Safety, trust & environment

I will do my best to keep the same schedule and habits that you communicate for as little disruption as possible. Dogs will be kept on a leash outside. Cats will be kept indoors.

Information LaDawn D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet is likely to escape and how to avoid that. Is your dog reactive to other dogs or bothered by certain types of people? Has your pet had any medical emergency and what is the likelihood of it happening again? What can I do to help your pet feel more comfortable in your abscence?

A typical day

Please let me know what activities your dog enjoys and whether to feed them before or after they have been walked. I enjoy throwing a ball in a fenced yard. I do not take dogs that are not mine to a dog park. I will follow your cats lead. I like to use wand toys before feeding with my cat. If your cat enjoys snuggles they will have attention. If they are more wary, I will work to build trust by respecting their space.

Pets

Cat lady who loves dogs

Pet care experience

I have 1 dog and 3 cats. I have personally owned rabbits, guinea pigs, parakeets, gecko, snakes, fish and jumping spiders. I am most comfortable with dogs who are 70 lbs and smaller. I have fostered kittens and feral mama cats for the Humane Society. I have successfully socialized dozens of kittens for their furrever homes. I do require a meet and greet for all new clients before booking. Please let me know what day and time works best for you so we can schedule. Constant care will double my rates.

LaDawn was wonderful. She updated me frequently and took lots of pictures. My dog Liberty loved her. I will definitely use her again.

LeDawn did a very good job of keeping Alex happy in our absence. I would recommend her service to anyone. She kept us well informed of what was happening all day. I will use her again in the near future. Fran

LaDawn has housesat and done drop-ins for our 2 dogs & random cats (LOL)! Her communication is outstanding, and she leaves everything in order. She's great with the animals, and they seem genuinely happy when she visits. Will continue to book when she's available!
