Because I work remotely from home, pet care is naturally part of my day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day.

About Dawn W.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I host only one or two dogs at a time so each guest gets plenty of attention and a calm, low-stress environment. Dogs have access to comfy beds, cozy spaces, and my fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I don’t accept dogs with separation anxiety or severe behavior issues, so everyone here can feel safe and relaxed. When staying in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free.

Information Dawn W. would like to know about your pet
I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet before confirming a booking. If you’re in Venice, I’ll usually have you drop your dog off for about an hour while you grab coffee nearby—this lets me see how they do when their parents are away. When you return, we’ll chat and go from there. It’s helpful to know routines, quirks, and any special needs ahead of time. I only accept friendly, well-behaved dogs.
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog I am home most of the day and evening. I do go to the gym or run an errand or two but mostly I am here. Walks.laytime, cuddle time, or just relaxing — I make sure each dog feels at home and cared for.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Dawn! I’m a lifelong animal lover, professional animal trainer with over 30 years of experience, and an animal talent agent who works from home. Through my company, Pawsitively Famous, I supply professionally trained animals for film, TV, print, and live events. You may have seen my work on Animal Planet—including DOGS 101, CATS 101, and America’s Cutest—and recently on Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala on CBS. Living in Venice, FL, I offer a calm, safe, and loving home environment for your pets while you’re away. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of one-on-one attention and create a relaxed, stress-free stay for every guest. Why I Love Dog Sitting I’m a huge dog lover, and since I can’t have 10 of my own, I love welcoming houseguests! It brings me joy to give pet parents peace of mind that their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. Experience Administering Medication I’m comfortable giving daily pills, topical treatments, or other medications. Your pet’s health and routine are always my priority. Resident Dogs My two resident dogs, Buzz and Little Miss Hollywoof, love welcoming new furry friends—whether they feel like playing or prefer to just relax.
Reviews
5 ⭐️‘s. Dawn helped us out last minute. She was professional, dependable, and my senior dog was safe with her. Thanks Dawn! ?
I inadvertently arrived an hour before due. This did not set the stage very well. Shiloh was well when I arrived to pick him up.
Dawn took great care of Morris. Morris was very happy when I arrived to pick him up!
Dawn was good with Sophie. She sent two pictures which were good. She has a few more dogs than I expected but she did a nice job on the whole.
