Pet care experience

Your fur baby’s new best friend!

I’ve provided pet care for animals of all kinds & sizes since I was around 10 years old. Growing up, we’ve always had ~5 pets at once, as well as fosters, so I feel the most at home when spending time with fur babies because they bring me so much joy!! 🐾 I am so passionate about all animals big and small. Throughout college i’ve spent much of my free time serving at various animal sanctuaries, rescues, and shelters and help manage a nonprofit chapter at my college.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pets are like family to me! I treat all animals with the utmost respect and take their care and safety very seriously. I am physically able to keep up with dogs of all energy levels and sizes, and have experience caring for pets of all sizes. I avoid other dogs on walks unless otherwise specified to ensure I will always your baby safe. I will always give any timid animal as much time and space as they need to feel safe in my presence before they approach me while respecting their space above all else.

I highly recommend Dakota as a pet caregiver. She is responsible and truly loves animals. Dakota is patient, attentive, and takes the time to make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or simply providing companionship, she treats every pet as if it were her own. Pet owners can feel confident knowing their furry family members are in caring and trustworthy hands with Dakota. Any pet would be lucky to have her looking after them!

Dakota is a great animal caregiver. We have had cats and dogs that she has taken wonderful care of them. I know in the past she has had birds and sugar gliders and been a foster for animals in the past. You couldn't find a bigger animal lover to take care of your pets.
