Pet care experience

Hello my name is Dakota. I recently got married and now have a wonderful husband. I also have a golden doodle named Simba and he is almost three years old! We are all committed to providing fun, safe, & loving care to your dog(s). I am officially CPR & First Aid certified for cats and dogs. I am home during the morning/night and weekends, seven days a week, allowing me to spend lots of time with your wonderful doggies. My husband works from home and can care for the dogs while I am away at work. I am currently hosting dogs from on family at a time. Please keep in mind I do have my own dog, so your dog must get along with other dogs. :) We have a big backyard, lots of toys, a doggy pool, a huge park across the street and we'll focus on giving affection, exercise, and calm-assertive leadership to your little love bugs. I also offer grooming for dogs at an extra charge, starting at ONLY $8. I will also trim your dogs nails for $2, even without grooming, feel free to ask! We are new on Rover, but please dont let us having no reviews yet discourage you from booking with us, we guarantee we will make it high on the charts here soon. :) I offer: a grass area outside in our backyard, dog-friendly floors and furniture, daily walks or runs, a smoke-free environment, very flexible drop-off and pick-up times. I also am available to pickup and drop-off your pups. *Please view my calendar by clicking on "Availability" before sending a request. **Doggy Day Care costs are the following: 1-3 hours is $6 and 3-6 hours is $12, and anything over 6 hours is considered a full day and that rate is the typical $20.** **PICKUP/ DROPOFF INFO:** VERY FLEXIBLE WITH PICK/DROP OFF TIMES AS LONG AS THEY ARE DISCUSSED PRIOR TO BOOKING. IF THERE IS ANY DEVIATION WITH NO WARNING YOUR DOGS WILL BE CHARGED THE FOLLOWING: 1-3 HOURS IS $6 , 3-6 HOURS IS $12, OVER 6 HOURS IS THE TYPICAL $20 RATE, AND ANYTHING PASSED 10 PM IS AN OVERNIGHT CHARGE. :) THANK YOU!!

Dakota and Blake were beyond awesome! My puppy is super attached to me, so I was worried that he wouldn't do well with me leaving him. But there was no need for worry because Dakota and Blake are natural with dogs, and they helped him transition quickly into their home. He was treated like another member of the family while he stayed with them. They sent me lots of pictures and updates, and every single picture showed my dog Noodle playing happily and having the time of his life. I was able to enjoy my vacation without a single worry, and when I got back, Noodle was ecstatic to see me, but he also wanted to stay with his new friends. When we got home, he sat by the door and whined as if to say, "Let's go back and play!" Dakota also sent some homemade dog treats home with Noodle, and they were a huge hit with him. I'll definitely use Dakota again to watch my dog, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Dakota did such a great job with my pup Oliver and I felt totally confident and comfortable leaving my fur baby with her and her husband! She communicates clearly, spends lots of quality time with the pup and Oliver loves playing with her dog Simba. We look forward to using Dakota again in the near future!

We loved getting pictures of Rocky during his stay and loved seeing how comfy and relaxed he was! Highly recommend Dakota for timid/anxious dogs and dogs that love to play with other dogs!

Dakota is amazing!! My puppies loved her and she went above and beyond our expectation by constantly letting us know the status of our puppies and sending pictures of them playing and having fun. By far the best care our dogs have ever received. Definitely gave me peace of mind when I was away from my puppies.

Information Dakota G. would like to know about your pet

I am a dog lover & have the ability to console & bond with different types of dogs. While I welcome high energy & playful pups, I encourage individuals with sensitive dogs to consider me; my calm & adaptive nature makes me a comforting caregiver to dogs that are prone to separation anxiety. Since my husband is an athletic person, I am also a good match for active dogs & will gladly exercise your pet with extra walks and/or runs at no extra charge. A bonus is my willingness to provide consistency for your dog(s) - I am happy to follow your usual schedule, and will take care to support your obedience goals by using your preferred commands and approach to training. We trained our dogs at Sit Means Sit and have gained excellent skills and knowledge. *I require a pet meet to gauge dog compatibility. If your dog is a puppy no meet is required

A typical day

I will walk your dog every day once I get home and take them to the park to walk around for 30 minutes. I also have a medium doggy swimming pool that they can play in. My husband runs every morning and can take your dog with him when he goes for his daily morning jog. We also do several play times outside and have lots of time to watch and care for them.
