Woman's best friend

I have a perfect set-up for dogs: fenced yard.Ilost my dog last year and miss my companion. I want to dog sit which will give me my "dog fix" while allowing me to vacation without the hassle of dog boarding myself. I love to have the dog ride in the car with me! After reading the book, "a dog's purpose", I really think my dog understood what I was saying to him. I also like a dog audience for my piano playing. It seems soothing to them. I believe it is necessary discipline your dog, as you do your children to teach them acceptable behavior. Gentle reminders and positive reinforcements

Dawn was the best dog sitter we ever had for Zoie. We didn't have to worry about Zoie she was in good hands!

Dawn was simply amazing! It was our first time leaving our boy and she definitely put our minds at ease. She sent me pictures every day and kept me updated with how he was doing. Dawn is such a kind and caring person. We would absolutely book with her again.

Dawn was so good with our Abby! We felt quite comfortable leaving our dog with her for 5 nights. Dawn sent us pictures and updates every day. She walked her regularly. No problems!

A typical day
