Dawn & her family did a great job caring for our beagle Chelsea. It was her first time there & based on the frequent pictures & texts Dawn sent - she loved her stay there & all of the attention. My highest compliment is that they treated her like she was a part of their family. Will definitely use Dawn again!!!

Nala received great care under Dawn. The communication throughout was seamless, and when we had to adjust our schedule, Dawn was flexible. We were reassured with regular photos and updates a couple of times a day. We recommend Dawn's services.

Dawn and her family were awesome with my elderly dog. She kept me informed and sent pictures the whole time.

Dawn was an absolute angel to our doggos. We did a meet and greet beforehand and she made scheduling that a breeze. Our dogs are used to lots of cuddles and snuggles and you could tell by the photos that she sent, that they were getting plenty of loving. I know they received tons of attention and the utmost care while at Dawn’s. She will be the first we call when we go out of town again!

Safety, trust & environment

Currently we don't have any pets. We have a pool with a fence around it almost and an acre yard and a park at the end of our street. I would be available to walk pets in their home, feed and be a companion for visits or watch a dog that is house trained or crate trained in my home.

A typical day

We love to play ball, take walks at the park and hang out together! Special treats are always fun if parents approve! We have a large yard with lots of grass to walk around in also!

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. Although we never anticipate needing a vet visit, it's good to have that arrangement just in case!
