Safety, trust & environment

I’m able to care for your furry friends in the comfort and familiarity of your home, giving your pets consistent care in the place they know best.

Information Dakota M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your pet's temperament, if they have special needs, or if there is particular behaviour I can account for. Fear Free training relies on using positive reinforcement rather than punishment, so let me know if your pet has any dietary restrictions because I have treats of all sorts to reward your pets for good behaviours during our stays and walks.

A typical day

Typically, time spent with your pet involves physical activity like walks, hikes, and playtime! If you'd like, I can also do some light training with your dog(s) using the Fear Free approach which focuses on rewarding desired behaviours with positive reinforcement.

Pet care experience

I have been lucky enough to care for a variety of animals, from my own pets to many others, for my entire life. Along with my experience working at a veterinary hospital, I have completed Fear Free training, a background in healthcare, and veterinarians on speed dial. Your pets will be in capable hands!

Dakota was amazing! Super thoughtful and responsive. Our new rescue dog was comfortable and happy in her care.

We love Dakota so much. Our dog is elderly and has anxiety and Dakota is so nice and patient with her!

Dakota was very accommodating and allowed us to book a visit with only one day's notice! We will be booking with her again ☺️

Dakotas attention to detail and patience made my first time leaving my kitten an easier experience. Not only did she send me some of my favourite photos of him ever, she even spent a little extra time snuggling him and making him comfortable. Highly recommended and will absolutely be using her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
