Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Dawn an animal loving nut!, I began pet sitting with Rover because I wanted to do what I love... spending my day with animals, but also because I saw a need for providing a service that was so high that animals in my care are treated like family, given love as close as possible that to what their own humans would do. I grew up with dogs, cats and many other smaller critters my whole life. I have modeled my my business after the kind of care I give my own animals. I have cared for cats and canines from pups and kittens to ones that need extra time, daily medications and elderly dogs and pets. I’ve cared for the quite a few ferrets, rabbits, birds and fish and others. Regardless of the pet, you can be sure you’ll receive the best care and love a human can give. I’ve worked as dog walker with wag and have previous veterinary assistant for almost 4 years. I have a passion for rescues and rescue work, I volunteer as a foster parent for Foster Paws of Greenville for cats/kittens. I am able to give medications and insulin injections, trimming nails, cleaning ears, folds, wiping eyes, or bath when request. It’s the question that every dog,cat and pet asks when they see your suitcase or briefcase, and now they know the answer. Dawn’s Stays and Sits! For 100% Shameless loving care. While you’re away, your pet needs extra love, not just a care, weather this means getting their workout on the trail or lounging on the couch to cartoons. As pet parents and lovers myself, m goal is to make sure your pet is walked, fed, groomed and cared for as if you were still at home. Doggy play dates. Long walks. Cuddling together. We’ll discuss your pet’s needs and desires, and you will get regular updates about what we’re doing so you will never have to worry. I can Stay . I can Sit. And you come home to happy pet. Please be aware that rates vary. **Boarding A single night stay is 7 am - 7pm Half day charge will apply after 7pm of the first nights stay. **Boarders: A carpet cleaning of 45.00 will be added if accidents acccure during stay. If you have questions about the rates or would like to discuss anything, please don't hesitate to contact me! I will care for your pet as if they are my very own, showering with love, attention, praise, exercise and of course the occasional treat and make sure that they are safe and happy while in my care. Our family has 2 sweet dogs Mugsy and lover boy Wrigley bear and five awsome rescue cats( Ninja, Snowy, Mooshoo, Spartacus and Peeka) 2 lizards , 2 chinchillas and 2 snakes. I welcome open communication, follow all instructions given and will always try to fill special requests to best of my abilities while caring for your pet. I look forward to meeting with you and your family Pet or pets. I'm pet loving mom with older children. So caring for you fur babies allows me to work independently but still be flexible with my schedule for my family as well and give the the best care. I care and love on your fur babies as if they were my very own. Weather they are stay in my home, they will be part of all of my family activities or me caring for them in conveniences their own home, they will be well cared for.
