Information Dawn W. would like to know about your pet

I have dealt with certain medications in the past, such as oral and eye drops, and can handle most considering I also am trained to give humans vaccines.

A typical day

I love playing with cat toys and mine even fetches some of them. I also have some lots of walking and running so walking dogs is no problem even with my shirt legs.

Pet care experience

I have grown up with over a dozen cats and currently have two. I work in the medical field and have some experience that translates over for help with pets. Work part time with children and teenagers along with some at home freelance work in the side. I work dependent on the situation and understand every animal has their own personality and needs. I do well with any type of animal but prefer cats for boarding. The site used my middle name (Dawn) but my fist name is Amber. I will answer to either.

Dawn sat with our dog, Sammy 2 nights in a row. She arrived early both nights. She sent me photos on both nights. She was very personable & friendly. You could tell she really loves dogs. Our Sammy took to her right away. Several photos were of him sitting on the recliner with her. I would definitely use her again when we come back to this area next year.

Great sitter....went above and beyond while taking care of my 2 Chihuahuas. She even patched a hole the dogs made in one of my sofa cushions. Highly recommended.

Penny was well cared for last week. Dawn sent pictures and a comment everyday which put my mind at ease. Bonus, the house also looked great. We will be inviting Dawn back!

Dawn was absolutely amazing!! She did such a good job taking care of our 2 cats while we were gone. They are spoiled princesses and they just loved her. She was so good with them! I loved the daily updates and pictures she sent. She was receptive and flexible in their needs. I would trust her over and over again with the care of my babies. Thank you for giving my babies the best care while I was gone - you provided such reassurance during our trip!

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.
