Pet care experience

I am a avid pet lover.

I have been a owner of Rottweilers for 20 years. All had cancer so we had to do special things for them. I have always given all my dogs there baths, teeth brushing and nail clippings. Also made sure they got enough exercise. Walked them daily. I thought this is something I'd do until we get our next dog. I enjoy being around dogs. I do have 3 grandchildren and they enjoy being around dogs. I also have had dogs when i was growing up we also had a few cats. I also helped my sister in law when hers had puppies. I am one that finds a lost dog and will do anything to find its owner. I've pet sitted for a few of my neighbors already.

Dawn took good care of Lady. She sent updates while Lady was in her care. I would refer her to anyone that’s asks me.

Dawn was great! She helped me out with a last minute booking, provided daily updates, and took good care of my energetic 3.5 year old pup.

My fur babe was well cared for and I was totally at ease with him in Dawn’s care. Thank you so much for taking great care of him and I would definitely be comfortable with her caring for him again!

My whole yard is fenced in and I do have a long leash for smaller dogs if needed. I do have a crate if needed. I only use a crate if the owner suggest they use one.

Me and my granddaughters always play fetch with the dogs if they play. I take them for usually 2 walks a day. My yard is large enough so need to take them to a park.

If your pets have any special needs I would like to know before hand. If your dog isn't good with stairs I would like to know. Cause I have 9 stairs coming into the house and to go out back there is 7 going out.
