Pet care experience

Experienced and caring caregiver!

My animal career started 22 years ago while working at a boarding Kennel. Since that time I have worked in animal control as an officer and director. I went on to start my own boarding Kennel and decided to slow down a bit and move to Red Boiling Springs. I have cared for many animals of all types. Medication and health issues are no problem. I have also worked, and still do, with many rescues in many states. Also groomed dogs for 20 years. So I have extensive animal experience.

Can't say enough good things about Dawn and our boarding experience. I called her Mrs. Dr. Doolittle. With her vast animal experience and her love of animals it was quickly obvious that our 2 cats and dog were going to be cared for like we do. Dawn cares for rescued animals and has quite a few domesticated farm animals as well. Koda (our dog) enjoyed her walks among goats, mini cows and pigs. Dawn took pics and videos daily to assure we were comfortable with how our pets were adapting to a new environment. Koda is 5 and has never been away from us. I'm not sure she wanted to leave after a week with Dawn and her family. Great to have found someone like Dawn to care for our pets, knowing we can leave them in such good caring hands. Thank you to Rover for bringing this together and to Dawn and her family. Communication from Rover and Dawn was great. Dawn even had everything packed and ready in the driveway when we returned. I would recommend Dawn to anyone in the Red Boiling Springs TN area.

Dawn was absolutely AMAZING. You can tell she is very passionate about what she does. She sends you so many pictures of your pet so you know they are doing great and we REALLY appreciate that. If you ever want someone to watch your pet let it be her! we will 100% be having our dog come back here!

Safety, trust & environment

I have pets of my own dogs and cats and everyone is very friendly. If your pup doesn't get along with dogs or cats that's also OK. We can separate. I have a fenced in yard and over 6 acres to run and play and a lake across the street for walks.
