About dawn

For a long as I can remember I've had a huge love of all animals. I grew up around dogs in the UK in my family home. 
Once I got married my collection of animals started, and I've not really stopped 🥰
We emigrated to NZ with our 2 daughters and our Boarder Collie, German shepherd and Siamese cat in 2004, we bought a small life style block that came with 2 pet sheep, and my collection of farm animals started. 
I've personally owned, sheep, cattle, chickens and goats. I've had lambs and baby goats living in my house, next level crazy animal lover 🤭 I've hand raised cocktails, chick's and ducklings too, jeepers, I've fitted a lot in over the years 😆
I'm part of itty bitty kitty committee, a registered charity cat rescue,I run this with my 2 daughters 😍 
Your animals would get all the love and attention they need while you are away, probably more than they want 🤭 
I have an elderly Rough Coat Collie called Maggie and a very energetic German Shepherd puppy called Daisy and 2 cats,  Earl Grey and Fagan. I've had 5 dogs in our home at one point, and I loved it, the more the merrier, but sadly the hubby dosen't agree 😆
I'm confident with all dogs, big or small. I'm aware cats can be a bit more aloof when a cat sitter takes over from their human, but I will do my very best to gain their trust and give them love ❤️ and I never leave home without a carry crate and treats, due to being the only rescue in our rural towns from Horopito through to Taihape,I am always prepared and well organized😀 
I'm very trustworthy and honest and have a natural loving and caring nature 😊
