Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to keep the stress level to a minimum by keeping your pet in their home environment. I'm available for overnight care and daily walking or medical care.

Information Dawn H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog or cat have any special needs that I should account for. Please provide any signs of aggression that I should watch out for.

A typical day

I think it's important to provide exercise and downtime. A walk, playing with toys, and teaching tricks are some examples of exercise. Snuggling or providing a comfy place to rest are examples of downtime.

Pet Care As If They Were Family

Pet care experience

I've had at least one cat almost constantly for the past 55 years. I've had at least one dog practically every day for the past 30 years. My dogs have all been large breed animals but I have also provided care for members of my family who have a small dog. I currently have 2 cats and a dog. I've given medicine orally and through injection, clip nails, and conduct basic grooming. Tricks, treats, and cuddles are my specialty.

Dawn is a fun, caring, and loving person. She is very passionate about taking care of animals. Dawn provides a loving environment, gives proper care, tends to health matters, and gives lots of snuggles, not only to her own fur babies, but also to my dog, Moose. Moose is at ease when Dawn pet sits him- she plays with him, takes him for walks, feeds him and gives him his favorite treats. Dawn has cared for many animals in her life, and would be a valuable addition to Rover.

Dawn’s care of my dog and cats is extraordinary. She has keen insight into the needs animals have and how they try to communicate that to humans. She gives of a wonderful, motherly vibe that draws pets to her.
