Information Dawn S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. Although we never anticipate needing a vet visit, it's good to have that arrangement just in case!

A typical day

We love to play ball, take walks at the park and hang out together! Special treats are always fun if parents approve! We have a large yard with lots of grass to walk around in also!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs my whole life , from small to large and have been entrusted by family, friends and word of mouth for pet sitting. I am reliable and very conscientious about pet family members.

Dawn & her family did a great job caring for our beagle Chelsea. It was her first time there & based on the frequent pictures & texts Dawn sent - she loved her stay there & all of the attention. My highest compliment is that they treated her like she was a part of their family. Will definitely use Dawn again!!!

Nala received great care under Dawn. The communication throughout was seamless, and when we had to adjust our schedule, Dawn was flexible. We were reassured with regular photos and updates a couple of times a day. We recommend Dawn's services.

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