A pet owner myself I give what I expect which is 100% love, patience, and understanding. Veterinary Technician Shelter Manager Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. Since I was 4 years old I aspired to work with animals and pursued that love with great passion. My experience administering medication Absolutely! Oral or injectible are not a problem. I am completely comfortable providing care for special needs dogs as well.
Reviews
Dawn stayed with our 19+ year old cat, Indy. He is an old guy that requires medication twice a day. He also uses puppy pads throughout the house, requires some encouragement to eat and lets out an occasional howl. Dawn came in and met all of Indy's needs, in addition to snuggling with him. We received video of him and updates. She left the house spotless and even did all of the laundry and folded it! She has an excellent memory, and needs minimal notes. We will definitely have Dawn back! Couldn't have been happier! Thanks for taking care of Indy!!
Dawn is amazing! We are so happy to have had Dawn take care of our animals while we were away. Just knowing Dawn was taking care of our cat made our vacation so much more relaxing and stress free. She is very caring and takes a lot of pride in taking care of pets as if they were her own.
Dawn is amazing! We have 2 pups one that has anxiety issues. Every time we would kennel the anxious pup would get supper sick from the stress. Our Vet recommended that we have someone stay at our house. We found Dawn! As a first time Rover user I was super anxious about having someone stay at our house and watch the pups. Dawn put me at ease: she sent pictures and updates. I was very pleased!! But the real test would be when I got home, how would my anxious pup be? Well not only was my house cleaner then I left it but my pup that is usually a stress ball when I am gone even for just an hour was totally fine. He was his happy self... I even think he kind of misses Dawn. It is now the morning after Dawn came to sit with him and he is doing great!! I would recommend Dawn for any up coming stays!! I personally have booked all of my upcoming vacations with her and I will never use a kennel again!!
Dawn provided loving care of our large lab-retriever mix. He had a great time with her family and their four footed family members. If the need arises again, we will not hesitate to ask Dawn to take him again.

Information Dawn H. would like to know about your pet
Naturally I like to know disposition. It is unfair to the dog if a stranger enters their home and does not anticipate the possibility of fear, insecurity, and confusion. Of course not all dogs get anxious when mom and dad leave so knowing its all kisses and tail wagging is a benefit too!
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog Aside from running home to make dinner for my family and grabbing love from my pets...the entire day! Extra house-sitting services Not a problem. I do, however, charge extra for additional pet services, ie: bathing, nail trims, ear cleaning, anal gland expression, etc.
