Pet care experience

Professional Pet Lover

Pet CPR & First Aide Certified. Animals are my joy, they are my dopamine kiddos they are a reason to keep on living and loving. Accepting all four-legged hugs and kisses. Kindly request boading pick ups and drop offs take prior to 6pm. My husband helps with all services, he has experience with animals from a very young age and many (if not all) animals gravitate towards him whenever he is around. My sister also lives with us and helps with any furbabies in our home. Our 2 children have been around animals big and small since birth and genuinely enjoy having other animals in our home. There will always be someone qualified at home to care for any furbabies we are responsible for caring for. We are currently saving up for classes in animal training & animal behaviors and modification as well as obtaining a commercial kennel license. I want you to know your pet will be safe, loved and cared for, for their entire stay with a qualified sitter(s).

Dawnessa was wonderful! She responded quickly, was flexible with our needs, and our pup was so well taken care of. We received several updates through the stay which made us feel at ease. Highly recommend!

Thank you sooo much Dawnessa! Dawnessa was kind enough to take Dahlia in at the very last minute. She sent lots of pictures which we really appreciated since we were away for an extended period. She responded quickly to our texts. She gave Dahlia a wash and her sister, Kala, gave Dahlia a cut before we returned. I consider her to be an excellent caregiver. She gets my highest recommendation.
