Pet care experience

Fulltime concierge to your Doggie!

I allow the doggie to decide on their day of course following what routine you have set for them. I will Vlog so you can see what a true doggie star they are! I'm energetic so we will hike, jog, walk and wag our way into a fun filled day. My days and weekends are very flexible. I have a massage/pet caregiver business in St.Louis, Missouri and Taos, New Mexico that only I manage! I've cared for Great Danes to Pugs from puppies in potty training to females in heat. I treat them as they are my own and always adhering to their routine. Booking me "Animal Planet", belly rubs, and fun will be in your future (wiggle wag wiggle wag wink) Thank you, dawn

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I treat your pet as you do and keep them on their routine. I always have a pet on a lead unless they’re in their own backyard. I usually have them stay clear of other animals and children since they’re are extra anxiety’s due to owner/parents being away. Your fur babies happiness and safety is first priority.

Dawn came over before our trip to meet the pups and take them on a walk. It was very clear upon meeting that she is an animal lover! We feel confident that she will be great!

Dawn was amazing! She did a great job with my high anxiety dog who is afraid of strangers. Within a few days, they were best friends! My pups were well taken care of!

Dawn is an exceptional - she goes above and beyond and can even handle our tough little pup. Be sure to consider her - her genuine care and patience are worth it!

Dawn was fabulous. The pups were well taken care of and the house was as I left it. Dawn was very good at sending pics and texts. Highly recommend and will use her in the future.

I love all types of breeds I would need to know their anxieties, do they play well with others, their likes and dislikes. Do they run after squirrels or well anything that moves so I can be prepared when we are out on fun adventures. I like to meet owners a hour before leaving so can go over feeding, pottie and sleep schedule and anything else to make your pet comfortable and happy while your away.l
