Dawn was excellent!! I highly recommend her! She did a great job pet sitting our large GSD and even brought her own beautiful retriever over so they could play together, which our dog LOVED! We received lots of photos and a daily update. Our house was left neat and clean. Our scaredy cat was well looked after, too. We would LOVE for Dawn to pet sit for us again!!

Dawn was fantastic!! She stayed overnight with my two dogs and kitten. I loved that she sent daily reports at the end of the day as well. I have a senior lab who I was worried about leaving but Dawn took great care of all three and made me feel so comfortable being away. She left my apartment just as when I left and very respectful of my space (even though I told her to make herself at home!) Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Already have her booked for my next trip!
