Pet care experience

Animals are part of a family!

I believe that dogs and cats deserve love and attention just like other family members. When their owners are gone they need adequate care and attention to help them feel secure. I grew up with dogs and a cat - currently own a large dog and senior cat, both rescued from the SPCA. I also foster dogs for K9 Angels. In addition, one of my children is in FFA and we have raised chickens and pigs!

Dawn is a fantastic pet sitter. I have 2 cats that are pretty spoiled and she took the time to spoil them while I was traveling. She kept me updated each time she visited and spent a half hour here at each visit. Rover app easy to use. Dawn also added visit photos each time so I could see them. She worked hard to get one shy kitty to come around and see that she was a friend. Would totally recommend Rover and Dawn

Super communicative and clearly cares about animals. I could rest easy knowing Dawn was stopping in to watch my cats each day. Thank you Dawn - you are the best.

Pets

A typical day

Each animal is different! Some animals are lap dogs/cats that want to curl up on you and want to be petted and loved on. Others have a ton of energy and need the extra walking time and more time throwing a ball in the backyard to burn some energy. I believe you can determine the animal’s personality shortly after meeting them and decide what is best after reading the owner’s instructions. I enjoy walking in neighborhoods around my house and we also have a park across the street.

Dawn can host up to 1 pet per night
I like to know more about a dog’s personality and any insecurities they might have. Does the postman make them have anxiety? Are they afraid of loud noises or thunderstorms. Insecurities can affect their personality and moods!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
