Stay with Gracie
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm a wife, mother, dog owner longer than 17 years. Our home provides a family atmosphere, fully fenced yard and room to play. Our first family dog we had about 15 years, she was a rescue dog, and so was our 2nd family dog. And finally our 3rd dog was a total surprise, and our first puppy about 7 weeks old when we got her, a tiny 3.5 lb Chihuahua that just turned our world upside down. We only have Gracie, our Chihuahua now, but each of our dogs have been wonderful additions to our family. When traveling we used dog boarding in three different places for our first dog and had a few ok experiences and some really awful ones. I thought the idea of having a guest dog in a home atmosphere, able to roam and play in fenced back yard, and personal attention sounded great and that's what I provide. My Rover business began in a different city where I had a wonderful clientele but we moved so I did take down pics from previous home which also had pics of Rover dogs I boarded in case you are wondering where the pics of other dogs have gone?
Reviews
Dawn was great! She handled our newly adopted and very nervous dog Pepper like a pro, and Pepper seemed to have loved her stay. Thanks!!
Dawn was awesome! She took care of our 7 month old puppy and gave us updates everyday. She was kind and caring!
Caring environment. My Cookie loves to go there!
Dawn took excellent care of our Cookie. We could tell she had a great time during her stay. She even ate which is something she often doesn’t do when we board her.. Dawn also didn’t have any problem giving her medication! Would highly recommend!

Information Dawn P. would like to know about your pet
All dogs must come to our home with a carrier or pen, collar, and leash, food and highly suggested a familiar toy or blanket. We have two dogs that live with us; part of our family and I may have other guest dogs staying over. If your dog has social issues getting along with other dogs that you are concerned about, while I can sympathize, it may be better for you to book a trial day by using my daycare services and see if things are a good fit. This is the solution I offer to nervous pet parents worried about leaving their dog overnight for an extended trip. A trial day allows me time to give attention to your dog in a home atmosphere but he/she gets to go back home later with you, no overnight, and you can (hopefully) make a better decision about booking your extended holiday away. Please consider, meet and greets are not a service, they are a courtesy that must work out schedule wise for the both of us and be five minutes tops, therefore, it's not a solution to ease your nerves for a dog with social issues, I cannot stress this enough.
A typical day
Dogs go out to large yard often where they can run, chase, breathe fresh air, roll in grass or get some rays and play fetch the ball/stick/Frisbee if they want to.
