Pet care experience

Dogs have beautiful souls

I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately.

Dawn stayed with my dog and my daughter’s dog while we were on a family vacation. Ollie and Teddy did very well with her. She sent us pictures every day of them, which we really appreciated. Ollie has pretty bad anxiety around storms and she handled his meds and other things we do to ease his anxiety very well! Thankful they were so well taken care of and were happy and healthy when we got home!

Dawn was an exceptional sitter. She came on short notice and took great care of our two large young dogs. She was kind and caring and very communicative. We’d book Dawn again anytime.

As always, Dawn took great care of our fur-girls. I never have to worry. It’s such a relief to know our Beagles are well-taken care of in their own home.

My dogs were very relaxed with Dawn! I got a daily update, and they got all their food and meds as needed.

We were out of the country for almost 2 weeks and Dawn took great care of our 2 Beagles. One of them is 16 and requires some special care and I completely trust Dawn to watch over her.

This was only our second time leaving our puppy and Dawn was so warm and friendly. Brody warmed up to her right away and we didn’t worry a bit while gone! She sent pics while we were away too :)

I’m retired so you would not have to worry about your dog or cat. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog or cat.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Dawn can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
If they have special needs, I can take care of that. I can give medicine, shots or whatever is required. You won’t have to worry while you are away.
