Taking care of dogs is my passion!

Pet care experience

I have a great desire to give special attention to all dogs, so that they will have the opportunity to feel loved and cared for and treated like one of my own. I loved having my own dog boarding and training facility. It was a joy to keep them safe and happy with lots of playtime, cuddles and hugs. I am also certified as a dog trainer by The Animal Behavior College in Ca. I specialize in training puppies and helping people with any puppy challenges like housebreaking, crate training, etc. I am happy to help getting their home ready for a puppy. I can help by putting a plan in place designed to meet the needs for each home, puppy and new puppy parents needs. Bringing a puppy home is a very special and exciting time for the family or individual but it can have its challenges. I've raised many puppies and have learned from all these experiences. Finally, I volunteered in foster care and rehabilitated dogs for West Valley Humane Society by addressing behavioral problems so they could become more adoptable by training them and getting them prepared for their new home with successful results

We have found Dawn to be very good with our dogs! More important than that, she has proven herself to be honest, trustworthy and willing to go the extra mile to ensure our dogs health and happiness while we are away.

Dawn's stay with Eowyn went really well. Eowyn had not been left at all so this was Eowyn's first time with a dog sitter at age 5. She looked happy in all the photos Dawn sent, and was glad to see us when we returned but doesn't exhibit any anxious behaviors. The house was in perfect shape, too. I would definitely use Dawn again!

Dawn provided wonderful care for Sargent and also was very considerate about how she left my home. She sent pictures and updates on how my boy was doing while I was away which I totally appreciated. I will be asking her back. Thank you for putting my mind at ease and taking such great care of my baby!

Information Dawn H. would like to know about your pet

If the dog has any aggression or anxious behavior such as fear biting. I want to know what the dogs favorite toys and games are. If the dog needs certain assurances to feel comfortable with me. What their feeding schedule and needs are. What are there exercise needs. Do they need medication? Are they allowed chew toys and what kind. Who their vet is and if their are any health issues to be concerned about. Are they comfortable around other dogs and people.Are they timid or well socialized? What makes them feel most safe and happy?

A typical day

I love to play fetch, tug of war, with lots of cuddles and playtime. I love to go to the dog park but I am not a dogwalker. I'm happy to help with small household tasks.
