Thoughtful Animal Care in the Snoqualmie Valley

Personalized horse and animal care rooted in experience, responsibility, and

a genuine love for animals.

Founded by Tera Dawson | Carnation, WA

A Life Built Around Animals

Barn & Beyond grew from years of hands-on experience caring for animals professionally and personally. What began as a dog walking and boarding business over a decade ago has evolved into a quieter, more focused approach to animal care

rooted in trust, experience, and attention to detail.

Today my work centers primarily around horses and supporting a small circle of long-standing

dog clients who have been part of my journey for many years.

Focused, Limited Care

To maintain the quality and attention each animal deserves, I intentionally keep my schedule small.

• A handful of long-term animal care clients
• Limited short-term horse care for local owners
• Personalized, attentive care rather than high volume services

This approach allows me to give each animal the calm, consistent care they deserve.

Meet Tera

I’ve spent most of my life around animals — riding, caring for horses, and working with dogs professionally for many years.

Today I live in Carnation with my husband and our animals, including my horse Sunny and my dog Marley. Much of my time is spent outdoors working with animals and slowly building the property we call home.

Barn & Beyond reflects the life I care most about: animals, the land, and thoughtful care for both.
