Pet care experience

Our family and I have lived with and cared for cats and dogs for most of our lives. We raised a beautiful pit bull rescue for 14 years and we have recently found ourselves pet free for the first time in a very long time! We are comfortable and can accommodate pups of all sizes, from small dogs, puppies, elderly dogs and larger breeds.

My dog Abby seems to be in great shape and in good spirits although going from a single owner at home to a family with two kids clearly wears her out... which of course is a good thing! Grateful to Dawn and her family!

Blu and Gracie had a great time hanging out with Dawn and her family for a couple of days. It's such a comfort to know that your fur babies are safe and being treated like family when you're not able to care for them yourself. 100% recommend.

Our Daisy had a great time with Dawn and family. Dawn was easy to work with, flexible, and communicative. Plus some very cute photos of our pup! Recommended

My dog seems well cared for during her 5 day stay with Dawn and her family. They have a large fenced in yard and two children who gave her lots of attention!

A typical day

Our neighborhood offers lots of places to walk - up hills, down hills, all around! Our fully fenced in backyard makes it easy to throw a ball or a frisbee around or just run back and forth and get some exercise in! The kids get home from school around 3pm so after that, there will be LOTS of "kid attention" and lots of energy will be spent!
