My goal is to grow my hobby

Pet care experience

I’ve been around animals all my life. I’m looking at schools to become a veterinarian. I love all kinds of animals if you have more animals in your home that you need to be tended to other than your cats or dogs I’d be more than greatful to check on them too. I know how to train anything from basic commands to leash training. I don’t mind spending some extra time with your furry friend to help you train them. I’m a very trustworthy and patient person I’m an licensed nursing assistant. I love helping everyone. When I see someone happy it makes me happy. Especially when I can make the animals I’m caring for or looking after happy, healthy and get to run around and play with them. I’m here to grow my hobby into something more. Want to build it into my own business sooner then later

Dakota was extremely unprofessional. I actually never met her. I arranged times for pick up and drop off, and updated her when I was on my way. However, each time I arrived she had left and I had to deal with other members of her household who clearly were not happy to have to be covering for her. She often did not reply to messages on Rover. I would strongly recommend finding an alternate caretaker for your pet, and for Rover to remove her from the app.

Dakota watched my new puppy of 13 weeks which is a bit more challenging than an older dog for sure. We did a meet and greet and my pup and her dog got along great. The day I dropped my pup off Dakota was not yet home; her sister met me and made sure my pup was safe and sound until Dakota arrived just after I left. (I had a plane to catch so had to go). Honestly, this was my first Rover sitting experience and this is a new pup, so I was a nervous mom. However, after my pup made it home and I saw how she is so much more comfortable around other dogs and strangers. This is evidence to me what a great job Dakota did with my pup. My pup's breed can be one that is more anxious so I really was hoping being with other dogs in another home would be a positive experience, and I can tell it has been.

I have a happy puppy that loves to play and take naps. We go for walks and have a dog park walking distance from our home. Ellie (my pup) knows to leave the senior dogs alone. She matches other dogs energy so if another dog is outgoing energetic so is she, but if like a senior dog is lazy just wants to sleep she will do the same.
