Availability
"I am currently a full-time Veterinary Assistant/Technician, working at a local clinic Monday through Friday. My typical shift is 8 to 10 hours, but I finish early every Friday, and my weekends are completely open for dedicated pet care. Because of my professional background, I am happy to accommodate drop-in visits or in-home pet sitting around my clinic schedule. I am committed to providing your fur babies with expert medical-grade attention and will always do my best to accommodate your specific needs."

Information Dakota C. would like to know about your pet
To provide the highest standard of care, please share any specific details regarding your pet's needs, such as: Behavioral Profiles: Any history of anxiety, leash reactivity, or specific fears. Dietary & Feeding: Precise feeding schedules, "no-treat" rules, or unique eating habits. Comfort & Routine: Favorite toys, preferred sleeping areas, or common hiding spots. Medical Management: As a Veterinary Technician, I am fully equipped to handle specialized medical needs, medication administration, or monitoring for chronic conditions.
A typical day
I believe every pet requires a customized approach based on their unique personality and energy levels. A typical day with me includes: Physical & Mental Enrichment: For active pets, I provide stimulating games and structured walks designed to engage both their bodies and their minds. Low-Impact Comfort: For senior pets or those who prefer a relaxed pace, I offer plenty of companionship, quiet "cuddle time," and gentle therapeutic massages. Social Interaction: I am a firm believer in verbal engagement and positive reinforcement. Whether your pet is vocal or quiet, I ensure they feel heard and attended to throughout the day. Health Observations: Given my professional background, I constantly monitor for any subtle changes in behavior or comfort to ensure your pet is thriving in my care.

Reviews
I have worked with Dakota for over a year and he loves animals and takes such great care of them! We are both vet assistants and I wouldn’t trust anyone more with others and even my own pets. He is always kind and caring.
