Pet care experience
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.

Dawn was incredible for Mables first doggy daycare!! Quick on communication and even sent me some photos and videos while I was away which was an added bonus!! We can't wait for Mables next visit!!
My experience with Dawn caring for my pets was one of the most personable and professional services I have encountered in this industry that I find myself needing support with often. She scheduled a meet and greet with my GSD and my Labradoodle before accepting the task of boarding them the day before I needed her services. Dawn also appears to volunteer a lot of her time at various shelters or places an animal or establishment needs help. So its not about the money with her. She has a genuine passion caring for animals. Unfortunately, she noticed a possible health concern with my 7 year old German Shepherd that I missed being it was the early stages of his condition. This was on a Thursday around 7pm and she took it upon herself to rush me a veterinarian appointment the following day by noon. My buddy has a terminal situation but her awareness gave me more time to comfort and extend time with my guy and improve his quality of life for the short time I have left with him. Dawn is who you want if you have the opportunity to book her services.
Dawn provides a safe, caring and fun environment while she pet sits my puppy. She is dependable & trustworthy and is our puppy's home away from home.
We absolutely love Dawn. Molly and Titus is so happy when they visit her. Dawn was amazing she accommodated us last minute and my Molly was not feeling well that day but she took so good care of her. Thank you Dawn that we can trust you with our pawbabies they are always happy, taken care off and loved. We appreciate you! And we highly recommend Dawn.

Information Dawn B. would like to know about your pet
Before we start, I'd love to learn more about your furry family member. Here are a few things that would be helpful: Do they have any existing medical conditions or allergies? Are they on any medications? Are there specific dietary restrictions or preferences? Do they have any mobility issues or special needs? Are there any known behavioral quirks or triggers I should be aware of? How would you describe their temperament and social behavior around other pets, people, and kids? We'll have a thorough chat to ensure you and your pet are comfortable, and we're all set for the best care possible.
A typical day
