Pet care experience

Providing lots of Love & Cuddles!

I have been a dog owner for over 25 years, as well as a puppy foster for the past 10 years with the organization PetPromise. I provide a home full of love and play for dogs of all ages! Because I've fostered so many very young puppies (4 weeks to 7 months), I'm prepared to help with all types of training, including potty training. You can be secure in the knowledge that your pup will be safe and given lots of love and cuddles during their stay with me! We had to say good-bye to Santo, our 15 year old pup in 2020. He was with me his whole life and is missed every day! Because our home felt too empty without him, we welcomed Gracie, a Chihuahua mix into our family in February, 2021. She is shy at first, but once she warms up she loves to run and play with her new Rover friends!

Dawn took such loving care of our dog, Rooster. She made him part of her family and sent many pictures and updates, which was so reassuring. We are so grateful for her exceptional care of him!

Schedule

I work part time and my husband works from home so your pup will have lots of attention throughout the day! When we have to run out they will have the run of the house, or join us on our errands.

Safety, trust & environment

We don't have a fenced yard, but we have a large lanai so that they can get some fresh air anytime they want. They will never be outside unsupervised! We also live in a very walkable neighborhood, so they will get lots of exercise!

Pets

Weather permitting, they will enjoy walks around the neighborhood or local parks. If we're stuck inside, they will have toy and ball play as well as lots of cuddles!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Non-neutered males accepted, spayed females only
No females in heat
Dawn can host up to 1 pet per night
Small breeds are preferred, but I can accommodate almost any size. I would like to know their likes/dislikes, any "triggers" that upset them, and how they interact with people visiting the home and with other dogs, especially seniors. Tell me everything you can to make your pets stay more fun for them!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
