Pet care experience

I'm a huge animal lover.

I've had dogs and cats my whole life so I have a lot of experience caring for them. They become my family and I love them dearly. I treat them better than most people treat their children. I would do anything for them, and I would treat any other pet the exact same way, as if they were my own. I live in a house with a fenced in backyard, great for running and playing. I live in a safe neighborhood with large sidewalks that are great for afternoon walks. I have a standard poodle and a mini-poodle who love to run and play together, they would make your pet feel welcomed and right at home. I also have two cats that are very friendly and loves the dogs.

Dawn is so great with dogs and has taught me everything I know when I suddenly became a dog owner. She has had several dogs of her own over the years and her sense of calm and affection with her dogs is reflected in how happy and well trained they are. I’ve also seen her with other peoples dogs and it’s amazing to watch how much they immediately trust her and are drawn to her. Dawn will love and care for your dog as if it were her own. I highly recommend her for the best care of your loved one.
