My cat, Peggy, is a sweetie, but she's very fearful of people she doesn't know - her usual practice is to hide under a bed until they're gone. Dawn was able to feed her, give her a pill, and even play with her. She's a cat whisperer! She's also very professional and accommodating - she came ridiculously early every morning to keep Peggy's pill schedule. I feel very fortunate to have found Dawn.

Dawn was absolutely amazing with our cat. From the very beginning, she followed every instruction carefully and made sure he was happy, healthy, well-fed, watered, and clean. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was so attentive and responsible. She is definitely a cat person and truly cares about cats and animals in general — you can feel it immediately. What meant the most to us was how much our cat warmed up to her, more than he typically does with other people. It was clear that she didn’t just “check in” on him, but genuinely spent time showing him love and making sure he didn’t feel alone while we were away. We are so grateful for the care she provided and will absolutely be rebooking with her. Highly recommend!

Dawn took amazing care of our two senior kitties for 3 weeks! She took thorough notes at our meet and greet and followed through with all of the instructions. Her communication was excellent as she sent updates and photos for every visit. She was also flexible with extending a couple visits and adding an additional visit at the end.

Dawn was great with our cats. She sent great updates with videos and dealt with some vomit. And when we thought we may not make it back the day we were supposed to die to flight delays, she was very accommodating and said she'd do a visit the next day if we needed it despite being booked up.

Dawn took amazing care of our two cats while we were gone. She went above and beyond to play with them, give medications, and clean up after a marking incident. Will definitely book again!

Dawn was amazing! My shy and anxious orange boy took to her immediately. Food and litter were taken care of and left clean and perfect for when I arrived back home. She provided updates and pictures everyday and I highly recommend her to anyone.

Dawn is great, we will keep re-booking! She takes great care of our cats, is an expert at getting the grumpy one to take his meds, and makes sure they get lots of affection when we're gone.

Dawn was amazing with my cat Pablo! She was on time, easy to work with, and always made sure to snap a picture each day to give me peace of mind. She also did a great job cuddling with Pablo, who appreciated it very much as he’s a very friendly and physical cat. 10/10, I’d love to work with Dawn again in the future!

Dawn was so great with our cats, including one very finicky tortoiseshell, and sent THE BEST photos! She made us feel at ease while traveling, and kept our cats healthy and happy.

Dawn was awesome with my cats, even my super skittish one! I received cute photos and videos and felt relieved knowing my cats were in good hands. I’d definitely book again!!

This was my first experience on Meowtel/with a catsitter while I was traveling. Dawn was such a pleasure to meet and provided updates every day about how Sunny was doing. I felt at ease knowing someone like Dawn was checking in on my old man! Thanks so much, Dawn!

Dawn is really flexible and super kind. My shy cats got along with her, and I am so glad that they liked to interact with Dawn!

The cats loved her again on this very quick trip! She left the house cleaner than when we left. Good communication.

Dawn was great! I appreciate that she sent us photos of our cats. It was very easy to get in touch with her (in the app) and we would definitely book her again!

I have booked Dawn several times now and she’s amazing! She makes sure to keep us updated and I always feel more comfortable knowing she’s there to take care of our cats.

Dawn was reliable, communicative, and proactive about updating us and managing the cats. She was fantastic and we will definitely be using her services again. I highly recommend her.

Dawn made our first Meowtel experience a total breeze! Super professional, proactive, and just a delight to work with.

Dawn took great care of my kitties while I was away, with photos and updates. I recommend Dawn and would definitely reserve her again.

Great! Dawn was fantastic with Peaches.

Excellent & timely communication. Loving and caring person. My Midnight 🐈‍⬛ loved her.

always goes above and beyond :)

Dawn is an incredibly caring person, especially when it comes to animals. She gives 110% for every animal and is always ready to go out of her way to give them special care. To her, it's not "extra work" but what the animal deserves. She is also very kind and professional.

Dawn not only rescued the abandoned kitten I eventually adopted, but she is also my most often used cat sitter and mentor / guide for cat knowledge based on her years of experience with a number of her own cats!

Dawn is a background-checked cat sitter in the Oakland area. Their profile has been verified and their references have been checked by Meowtel.
