Dawns been a lover of animals since a small age. She is so nurturing and treats her two kitties like they’re her own children. I would trust Dawn to care for any animal she is well adapted with different behaviors and personalities of different animals and how to understand body language. She’s such a fun loving person and I’m glad she’s someone in my life and I bet any animal around her feels the same way!

Dawn possesses strong animal-handling skills and consistently creates a calm, safe environment for my dog Ariana. Dawn gave my dog lots of attention and kept me updated at all times .

I couldn’t have asked for a better person than Dawn to care for my Shih Tzu and cat when I needed help. Dawn was not only incredibly responsible, but also genuinely loving and attentive to their unique needs and personalities. It was clear that she treated them as if they were her own. She gave regular updates and was thoughtful about their routines. I came home to two happy, well-cared-for animals, and I can't thank her enough for the peace of mind she gave me. Dawn is truly someone I trust, and I’d wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a dependable and caring pet sitter.
