Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawsitive Vibes, Tail-Wagging Times
For more than 15 years, I've immersed myself in every aspect of animal care and advocacy, giving me unique advantages that benefit both pets and their owners. Shelter Experience: I've dedicated countless hours to volunteering in private and municipal shelters, where I've worn many hats, including providing administrative support, walking dogs, organizing adoption events, fostering animals, and guiding new adopters through their pet-related inquiries. This hands-on experience has given me a profound understanding of the challenges and joys of pet ownership. Personal Farm: On my private farm, I care for a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, sheep, and pigs. This has provided me with invaluable hands-on experience in tending to the specific needs of various animals. Every creature, big or small, deserves exceptional care. Veterinary Background: My experience as a vet tech and receptionist has given me an insider's perspective on pet healthcare. I've provided relief help at a veterinary office, which means I'm well-versed in administering medications, recognizing signs of distress, and ensuring the well-being of animals in my care. Animal Behavior and Training: My dedication to understanding animal behavior and training is evident in my studies and active contributions to dog training efforts. I understand the nuances of canine behavior and can tailor my approach to each pet's unique needs. Owned Boarding Kennel: I also own my own boarding kennel. I loved what I did but could not do the winters. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Non-Profit Commitment: I also work from home for a non-profit organization focused on helping dogs in shelters. This commitment reinforces my passion for the welfare of animals and my desire to make a positive impact on their lives. My extensive background and dedication to animals make me stand out as a pet sitter who cares profoundly and possesses the knowledge and skills to ensure the best possible care for your beloved pets. I treat each pet as my own, providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment during their time with me.

Ratings and reviews
Dawn was great with my pup. He was very happy when I picked him up! I would highly recommend her and plan on using her services again.
We had a wonderful experience with Dawn! She took excellent care of our dogs over the weekend, and we couldn't be more pleased. She always arrived on time, and made sure to keep us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs seemed to really enjoy their time with her, and we could tell she gave them plenty of attention and love. We will definitely be booking her again in the future!
Highly recommend Dawn.
Dawn did great looking after our black mouth cur dog, Clyde. It was our first time boarding Clyde so we didn't know how he would react and driving away the day of drop off was heartbreaking for both Clyde and us. Dawn sent us daily updates on how he was doing along with photos and a video which gave us comfort in knowing he was doing just fine in our absence. Dawn seemed to get along quite well with Clyde so now we have a trusted resource for boarding which will make our future trips a lot easier. Thanks Dawn!
Dawn has truly been a life saver! She’s punctual, a great communicator, and great with the pups! She's become my pups new best friend and even brings the treats!! 😊 Will definitely continue rebooking with Dawn.
Dawn was again absolutely incredible for Mables stay. The communication was great, and she sent some pictures to keep me updated! Mable will definitely be returning for a visit!

In my home, we prioritize our furry friends, whose well-being is at the forefront of our daily schedule. I understand that consistency is crucial for pets, and I'm dedicated to providing a stable and loving environment during their stay with me. Whether feeding, exercise, playtime, or simply offering a warm lap to curl up on pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities, and I'm committed to making sure they feel right at home.
