Information Dawn Marie P. would like to know about your pet

I require all bookings to have a meet and greet first. I do not pick up last minute walks for first-time clients. Knowing my clients and their pets allows me to understand your pet's unique needs. I build client relationships that last.

A typical day

I frequently walk down by the Mississippi and other city parks. My pups also like to play in our fenced urban back yard or just snuggle with me on the couch.

Dawn was amazing! She gave detailed updates and photos of my boys and made sure to care for them like her own. She got to know each of their personalities and was so sweet to them!

Dawn was great about showing up and treating our girl Audrey to a nice midday walk on short notice. Judging from how happy she seemed when I got home later, it was a lot of fun for her -- would definitely recommend and will remember Dawn for next time!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
