Pet care experience
I decided to join Rover.com as a care provider after having to leave my own three dogs at a boarding facility while my family went on vacation. Although the facility took good care of my dogs, it broke my heart to leave them there, without the personal care (and snuggles) they are accustomed to receiving. As a care provider, I am committed to providing your pet with the same kind of attention, care, and comfort I would want my own dogs to receive. I grew up on a working ranch, raising dogs, cattle, sheep and horses. When I was younger, I was a member of the 4-H program, with lamb, horse, dairy, and beef projects. I absolutely adore dogs and my husband and I rescued/fostered dogs through a national French Bulldog rescue group for several years. This work also included providing training, medical treatment with our vet, reviewing applications for our foster dogs, interviewing potential adopters and performing home-checks prior to adoption. I also have enjoyed participating in basic dog training programs with my personal pets and try to continue educating myself about dog behavior through reading books by a variety of different trainers (and training methodologies). Working closely with my veterinarian, I have become passionate about dog nutrition and have experience with both feeding high-quality kibble and raw diets. Because of my work with Frenchies, I understand and am sensitive to the special needs of brachycephalic (flat-faced) breeds. I'm very excited to care for your dog during afternoon/early evening walks and overnight care in your home!
Reviews
The best, per usual. We couldn’t be happier to be able to have Dawn watch our dog-ter.
Dawn is the BEST! Couldn't ask for a better or more caring house and pet sitter. I never worry when we are away. Plus Dawn communicates well, is easy to reach and goes well above and beyond what is asked of her.
As always, Dawn takes the best care of Lyla. I could book her a million times and write that many reviews and it wouldn’t do justice to the care Dawn gives to our dog and our home while we are away.
Simply the best there is. Dawn treats our girl like her own and handles every bit of the stay like the most considerate and caring human on earth.

Information Dawn M. would like to know about your pet
I'd appreciate any information you can give me about your pet prior to caring for him/her (ie: Allergies, behavioral issues, treat and food preferences, prior training, potty behavior patterns). Although I love all dogs, I've personally owned and have the most experience with Frenchies, Chihuahuas, Rat Terriers, Aussies, Border Collies, Labs and other mixed-breed dogs.
A typical day
Our favorite walking spots are at Borst Park (and the dog park there) or at Capitol Lake, but am always looking for new good, safe places to take our dogs.
