Pet care experience

My dogs are family! I have 6 small dogs: Chelsea, Mufasa, Panda, Ozzie, Bunny and our newest member of the family Vinnie. Three girls and three boys, they are spayed/neutered. They are the loves of my life, my companions and friends and they love fur baby visitors. I will treat your furry family the same. I have been through professional obedience training with my dogs and I am first aid and CPR certified. I do not charge additional fees for medications or walking your pet while in my care. You will have the peace of mind knowing your beloved family is in the comfort of my home receiving one on one care. I limit the amount of dogs I board at any one time. My daycare and boarding fur babies are screened for behavior, shot records and overall health. It is important to me that they not only are comfortable with me but they know that someone is there for them. If signs of anxiety appear, I find taking them for a long walk, playing with them and playing music helps. While your pet’s in my care I enjoy sending daily photos. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet(s)! ⭐️⭐️ I require the use flea/tick preventive for any dog boarding/daycare. Several great options are available and you should discuss them with your vet.⭐️⭐️

Dawn was amazing with my chihuahua. She sent constant updates and he came home calm and happy. He has separation anxiety and she handled his quirks with ease. Thank you Dawn!

Dawn is wonderful. My little dog Scruffy has found his second home. She has a lovely, dog friendly home with her own little pack, so my guy fits right in. I always check with her before I make any other arrangements. She's wonderful, loving and very attentive. I get pictures and reports. Most of all, I know he is safe and having a great time!

Dawn watched our pups for 10 nights and we couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Our two dogs (7lbs and 13lbs) had a blast playing with Dawn’s 6 pups. It was a great way for our dogs to get much necessary socialization. She also was very attentive to our senior dog’s medical needs. I highly recommend booking with Dawn!

Safety, trust & environment

I have 6 fur babies of my own. All of them get along famously with other dogs. We have a completely walled in yard, a doggie door leading to a secured side yard. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture and in our bed. Two love their crates and three sleep in their doggie beds. We also have a pool should your dog enjoy swimming. The pool is only accessible if we allow the dogs in that area of the yard. Clients have referred to our home and yard as a puppy paradise.

Information Dawn R. would like to know about your pet

I require that all shots be up to date. Are they leash trained? Do you prefer a harness? Are they friendly with other dogs-children? Can they heel, sit, stay? Do they have a favorite toy? When and where do they eat, potty and sleep? Do they have anxiety in a new situation or with loud noises (thunder, fireworks) are they friendly toward other dog and children? Who is your veterinarian? Do you have an emergency contact if you cannot be reached.

A typical day

The most important part of caring for your furry family is that you’re comfortable with me. I have over 40 years experience in owning and caring for pets and I’m CPR and first-aid certified through the American Red Cross. I have successfully completed professional obedience training with my own pets. This training assists me in caring for and keeping your family safe while in my care. I find meeting with you before accepting care to be so important. This way, we can find out if we’re a fit. I’m confident that my love for pets and my skills will shine through and you’ll be happy to hire me. Looking forward to a long lasting relationship with you and your family.
