Safety, trust & environment

I am always vigilant and making sure the environment is safe and friendly for the fur babies. I usually walk at local park and if it’s a drop in stay within the residence.

Information Dawna B. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know what your pets like. Do not like if they have any allergies., is there any dislikes whether it be any other animals or people? Where they like to be walked, if they have any preferences.

A typical day

We like to go for a walk around the park during summer or sometimes if there’s water features available, we can visit those if it is something that the pet parent allows local trails and parks, playing fetch-going to a dog park if it’s available.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, small mammals, fish, reptiles, birds and parrots in my lifetime. I have adopted and fostered and foster failed(adopted them permanently). I have several currently that are rescues that require daily medications. I love all animals and I have had everything from a 3.5 lb Chihuahua, to 180 pound mastiff- size does not bother me.

We hired Dawna to walk our two labs while we were gone for 5 days. She did an excellent job taking care of them, feeding them and ensuring they got their exercise. She regularly communicated with us and provided updates and photos. She also was always on time. We are very pleased with her service and our dogs took a liking to her for sure. She has dogs of her own and was in her comfort zone. I highly recommend her and we will use her again if needed. Thanks Dawna!

Dawna took great care of my cats - she left detailed notes and sent plenty of pics to reassure me!

Dawna has always done and amazing job with our girl. She keeps us updated as to how the walks have gone and even did bathing during the summer. She’s very professional and always my first choice when care is needed. She even has done same day for us in emergencies.

She is prompt and very informative, even sent pictures of our baby while out on her walk. She is patient, caring and loving. Our dog always looks forward to seeing her and she even provided treats and poop bags so we didn’t have to worry.
