Friends of the Family

Hello. My name is Dawn and I was born in Yorkshire in England. I stumbled upon Rover 12 years ago whilst trying to find alternative accommodation for my own puppies and thought what a great idea it was. Having just taken a two year break to go spend time with my family, I am now ready to start up my Rover account again. For now, I am only offering service to house sit in your home whilst you are away. Having had 2 dogs with anxiety who dislike small children, I realised how hard it is to find someone to take care of them as soul clients. They either have multiple guests at once, or they have children. This is my only job so my full attention will be on your pups. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication by mouth.

Dawn seemed plenty experienced and the enclosed yard was a perfect romp area for all the dogs she had. Our pup seems happy and tired after her weekend. I think Dawn will be missed when she moves back to England!

I would highly recommend Dawn. This was the first time leaving our purebred who is very spoiled and not been around many dogs. Dawn sent us pictures of our dog playing and it made us a lot more at ease. Everything was so smooth and she is close to foxwoods. We will use her again. Our pup is home and looking for the other dogs to play with.

Absolutely loved Dawn! And most important, our Bichon Baxter loved her and he enjoyed her big fenced yard. She shared a lot of pictures of his stay which just made us laugh! We look forward to using Dawn more this summer and fall when we travel to the Mystic CT area. Thank you Dawn for your love and care! A+

Our pug had a great time with Dawn over Memorial Day weekend. Communication was simple and seamless and Dawn provided daily updates and pictures. Many thanks!
