Pet care experience

I've had and taken care of dogs of many breeds since I was a child. I have fostered dogs for the rescue I volunteer with and have trained and nursed dogs back to health for them. I have also trained obedience, trick training and agility with my personal dogs. we have had three special needs dogs that I trained. My deaf/vision impaired sheltie I trained with hand signals. She was a trick dog and therapy dog. I trained my son's blind/deaf sheltie using touch commands and I now own a vision and hearing-impaired sheltie puppy that I am training with both.

Dawn was absolutely wonderful with Bentley over the 4th of July holiday! He was a bit timid staying in a new place, but Dawn was incredibly accommodating and made him feel right at home. She gave him the perfect amount of attention to help him settle in and stay comfortable. Bentley also needed daily medication, and Dawn handled his dosage schedule perfectly without any hesitation. I felt completely at ease leaving him in her care for those 5 days. Highly recommend!

Dawn was amazing! I did not have a single worry the entire 8 days she watched our dog . Dawn updated me daily with texts , videos and photos . Our dog absolutely loved her dogs . I can’t say enough how amazing Dawn was !!!!!! I would recommend her to everyone looking for a dog sitter . I think we will even try to setup a day for her to go to Dawns for doggie day care just so she can play with her new friends . Thank you sooo much Dawn you’re amazing at taking care of our girl Tulip .

Dawn had been amazing with our pet Remy. Not only she took care of him but also enlightened us with best practices. She made sure Remy had enough play time along with comfort. Her pups and dogs at home also helped in a way. Remy had a gala time playing with them. She is a great sitter.

Great sitter! Out of all the sitters that I've had, she's the only one that asked me to bring my dogs favorite blanket from home. Very smart thing to ask. She sent many pictures and updates the entire time.
