Pet care experience

Hello there, we are a family of dog lovers. My husband and I have two teenagers, the 4 of us all contribute to cuddling and caring for all the pups that come staycation with us. Unfortunately our pup of more than 12 years passed away. We currently have no pets of our own, however we are fostering a young pup (French bulldog) for a relative. Your pup will need to be crated when left alone as we do care for other pups in our home. I only work part time and there are 4 of us so alone time is minimal. Pups in our care have free run of the house when someone is home and can sleep on a doggie bed beside mine, sleep with the kids, or sleep in a crate if they prefer. We try to take 3 walks plus 3 potty breaks per day, more if needed. Some pups do not do well with hot days and we adjust to their needs. We have cared for pups with medications, blind pups, and deaf pups. We accept dogs under 40lbs. We do not care for large breeds as my teenagers have to be able to handle/walk pups when my husband and I are at work. Large pups are sometimes intimidating to our largely small breed clientele, even the unintentional gentle giants. Please take a look at the wonderful reviews we have received from many of our clients. Feel free to reach out with any questions, I'd love to chat with you about your pet care needs. 😊

Dawn and family have taken care of my dog a dozen times or so and I always have peace of mind when leaving town. Super communicative, easy to plan with and flexible when needed. Other dogs in the house to play with means my dog is always quite tuckered out when I get back. Highly recommend!

I've left my dog twice with Dawn and both times she took amazing care of her, was always super quick to respond, and sent pictures and videos during to show my dog was playing and doing well. Dawn and her family are real dog lovers and it's clear my dog gets tons of stimulation and love while she's there.

Sarang had a good time during the stay. Thanks for sharing great professional-like photos and giving her thoughtful cares.
