Caring and Loving Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
I have grown up with both dogs and cats, of a variety of breeds, in my home since a young age. As an adult I have raised and trained my 7 year old lab/collie mix since he was 6 weeks old. Friends and family continuously look to me for help with their pets either for a quick drop in or an overnight stay. I have also taken care of animals with medication needs, mainly oral supplements on a schedule. Whether it’s a mid-day walk or a weekend stay, I am fully capable of caring for your sweet pets. I’m working part-time but my shift is split. I am available almost every weekday, from 10am to 3:30pm and then of an evening after 8pm. I also have a decent amount of availability during the weekends too. Let me know what you’re needing and we can try to work something out! I like to create a trustful environment where the animals feel comfortable and relaxed. I also like to keep them on a schedule, if they have one, so they feel safe with their routine. Letting me know your expectations ahead of time for what your pet is needing is a great way for me to give your animal what they are needing.

Safety, trust & environment
I want to make sure there is plenty of communication regarding your pet, not only before to set expectations but also during so you know your pet is in good hands and being taken care of. I'd like to stick to an already established routine so your pet feels comfortable. I'd also like to meet your pets beforehand to establish some trust with you close by.
Information Dakota M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs or behaviors your pet has that I need to know or would be helpful while I am caring for them. Also, if there are certain places you do not wish for your pet to be like a dog park or high traffic trail, that would be great to know. Don't forget to let me know what your pet loves! Treats, playing, or napping...I'd love to know how to give them love and support!
A typical day
I find it's great to meet your animals where they are at. If you have an energetic pup that loves to run around, there is a great off leash dog park nearby that we can go to and get all that energy out. If your dog is more of a casual stroller, short trails and walks around the neighborhood are perfect. If you have an active cat that likes being outside or playing games, I'll be sure to accommodate their playful nature.

Availability
I work a part-time split schedule, so I am able to go on walks or do drop-in visits between 11am and 4pm on most weekdays! Weekends are also available. If there is a specific date and time you are looking for, I'd love to chat and see what could work best for all of us!
