Pet care experience
Active, and reliable I grew up with a dog of my own and have always had dogs, cats, or other furry friends to give affection and attention to. I now have a 8 year old Yorkie mix who is my absolute best friend. I understand how important the well being and security of your canine companion is. I find sincere joy in devoting my time to owners who can use a helping hand (or a pair of walking legs). Despite the obvious job perks — aka “hanging out with dogs for money” — I take my responsibilities as a pet caregiver quite seriously. How can I care for your furry friend to best suit their needs and yours? Just reach out! — and feel free to share any special attention requests. responsibility and care. I currently have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care including some Saturdays or Sundays. I will always update my available schedule
Reviews
I highly recommend Dawn to watch and walk your dog baby. Have a six-month-old Frenchie puppy named Stella and needed to travel for business for a couple of days on short notice. Dawn was quick to respond, and my puppy liked her right away. Dawn gave me progress updates three times a day and I was able to focus on work without having to worry about my doggy. When I arrived home, the pup was happy and smelled good because Dawn had given her an oatmeal bath. She also recommended a type of feeder toy that I had not heard of, and Stella is enjoying one right now. Thanks Dawn!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Trust & safety is my top priority. I am a big proponent of Meet & Greets - though optional - since they’re a great way to know me and also ensure total compatibility! (I’ve yet to meet a dog I didn’t love, we’ll just ensure your pup’s alright with me, too.) When you get know me, you’ll quickly find that I’m truly passionate about dogs and providing the highest quality of care possible (1-1). During bookings, you can expect me to be highly communicative, adaptable, and thoughtful in meeting your needs and your pet’s. I hold myself to extremely high standards when it comes to your dog’s safety and happiness.
Information Dawn L. would like to know about your pet
Are there any medical or behavioral issues/concerns I should know about? Is your dog potty trained? Does your dog have any quirks I should know about (such as food aggression, etc.)
A typical day
I like to opt for frequent playtime, backyard time, walks around the neighborhood or in a nearby dog park, car rides (if they like those). Spending quality time with the pets I watch involves engaging activities like interactive play sessions and leisurely walks, ensuring both physical and mental stimulation for them. Whether it's a game of fetch or a cozy cuddle session, creating a joyful and comfortable environment is my priority.

Availability
I can be flexible for walks & drop-ins based on your needs — if you’re interested in recurring bookings, let’s chat more. For boarding, daycare & house sitting visits, you can expect me to be fully available during 100% of the stay. Walks and runs are my favorite part of my day! I’m available bright and early (8am-12pm) and in the afternoons 1pm-8pm. For boarding requests, please inquire about specific dates, and also refer to my calendaR
