Safety, trust & environment

When I care for your pet, my goal is for them to maintain the same schedule/routine and feel just as loved, as if you were right there with them the whole time.

Information Dawn M. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs or requests regarding your pal's demeanor and/or fear/anxiety will be good to know ahead of time, however there is nothing I cannot accommodate.

A typical day

We will run, jump, and play fetch. We will walk, run, or ride the long board down to the nearest park, or hang out in the back yard for some sunbathing. Playing hide and seek and belly rubs are fun passtimes, as well.

Pet care experience

I will show your pet an amazing time! I am very patient with all pets and make sure they are comfortable and safe in every situation. I pay close attention to each pet's mannerisms to ensure the most fun. I will also take your pup for a run and give him/her a bath, if you'd like! I will accommodate any requests to the best of my ability. I have been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life and truly believe this world is much better with our furry pals. Our best friends deserve the best care and attention possible. Your peace of mind is also of the utmost importance! I will send you regular updates and pictures so you know your little buddy is feeling right at home. For whatever you and your pet need, I'm your gal!

Really great to have Dawn look after our puppy today. Dawn was accommodating and I could tell she loves dogs. Sheplayed with her while we were out for awhile and our puppy was happy ,non stressed and tired upon our return. .

Dawn did a great job with Max as he gets anxious when we leave but she handled him with loving care. She is very reliable and very sweet. Would love to have Dawn sit again for Max.

Dawn took fantastic care of not just my cat, but our house as well. She was very communicative, easy to work with, and I could see in the photos that my cat was happy and well looked after.
