We feel very fortunate to have Dakota caring for our home and our fur family (1 big old dog, and 2 cats). He cared for them and sent us updates and pictures everyday as to how things were going at home, and specifically, with our fur family. We came home to a clean home and pets who were happy to see us, but not at all stressed. We will definitely call on Dakota again, and we're relieved to have a plan should we choose to leave home for business or pleasure going forward. I certainly imagine you would have the same experience with Dakota!

Dakoda was so kind and the dogs really like him! He sent me pictures of them every day. The house was very neat and he even washed the towels he used which was not expected, so sweet! I look forward to the next time he watches our pups!

Dakoda was perfect for our travel needs. He gave Baxter plenty of exercise and love,left the house clean, and watered the plants. We’re so happy we found him!!

Dakoda was a huge reason we were able to enjoy our vacation as much as we did! He provided pictures and updates so we knew our boy was in great hands and having fun while we were away. He even provided updates on packages that arrived and progress on work outside that was being done while we were gone. We came home to a clean yard & house and a very happy pup. We'll definitely rebook with Dakoda for any future needs.

If there are any accommodations your pets need please just let me know! I’m experienced with making my pets take pills and putting on topicals, and I’ve even learned through my sittings how to provide pets with injections in the skin, and using a syringe for oral medication. If your pet has any unique special needs, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll be happy to suit your pets needs.
