Safety, trust & environment

I have plenty of space and some hiding spots for your pet to feel right at home. Whether my home or yours, I will make sure their routine is followed.

Information Dawn M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know special requirements or needs that your dog or cat has so I can accommodate accordingly. I want to make sure your pet has all the proper care. Please note: If boarding of cat(s) are needed, I request that their shots are up to date and have tested negative for FIV and FeLV if older than 6 months, for I have 2 cats of my own.

A typical day

I will make sure to play and care for your dog or cat the same way you do. Your pet will be in good hands and will enjoy their new friend. I will take your dog on walks in locations to their liking or explore new adventures! There will be plenty of playtime and love.

Pet care experience

I have loved animals my whole life. My first dog taught me love and protection. Fell in love with all things furry (and some not) ever since!

We really appreciated Dawn caring for our boys. We got regular updates and pictures. She played with them and gave them love. Thanks Dawn! We would recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a good reliable sitter.
