About Dawn's Pet Sitting Services


Dawns Pet Sitting Services was established in 2007 following a career spanning 25 years at Bishop's Stortford Veterinary Hospital. I run a reliable, professional and friendly business putting you and your pets individual needs first. This, along with my Veterinary nursing experience, provides a service that offers just that little bit more. I work in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire.

So. A bit more about me -I have owned a variety of animals from Goldfish to my precious Golden Retrievers.
Since my business was established I have walked and cared for a whole spectrum of breeds- chihuahuas, dashchunds, labs, golden retrievers, greyhounds, husky X german shepherd dog, bulldogs and pointers to name but a few! . I have cared for variety of small pets including fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, parrots and budgies. I have also cared for a 3 legged cat, very elderly cats{one being 23 years old} diabetic cats. My veterinary experience allows me to ensure the needs of these pets are met.
I also have a passion for wildlife. During my vet nursing career I helped with first aid on a variety of creatures including kestrels, hedgehogs, foxes, badgers and many birds needing treatment from oil contaminated river. I have had hands on experience caring for a very special fox and have been privileged to gain a greater understanding of this species.

October 2019 sees me enter my 13th year running my pet care business. I run the business individually which allows me to offer a one to one service, engage with clients and build trust and understanding of their animals whilst under my care.
I am police checked and my insurance is renewed every year.

Being a new puppy owner (and an anxious one! ) Dawn made things incredibly easy by being so lovely and trustworthy, so I knew pup was in safe hands when I left her. She loves Dawn! Scheduling days was easy and Dawn has been more than happy to be strict on the schedule I had set. Thoroughly recommend for your pets!

Dawn is absolutely fantastic and so professional. We have left our treasured dog in her care since she was about six months old, and she is reliable, kind and so hardworking and conscientious. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dawn to my friends (and I have done, actually). Dawn sends photos during her visits so you can see your lovely pet having the best of times while you're not there, which is so reassuring and also just lovely to receive. Dawn is very flexible and excellent value, as she is extremely experienced and runs a very professional business. Dawn takes the time to get to know you and your pet(S), and consolidates your training by using your command words. Above all, she loves animals and her kindness towards them knows no bounds, which really sets her apart.

Dawn recently looked after my cat in my home while I was away on holiday. During the daily visits she was fed watered and the litter tray was checked and cleaned out if required. The feeding area was kept clean and tidy and Dawn kept me informed on a few other things I had asked her to keep an eye on, and also sent me a report and photo of my cat at the beginning and end of the period of her visitations. A good service all round which included a free pre-booking meeting and it was reassuring to me to know that my cat was left in the care of an ex veterinary nurse of many years experience. I will definitely be using her services in the future again.

We used Dawn recently to look after our cat while we were away for 4 days. The initial introduction and handling of keys etc was very efficient and we felt comfortable leaving our cat in Dawn's care. Dawn was very reliable and professional throughout our dealings with her and she kept us updated on all aspects of our cats care. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dawn to others and would gladly use her services again for our beloved pet.

Dawn recently looked after my cat, popping in to feed her and clear litter tray during the day. I was very grateful, as this was a last minute booking. Dawn was very thorough in ensuring that all details were correct. Very highly recommended.

I highly recommend Dawn's Pet Sitting Service for the professionalism, care and attention to detail which Dawn offers. Usually I leave my cat in the care of my wonderful neighbours, but I didn't want to impose on them for a whole week to visit my parents. With Dawn looking after my cat for a week I had peace of mind. Binky looked as though she had been very well cared for when I returned. I would certainly use Dawn's Pet Sitting Service for future occasions, and am happy to recommend her.

We got Ellie as a young puppy in February. At the time we both had to commute to work, so we had 3 days a week where Ellie would have been all on her lonesome. We were so lucky to find Dawn, who came in three times a day to clean up Ellie's mess, play with her and feed her. She did all the little touches we requested like leaving the TV on for Ellie, and was quite flexible with the days and timings. She also showed us her police background check, so we felt more than comfortable giving her a spare key to our home. Now Ellie has grown older she's really looked forward to her regular walks with Dawn, who also takes the initiative to try to train Ellie on the walks. It's been really useful having Dawn in our lives; we've been able to ask things like how to clip Ellie's nails, and Dawn gave us a demonstration. We're sadly moving away from the area but hope to keep meeting up with Dawn whenever we're back, as Ellie really enjoys her time with her! I would recommend Dawn for dog services in a heartbeat. Ellie will miss you lots!Moreexpand_more

Dawn recently looked after our two house rabbits for a couple of weeks coming into the house twice a day as we had arranged. At my request she kept me regularly updated on their progress with messages and photos. We are again very pleased with the caring, friendly, efficient and professional service we received. I would highly recommend Dawn.

Dawn took great care of our two cats while we were away for two weeks, visiting once a day as requested. We were kept us up to date and felt that our animals were in good hands. Initial visit, key collection and drop off were done within agreed times. We plan to use her services again the next time we go on holiday.

Dawn looked after our 2 guinea pigs for a week in July. This was the second time we had used her services, and, as before, we were very happy with what she did. Dawn came in twice a day as we agreed, but she went beyond this and occasionally made an additional visit to check that they were okay if she had put them out on the grass in their run. For us, it is this thoughtfulness and reliability that sets Dawn apart and we will definitely use her services again.

Dawn looked after our two house bunnies, Barney and Bilbo for four days while we were away. She came in twice a day to feed them, clear their litter trays, top up water bottles and give them an extra play time outside of their normal hutches and runs. She regularly updated us as to how they were doing, putting our minds at rest when we were away. Dawn is very efficient, knowledgeable, professional, friendly and caring and provides a first class service. I will be recommending her to my friends who have pets.

Dawn has looked after our rescue cat, Luna Moo, in May and July whilst we were away. We were quite worried about leaving Luna, as we had only had her a few months and she was still settling in. No need to have been worried though! Dawn is very professional, reliable and friendly, and kept us up to date with how Luna was doing. As well as feeding, she took time to sit with Luna and give her some affection. She is also flexible in that she managed some extra visits, particularly when our flight got delayed by 2 days. Would highly recommend Dawn, only down side is that I think Luna misses seeing her now! .

Dawn was amazing looking after our three cats for two weeks. Keep us very infirmed on how they were doing and we came home to three very happy animals, and not to mention clean litter trays. Would highly recommend her services.

Dawn looked after my granddaughters budgie while we were away for just over 2 weeks. The budgie was fit and well on collection. Dawn is a friendly person who seems very knowledgeable about all animals. We were happy to entrust our pet with her.

Cats Max and Jasmine did not know Dawn, but were clearly comfortable and happy with the care provided. They were settled and content on our return. Fish were also healthy and garden well cared for. Would recommend Dawn.

Dawn visited our rescue Jack Russell Lucy once a day for me when my partner was on holiday and I was unable to get home from work. She fed Lucy, gave her some attention and took her out for a walk. Dawn offered an extremely personal yet professional service and provided regular reassuring updates which I was immensely grateful for. She even did an extra emergency visit for me when I was stuck in London and unable to get home. I was nervous leaving Lucy with a sitter as she can be unpredictable when out and about due to her previous maltreatment, however Dawn was fantastic and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her or use her again in the future. Your pets are in good hands!

Dawn looked after my budgie for two weeks. A genuine person who really cares and has many years of experience looking after a range of pets. My Budgie returned home clean, well and very happy and was obviously very well looked after. Would not leave my pet with anyone else. Thankyou Dawn.

Dawn looked after Harry, our cat, while we were away for 5 days. Harry was happy and settled when we returned and had obviously been looked after well and Dawn kept us updated to allay any concerns we may have had. Very pleased with the service and would strongly recommend to others.

Both Bruce and his Mum and Dad are more than happy with Dawn and the way she looked after Bruce whilst we were away for a long weekend at a family wedding, very releiable and lovely person.
Rosemary

Dawn has looked after our dog twice now and he has been more than happy and quite relaxed in her care. Dawn has an obvious love of animals and takes time to get to know your animals and to follow their normal routines. She has always sent me a text to give me peace of mind that our dog has settled in well. It is nice to find someone so caring and professional to look after our dog.
