Highlights
Pet care experience
Cuddles, daily walks, dog parks!
I have over 10 years of pet care with my own fur babies and friends. I do daily walks and for overnights I can do light jogs. I provide lots of Cuddles and playtime and live right,next to a beautiful park. Available full time and give frequent potty breaks. My partner works from home and could do potty breaks and walks every 2 hours with each dog we are hosting. We have 3 Senior dogs and have experience with medications and complex medical needs. We have a 4th dog that has required a good bit of training for reactive behaviors. We have in depth knowledge of dog psychology and only use positive training techniques.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Dakota was incredible! She was flexible for drop off when we were running late, she sent so many photos of the pups during their stay, took them on walks and even handled their upset tummies. They came home tired and happy. Would definitely recommend!
Dakota was such a huge help in taking care of our cat Olly while we were out of town. She came by every day at the same time and stayed for plenty of time for him to have company. She kept us updated on how he was doing and how she spent time with him, changed his litter, and gave him treats and lots of love. She was trustworthy and was good at communicating.
I'm so glad I found Dakota! I trusted her completely in my home and with my pets as soon as I met her. She took excellent care of my kitty while we were on a road trip, and I look forward to having her care for my dogs in the future as well. Good communication is very important to me, and she was wonderful at checking in with us, responding to questions, and sending photos of my cat. Thanks Dakota & Christopher!
We have used this sitter twice now for our doodle Penny and they are wonderful with her. They are so loving and nurturing and really good at sending me pictures and updates. I will definitely use them again in the future and I highly recommend them for dog sitting.
Thank you for having patience with my fur baby. You showed her love and kindness, no wonder my dog gets excited when she sees you. My dog wasn't used to daily walks but the patience you showed in directing with positive enforcements was very appreciated. I love that fact you also have fur babies of your own and the professionalism you showed my dog was beyond my grateful.
My dog Australian shepherd Scarlet absolutely loves Dakota. She's patient and kind even when my dog gives those unwanted excited jumps when she sees her. You can feel the genuine love she has for animals. Knowing she's a dog mama herself I can easily rest knowing my Scarlet is in good hands.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced yard with cameras on parameter for monitoring and safety. We have a structured feeding time morning and night and believe in 1-1 time with each dog for about 15 minutes every couple hours whether it's a training session, playing, cuddling or obstacle course depending on the pets speed.
Pets
A typical day
Go on walks at the park in Redlands, hikes depending on dogs abilities and light jogging. We also like going for coffee together and going to dog parks ! If its a weekend I also like taking dogs with me to brunch and they get treated to a brown rice and meat dish with ice cubed water!
