Pet care experience

There is nothing like home care!

I am a veterinary assistant, working part time at a local veterinarian clinic. I have a huge respect for animals and the people who love them. I have experience walking and caring for my own pups and shelter pups as well. I love cats and am experienced caring for cats with health issues such as thyroid, diabetes and senior issues. I live in the country on 9 acres of land with lots of back roads for walking and plenty of yard for running and playing. Our pups are used to sharing space with other furry friends as we have always socialized them. Since I live with my spouse staying at client's houses over-night is not an issue as he is home to care for our fur babies.

Dawn is the best ! She takes such wonderful care of our dog Jack. He loves Dawn and so do we ❤️ She definitely gets a five star from us . She brushes him beautifully and makes him feel loved while we are gone. She even vacumed for us and made the house look great.

Dawn was wonderful with our Great Pyrenees while we're away for the weekend. She provided many pictures and plenty of text messages to keep us comfortable while we're away. Highly recommend her if you're looking for a outstanding pet sitter.

We've had our cats 10 years. Until now I was reluctant to leave them for more than 1-2 nights max. The only time we'd left them for a week was when a close friend stayed with them. I'd heard of Rover but wasn't sure what I'd get, maybe someone who could feed my cats and fix my TV, giving both the same care and empathy. Not so with Dawn. Dawn understands people and their pets! I received daily communications, knowing when she was there and how things went. Our boys are quite shy, but they warmed up to Dawn, which goes a long way with me. I could go on, but don't want to put anyone to sleep. Suffice to say that I will definitely have her look after our boys in the future, should need arise.

Dawn was wonderful. This was her first time caring for our pups. She set up a meet and greet to get acquainted. Dawn was prompt , and she asked all the right questions. Dawn took great care of Molly and Jake , they seemed very happy. She is an excellent communicator and let us know regularly how they were doing.
