🐶😺Loves cuddlebugs of all sizes!!

I've been fortunate to have several great dogs in my life, over the past 14 years. My folks had a golden retriever Mikey with short, stubby legs and he ran like the wind! He was such a cuddlebug and I used to walk him - with my folks, too. Then there's Saber, my partner's family black lab. She was a cuddlebug, too, and I regularly took care of her when her mama and dada were out of town. We walked, we cuddled, she got so many ear rubs!! I even took her to the vet on several occasions when she wasn't feeling well and gave her multiple, overlapping oral medicines. I feel comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes — and I have a lot of great experience with medium, large, and giant dogs. I'm also adaptable and flexible for caring for small dogs, since I have a calm and gentle demeanor.

Safety, trust & environment

I love dogs, although we don't have our own, yet. We live in an apartment, so I'll come to you to walk your dog and give them cuddles and kind words!

Dawn has been amazing! I’m not sure my dogs even want us back! She went above and beyond and cared for our complex dogs!

Dawn was GREAT! I think we are in trouble because our got more love and attention from her than us … haha!!! Very attentive, responsive and daily updates with pictures were a nice touch. Would highly recommend her and 100% use her again.

Dawn was amazing. She matched her energy to my cat and really made her comfortable. She has a really calm presence that my cat definitely appreciated. I will definitely use her again.

Oh my gosh, Dawn is an absolute superhero - when she got locked out of the apartment she persevered, took wonderful care of Roo and just had a positive attitude throughout while effectively communicating each step of the way. Would absolutely hire Dawn again!!

I'm willing to work with you and your dog (your cuddlebug!!) to meet you both where you're at. Need low key playtime? Done. Need hiking trails – or level terrain? Done. I know first-hand how helpful it can be to show understanding to others, so I have a flexible, positive attitude and I'm willing to work with you.
