Dogs are our family!
Pet care experience
I provide daycare and overnight, run out of an apartment in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Your dog will be able to be socialized with other animals and receive round-the-clock care. I have over 10 years of veterinary care experience from working in various clinics in California and New York. Our home is clean, spacious, and comfortable, with multiple dog beds, couches, chairs, and human beds for pets to reside on. We stick to any food and medication schedule you may have, and I can also give oral and injectable medications and fluids. We can't wait to treat your baby like one of ours!! We also take care of large dogs and felines in their homes. We are available however long you need a sitter for. Raised in California, I have had animals my whole life, and have been petsitting since the age of 12. At 16, I became a manager at a local pet store, where I played with puppies and kittens all day long! In college, I left the pet store and volunteered in the "Cat House" at the local no-kill shelter, and started employment at the largest veterinary clinic in Southern California, where once again, I got to play with doggies and kitties all day long, and learn a few things about taking care of them. At 23, I moved to New York, and took a job as a receptionist in a busy Brooklyn veterinary office and began to pet sit full time, fulfilling a dream of mine to work with animals all day, every day. I currently live in Prospect Lefferts Gardens with 3 small dogs, 2 cats, and 1 human husband. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life. As a kid I used to move around a lot, so the way everyone in my family would meet our neighbors w by me hanging out outside our house after school and meeting all the neighborhood dogs when they were going for their walks! I've worked with dogs in some capacity for longer than I can remember. Meet my pets Sylvester, a playful Papillion mix Rocky, a laid back 3-pound senior Yorkie Anya, a sweet, playful Pomimo Noah, a very laid back tabby Walter, a playful, loving orange tabby About my yard I live on a tree-lined street. No yard, but the street is quiet, clean, and offers plenty of trees. I also live 10 minutes from Prospect Park.
Reviews
Byron had a wonderful stay with Dawn. It's safe to say Byron's mama and I spoil him and love him to bits. It's hard for us to part with the little guy, but Dawn really made us feel comfortable as Byron got to know her pets. They played well and Dawn loves animals so much. Byron greeted us on pick-up with a big smile and was in a great mood the whole walk home. I look forward to letting Byron soak in the love and kindness of Dawn. As an example of how great she is: we forgot his dinner (wet) food: not to worry, Dawn had extra on hand! She handles all the details and when it comes to your loved creatures that's the what you hope for!
Dawn is a phenomenal, pet-loving woman with a heart of gold. She treats your pet with the utmost respect and loves it to pieces. She watched my beagle, Molly for a couple of nights. Not only was she flexible about the stay, she also acted like Molly was already part of the family. When I came to pick my dog up, she barely whimpered, which let's me know she had a great stay.
Dawn was wonderful, taking care of our pup for two weeks while we were out of the country. She kept us updated throughout the stay and took excellent care of our pup. It also doesn't hurt to have the added benefit of having your dog cared for by someone who works as a vet technician. It adds a level of comfort, especially to a long stay.
My dog Lucky enjoys her time at Dawn's. Dawn is very professional and responsible and takes great care of Lucky while I am out of town. She sends pictures and updates of how Lucky is doing. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!!

Information Dawn F. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if the dog(s) are good with other dogs and cats. I also need to know if there are any special needs or medications.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I live about a 10 minute walk from a Prospect Park, so if the weather is nice, we'll go there. Otherwise, I live on a quiet street tree lined street that we can take long walks on. We'll walk for as little or as long as your pup wants!! Your dog's sleeping arrangement If you are more comfortable with your dog sleeping in a crate or kennel, they can sleep there, but we love having cuddle buddies in bed with us! We also have multiple dog beds and a very comfy couch for them to nap on! Time I'll spend with your dog Between my fiancé and I, 10-24 hours a day, dependent on the day and who is working that day
