Pet care experience

Energetic Grandma!

I work hybrid which means sometimes from home, sometimes in the office. I have taking care of animals since I was 18 years old, friends and family depend on me to care for their furry children. I would be honored to assist your family with whatever your needs are. I do have two cats of my own. They usually stay upstairs during doggy visits. When I work in my office, I am mainly available on weekends or for drop in visits before and after work. When your pet stays with me, you can expect 3-4 walks per day (weather permitting), lots of attention, playtime and interaction. I will treat your pet like a family member!

Dawn was great with our two cats! Pictures and communication was excellent. We’d love to have Dawn watch them again.
