Pet care experience

Friendly and outgoing

With over 65 5-star reviews, I take pride in providing attentive, loving, and reliable care for every dog that comes into my home. I treat all guest dogs like family—offering plenty of personal attention, playtime, and comfort while closely following your specific routines and instructions so your pet feels right at home. I am deaf, so please don't be startled when we meet! I can lip-read if you speak slowly and clearly, and I speak okay as well. If there is ever anything we don't understand, we can easily text each other! ​My family and I are home most of the time, meaning your dog will never be left alone for long (1 to 4 hours maximum if we step out). We offer a cozy, loving environment with plenty of space to roam inside and a fully fenced backyard for daily play. Doggy Daycare & Boarding: Hosted in a quiet, safe neighborhood. Includes a fully fenced yard, outdoor fans to keep pups cool during Texas heat, external security cameras, and filtered water to care for your dog's skin and hydration. ​Walks & Drop-In Visits: Neighborhood walks around your block or mine (typically a comfortable 1-mile / 20-minute route tailored to your dog's pace). ​Constant Care: Frequent potty breaks every 2–4 hours, constant access to fresh water, and furniture-friendly lounging spots indoors.

Dawn has watched Wallie many times. Wallie enjoys going to see Dawn as she is always kind and loving. We have been nothing but pleased and happy with her care of Wallie and responsiveness to us.

I cannot thank Dawn enough for the incredible care she provided for my dog, Gucci. Gucci has cancer and requires a lot of extra attention, but Dawn handled her special needs flawlessly. She was extremely responsible with administering Gucci's medications on time and made sure she was comfortable, safe, and loved throughout her stay. It is incredibly hard to leave a sick pet behind, but Dawn gave me complete peace of mind. Her compassion, attentiveness, and gentle approach are unmatched. I highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!

My Maddy is an older boxer dog and very difficult. Dawn took care of her as best as one can do. She was fine and came home happy.
