Dawn was so amazing watching our two girls while we were out of town for a wedding! Our dogs fell in love with her and little jack right away. We got so many pictures of them on walks and playing with so many doggy friends every day! She especially did an amazing job handling our high energy puppy. She is definitely a pro at what she does. They dogs came home so happy and tired from the amazing weekend they had. They also somehow stayed so clean, even with the muddy weather! We will be booking with her again in the coming weeks! Thank you again Dawn!!

Dawn was great about giving me updates on Kona throughout her stay! Also was flexible with the drop off & pick up time which I really appreciated :) Would book again!

Dawn took such wonderful care of Marcel! Such a lovely handful of other pups to play with kept her social and happy. She came home exhausted from having so much fun.

We have nothing but good things to say about Dawn. This was our first time using Rover for boarding, but Dawn reassured us and took great care of Poncho. She was understanding and aware of his recent medical needs. Poncho got great socialization with Dawn as she would bring him and the crew on many outings. We have even seen some improvement in Poncho's approach towards other pups since he's been home. Thank you, Dawn!!

Dawn was amazing with our pup Ozzie!! We had a last minute booking request for a holiday weekend, and luckily Dawn was available and so accommodating. She helped work with our schedule for pickup and dropoff, was responsive and easy to communicate with. Ozzie loved his stay! Dawn sent us pictures every night of what they had gotten up to throughout the day, which definitely put our worried pet-parent minds at ease when we could see how happy and well-taken care of he was :) We didn't have to worry about Ozzie at all throughout our trip as we knew he was in such kind and experienced hands. Ozzie had a blast at Dawn's, and we will definitely be reaching out to Dawn again for boarding in the future :))
