Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 dogs in my home. One is older while the other is younger. So, they are able to give your dogs some extra attention. I have a small patio that allows them sunshine and some exposure to nature. There is also a dog park in the complex that will allow your dog to run and get some exercise.

Information Dawn R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for or should be aware of in advance of any services.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in my neighborhood, and explore a big park near my house.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs for over 30 years. I love spending time with dogs. They provide you with so much joy. I am capable of feeding, walking, playing, and administering any needed medicine. I work from home 3 days/week and MUST work in the office the other 2 days. However. I ensure that midday potty breaks and playtime is done even when I am at work. I have significant experience taking of senior dogs but also the challenge of caring for younger ones as well.

Dawn did an incredible job house sitting with our energetic cattle dog Frankie for a week. We received frequent updates and pictures of Frankie throughout our trip and came home to a clean house and yard. Can’t recommend Dawn enough!

Dawn did a wonderful job taking care of our high energy cattle dog, Frankie! We got so many pictures and updates while we were away, our house was so clean when we came back, and Frankie was so well cared for. Thank you for looking after our girl!

Dawn took excellent care of my two goldens and my cat while we were away from home for a week. She was great at communicating with us and sending pics of the pets. She also left the house sparkling clean! I loved having her here while we were away!
