Dogs and I are kindred spirits!

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Dakota and I am a 27 year-old college student living in Doylestown! I am a kind and respectful animal-lover that enjoys spending time with pets whenever possible. I have always had a special connection with animals, and I have spent my life surrounded by and caring for them. I was a volunteer at an homeless dog rescue when I lived in Los Angeles, and I’ve learned to work with all kinds of dogs in my experience. I love all kinds of animals, and have no preference when it comes to breeds. I have almost a decade of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, hermit crabs, you name it. I have never known a home without at least one furry creature running around, and I don't believe I ever will. I love and care for my pets as if they were my children (and any pet owner knows they are!), and I promise to provide the same attentiveness and care to your animal(s). I am responsible, professional, personable, and amenable to you and your pet's needs. I know how hard it is to leave a pet with a stranger, and I would love to provide pet owners with peace of mind while they are away, knowing that their home and pets are in great care. I treat every new dog/home in my care as if they were my own. I respect that every animal has its own unique personality and needs and am here to cater to you! I look forward to meeting and working with you. -Dakota

Dakota treats my two fur-babies like they are her own. We have a high-energy 50 lb. puppy (age 11 mos) and a 6 yr old smaller dog. She is patient with the puppy's antics and high spirits, never yelling when he jumps up in his excitement to see her. I would let her take care of our boys any day!

Dakota is a sweet person with a great passion for animals. I have two dogs, Max and Tucker, and ever since I asked for her help in watching them from time to time last year, she's just been so great with them. Max is very willful and Tucker is an incredibly energetic puppy, but she does an amazing job with walking them, feeding them, playing with them, etc. They're both friendly dogs, but the only person that they legitimately get excited to see is Dakota! She's basically part of the family at this point haha. Amazing dog sitter and even better person!

Having known Dakota for over six years, I can honestly say that she is one of the most kind hearted people I've ever met. If there's one thing I know about her for sure, it is that she is definitely a dog lover! I am positive that she will be a wondeful and responsible caretaker. This girl has a tremendous amount of passion for animals in general and it is obvious due to what she does for her own pets.

It is indeed a pleasure to highly recommend Dakota R for dog caregiver. She has always been surrounded by dogs and other pets and has been a very gentle and loving pet owner. She has lots of patience and been very reliable. If either my wife or myself were not home for extended periods, I would definitely make use of her services. I am more than confident that she will be an asset to your business and has the interpersonal skills for her to interact with your clients.

During home visits, I will treat your space with respect and order. My goal is to bring you the peace of mind that your pet is content and cared for while you are away.

Information Dakota R. would like to know about your pet

I'm relaxed, patient and friendly. I'm open to learning new things, if you have a specific task you'd wish me to do, or if there are certain needs your dog has, I will attend to them. The main thing I would like to know about the dog/s before sitting for them is their routine, habits, behaviors, likes/dislikes. This way I can make sure they are as comfortable as possible when you are away. I am happy to accommodate puppies, special needs, and seniors dogs as well. I have no breed preference. I have experience with all sizes.

A typical day

In the past, my family has employed sitters who just drop by to feed our pets and then walk right out the door. I don't believe this is much of a service. While it all depends on the owner's preference of course, I like to spend time with the dogs I watch, whether that means playing with them in the yard or taking them on a walk. I approach all animals under my care with a happy demeanor and a sense of compassion. During home visits, I will treat your space with respect and order. My goal is to bring you the peace of mind that your pet is content and cared for while you are away.
