Friendly and dependable caregiver

Pet care experience

I have been in the pet care industry for 20+ years as well as having had pets of my own for many years. I can care for all types of pets: dogs, cats, reptiles, birds and fish. I take special requests, just ask! I know how special our animals are so please don’t hesitate if your pet has special needs. I can even administer medications. I am open to FaceTime or any other platform if you want to check in on your pet throughout the day. I am here to make you and your pet’s life as easy and comfortable as can be while you are away. I currently only board (your pets stay at my home). In the past I would pet sit (and I do make exceptions for existing clients only where I stay at my clients home). From time to time I open my services to dog walking (I take your dog for a walk) or drop ins (I check in on your pet at your home), depending on the distance from my home. I do work outside of my home at times and so I will make sure you are aware if I will be away for a number of hours before we book. Your fur babies’ care and comfort are my top priority ☺️

Dawn took great care of our senior dog Ellie and our two cats! She treated Ellie like she was her own and was very communicative during Ellie’s stay with Dawn. She was amazing and gave great care to our babies. Thanks Dawn!!

Dawn is simply the best! She has cared for my 3 pups several times and I especially appreciate how well she care for my elderly 16-year-old Pomeranian Including giving him his meds twice a day and special attention going outside If you have an elderly pup, I highly recommend Dawn!

Dawn took excellent care of our very loved Roxy! She is an elderly dog that takes a little more work by providing special food and medications and Dawn met all her needs and made Roxy feel loved and comfortable! She sent me pictures each day and gave daily updates. We will definately be returning to Dawn!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
