Highlights
Pet care experience
🐾 Dog lover w/ two border collies
I’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 10 years. My two border collies, Cohen and Chloe, keep me active and have taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and playtime! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their dogs like my own. I’m comfortable with high-energy pups, older dogs who need a gentler pace, and everything in between. Find me on instagram @ dakotasdogco

Ratings and reviews
Dakota was great with my puppy! He sent updates and pictures throughout the day and made sure Alfie was well taken care of. We’d love for him to watch Alfie again. Thanks, Dakota!
Dakota is wonderful! He is great at communicating and very good with all dogs. Highly recommend!!
Love Dakota! I appreciate his time getting to know us both and learning Paco’s quirks. He was so easy to communicate with and responses were timely. Paco can be a nervous little nilly but after drop off he quickly warmed up to Dakota following him around like his little shadow. He kept me updated on Paco throughout the day. Hopefully Paco will have two new besties Cohen and Chloe too!
Dakota is truly a gem. He’s reliable, kind, and an absolute pro when it comes to caring for our three dogs. His communication is top-notch, and he’s always quick to respond and keep us updated while we’re away. We never have to worry because he follows every instruction perfectly and goes above and beyond to make sure our pups are happy and comfortable. It’s clear he genuinely loves what he does and treats our fur babies like they’re his own. We feel so lucky to have found someone we can trust completely with our dogs and our home. We have been trusting our pets with Dakota for years and could not recommend him more. From walks to drop-ins to overnight care, he is the absolute best.
Dakota shows an incredible understanding of his dogs, evidenced by his patient and attentive training methods. You can see it in the way he's with them—he's not just a caretaker, but a genuine companion.
If you’re looking for the best pet caregiver on Rover, look no FUR-ther. Dakota is what the bark is all about! He’s the most loving, compassionate, organized caregiver that will go above and beyond to meet all of your pets needs! He’s the ulti-MUTT care giver and I have nothing but amazing reviews for him. You can trust him with all your babies. 10/10 would recommend. He’s also not RUFF around the edges so he’s very easy to get along with too!

I work full-time from home, so your pet will have plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding on weekends, with flexibility for weekday visits around my schedule.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. My home is dog-friendly with lots of space for play, rest, and supervised outdoor time. Cohen and Chloe are friendly and well socialized they love having new buddies around. I keep water full, routines consistent, and send photo updates so you always know your furry friend is happy and cared for.

A typical day
I love keeping dogs happy and engaged both physically and mentally! We’ll play fetch, tug-of-war, and practice basic commands for fun. I enjoy taking dogs on walks through my neighborhood and visiting nearby parks for fresh air and new smells. At home, there’s plenty of time for cuddles, rest, and attention throughout the day.
