Pet care experience

Paw-fect Home!!

I’m a total animal lover, have had animals my entire life. My last Dobie stole my heart, I just got a puppy and like my last pup, I train him myself to be the best behaved, excellent companion, I have a lot of patience, time and love to give. I say this, because when you leave your furry baby with me, they will get treated just like my own. They will be so loved and so safe in my home. I am very active and find myself doing a ton of walking /running so it’s always nice to be able to take a companion with me when I do so! I’ve taken care of puppies all the way up to senior dogs and cats, I understand dietary needs or any special instructions in general. This is your baby, and I will treat them as such.

Great dog sitter! Dakota is reliable, easy to communicate with, and took excellent care of my dog. Barney was happy and well looked after — I’d definitely book again.

She was very accommodating! Was able to take our dog on very short notice. Would definitely book with her again if we needed to. 😁

Safety, trust & environment

We may live in an apartment so I wouldn’t take on too much at a time so whoever’s fur baby is here would have all the attention, I have a cat who’s older with no claws, but he doesn’t pay any attention to other animals too much. I also have a puppy in my home, who is outside with me constantly if it’s walking, driving in the car or going to work, he’s always with me. He gets fed a raw diet and is always ambushed with kisses and cuddles (I can’t tell who loves them more, me or him! lol) Love to go for walks so that’s no issue, and we live right next to a trail along the river. We have an 8 year old son who just adores animals. Anything from birds and snakes to dogs and cats he just loves them!

Pets

A typical day

We can go for walks along the trail near my home & when they tire out, and if they’re cuddly, we can cuddle up on the bed and watch a movie! High or low energy, I got you!
