Dogs are my favorite people

Pet care experience

I have owned and loved dogs all of my life and I can't even imagine life without one. I volunteered for several years at Foothills Animal Shelter, walking and caring for dogs and learned a lot about their behaviors and needs. I also had a little shih tzu, Teddy, who had many medical issues for 15 years so I am experienced with giving medication. I live in a home that has a large, very secure yard with a chihuahua-proof fence and am able to offer it for boarding. Like many people these days, I work from home full time and I have two little pups of my own, Daisy and Emma, who get along great with other small dogs and love to play. So, your dog will never be alone. Come over for a play date and get to know us! Note: I do require a Meet and Greet for ALL new dogs, so please don't request a stay for 'tomorrow'. Also, please be aware that my fence is only 4ft so I can only take small breed dogs. Rover sets it's cutoff at 40lbs, but really 30lbs would be my limit.

My senior rescue is always thrilled to go on "doggy vacation" at Dawn's house and enjoys hanging out with the other pups. Hate to leave my Sasha when I travel, but know she's always happy and well cared for with Dawn!

Dawn was great! She sent updates daily on how Kub was doing and sent pictures of him as well.

It was the first time our little dogs stayed with Dawn and she was great! She has a big backyard and two very nice pups of her own. I’m sure they all had a great time running around the yard all weekend. Dawn sent photos everyday and we rested easily knowing our dogs were in good hands. Thank you!

Our third of many many more stays with Dawn, she’s amazing! Holly loved hanging with her friends, enjoying the huge backyard and playing with all the toys she could ask for. Our pup comes home tired and well socialized- we couldn’t ask for more!!
