Information Dakota M. would like to know about your pet

Safety is my biggest priority so I only take pups that are crate trained or comfortable outside in a secure dog run (they are only put away when necessary, if I am rotating pups or during bed time). If your dog has anything they dislike, please let me know beforehand (ears being touched, fearful of strangers, dog reactive) If you do not want me to give your dog any treats or has food allergies please let me know.

A typical day

I love to keep the pups busy! Physically with a good game of tug/fetch ⚾ Mentally with pumpkin filled frozen kongs/sniffing games ✨ Then finish the day off with soft warm blankets, belly scratches and a well deserved nap♥️

Pet care experience

I work on my family’s farm and have been around animals my entire life. As a lifelong animal lover, I have a special passion for working with dogs and always go the extra mile to ensure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared for.

Tala stayed with Dakota over the Christmas break and we were so pleased to have found her! She updated us with messages and photos every day, even making Tala a special sleeping enclosure. Highly recommend Dakota! -Michael

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.
