This is Dawn Olson, CPPS, owner and operator of DPC and one of her pets, Hopi, a Siamese mix. Dawn moved to Colorado in 1987 from Juneau, AK to attend Bel-Rea Institute of Animal Technology. After graduating with an Associated Degree in Applied Science, passing the state exam she began her career as a Certified Veterinary Technician. After several negative experiences with pet boarding she decided to launch Distinctive Pet Care in 1995, and it became her full-time job in nine months, hiring her first sitter one year later. Wanting to have more influence in the Littleton pet community she purchased the Ken Caryl Laund-Ur-Mutt in 2005. She is committed to helping pet owners learn the most practical and best ways to enjoy their pets and give them the best care possible.
**In March of 2011, Dawn became a certified American Red Cross Pet First Aid Instructor!!**
Distinctive Pet Care Mission:
To offer an alternative to pet care that not only offers benefits to pets and their owners but creates a relationship based on trust and education to teach pet owners to be the best they can be!

Debbie Hall lives in Littleton with her husband, son and her Golden, Callie. Debbie's love for animals has been lifelong influenced by her dad who was a government veterinarian. Debbie has a college degree in zoology and has owned and trained several horses and dogs as well as cats and even a parrot! Debbie joined DPC in September of 2008 and quickly became a valuable part of our pet sitting family. She is very detail-oriented following instructions carefully and will treat your pet as if they were on their own vacation by pampering and spoiling them! Debbie also does quite a few daily mid-day dog walks and is trained to give pet medications including insulin and SQ fluid therapy. You will be lucky to have Debbie as your pet sitter!
**In October of 2011, Debbie became American Red Cross Pet First Aid Certified!

Besides taking care of animals, I enjoy gardening, fishing, reading, Denver sports, computers, my family, and chasing deer and elk out of my yard.
