Information Dawn T. would like to know about your pet

Please be very open in what yours and your pets expectations and needs are, I will do my best to meet those needs and expectations. Please make me aware of any triggers your dog may have while out on walks, do they run after squirrels, not do well when they encounter another dog and things of that nature. How do they like to play, what do you to do to calm them if they are anxious? All these things are important for me to know to best care for your pet.

A typical day

I love to play ball with my dogs. We go on walks, and practice training while on our pack walk. We also have snuggle times and treat times as well.

Dawn was absolutely amazing with our senior pug. She truly cared for him as if he were her own.She kept us updated with videos and messages throughout his stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Her kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really showed. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter, and we highly recommend Dawn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boy

So grateful for Dawn! She kept our energetic 1 yr old golden very happy and safe during our 10 day vacation. It was so fun to get daily check in videos and see what he was up to. Highly recommend her
