Pet care experience

Mema to my grandkids & all pets

I've taken care of raising my kids in a pet-friendly environment for many years that stems from a childhood of taking every stray pet I could get past my mom. I have best friends in the pet rescue business as well as pet transport. All of our pets have been considered family all the way through their lives. I cherish any pet like I gave birth to them and have instilled that in my kids, grandkids, and anyone I could embark on having that conversation with. The majority of the photos you see in my profile are my grand-fur-babies as well as our forever family members that started out as rescues that are still present in our lives by moving on with my daughter in her adult life. She is also on Rover in Colorado if you know or need pet lover's help out there. Since Covid devastated this nation and my business I have been in NC helping take care of my grandkids with my ex-son, I have now moved to Lake Royale in NC permanently to be closer to my grandkids. I am home every day and have an open loving schedule to share the love I am full of for anything that comes my way. God is so Good! I have an open welcoming loving heart, a knack for customer service, and strive for attention to detail. Our home is warm, full of love, and ready to keep your fur babies safe, spoiled, and content. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced yard but I am in a safe community, have a large yard, and would never walk/let your fur baby out without a proper safety harness and leash.

Safety, trust & environment

I live the Lake Royale community so have gate access. I live full time in my 38 foot Class A Motorhome until my cottage is done being built. I am a stickler about ensuring your pet is on leash when outdoors. while indoors as long as other clients pets are friendly and willing pets will be able to roam freely. Crates are recommended for overnight stays or if pets will not get along.

Dawn was amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my babies in her care. When I picked them up she even put little bows on their harness! So cute! Thank you Dawn!!

Dawn is great! She made sure she knew everything she needed to check in on my cat. I will definitely be requesting her services again.

Dawn was wonderful in her care of our 3 cats. Our babies! She took such great care and went above and beyond when they were scared of an alarm. She worked through our alarm system when we needed it. I highly recommend Dawn for future care of our furbabies!! We came home to happy cats! Loved the pictures she provided!

Dawn was terrific! This was my first time leaving my cat in the care of anyone other than family or a close friend and Rover.com did not dissapoint! Dawn was reliable, professional, trustworthy and sent me regular pics! She took very good care of my kitty and eased my anxiety about leaving her alone. Dawn even checked my mail and watered my plants while she was here! I highly recommend her and will be using her again!

Dawn took very good care of my dog for my first time leaving him. She provided lots of pictures and updates and kept him active with fetch and walks. If she can handle his energy, she can handle any dogs energy! I strongly recommend!
