FURBABES SPOILED LIKE ROYALTY HERE!

Pet care experience

Your babies WILL be treated like the Kings and Princesses they are, at my home, just like mine are!!🐶💙 We find it comical when my fiance and I are squeezed onto 1 cushion of the couch, while the dogs and cats are sprawled all over the rest of it. My girl Jinx likes to be a stinker and STEALS her spot any time my fiance gets up, and we never make her get back down!! -We have dog beds throughout the house of all shapes and sizes, a huge toy box loaded with Kong's, squeaky toys, bones, balls, tug a ropes and cuddle toys! We have plenty of treats and busy bones for good furbabies!! -As a precaution, I have thunder shirts for any baby that may get scared or nervous, like Jinx does with thunderstorms or fireworks. Myself and my furbabies are used to having dogs of all sizes, shapes, personalities, and backgrounds in our home! My girl Jinx loves all other animals, her nickname is Momma Jinx, because she has always enjoyed taking care of and "mothering" the other animals. -I have a fully stocked animal emergency 1st aid kit for scrapes or cuts and am experienced in giving shots, such as insulin to cats and dogs as well as CPR, and bottle feeding those too young to eat on their own. - I use gates to properly introduce dogs to each other. - I have references from the rescue community, customers, friends, and my vet if needed. -I have plenty of space for the dogs to lounge(dog beds, couch, loveseat, & our bed of course..lol) and plenty of room for them to play. -We have a dog door so they can go outside anytime they please in our fenced in yard. If a dog had never used ine..I like teaching them and they learn quick and end up treating it like a game..in and out, in and out! -I feed dogs separately, in different rooms if needed to avoid any issues with food. -When house sitting, I generally like to come over a week or few days before the owner leaves to be shown everything I need to know, taking notes as we go. - I also have owners leave a note with everything we talked about and anything they may have forgotten! -Feeding instructions -Important numbers such as the vet, friends. or family that I can contact in case of emergency. -Any important information about the. animals I am caring for, if they need. medicine or shots ( which I am trained to do). -I can also take your dog or cat to vet if they have an appointment while you'll be away. I don't mind at all. I always keep a copy of the information with me and 1 at the owners home. -Rest assured, I will leave your home as clean or cleaner than when I arrived. -When I am Dog walking, I try to go on different routes so the dogs do not become bored. I carry a collapsible bowl on my belt loop and always have water and bags on me..as well as my phone to track our route , take pics, and for emergencies. If allowed I will sometimes take them on a ride to the park. I come to Rover.com after 11+ years in the animal rescue service. I have rescued over 30 dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens. I have fostered many of the animals I rescue as I usually find them on the street. I rescued a litter of 9 from an overwhelmed family , I raised money to have them all receive their shots and be spayed/neutered. I was able to secure donations of food and materials to build them a huge play pen area outside. I even was able to have the mother dog spayed, so she wouldn't have to keep going through that. I adopted out all 9 puppies to great homes. I have loved animals since I started bringing home strays as a child and feel I am a little more empathetic to animals who are suffering, neglected, abused, or just lost. I would like to get into another aspect of it and the money I make, a portion, goes back to the street dogs and rescues I care for, for their food In the summer & at Christmas, I also collect dog houses, hay, blankets, food, toys, and treats and give them out to the dogs who are left outside, some on chains, ALL YEAR ROUND!! I try to brighten their lives a bit by bringing them the essentials. I also give these dogs flea/tick/heartworm/biting fly medicine every month and vaccinations every year. I check on them frequently during the brutal summers and cold winters. I get updates frequently on all my rescues and even babysit some of them from time to time. ☺

Dawn was great. Very accommodating and communicated with us throughout the process. We appreciate her taking such great care of our young Doberman. We will definitely be contacting Dawn again.

Information Dawn M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the breed, age, and size. I would also like to know if they are cat friendly and if they play well with both male and female dogs. I need to know if they are food/treat aggressive, so i can do separate feedings. Also, if they are house broken, taking medicine, are escape artists, and anything else the owner deems important for me to know, such as are they anxious or scared of storms or certain people, are they crate trained, are they chewers. Basically anything I need to know to keep your dog healthy and happy while in my care!

A typical day

My personal dogs are walked 3 times a day and we also go to a secluded and private park area that is huge. The dogs really love this area and all the space to play, sniff, and do what dogs do...have fun!!
