Information Dawn M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior that I can account for. Medications needed or allergies to be aware of.

A typical day

I have a fenced yard on 3 acres of puppy fun!! This is a full and private dog park that is never unattended by me. Lots of fun and games to be had indoors and outdoors. A tired dog is a happy dog!! We do lots of obedience work indoors - just for the fun of it!

The Best Doggy Care Ever!!

Pet care experience

Going away? Need someone to look after your babies while you're gone? and not only look after them but give them the best doggy care they'll ever have!? I have been taking care of animals and especially dogs for yeeeears!! I train, can train for anything!! Lots of games to keep them active - hide and seek, find the ball, fetch, tug of war, brain games such as figuring out how to get a ball out of a box and so on.. I also massage for bad hips, sore muscles, anxiety, and just a long day at the dog park. Your babies will never be better taken care of!! They will come home happy, and ready to come back whenever you need to go out of town again. The only thing I ask - if I have the opportunity to board your fur baby, please ensure that he/she is clean or at least smells clean!! :) Thank you!!

Pearl absolutely loves Dawn and I always feel like she's so well cared for! Lucky to have her!

Once again, Dawn exceeded our expectations with her care for Timber at our house. Despite the frigid temperatures and excessive snow, she was able to get him out for walks and playtime. She also saved the day when an ice dam began leaking water into our home. We cannot thank her enough for all she did for us and especially Timber.
