Dakota was great with our Luna, she gave her great attention and care and sent us pictures throughout the day. Thank you Dakota!

We had an initial scary experience with our first Rover dog sitter, so was a littler nervous to book again; but Dakota was very accommodating and reassuring. She took such care of our Beau, giving updates and pic on him. Love that she only takes a few at a time so she can devote her attention to them. Looking forward to having him stay with her again when we need to travel.

Dakota was great with our baby girl Gigi! She was patient and really caring! I loved that she sent updates throughout the weekend and lovely pictures. This was Gigis first time without mom and dad and Dakota definitely made her feel right at home. We now have someone we can trust to leave our baby girl with. Thank you so much Dakota 🩷

Schedule

I work part time at my families commercial tire company and as a family caregiver during weekdays. While I do step away for a few hours a day I make sure to provide plenty of one on one time with the pups and ensure they are completely comfortable. Pick up and drop off times are between 5am-8pm. Extended care fee is charged outside of those hours.

Safety, trust & environment

Fully fenced, secure yard. I keep ALL dogs separated, no group plays due to safety. Dogs must be crate trained or comfortable in an outdoor dog run for bed time and rotating dogs. I do not take aggressive dogs. *Dogs with severe separation anxiety will be charged an hourly constant care fee*

Pets

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♥️

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.
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
