Pet care experience
I LOVE animals - all of them. I have had a variety of pets throughout my life; cats, dogs, horses, birds, chinchillas and even a monkey. I started obedience training and showing dogs when I was 13 - with a Doberman (Shadow)...that’s when I totally fell in love with dogs. I continued to train and show dogs throughout my life in obedience and agility trials. I am a volunteer for a Texas based Doberman rescue, serving as a dog foster, dog transporter, home inspector and I process applications for potential adopters. I also volunteer transport dogs across the United States, with 2 different groups, helping dogs in need, get to their forever homes. My husband and I have 3 dogs of our own; we enjoy playtime with them, travel and hanging out with our 2 wonderful grandsons!
Reviews
Dawn has watched our 3 young Afghan Hounds a number of times. She is awesome!! She is very experienced with large dogs and rescues and is quite at ease with our rowdy bunch. They took an instant liking to her, and that speaks volumes - even more than my strong endorsement!
Dawn is beyond perfect to be selected as dog sitter for Rover. She has always been an advocate for animals and consistently volunteers her all of her spare time and energy to helping dogs in need. She is kind and compassionate and treats all furry four (and sometimes less) legged friends as members of the family. It doesn't matter the dog breed, age, size, health status, or level of manners - Dawn is patient, attentive, and devoted to any animal put in her care. She believes in treating each "fur-child" with love, respect, and attention. I have watched numerous animals blossom in her care - and they varied in the spectrum. Some were skittish, others aggressive, there were even a few with so many health issues I lost count! It didn't matter - she remained devoted to giving them the best care she could - and every single dog flourished and became a member of the family. You would be adding a dog loving champion to the Rover team by hiring Dawn.
My wife Dawn and I have been Highland VIllage residents for the past 9 yrs. Dogs have played a large roll in our lives. We have been fostering Dobermans for many years. Dogs can sense if your a true dog person and Dawn is one of those people. Dawn also walks to stay fit so she won’t have any problems giving your puppy a good workout. We both love our 4 legged friends and i know she will love yours too.
