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.

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.

I would recommend Dawn to watch your fur babies!! She was very quick to respond to all of my questions, extremely kind, professional, and sent updates about our baby frequently! Her home was PERFECTLY set up for pups and their needs. Her fenced in yard was also a plus! Will absolutely be using her again in the future. ☺️

I would recommend Dawn to care for your pet. She is very attentive to their needs. She takes them outside for exercise and fresh air in her big backyard. Her dogs provide playmates if your dogs love to play with others. She can also provide a safe space for dogs that prefer to be by themselves (as one of mine does) if that is their needs. They can also be found lounging on the couch cuddled up next to her. She is the only person I would trust my girls with. You won’t go wrong in choosing Dawn as your pet sitter.
