Information Dawn W. would like to know about your pet

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!

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.

Animals are part of a family!

Pet care experience

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!

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.
