Pet care experience

Make your time away stress free

I know that often the least stressful place for a pet is in their own home. When you are away you should not have to worry about how your pet is adapting to a new environment. Rest easy. I can stay with your pet, maintain existing exercise and feeding schedules. This can involve over night stay, walking, and potty breaks through the day. Whatever your pet is accustomed to when you are at home. Cats and dogs of all types and sizes!

Safety, trust & environment

I have separate fenced areas on the property for outdoor play - so your pet will be safe yet have room to play fetch, roam about. If we are at your home, I am happy to play outside with your pet or go for walks if that is something your pet enjoys.

Rufous the cat clearly loves Dawn. Maybe more than me! :-)

I don't think anyone could fill Dawn's shoes. She has captured both my heart as well as Nala's. Dawb is amazing

It was great to have Dawn over again to care for our pup. Dawn responded within minutes of our plea for help. Her good humor and love of animals shines through. We'd recommend her to anyone!

We had to leave town urgently and Dawn stepped in last minute to watch our 3 cats, including two high-energy kittens! She always takes excellent care of our fur family 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Dawn is the best! Our dogs love her, and it helps to know they're in good hands when we leave. Dawn sends pictures and updates, which we love.

Schedule

I have a flexible schedule and can be available throughout the week for your fur kid”s needs. We also have a large home and if your dog is social/comfortable around other dogs and homes, they can come stay with me. We have multiple fenced areas around our home for good outdoor play plus a spacious open floor plan for indoor shenanigans and separate down time areas as needed. I enjoy for pets of friends and family while they are away. If I can make their pets happy, I know everyone will be happy and enjoy their time away. For many years I have pet sit in my home or in the home of others - taking care of their pets in the “style they are accustomed”. It give me great satisfaction to have parents return to happy, tired pets.

It’s good to know what your dog is like - do they like other dogs, other people. Are they home bodies or do they love to get out an explore. Activity level is important to understand. My dogs are very active but not all dogs are. Are there special food needs/things to avoid/medicines Does your dog react poorly to thunderstorms? Mine does so I know to make sure he is in his safe space with calm music and a blanket. In general, let me know what would make your pet happy which you are not with them so that I can make them as comfortable and happy as possible. I have traveled much over the years and I know it can be unnerving to leave your pets in the care of another. There is never too much information shared!
