Your pet is my number one priority

Pet care experience

I once spent 8 hours or more a day sitting at a desk working for a paycheck, then out of nowhere I was laid off after 10 years of employment. After getting over the shock of it all, (blessing in disguise) I easily realized that I don’t belong behind a desk. I come to realize what I already knew. I love working with Animals and most of all, working with dogs. Dogs are my passion and now my profession. I recently acquired my AKC Certification as a Positive Reinforcement Dog Trainer. In between the pets I care for, I donate my time volunteering at animal shelters doing all I can do to care for these furry friends. I’m a full time mom however my kids have all flown the coop, so now I have lots of time on my hands to dedicate to walks and playtime with your pup. I’m comfortable with all size’s and breads. I am also a member of “Association of Professional Dog Trainers, APDT) and am always educating myself on training techniques side by side with dog behavior.

If I could give Dawn a 100 stars I would. This is the second time she has taken care of Hunter while we were away except this time he was a little unwell and she helped so much to put our minds at ease while we were away, he even got much better. Would HIGHLY recommend Dawn for all your animal needs 😊

Dawn was so great in taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend her and will be happy to have her watch our cats again next time we are on vacation.

We absolutely love having Dawn watch Bear. This was our second booking and won’t be our last. She is kind and leaves detailed reports of the visits and lovely pictures. Highly recommend!!

A typical day

Depending on the location, I usually stick close to your home and stay in the neighborhood, I let your pet smell places around your neighborhood as this is a great brain activity and just as important as walking. If walking is not on the agenda, then it’s all about play time. Fetching a ball or a mini training session.
