NEW DAWN

My name is Emma and I am the owner of New Dawn – Cornwall.

I am loyal, trustworthy, fun and opening up my heart and home to provide dogs a loving, home from home environment to either spend an hour out walking with me, or come and have their own holiday for a day, a week or longer, while their owners are away or working. 

The business name was created from my middle name ‘Dawn’, which also features in my house name ‘Glynndawny’ and represents a very new chapter in my life. 

Before setting up my own business, I had worked for 14 years at Cornwall Fire and Rescue Service; as the Web and Social Media Advisor.  

My life experiences and the Covid-19 pandemic made me re-evaluate my priorities and in February 2022, I decided to leave the Fire Service and pursue a career I had only ever dreamed about. I took evening classes to teach myself the business skills I needed to go self employed and in June 2022, New Dawn – Cornwall was born.

Initially New Dawn started as a dog walking service but following a successful (and lengthy!) license application to Cornwall Council, I was successfully able to expand to provide day care and a home boarding service for clients dogs.​

My love for dogs started at a very young age when I took on the responsibility to walk my elderly neighbours dog for free, when I was a child. As soon as I had my own home, I adopted a poorly neglected Greyhound from Greyhounds 4 U. 

One Greyhound became two and then before I knew it, I’d adopted three and the rest is history because since they’ve crossed to Rainbow’s Bridge, two more dogs have since adopted me – Charlie; a Whippet X Collie and Obi; a whippet – you can meet them both.

Vision To provide the best care and enrichment to the life of dogs whilst in my care and to provide their owners with peace of mind knowing that they have selected a highly regarded, trusted and sought after pet service.

Mission To provide the highest standard of personal care for clients dogs in the best possible way when they are not able to. To achieve this I will provide a first class pet service, using only positive reinforcement methods.
