Information Dawn K. would like to know about your pet

All i need to know about your dog is what makes him or her happiest! And thier routines But I also want to know more details like what they are afraid of and how to comfort them and if they have allergies to anything. What is their favorite toy or activity! Etc

A typical day

My goal is always to make you furkid comfortable, safe, happy and calm. The fun activities are endless and depend on what each dog or pet likes to do. I love playing with them and cuddling with them..

Pets

Loving Responsible Care for all pet

Pet care experience

Pet Tech CPR and First Aid Certified!!! All animals are my passion. I have not only grown up with several different types of pets but also volunteered at an animal shelter. My greatest joy was watching the pets that wait the longest for a home get adopted! I hope to expand and have my own rescue in the next 5-10 years. Ive been pet sitting for over 5 years and am responsible and reliable. I keep you updated everyday with pics and updates and will take care of you furkids as if they were one of my own. I have three of my own rescued cats at home one who has asthma and its hard for me to leave her for vacations and they are all my kids! I decided to get into this career due to finally realizing that the career I chose in management at shipping places like Fedex was not where my heart was.. I now drive a school bus during the winter which leaves me lots of time inbetween the morning and afternoon routes to spend with your babies or do walks or drop in visits....I also took classes for pet sitting and other pet care, and CPR for pets. This way I can provide the best care for your babies! I am professional and loving and look forward to meeting and caring for your fur baby! Thanks so much if you decide to pick me for any services!!

Dawn went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were well cared for. She sent us daily updates and we could tell she truly cared for our pets. We will definitely considered using her again for our future bookings.

Dawn was incredibly accommodating and did a wonderful job watching Ramona and Dexter. She kept us updated with pictures throughout our weekend getaway

This was our second time having Dawn do drop in visits with our cats. I appreciate all the photos, especially of them all playing. Dawn went above and beyond on this booking - when she went downstairs to the basement for the litter boxes the morning after a bad storm, she discovered our basement was flooded. She called us right away and offered to get a box and some litter for our cats which was greatly appreciated. It's clear that Dawn's first priority is our cats, and that makes her a wonderful sitter.
