Loving Care When Your Not There

I have had dogs as a part of my life for over 46 years. They are truly a part of my family, and I know the frustration of trying to keep them as stress free as possible when I have had to leave them for a couple of days. I always felt relieved when I could find a sitter that would come to my home to help with their needs, so I would love to be able offer that to other fur babies. I have also had several cats early in my life for over an 18 year period. I love cats and dogs and have often helped out my friends with theirs. I have a 2 year old German Short Haired Pointer now who is the love of my life and am a young retiree who would like to meet and help care for your fur baby.

Dawn does a great job. We have used her a couple of times now. Our dogs are very comfortable with her and they like her a lot. We’re so glad to have found her!

Dawn was amazing. Our two girls loved her. She was prompt on timing and very tidy. Most importantly, our girls were treated wonderfully. I know this because upon our return, after a week, they greeted us as they normally would every day. In the past when we took them to a kennel, they were anxious and depressed and very clingy for almost a week. So this is a drastic difference! We will be using Dawn every time we travel in the future.

Fantastic caregiver. Came every single day I was away and took care of my baby ❤ I knew the minute I met Dawn she was a great person with a great personality. I will totally use her every time I need a sitter and have recommended her to all my friends.
