Pet care experience
***Hello to all furbaby moms and dads! The whole CoVid debacle abruptly ended my dog walking business for a few years, so I went and started an Airbnb business in the interim. lol. But I am now back for more doggie and kitty time! ***At the moment, I am currently only taking on regular clients with routine visits, as most of my bookings are not through this platform, and schedules and some type of regularity with new clients would be ideal. I am no longer booking any one-offs. Sometimes I wonder if I’m a dog, and I find myself looking for my tail when I pass by a mirror. Dogs are truly the greatest. As far back as I can remember, I've had a house filled with animals. There's been dogs, cats, fish, Guinea pigs, rabbits, turtles, ferrets, frogs, toads, and salamanders. Currently I live in my home with my 2 dogs, 4 beta fish, and my many, many plants. (I'm hoping to soon rescue a pig....or 2! But don't tell anyone haha) Although a lot of work, they're all undeniably such a huge, daily source of happiness for me. So I completely understand how stressful it can feel, when for one reason or another, you can't be home for them, or simply can't muster the energy to play with them because of life pulling us in so many directions. My love for all animals has happily directed me to a completely vegan lifestyle, and so I'm also doing my best to help people who want more of a plant-based diet in getting their meals together! As I've already mentioned, I have 2 grown (awesome, but of course haha) teenage boys now, so in the past few years, I've had more time to be able to help people who need the extra help with their pets. I'm an artist/ decorator, graduated many moons ago from the School of Visual Arts, was an Art Director in advertising in NYC for 14 years, but now work for myself. After moving to Westport with my family, I decided to volunteer at Earthplace Wildlife Rehabilitation Center for a year and a half to learn more. It was a terrific experience and bonded me with the natural world even more. :) I truly hope I get to meet both you and your furry friends too, and help you out whenever you need an extra hand and loving heart. *No walks will be scheduled during inclement weather of any type, and any walks scheduled prior to knowing bad weather is imminent will need to be canceled/rescheduled. **** Only taking on bi-weekly, try-weekly or more, repeat clients. No one-offs.
Reviews
Dawn was wonderful with my 3 dogs!! I really appreciated her kindness and flexibility!! Would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!
Dawn was great with our puppy Coco. He was so happy to see her and she gave him wonderful attention.
Dawn’s love of pets is unmatched by anyone I know! She shares so many loving videos with different animals that at first I thought they were all hers! She actually offers that much love and devotion to other people’s pets. I myself am not fond of having pets, but watching Dawn play catch and fluff some doggie fur pleasantly reminds me of my childhood pets. Who wouldn’t want that for their fur friends?
You will not find anyone more loving, responsible and more attentive to your dogs than Dawn. We have 2 German Shepherds with a lot of energy. She has a natural way of calming and caring for them. They can’t wait for her to come by. And neither can I. Dawn is an all around wonderful person, genuine with nothing but integrity.

Love and safety first ALWAYS. All pets I watch, whether mine or yours, will never be at a loss for hugs and kisses. Any toys or chews that look even slightly dangerous or like potential choking situations are ever left where they can get them. I always send you pictures and updates, and follow any instructions you may have about your pets or your home in general.
Information Dawn P. would like to know about your pet
No preferences at all in terms of which kind of dog I'd watch. I love all animals, big, small, high energy, mellow... all their different personalities are what makes them so special. Of course if they have allergies, I would need to know that beforehand.
A typical day
I prefer home play and yard time with the dogs because then they get the most of the booked time, instead of driving to and from parks. I'm also a big snuggler, so all pets will continually get massive kisses, and playtime. Generally speaking, Tuesdays through Thursdays I have a few hours a day that I can come over and dedicate to your pets. But you can always inquire if your needs fall outside those days to see if I'm available.
