Happy Days with Dakota!
Pet care experience
I have always loved dogs and cannot imagine my life without my babies. While I grew up with dogs, it wasn't until I adopted my first girl about seven years ago a that I really understood what it takes to truly take care of them and train them for a happy lifestyle. I haven't looked back, as I adopted my second pup two years ago! I am well-versed in animal behavior and look for signs of discomfort or stress in a dog to avoid any bad experiences. I've volunteered as a dog walker at the local humane society and so I am used to a variety of leash walkers, personalities, and energy levels. I am very flexible as to what you would like for your babies and can provide a variety of activities to satisfy your dog’s needs.
Reviews
Dakota has taken care of my animals twice now, and she is amazing. She is always kind enough to shoot me a brief text with how everyone is doing and includes pictures as well. I would highly recommend her!!!
I always appreciate Dakota staying with my pets while I'm gone. She always leaves the house clean and starts laundry and my dogs love to cuddle her. I've used her a few times and she always does well.
Thank you again Dakota for taking care of my fur babies! You always make leaving home a lot easier knowing that my girls are well taken care of.
Dakota is great. I feel comfortable with her in my home and my 5 pets are well taken care of. One of my dogs had surgery before the stay so she had a lot of extra work and she did awesome!

Information Dakota M. would like to know about your pet
**As of April 2020 I am a working full time in Seattle, so I am gone from 620-530 Monday through Friday. Please let me know your expectations for my visit/stay with your pup, including walks or park visits, how long you'd like me to stay in your home, if I should expect to stay overnight, etc. Let me know if there is anything around the house that I would need to do, including trash days, any security codes I'd need, any neighbors/friends in the area who can help in an emergency, and other house rules like if visitors are allowed while I am in your home. I'd love to know what your pup's typical day is like so that I can continue their routine to the best of my ability. It helps to know of any behaviors I should watch out for (darting out doors or reactivity when on a leash, for example) and what I can do to make sure everyone remains safe and happy. I love any and all dogs from puppies to seniors, and can handle multiple dogs without issue.
A typical day
There are several parks around Kitsap county that I can take your pup to. I will always have them on leash, I will have water available to them throughout the walk, and I will do my best to engage their minds too. There are also several dog parks if you are interested in socializing your dog where I will keep a careful eye on them to ensure they do not get uncomfortable at any point in time. I love activities like hide and seek (dogs that understand the game have so much fun!) but it’s truly whatever will keep your dog happy during and after staying with me!
