C & L’s Cozy Dog Retreat

Pet care experience

I am insured through Pet Sitters Associates. I have 2 pups Chip & Lucy ages 11 & 8 that I have raised from puppies. Many of my friends have dogs and they frequently come over. I also enjoy riding horses when I can. I have experience with working with anxious dogs & dogs in shelters also (as a volunteer). I love to take dogs for walks, to play with them & give them attention. I limit the amount of dogs I take at any given time so each pup gets lots of individual attention. You can see some of the dogs I have walked/played with in my profile pictures. I’m frequently in the Chestertown area and am more than happy to help with your pet sitting needs. I offer drop off and pick up of your pups for boarding.

It gives me peace of mind to know that whenever I go away my fur baby will be very well cared for by Dawn.

Dawn did a great job looking after my 5 year old lab. I would recommend her to anyone.
