Pet care experience

Book your cat drop ins today! 😻🐈

**If you are booking for the first time on Rover you can get 20 dollars off your first booking. Ask me how. This is only for first time Rover clients. Thank you for visiting my profile. I offer drop ins for cats and housesits for cats and dogs. ABOUT ME: I grew up on a 22 acre farm in Southwest Oregon. I really miss the daily interaction with all of the animals. Rover allows me to get a piece of that back by doing something I love. I treasure the time spent with every animal I care for, especially cats because of their beautiful, unique energy. Pet sitting is my full time job, not a side hustle. If you’re looking for a “cat person” then look no further. I am always looking for a new cat to spend time with and if I didn’t need the money, I would do it for free! My drop in service includes food, water, litter, playtime and light cleaning. I STAY for the full 30 minutes unless you request otherwise. I have experience with all types of medication including insulin injections. Please note that I cannot administer medication to aggressive or fearful cats. If you’re unsure how your cat may respond we can schedule a trial drop in. **Confirmed booking is required in order to schedule a meet and greet. NOTE: This is my profile but I have added my husband, Alvaro, so that, should an emergency arise, I have someone I can depend on to care for your cats. We are both dedicated to providing conscientious and reliable care for your animals as we understand the tremendous responsibility of assuming their care. If you are interested in my housesit services please send me a message with your request. My housesit services are tailored to your needs and I will be living at your home for the entirety of the booking, only leaving a few hours per day.

Please be sure that you have your veterinary information in your profile. Emergencies don’t happen often but I have occasionally needed to take animals to the vet.

This was the first time Dawn took care of my kitties and she did a fabulous job. Thank you, Dawn!

Dawn was an absolute delight!! We never left our cat Grace before so we were a bit apprehensive but once we saw the daily reports and pictures of our princess we knew we made the right decision. (Even though our baby was a bit defensive Dawn handled it beautifully) Thank you Dawn for looking after our baby and keeping our minds at ease. We will definitely be using your services again :)

Dawn provided excellent care for our cat, Max. We loved getting pictures of him and seeing him play. During our initial meet and greet, Max took to her right away and we suspect he gave many legs rubs while we were away--a sure sign of praise and acceptance from our little guy.

Schedule

Additional details: drop in times may vary slightly depending on my schedule. If your drop in is flexible time I will come in the morning.

Cats
Dawn can host up to 12 drop-ins per day
Please let me know about your cats typical behavior meeting new people and places they like to hide. I prefer to have at least a “proof of life” photo for fearful cats for my own piece of mind.
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.
