Expr'd Vet Tech with over 25 years

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Dawn. I offer a wide array of services from pet sitting for just a couple of hours to overnight services, all in the comfort of your home. I also offer baths, dips, and toe nail trims. Being a former vet tech for 5 years, I am also very experienced in caring for geriatric and special needs pets who may require a little extra care, such as medications both oral and injectable. I am also experienced in exotics and large animals such as birds and horses. I would love to have to opportunity to care for your best friend! I have 5+ years as a vet tech. I have over a year of grooming experience. I was also a docent at the Tulsa zoo where I gained experience working with many types of exotic animals such as birds and reptiles. I have been around horses for the majority of my life as well. And, as mentioned before, I own a small pet boutique in Grapevine which carries high end pet products that you just don't find at the larger chain stores. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs my entire life. My grandparents had a dog that actually even helped me first learn how to stand/walk. She would stand next to me and wait for me to pull myself up and then I would hold on to her while she slowly led me around. My experience administering medication Absolutely! I worked as a vet tech for 5 years so medications are not a problem.

Dawn was attentive to each of my babies and made sure to keep me posted about her visits and how each of them was doing! I'll definitely be using Dawn's services again :)

I am a first time user of rover.com. Dawn watched my dog for 6 days. She was very attentive to my dog and did not hesitate to contact me with any questions. My dog is large and can be difficult to handle but she did a great job with her! I will definitely use her again when I go out of town.

Information Dawn M. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences. I love them all! I like to know as much about their personalities and medical needs (if any) as possible. The more I know, the better care I can give them.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog This depends on how many I'm caring for. Of course, the more fur babies there are, the more time I spend. Everyone has to get their fair share of course. Extra house-sitting services I can do anything that you need me to take care of.
