Pet care experience
Tail wags guaranteed
Hi, I'm Dawn, and I'd love to welcome your dog into my home while you're away. As a lifelong dog lover and owner of a friendly young Sprocker Spaniel, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust. My aim is to provide a safe, calm and loving home where your dog will be treated like one of the family—not just another booking. Your dog will enjoy plenty of walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and attention, along with a comfortable place to relax after a fun day. I'll stick to your dog's usual routine as much as possible to help them feel settled and happy. I'm experienced in caring for others through my professional background in training and care, and I bring that same patience, reliability and attention to detail to looking after every dog. Whether your dog is energetic and loves adventures or prefers a slower pace, I'll make sure they receive the care that's right for them. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, safe and well cared for. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged friend!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I couldn’t recommend Dawn highly enough as a pet sitter. She is kind, patient and genuinely loves animals, and it shows in the way she cares for her own dog, Star, who is incredibly well looked after and clearly adored. Dawn is reliable, trustworthy and I know she would always put any dog’s wellbeing first, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I would have complete confidence leaving my own dog in her care, knowing they would be treated as if they were one of her own. Any dog would be lucky to spend time with Dawn.
Dawn has proved to be very popular with my Irish Setters!. Dawn has looked after them at short notice in our home and they have also been to her house. Dawn is capable of managing medication and special diets as needed. Dawn sends photos and videos of them whilst in her care which is always good to see them having a nice time. I would 100% recommend Dawn to anyone wanting help with there dogs.

Schedule
Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending my time with my own dog. My Sprocker Spaniel is a much-loved part of the family and loves spending tine with other dogs, so our days already revolve around walks, playtime, training, enrichment and plenty of cuddles. I work flexibly, which means I can provide lots of company, regular toilet breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. I enjoy getting outdoors whatever the weather, so your dog will receive the exercise and mental stimulation they need, balanced with time to relax in a calm, comfortable home. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved and included, so when your dog stays with me, they'll be treated as part of the family and cared for just as I care for my own. On the odd day that I have to attend my physical work place, my partner, Neil, works from home so the dogs are never left on their own.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My priority is making sure your dog feels safe, relaxed and loved. I'll take the time to get to know your dog's routine, personality and any specific needs so I can provide care that's familiar and reassuring. I have a fully enclosed garden and live close to the beach as well as several nice dog walking areas so every trip out is an adventure. I'll ensure they have regular walks, plenty of playtime, fresh water, meals according to your instructions, and lots of affection and companionship. I'll also keep up with any training routines, medication or special requirements if needed. If your dog stays in my home, they'll be welcomed as part of the family in a calm, comfortable environment with plenty of attention and opportunities to rest, play and explore. If I'm caring for them in your home, I'll stick as closely as possible to your dog's normal routine to help them feel settled while you're away. I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe and receiving the same love and care I'd want for my own.

A typical day
Star usually has three walks a day - morning, mid day and evening. We choose different routes/places each time so every walk is fun. In between walks we have a mixture of relax time, training and enrichment.
