**I would follow whatever schedule your pet needs. At my house,I’m an early riser, so I get up, take my dogs out, feed them, feed the cats, then make coffee and spend the morning playing catch with them. I work in the afternoon online usually, so my babies are usually napping. In the evenings, 3 days a week, I work outside of the house. (I took this job, because I needed live interaction with people). So, if you give me 2 weeks notice, I can take off.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m always happy to take your dog for walks, I enjoy the outdoors, so enjoy them, myself. Your pets comfort is so important to me. I understand that your baby might have a lot of anxiety, while you’re away. I am great at comforting them, as my dogs have anxiety, also. Safety and love are the most important thing.

Information Dawn H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I will do my best to make sure that your fur baby is taken care of properly.

A typical day

I’m an early riser, so I get up, take the dogs out, feed them, clean the cat litter boxes, feed the cats, and then make myself some coffee. I would follow whatever schedule you have for your pets.

Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Dawn. I am an extremely loving person, that raised 4 daughters, and have 3 grandchildren. I’m from AZ, but moved to TN in 2023, to be closer to my grandchildren. I have always had pets. (Large dogs, small dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, etc…) Right now, I have 2 dogs, that are the Coton de Tulear breed, and 3 black cats, 2 came from the firehouse across the street and 1 followed me home from work. I am responsible and clean up after myself, so you do not have to return home to a mess made by me. I send daily pictures of your babies, so you know that they are safe and loved. I understand dietary restrictions and have the patience to hand feed pets that need it. I also have experience giving medications. I don’t mind sleeping with your pets, and look forward to seeing them again and again. I treat them as though they are part of my own family. I work online, and also have a small part-time job. If Im given notice of more than 2 weeks, I schedule off from my part-time job and only work for you. Otherwise, I work 4-5 hours, 3 days a week. I make housesitting jobs, my priority. I’m looking forward to meeting you and caring for your pets.

Dawn was amazing! She was super communicative before, during, and after. She supplied us with photos of our sweet babies and always made sure we knew things were good. Would definitely have her sit in the future.
