Dawn is an awesome dog mom! She has the most wonderful year old Aussie that is lightyears beyond his years in training and temperament because of her care. She is a regular dog park attendee and always goes out of her way to plan her day around making sure her dog has an enriched life whether it be hiking, swimming, or some other sort of adventure. She's had dogs all her life, big and small, and understand the variety of needs dogs can have. She also has taken care of my older (11) golden retriever/border collie cross and has a catered to his old body. I always feel comfortable leaving Cody with her as I know she will take care of him as if he were her own dog. I couldn't ask for better in a dog sitter because I don't have to worry about Cody, I know he is safe.
