Animals Are My Passion!!

Pet care experience

Hi there, I'm Dawna and I can't wait to meet you and your pet! Caring for animals is so rewarding, I've spent tons of time rescuing, rehoming, and just looking after furry friends. I decided to bring my gift of animal care to my community! To say I’m an animal lover would be an understatement! If my hubby didn’t keep me under control, I’d have so many animals I'd need to build an ark! I currently have three large dogs, a cat, a Bearded Dragon, an Eyelash crested gecko and a pair of zebra finches... but I'd love to have more animal friends. I decided to become a pet sitter to spend more time with animals without the commitment, plus, I get to serve other animal lovers in my community! You should know that while your dog is in my care they'll be treated just like my own! My animals are not just dogs and cats… they are my kids! I have gone to great lengths to make sure that my pack is socialized and well behaved. They are used to having guest dogs come into their home and they handle it very well! The cat isn't so sure, but I keep a section of my house closed off just for her. Once we get through the initial introductions everyone finds their place in our pack. We take walks daily. I have become a pro at walking a pack of dogs all at once if they are all leash trained. No worries if they aren't! I can manage that too! I'm ready for anything! So, I hope you will give me a chance to show your fur-kid some love and shoot me a message! We can get together and see If we are a good fit for your needs!

Dawna did a great job with both of our dogs last year, and really worked with our large dog to learn stairs. She was extremely patient with our hyper smaller dog.

Dawna was so great! She made our pup part of her family, and sent multiple pictures during his short stay. Thank you Dawna!

Dawna was very accommodating to my special needs dog, Charlie, and was flexible in her scheduling, too. She has a great set up for boarding and petsitting.

Information Dawna B. would like to know about your pet

I of course would need to know temperament and activity levels. Do they have food aggression? Do they have any weird little quirky things they need or do? How do they get along with new people and other dogs? I want to make their stay with me as normal and routine as I can. So any information you can give me to help make that happen is appreciated!

A typical day

What won't we do! I love coming up with new great ideas for our furry friends to enjoy. We'll go on long walks, have lots of playtime, and we even can explore our big backyard! Just let me know what your dog's usual routine is and I can keep them happy as a clam!
