Dakota P.
“We are an animal loving family. In addition to our two cats (one indoor/one outdoor) and a 2' bearded dragon, we have two rescued Pit Bulls ages 3 & 12. Each dog has his own set of special needs such as diet, exercise, and supplements/medications. Taking care of these furry (and scaly) family members can be a part time job all its own! Dakota has come stayed in our home with our pets on multiple occasions while our family was out of town. Her attention to detail in following the instructions for the care of our animals has been amazing ! She treats them with the same level of love and compassion as I imagine she would her very own pet. I would recommend her any of your pet-sitting needs!”
