About: I have been taking care of my neighbors, family, friends, and my own dog/pets for 10 years including walks, feeding, watching, and helping train. I have experience with puppies and older dogs as well as injured or sick dogs. I am currently in a local college for health care. I am free all day Saturday-Monday and after 3 Tuesday-Friday. I have transportation and can drive a reasonable distance. I would follow any rules you have set for your dog (ex. food allowed, walking requirements, type of leash/collar for walks, and if they need to be crated or not) I would be able and willing to provide any medical care needed as long as I am shown how to correctly.

“Dakota is a lovely and attentive caregiver. My older lady cat needs a daily visit and Dakota was thoughtful and great in her communication. Odie was much more happy and relaxed when I returned. Will definitely work with Dakota again!”
“Siri was wonderful! She kept us well informed as needed and was a great help. She was able to care for our shy cats and ensure medication was given. Definitely recommend!”
“Laura was not only my first booking on Rover, but my first non-friend dog-sitter ever and she made it such a lovely experience for both me and my pup. She was so engaged with Tipu during our meet & greet that he was immediately charmed. During the drop-in visit, Laura took the time to run him through his commands to give him a little mental stimulation to break up his crate time. Will definitely use again.”
