A typical day
We will explore the neighborhood by going for walks to get some exercise and fresh air. They will be well fed, play all the games they enjoy, and will receive all the belly rubs and head scratches! Your pets will be protected, supported, and loved! We will meet other furry friends along the way too.

Reviews

Dakota is a great find. She showed kindness, love, and care to our cat. We knew that Miso was safe in her care. Her communication was excellent. We definitely recommend wholeheartedly.

Dakota was great with Copper! Very easy communication and a pleasure to work with!

This is our second booking with Dakota and I will definitely hire her again! She was patient and flexible as I changed the booking. She’s professional, responsible, clearly a dog lover and an all around great human!

Dakota took care of my unwell dog when I had to go out for the day. She was very communicative, and texted and sent photos letting me know that appa was doing fine. She’s dependable, clearly an animal lover, and a really nice person. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again. Thanks so much, Dakota!
