Dawn’s Dawg House

Greetings from the Dawg House! I'm Dawn! I am semi-retired and work from home with my two Rescue Pups: Blanquita the mini poodle mix and Margo the pug! They are rescues from Mexico and both welcome all of our new friends at the Dawg House. I have 97 five star gold reviews and testimonials and many repeat customers. I provide 24 hour supervision and dogs are never left alone or crated (unless the dog is used to it and that is what the owner wants). All dogs are welcome to sleep with me. I will also come to your house for overnights with your furry friends because I know that some dogs and cats do better in their own home. I have experience with senior dogs, nervous and anxious dogs, dogs who suffer from separation anxiety as well as dogs who need medication. Dogs have full run of the house and are never left alone without prior approval from you.

Dawn was referred to me by a mutual friend. It was my first experience both leaving my 4 year old zuchon in a sitters home and with Rover. Dawn was great at communicating and providing updates. My little guy thrived on cuddles and love and is home safe and content. Thank you both, Dawn and Ken, for caring for my precious little guy.

Schedule

I provide 24 hour care and supervision. Dogs at my house get lots of love and attention: our day can include snuggles on the couch, people & animal watching out of the windows, or with your permission - car rides to local parks and beaches. Your pup will have freedom to roam in our apartment, finding what spots they find most comfortable. I have experience with seniors, nervous/ anxious dogs, separation anxiety, and giving medications to dogs.

What Dawn would like to know about your pet: Please let me know about your dog's personality & favorite activities!
