Dawn was amazing! It was my first time boarding my dog so I was nervous but she took great care of Jasper. Lots of pics and videos and a beautiful dog friendly home!

Dawn was amazing w Sadie. She was happy the whole time she was there. Dawn was very accommodating with my schedule changes which were many due to the fact that I got sick and needed to delay my trip, bcs I couldn’t be around my sister whose immunity was down from a stem cell transplant. While I was there caring for her, I wanted to pick Sadie up on nights my sister was doing well and keep her overnight. Then when the worst part of the transplant caused her to go thru some very difficult symptoms and I needed to stay extra time, Dawn graciously kept her two more days, even tho she had out of town company. Granted her grandson made Sadie very happy and Sadie did the same for him! It was a relief to see she was having such a great time in the videos she shared bcs my dog really knows how to turn the guilt trip on me. I highly recommend Dawn! She will be very loving toward your pet!

Dawn is the sweetest person and a HUGE dog lover! She has rescued and rehomed many dogs and has always had dogs herself. She's very loving and patient with the fur babies! I would trust her with my pets anytime!

If you are looking for a pet sitter who will treat them like absolute royalty, Dawn should be your pick of the litter! I have known Dawn for 37 years, and she has always had a happy, tail-wagging sidekick by her side. Caring for animals isn't just a job for her, she takes great pride in being a pet protector and a loving companion. She genuinely bonds with them. Honestly, the care you pet receives from Dawn will have them looking forward to her visits even more than their favorite squeaky toys! You can leave your furry family members with her having total peace of mind that they are in the safest, most affectionate hands possible.

I highly recommend Dawn for any dog sitting needs. Because she actively works with rescue services, she brings a deep understanding of dog behavior and specialized care to her pet sitting. She is especially brilliant with small rescue dogs who might be anxious, shy, or slow to trust. Dawn knows exactly how to read their body language, keep them safe, and make them feel secure. She is professional, highly knowledgeable, and the only person I fully trust with my pets."

I’ve known Dawn for a long time, and I can say without hesitation that she is a kind, caring, trustworthy, and exceptionally responsible person. She has a genuine passion for providing the very best care for pets and would devote herself to understanding and meeting each pet’s individual needs. Dawn is especially attuned to animals’ unique personalities and is the kind of person who would take the time to make sure a pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have complete confidence in her compassion, dependability, and commitment, and I would highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their beloved pet.
