I have been using Dawn for 3 years now. It started with some overnight visits and now she is a regular in our home with the return to the office. My dogs love Dawn so much and she helps me in every way you can think from cleaning to tasks around the house. - Sarah N

I highly recommend Dawn! She is caring, loving ❤, follows instructions, and both my dogs loved her! I had no concerns leaving my two fur babies in her care at my home. I will definitely use her services again.

Dawn did an awesome job taking care of my family of fur-balls! I appreciated all the photos she sent - they assured me they were in very capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again next time I need a sitter.

Dawn did an amazing job sitting with Max. He is a quirky, but sweet guy. Dawn was patient with him, got him to eat his meal, and became his snuggle buddy. She was in constant communication with me, sent multiple pictures daily, and really made me feel at ease about Max’s care. I highly recommend Dawn for your sitting needs!

Dawn and Ken are the best! They are very communicative and were a great help 8hrs a day while I worked and my pup recovered from hip and leg surgery.

Dawn is lovely. She’s understanding and personable. She’s thoughtful with our pups when getting to know them and sends lots of pictures from their walks! Thanks so much Dawn!

Dawn was terrific with our two dogs! Our senior dog needs a lot of guidance and comforting since she is virtually deaf and blind. And our younger dog loves attention and walks. Both dogs are on medication. Dawn stayed at our home and cared for our dogs, who quickly bonded with her; a herculean accomplishment with our senior dog! She send us texts and pictures throughout the weekend. We will definitely have Dawn stay with our dogs again.

I highly, HIGHLY, recommend Dawn to watch your house and pets. I just got back from a 4 day trip and everything in the house and yard is better than when I left it, and the pups are happy. She communicated often and sent pictures which was very reassuring. She went above and beyond what I asked her to do without my asking and I felt my 2 dogs were in very good hands. 5 stars!!!

I really can't say enough good things about Dawn. She was great. I found her in a last-minute panic when someone else who was going to look after my dog let me down, and she stepped in a did a great job. She was at my home for 3 weeks and communicated regularly and handled everything calmly and competently, which included a couple of doggie accidents to clean up! There's really not enough room here to say what a great job she did.

Five stars as always! Dawn is the best sitter we've had, hands down. The pups love her and she keeps us up-to-date while we are away!

Dawn was great at wrangling our herd and keeping us updated along the way. It was really nice getting photo updates and feedback while we were away on how everyone was doing. Thanks so much for taking care of our furkids!

Dawn was awesome she walked both dogs separately because one of my babies has walking issues and house was same as I left it and she did everything she said she would. I would highly recommend her and will be calling her again.

Dawn and her husband were a joy and took great care of Aika. I'm definitely going to use them again whenever i'm in Concord. They were very accommodating to Aika's injured leg and went out of their way to give her a space that she can rest in. I'm a happy mommy :)

Dawn is wonderful with our dogs. She kept in constant communication with us throughout our vacation, and when one of the dogs developed the "runs" all over our kitchen floor, she notified us only as an FYI, and made no complaint about having to clean it up. As a matter of fact, she even brought something from home that she'd used with her cat for "digestive issues", and left us the remainder of the bottle when she left. We arrived home to find it cleaner than we'd left it (she'd even folded our sheets and left a lovely note with photos of our pups). When Dawn stopped by two days later to drop off our key, my pups were right there to greet her with wagging tails and kisses☺️ I just hope she doesn't get too busy to sit our dogs:)

Dawn is rated with at least 5 stars. She is a fantastic, awesome pet sitter. I have a difficult dog and she won him over so fast. I had to question is this my dog? He was putty in her hands. We love Dawn.

Best dog sitter EVER!

My dogs really took to Dawn from the get go which is why I chose her. We all felt really comfortable with her. She sent me pictures of them and that made me really happy.

I will most definitely be using Dawn services again.

Dawn is awesome! I needed someone fast, because of a short notice trip. She was able to spend the night at my house and keep my three fur - kids happy and safe in their own home. We are now using Dawn to visit our kids during the day. She's great, neat, friendly, flexible, and we're so glad to have found her on Rover!

Dawn is hands-down the best sitter we have had! She is fantastic with the dogs and I have no qualms about leaving them in her care. She is trustworthy and treats them like her own!

Dawn is my go-to dogsitter when I travel out of town. She takes wonderful care of my pups, who can be quite a handful for most people. She works with you if something unexpectedly changes or comes up in your travels, and you can rest assured that your dogs are in excellent hands when they are with her. I'm so glad I found someone that I trust to let into my home with my babies! And the best part is that my dogs love her just as much--I'm almost jealous sometimes!

Dawn is fantastic! I have two very hyper dogs who aren't very well socialized, but they were no problem for Dawn. She took the time to sit with them and win them over. She even brought over a toy for them to play with! My boyfriend remarked that she was like "The Dog Whisperer" when she sent photos of our happy pups while we were away (generally photos of our dogs show them barking or shying away from the sitter, while Dawn's photos showed them basically smiling and sitting next to her feet). Very professional and friendly! Highly recommend her!

I have several different kinds of pets-An iguana, 2 snakes-some chickens and a few dogs and cats.
I travel several times a year and need a reliable person to care for all of these animals and their special diets.
Dawn is the one!! She is really accommodating to my ever changing schedule and has kept all of my kids (pets) safe and clean.
To my knowledge they alway have fun and love seeing her walk onto my property. Dawn learned the security system and how to set and disarm the alarm. Sometime the dogs would go to her house for a treat.
Dawn has been a vital role in my ability to travel and feel confident that my pets are all very well taken care of. I plan my trips around her schedule so she is the only one I trust and use for my pet care and other household chores I can not get to.

Dawn was absolutely great with my 3 dogs.
I have a hard time getting proper care for all 3. 2 very big dogs and 1 very small.
They stayed at my house some times and at hers. The dogs are very familiar with my home and Dawn was kind enough to stay at the house with them to make them comfortable.
They are now used to her house and I feel totally comfortable traveling for work for long periods of time and having the dogs very well cared for.
I have a special feeding ritual that she keeps without a problem. I also have a special menu I like them to eat. She has even gone to the store for the special diet. Dawn is down to earth, clean and very flexible. She is the only one I will have care for my pups..
