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!
