Highlights
Pet care experience
I love all dogs!!
I have had and trained dogs since I was 7 years old. My first dog was a Doberman and I’ve had multiple Rottweilers since then. I’ve also trained Staffies, Doodles, Pit Bulls, Labs, GSPs, Terriers and plenty of other breeds. I showed in 4-H for 12 years with my Dobie, a Staffy, three Rottweilers, and my dad’s deaf French Bulldog that I taught hand signals to. I have also showed in Rally, Obedience, Showmanship, and Confirmation through AKC since I was 9. My last Rottweiler, “Moxie” had almost 15 AKC obedience and companion titles by the time she passed away at 5 years old from lymphoma. I really enjoy working with reactive, aggressive, or headstrong dogs that are in need of a second chance though I am happy to train just about anything! I’ve also been housesitting and pet sitting intermittently since I got my license at 16! I am somewhat starting out when it comes to board and training so I don’t have a ton of reviews or referrals but I am hoping to build them here!!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Our family loves Dakota and highly recommend her as a pet sitter! She is great with both of my crazy labs, as well as my son. She and my son were in the same 4-H club for several years until she aged out of the program, and we have remained close friends. She is both reliable and responsible, and I have full confidence in her abilities to take care of my dogs and my home while we're away.
Dakota is amazing!! She taught my puppy so much she came back even just after a week with better listening, the ability to hang out in the kennel, some tricks, and socializing! My puppy came back being completely content with other animals!

Schedule
I work a couple of part time jobs as a barista where I take the dogs with me! I drive a VW Jetta TDI wagon and have mastered the technique to keep the car plenty cool during my shifts and I potty the dogs every two to four hours. I go on lots of hikes, frequent the beach, and have tons of toys to play with! I only work 5-6 hours at a time so I make sure to give them the enrichment they need before or after work.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a studio mother-in-law style house with a large fenced backyard and crates/cots inside the house. If your dog is happy go lucky and laid back, they’ll be loose when I am home but when/if I’m not home, they’ll will be crated along with my dog. The house has fabulous ventilation and hasn’t ever been too hot during the summer or too cold during the winter. My dog is a very friendly four month old Rottweiler puppy. He is proofed around other dogs, cats, and children. I also frequently watch a 9 month old Rottweiler for a friend of mine. She is also proofed, and the most friendly, playful, and patient dog I have trained. I have the facilities to keep them apart upon request and they will never be left together unattended.
Pets
A typical day
I love hiking. If your dog is athletic, I can take them to the beach on a longline and let them play with my dogs. I’ll take them on hikes, runs, bike rides, anything I do! A tired dog is a happy dog and a happy dog is a good dog!
