Whatever creature, I will love it

Pet care experience

I’m happy to take care of any animal: dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, you name it. I have consistently had dogs and cats growing up. I currently have two quirky cats, both from babies. Pre-covid I volunteered at the local shelter so I have experience with mean, special needs, and older pups as well. I treat my pets like people because they are family and their whole world revolves around us, their owners. Some specific dog breeds I have the most experience with are beagles, pitbulls, collies, shelties, shepherds, elk hounds, dachshunds, bassetts, labs, dalmatians, and retrievers. I’m used to high energy dogs so I have no problem giving your fur baby a good workout.

Teddy was so keen on Dakota and she took great care of him on her drop-ins! Will rebook (:

Definitely recommend Dakota! She watched my cats for a weekend while I was out of town and did a great job! Excellent communication, always shared photos and provided updates about her time at my house. I would request her help again without question!

Great Rover, despite near-no notice which was due to circumstances, but super helpful.

Misunderstanding somewhere, but she left my home unlocked, not acceptable.

Safety, trust & environment

I plan on predominantly taking pups on long walks and some play time if there are toys, or watching shows and cuddling with the couch potato pups. As I have cats, they get free reign of my house so I will sadly not be hosting any dogs.

Information Dakota M. would like to know about your pet

Feeding and bathroom schedule, medications, temperament, and general energy levels. What some of their favorite/ least favorite snacks are, and how much affection they want or need.

A typical day

I love walking the Belle Isle trails or Texas beach and I’ll be sure to chase all the zoomies out if a long walk doesn’t wear them out all the way.

Currently working full time 9-6ish gladly taking anything before and after, also happy to help on my off afternoons as well. My baby trotted over the rainbow bridge in May and I didn’t realize how much of my day revolved around her so I’m hoping to spend some time and give some love to as many pups as I can until we decide it’s time to adopt again.
