I have two rambunctious kids, a Russell Terrier, and a Labrador of my own, so I understand that life with pets can be both busy and rewarding. I'm currently a full-time online student, and aside from my regular household responsibilities, I have a very flexible schedule. Checking in on fur babies is easy to accommodate and truly one of my favorite parts of the day. I love providing pets with the attention, care, and companionship they deserve while giving their owners peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small, fully fenced backyard that provides a safe space for supervised outdoor play and games of fetch. My Labrador is very playful and loves having a canine companion to run around with! While my yard isn't large, it's plenty of space for exercise, enrichment, and fun. Your pet's safety and routine are always my top priorities. I closely follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, and outdoor time. Walks are also an important part of a dog's day, weather permitting, and I always check pavement temperatures to ensure it's safe for sensitive paws before heading out.

Information Dakota C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there is any special accommodations your fur baby might need. I have experience with puppy’s, young dogs, and senior dogs but not dogs with disabilities. I have administered injections to sheep and dogs so I have no problems with that along with oral medications.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs stimulated both physically and mentally! Whether it's a game of fetch, treat scavenger hunts, interactive play, or sniff-filled neighborhood walks, I enjoy helping dogs have fun while getting the exercise and enrichment they need. Of course, every pup also gets plenty of love, cuddles, and one-on-one attention while they're in my care.

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Dakota, and I've been around animals my entire life. From schnauzers and springer spaniels to Rottweilers and labs, I have experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe pets are family, and I love getting to know each animal's unique quirks and needs. I'm a dependable, punctual person who values honesty and communication. I understand that life happens and not everything is within our control. Whether schedules change unexpectedly or your pet needs a little extra patience and understanding, I'll always do my best to work with you and provide compassionate care. I have two energetic kids, a Russell Terrier, and a playful Labrador of my own, so caring for animals is simply part of my everyday life. I start each day with walks, feedings, potty breaks, and plenty of pet care, and I end my days the same way. Making sure pets feel safe, loved, and cared for is second nature to me. As a full-time online student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and quality one-on-one attention for your furry family members. I have a small fenced backyard that's perfect for supervised playtime and games of fetch. I also prioritize safety by avoiding outdoor activities during extreme temperatures and always following your pet's feeding schedules and care routines. My goal is simple: to care for your pets the same way I care for my own.. with patience, kindness, consistency, and lots of love. I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your animals, and I would be honored to be that person for your family. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

We've had Dakota come to our house since 2022. We are gone quite a bit during the summer to feed and give water and clean litter box on certain days when we are not home. Dakota has been trust worthy and very dependable. Dakota is still with us taking care of our cat. I've even asked her to play with our cat so she's not that lonely for human companionship. Our Lena is a bengal and needs that when we are not home. I'm thankful that Dakota is willing to include that service.
