Hi everyone! My name is Dakota James (he/him) and I provide in-home and drop in services that are guaranteed to give you a peace of mind while you’re away from your furry companions. I provide exceptional care and promise to cater to your pets individual needs, whether they be physical, emotional, and dietary. I have experience with young puppies, adult dogs, elderly pups, and special needs dogs through my experience as a rescue volunteer and former kennel worker. I believe in positive reinforcement to promote good behavior, and am willing to work with you and your dog to change unwanted or negative behaviors while they are in my care. I am also sensitive to medical and dietary needs that are brought to my attention, and will provide the best home care to ensure that your pets have a comfortable and pleasant experience. I also have experience with high-energy dogs that require additional exercise and outdoor time, so you don’t have to worry about a sitter that can’t keep up with your pup. * house sitting stays guarantees that I will be staying overnight with your pets, and dropping in on them during the day. Continuous care is an entirely different rate, and guarantees that I will be gone no longer than 2-3 hours during the day, which is a different rate than the overnight rate. Message me for details and questions :) * I also provide care for tanked/caged animals such as reptiles, rodents, and have experience with livestock/farm animals! Don’t hesitate to shoot me a message to discuss what your needs are regarding pet care! Pet care is part of my daily routine. I myself have a host of reptiles as well as 2 cats, so I understand the importance of being present and diligent. That being said, pet-care has become a full time commitment, and that extends to your animals as well. Your animals’ daily schedule will be kept as similar as possible as to not disrupt their well-being. It’s important to me that your pets are comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.
