Pet care experience

I have raised and cared for many dogs, cats, and even a chinchilla. My training experience includes teaching German Shepherds, Bichons, Shihtzus, and Yorkies in potty training, leash work, inside manners, and fun tricks. I have had several handicapped and medically challenged pets and will provide any type care needed. I would love to take care of your treasured pets while you are gone.

Dawn was an incredible sitter. She made my normally anxious German Shepherd feel at ease and gave her a wonderful experience playing with other dogs. Would absolutely book her again.

Dawn once again took great care of our dog, Sevi, while we were visiting Santa Fe a second time. Sevi is a sensitive shepherd mix, and she gave Dawn a thumbs up! Dawn was communicative and responsible.

Dawn took terrific care of my own very sensitive collie mix as well as my mother’s mini golden-doodle. Both came back relaxed and tired from playing.

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.
