I pamper one pooch at a time!
I provide personalized one-on-one pet sitting in a peaceful, stress‑free home where your pet is my only priority. I care for just one dog or family at a time, and with no pets or children of my own, your pup or cat receives truly individualized attention and affection.

Ratings and reviews
Pepper loves her time with Dawn! We are so happy to have an attentive caregiver for our senior pup!
Dawn was an excellent dog sitter! I found myself in a pinch with finding someone and she was available and communicated quickly and effectively so the plan was able to come together quickly! She took notes at our meet and greet and wanted as much info as possible to make my dog’s stay as smooth as possible! Poptart was a little hesitant at drop off but warmed up immediately to Dawn, and her warm, welcoming personality (and her bin of dog toys!). She sent tons of updates and pictures and had no issues whatsoever. Would definitely recommend Dawn to any pet parent and will book with her again!
Dawn has been our favorite Rover ever! She watched our dog Gus over a holiday weekend and he had the best time staying with her. She sent us so many great update photos - and Gus was always smiling, tongue hanging out, happy! We felt like we could trust Dawn from the moment we met her. She’s communicative, friendly and responsible; and we’re so glad we found her :)
Dawn was so wonderful and accommodating!! I had never boarded my cat before and was pretty nervous about leaving her in someone else's home. Dawn made us feel right at home, she suggested that I stay for ~30 minutes during "drop-off" to make sure that Missy felt comfortable, and did an amazing job of making sure that Missy wouldn't have the opportunity to bolt for the door or get stuck somewhere - Missy is a curious and elderly old lady and I was worried she would hide or get trapped, but Dawn made sure that wouldn't happen. She sent lots of pictures assuring me that Missy was having a great time, relaxing and playing with her toys and getting so much attention and lots of snuggles. Dawn made it super easy to schedule both pickup and dropoff and had all of Missy's stuff packed up and ready to go. If we ever need Missy to go on vacation again, Dawn will be my first call!
Dawn was very considerate and sweet. She was very loving to Belle and sent me several updates with photos throughout the evening. I will definitely be using her again. She was also on time for arrival and had flexibility with my return.
This is our 2nd time Dawn has watched our dog Dewey for us and I cannot say enough good things about her! She shared tons of photos while we were away which we loved. It’s clear to see our Dewey was having a great time on the beach and walks all over the neighborhood! He’s practically smiling in every photo. Dawn also makes you feel like she really loves and enjoys spending time with your dog and it just leaves us with peace of mind knowing our dog is in good hands and being well taken care of. Dawn is the best. Highly recommend for pet sitting. It’s always hard to have to leave your dog behind during travel, but with Dawn, it’s made a lot easier because you know your dog is happy and on a mini vacation of his own!
