Miss Dawn’s house is our boys favorite vacation place. She treats these boys as her own! Makes sure the one boy gets his meds everyday. Sends photos and updates twice a day. They always have a wonderful time and I am worry free! A+++++ highly recommend!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dawn is simply the BEST dog sitter around, and we will not trust anyone else with our boys, Toby and Max! From the moment we found Dawn, we knew our pups were in the safest, most loving hands possible. She treats them like they’re her own, and you can tell she genuinely adores every dog in her care. Toby and Max always come home happy, well-loved, and practically glowing — which tells us everything we need to know. We have zero hesitation leaving our fur babies with her. Zero. If you’re looking for a dog sitter you can truly trust, look no further than Dawn. Just one piece of advice — BOOK EARLY! She is in high demand and for very good reason. Don’t wait until the last minute or you might miss out on the best dog sitter you’ll ever find. Thank you, Dawn, for everything you do for Toby, Max, and our whole family. We are so grateful for you! 🐾❤️

Dawn is the best. Nandor is a German Shepherd, APBT, Belgian Malinois (yes someone let that happen) mix, and he always comes home exhausted which is a real accomplishment. She takes THE best pictures and gives regular updates that really put you at ease. Nandor is always pumped when we show up there and in every photo it's clear he's having a blast. She and her husband are by far his favorite sitters, and I'm very grateful for her.

Dawn was amazing with our boys. They were so happy when we dropped them off enjoying the big yard. So many things to explore. The pictures through the day was a great comfort! I just know they can’t wait to go back!
