The Doggy Manor

Hi, I'm Dawn. I'm a retired nurse and animal lover. I believe that our 4 legged friends are the same as family and should be treated as such. I live with my husband of 26 years and our 18 year old son. We have lived in our home since 2004 in the neighborhood of Kings Manor in the front of Kingwood. We have a large, fenced in backyard that is perfect for running and playing fetch. It's a safe and quiet neighborhood with lots of green belt trails for long walks on sunny or cloudy days :) I enjoy cooking, gardening, crafting, swinging on the swing set and gaming :) I spend a large portion of the day outdoors so you can be assured your fur baby will get plenty of outside play time each and every day they're here (weather permitting of course) I know what it's like to have to put the care of your loved one in the hands of a stranger so I will always be mindful of the value of a game of fetch, a walk or extra cuddles during a thunderstorm. Whatever special needs your fur baby might have I will always do my best to accommodate them. Also, be prepared for me to send you lots of pics and videos of your babies while you're away :)

Dawn is such a great dog lover! She's watched my dogs several times before and they love her! She is very loving and patient! You are missing out if you don't use Dawn to watch your dog!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a 2 story home in the quiet neighborhood of Kings Manor in the front of Kingwood. I have a large, fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your doggo to play. I no longer have any pets in the home as we lost our sweet boy, Cody over a year ago to cancer :( Watching your fur baby gives me and my family great joy to be able to offer love to them when we don't have our own doggy to love anymore. It's therapeutic for me and your fur baby gets lots of one on one attention from us. So it's a win win :)

A typical day

I will accommodate your dog's activity level with active playtime in the backyard. I can take your dog for walks (weather permitting) to go check out the local scene on the greenbelt trails (squirrels, birds and fun sticks and pinecones :) We can play fetch if that's what they like (we can even play fetch in the house if it's raining outside) :) When it's time to relax for the night, I will make sure that they have either their dog bed, bedding or crate (if they are crate trained) in a comfortable spot where they are NOT isolated.
