Her occupational background has been in Office Management, bookkeeping and accounting. She co-owned a moving and storage company for several years and enjoyed being a business owner.
Dawn shares her home with two wonderful kitties, Marty and Murphy.     |
"Dawn and her staff have been a wonderful resource. They are caring, reliable and
responsive, especially to Baby's (she's a senior) special needs. We particularly like Dawn's daily report card
summarizing what she and Baby did together. We highly recommend 'A Pet's Best Friend'."
|
 "Leaving our cats behind is always rough, but it's become a whole lot easier
since discovering A Pet's Best Friend. Dawn and her crew are everything we
want from a sitter: friendly, reliable and accommodating. The best part is
their detailed notes from each visit: It's clear that a bond has developed
between our cats and A Pet's Best Friend." |
 "My best friend is Pookie, and we are really glad that we can trust and count on
the folks at 'A Pet's Best Friend' to take such good care of Pookie and our house when we are away."
|
"My husband and I both work - sometimes long hours - and we feel so fortunate
to have found A Pet's Best Friend. We come home every day to a note from Erin or Maureen telling us how much fun Daisy
had on her walk or chasing squirrels in the back yard. I've been home on occasion when Erin arrives to walk Daisy, and
I've never seen Daisy so happy to see anyone! We've had many other dog walkers in San Francisco, but never found an
organization that takes such good care of our girl!"
|
 "Dawn has known Polo since he was about a year old. She lived across the hall
from us and Polo could usually sense Dawn walking outside in the hallway and would walk up to the door from the inside
wanting to go out. Even though Polo is usually quite particular with who he chooses to be friendly to, he has always had
a soft spot for Dawn. She's one of the few people he lets come up and play with him. He can obviously sense she has a love for animals."
|
 "Thanks for taking such good care of me when my family went on vacation. I had (almost) as much fun as they did, and I get fed too! They really appreciated your taking care of the mail and the plants, and things, and I'm glad you like all of us pets, not just "cats and dogs." See you soon, Love Pebbles." Turtle Owners are Gerry Alley and Lani Souw |
"If it were not for Dawn Hoover and her very excellent services to our household as 'A Pet's Best Friend,' I would be a nervous wreck! My husband and I must make frequent trips abroad. But -- we are both devoted to Prince Java, the little buff and black Tonkinese feline master of our house. The juxtaposition of these two facts means that, were it not for Dawn and her services, we would have to radically change our life style and simply stay home all the time. Dawn not only comes by to feed Java his daily fare, change his litter box, water the plants, pick up the mail, and check out the house for any irregularities, she also actually plays with Prince Java. In fact, I think Java has fallen quite in love with her! While we are away, she jots down a few journal-like entries detailing each visit. These are left on our kitchen counter for us to read when we return. If we request, she even e-mails us information. Neither my husband not I would hesitate a moment to give 'A Pet's Best Friend' our highest recommendation -- even to the Queen of England (should she ask!)." Sincerely, Cheryl and Warner North |
"Our kitties always seem more relaxed and pout less when Dawn has taken care of
them in our absence. "
|
"We didn't want to put our dog in a kennel, so we decided to give 'A Pet's Best Friend' a try. It worked out great! It was less stressful for our pet and the pet sitters leave a detailed daily log behind so you can read about what happened during your absence.
We have recommended A Pet's Best Friend to others and would definitely use them again."
|
"'A Pet's Best Friend' has been taking care of Phoenix and Faith for over four years.
They are special kitties who were feral and are very shy. They love Dawn and even let her feed them treats!
Dawn doesn't mind our requests to spoil them and our need for reassurance as worried parents."
|
"Dawn has been pet sitting for me for over three years now. She's done
a fantastic job every time and the animals love her.
She's also always accommodated last minute requests and is very
reliable. I highly recommend her."

Dawn Hoover was born and raised in San Francisco. She moved to San Mateo County in 1981 and presently lives in
Foster City. Dawn was a ballet dancer for twenty years and after retiring her toe shoes continued the next thirteen
years with jazz dance and aerobics.
Dawn has loved animals since childhood. She has volunteered at the Peninsula Humane Society, Pets in Need, and
Homeless Cat Network. When the opportunity to buy A Pet's Best Friend arose in 2001, it wasn't a difficult decision
for her to make. With her business and animal care backgrounds, A Pet's Best Friend was a perfect fit.
