Pets

Safety, trust & environment

If I was watching your cat, dog, or other pet, we would play with toys, I would feed and clean up after your pet, and also provide lots of love and snuggles! I would want to know what kind of activities your pet prefers so that I can keep them safe, healthy and happy. I am good with shy/timid pets. I can also administer medications, and I am happy to care for young or senior pets.

Dawn took great care of our senior cat Mimao during our 9 day trip to Europe. Mimao looked relaxed and happy when we got back. Highly recommend Dawn as a loving, responsible and responsive pet sitter!👍👍 Yang

Dawn is the best. She’s our go-to when we go out of town. We extended a trip last-minute, and she was able to accommodate watching our kitties. They love her, and we have total peace of mind when we’re away that they’re being loved on and taken care of.

Repeat customer - we absolutely love having Dawn watch our cat. She sends great pics, gives him lots of love, and he is always looking happy and well groomed (even better than when we left). We feel so lucky to have found Dawn!

Dawn always does an amazing job taking care of my cats. She consistently sends plenty of adorable pictures and showers them with love. I couldn't recommend her more!

Schedule

I am a hospice social worker with a flexible schedule, available to take care of pets in your home. I will give the best quality care to make sure your pets are healthy and happy while you are away. I will feed, play, cuddle with and clean up after your pet. I am a true crazy cat lady! Cats are my favorite. I can also take out trash, water plants or other odd jobs around the house if needed.

Cats
Dawn can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or behaviors that I can adapt to. I like to keep their litter and feeding area clean, I promise it will be cleaner than when you left! I will send lots of pictures of me snuggling and playing with your pet.
