Dawn was fantastic, DESPITE the poor service provided by Angie's List.  More on that in a moment.
Just three days before we were to leave on holiday, we were left in the lurch without a cat-sitter for our five fur-babies.  I was desperate!  And so, I joined Angie's List, hoping for help.
Dawn came through with an amazing clutch performance, not only taking excellent care of our "children," but reassuring us of her commitment to them before we left (with only one day to spare... talk about short-notice and no time for error!).
Also, while we were away, Dawn kept us posted via text messages, which was reassuring, as well.
However, my Angie's List service rep experience was not very good at all.  I only called Angie's List because I was desperate and believed the television commercials suggesting that I need not be a member to have Angie's List recommend/set us up with a provider for our needs.  Because many of the sites I use already offer free user/purchaser reviews, I did not see the value of paying for what I can get for free, but the ads suggested both that I need not be a member, and that the Angie's List would connect me to a well-reviewed service provider.  Ha!
My Angie's List telephone service rep, disabused me of the notion that I did not need to be a paying Angie's List subscriber; he further told me that he had at least six cat-sitters "in [my] zip code;" and-- after registering and taking membership payment from me --told me that he would send me their names and contact info.  He also told me that I would receive an email explaining to me how to log in and use the Angie's List features.
Well!
First, the "Welcome to Angie's List..." email was vague and gave me no info on how to access the account I had just purchased.  I was going to have to set-up an account for a membership I had just payed for and was under the impression I need only follow the instructions (of which there were none) in the email to do so.  And second, once I did figure out how to set-up my account and access it, I found no messages or emails from the service rep listing those six providers in my zip code.
And so, I tried to run my own searches for providers "within 10 miles of my zip code."  Eventually, I came up with four, EXCEPT that three of the four DID NOT SERVICE MY ZIP CODE, and it is only sheer luck that the one provider who did, turned out to be the WONDERFUL Dawn Owen of "A Waggin' Good Time!

I've used Dawn for about 2 1/2 years now and I wouldn't take my dog any where else.  She is very caring of the dogs in her care; she's very good with pick up and drop off times.  My dog would not survive staying in a kennel so I'm very grateful for the home service she provides.  My dog also likes to go to Dawn's house for "doggie" day care and play dates!

My daughter uses Dawn with a Waggin Good Time with her 3 BIG dogs and loves her. I used Dawns services for the first time while I visited my daughter . Dawn was friendly, obviously a dog lover and took our small dog inand treated her well for 5 days at a reasonable cost.
I would highly recommend her service.
