away. I have a senior cat and I am happy with his care.I have used Dawn to care for him on multiple times and I am sad when she is not available.

Safety, trust & environment
I always ask the owner to make a list of a normal daily schedule, the last thing I want to do is come in and damage the comfort level of what a normal routine looks like. Any extra instructions of pet care, emergency numbers, allergies, crating, treats, etc. I like to meet the pets in advance to see if we're a good fit, though I know that when Mom and Dad aren't there, their personality may change a bit. I am patient with all pets and will not force myself on them, I let them become comfortable with me.

Availability
I work full time during the week unfortunately, however my nights and weekends are free, especially if you want to go out on a date night or weekend excursion and have the comfort of knowing that your pet is safe and being cared for. Depending on location, I have the flexibility to have an extended lunch for letting dogs out if needed.
