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 was incredibly kind, helpful and accommodating for our dog Beef Stick.She was attentive to his needs, made sure he got plenty of love and attention, and made him a cozy home to stay in while we were off. Beef Stick got a lot of loving from her grandkids as well, and was extremely comfortable, so much so he didn’t want to leave when we picked him up. We will absolutely be utilizing her for future boardings!

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.

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.
