Iola did a good job minding Noah for 6 days. There were some initial problems when I dropped him off. She was not present at drop off time, but did have 2 people helping. They tried their best but one of the larger dogs jumped up rather aggressively and chewed the small dog toy that I brought. The other toy was temporarily lost. Iola reimbursed me for both toys as well as proving me with another small toy. Portions of his dog food were incorrectly administered but she said she followed my directions. Other than that, mission accomplished.

Iola Dawn was great and so was Gregory! I advised them that my dog was not good with other dogs and to keep her separate but they did proper introductions and so she got to hang out with all the other dogs that they had there. They sent me lots of pictures of her hanging out on the couch, etc. So she looked as comfortable as could be. Gregory was also very helpful when I arrived late from my flight after 9 PM and picked up my girl early when he was about ready to watch a movie with her. 🙂 I would recommend them both and use them again in a heartbeat!

They were great and spoiled my babies. They even sent lots of pictures and took great care of them. Both Skippy and Daisy were very comfortable with their stay for two weeks. They had fun and made it easier for me to know they were in good hands

House Sitting • Jul 22, 2026

We highly recommend Dawn for housesitting and pet sitting!! She recently stayed in our home and took care of our pets while we were on vacation. Our dogs tend to be quite anxious and are accustomed to traveling with us everywhere we go. So this was a first for us. And they did amazing! Dawn sent us daily photos and updates and had such a calming effect on our sweet pups. They were excited to see us when we got home and transitioned with ease as we all settled back into our routine. Thank you Dawn, for taking such wonderful care of our home and our pets!!
