Pet care experience
Respectful & Responsible Sitter
I like to think that among those to know me, I am the go-to animal sitter. I provide in-home boarding and doggy daycare as well travel to take care of friends’ and clients' furry family members. I frequently donate to local animal shelters and have hosted 'Dog Day Out' programs with local shelters. I have organized two TNR programs for feral cats. I have a lovely 11 year old lab mix and a 5 year old tabby cat. I live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of greenery and wooded areas. The following information applies to those interested in boarding their pooch at my home. My back yard is not fully enclosed fencing: however, there is a fully fenced, smaller side yard leading directly out from my den for early morning, before bedtime, and visits out throughout the day. Visitors receive no less than 2 walks a day as well as visits outside for sniff, potty, and play every 2-3 hours. If you are comfortable with your pup on a longer lead, they often spend more outside time with my dog while doing yard work in my unfenced areas as well as hanging out on my back patio. I spend a lot of time outdoors. Dogs are never, ever left unmonitored outside. Boarding visitors must be friendly with other dogs and acceptable of cats (I have one indoor / outdoor tabby cat who is very tolerant of dogs - he is used to many visitors! - but does not typically want to be up close). I also have a 95 lb big boy lab / hound mix named Otter who is 11 years old. He likes to sniff other pooches, make friends, and take walks with - then keep to himself otherwise and nap on his favorite bed.

Ratings and reviews
Dawn is very conscientious and we feel comfortable knowing our dog is well cared for when we are away.
Dawn took great care of Libby the cat. She even left some treats and a new toy. I hope she is available the next time we need drop in visits, we would definitely hire her again.
Dawn B. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Dawn is amazing! She provides updates with photos multiple times a day. My nervous pup had the time of her life!!
Dawn was a fantastic and reliable sitter for our two cats! Great at communicating and took care of everything the cats needed.
Dawn is absolutely the best! My dog Mayberry was so well taken care of and Dawn’s communication was top notch! Love her! Many thanks!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I am highly responsive to and careful of the specific needs and requirements of every visitor, including dietary needs, care, and visits out. I follow guidelines set in place by every pet parent and mimic your pet's home environment. If your pet is allowed on furniture, they are in my home as well. I never crate dogs unless specifically requested by you - most often for younger dogs still working on their potty skills, or older dogs who are most comfortable sleeping in their own space for bedtime. It brings me a lot of joy knowing that most dogs who have visited with me I will eventually see again: most of my visitors return!
Pets
A typical day
I love for dogs to have fun with me and to get the exercise, stimulation, and positive attention they require. Walks and play time are always a focus. There is a smaller, fenced side yard for early morning / late night visits, and pups receive no less than 2 walks each day with many visits outside to play throughout the entirety of the day.
