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!

House Sitting • Nov 30, 2023

There was lots of miscommunication between myself and the sitter, and my expections were not met that have been met by previous sitters. There were many issues and I was not happy with the service provided though she did try and resolve them for the end of the stay

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.
These prices are for 1 dog.

Prices include all fees.

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.
