home FT; fenced yard/agility TLC!

Pet care experience

We offer CRATE-FREE boarding and love / treatment like family, lots of fun and playtime and cuddles like you would give! 85% of our business is return clients (thank you!). *** PICKUP AND DROP-OFF HOURS ARE 9AM - 9PM - 7 DAYS A WEEK. *** I've taken care of pets since I was a child, and have had gerbils, dogs, cats & horses all my life. As a teen I became a “cat doula” for the horse barn cats - convincing my parents I needed to bring them home to my *bedroom* for their kitten birth process and safety (they don’t let me forget that)! ;-) I've always been animal crazy for dogs especially - including taking fun training classes like Agility and basic Obedience / Doggo Manners, and making homemade “Frosty Paws” and puzzle / mind games, and an agility / obstacle course I personally built. I take my dog Sasha out and about or to the dog park so *I* can enjoy all the other animals too and see their funny quirks and personalities. I especially like to help the "nervous Nellie" dogs (or owners!) as I've rescued a few of those myself. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart as well. I’m comfortable giving special medicine / food and have administered injections (Adequan, etc) to dogs, cats and horses. As a clairvoyant / empath I pay very close attention to animal behavior to make sure nothing is hurting or bothering them. I love to keep dogs so busy and happy they won’t have a minute to be anxious, so that you can relax knowing your dog is in good loving hands. I’m an open and clear communicator and will send texts / pictures / video so you can see how much fun your dog is having (see my profile photos!). Thank you for considering us - we take it seriously.

Dawn took such great care of our dog Benny! She sent us cute videos of him playing with her pup and he always looks so happy and healthy. She even makes him homemade pup treats! We miss him when he is not with us but we know he is in good hands and enjoying his time with Dawn.

I would like to know everything there is to know about your dog - things they like or don’t like, behavior or training issues, concerns the owners may have, etc, to give the best stay possible. I have a high/privacy fenced yard that is a doggie heaven to play in, a doggie door (for those inclined) and my sweet 42 lb mostly Aussie Cattle dog 10.5 yr old spayed female that would LOVE to play with your dog (pending your desires and their personality match), a full agility course if you would like your dog to get some mental and physical stimulation, and frisbee / ball fetching / water hose games– whatever your dog loves to do. Overnight dog stays can sleep wherever they'd like – I have many dog beds, a comfy couch, etc – whatever makes your dog happy. WE DO NOT USE CRATES, but we have a medium-sized crate if your dog TRULY prefers that.

Information Dawn G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog's general behavioral quirks (good and bad), anything that makes them nervous, things you'd like me to work on them with, any special dietary needs or allergies, current medications, and any other special considerations. We both win if your dog is happy!

A typical day

I love to keep dogs active and their minds and body busy (if they are healthy and able) - we'll play games in the yard like fetch and agility, go for walks to all the many parks and lakes around me, and mental stimulation games. I have many dog beds so they can nap whenever and wherever they choose.

I’m a mostly-retired self-employed internet entrepreneur, so I’m home FT with lots of time to play with and give TLC to your furkids. If I have to run out for an errand my live-in boyfriend will likely be here as well - he LOVES dogs and is fantastic with all types of dogs – basically a “Dog Whisperer”. We are very outdoorsy and love to take dogs for hikes and walks around the many lakes near us, and we are also outside enjoying our big fenced yard and the expansive deck and garden as much as possible.
