Pet care experience

Lifelong pet owner and volunteer!

First, I have had cats in my home my whole life. I have had dogs in my home early in childhood. I watched the dogs of my friends and family throughout all of childhood and early into adult hood. Currently I just have one orange kitty and volunteer actively in my community! I am happy to hold down the fort while you are out of town to keep your furry family fed, watered and well loved (including lots of brushing if your animal enjoys that!!) ! I've never had a problem with any pet! Even the quote unquote "mean dogs"! I'll treat your home with the upmost care and respect, and do offer cleaning services as well! Heading out for an emergency? Holidays? Need your bathroom "terminally cleaned"? Dishes taken care of after you leave me with the care of your pet and trust of your home? I can make sure the day of your return that your Shower, tub, sink, toilet etc are cleaned to hospital grade standards! All dishes cleaned, vents dusted, ceiling fan blades wiped (I'm tall lol!) Your dog and or cats will be given round the clock care and attention you expect as if I was treating it like my own animal. Pay or no pay!!

Dakota is a volunteer at my non profit cat shelter. Since day one, he jumped right in to help us. He is caring and thoughtful & you can tell loves animals. One of the things that impressed me the most about Dakota was that he was not afraid of poop. He gloved up & cleaned a litter robot that was on the fritz, and wasn’t even asked to do so. Dakota is a kind man and I feel he would be an excellent supervisor of someone’s pets. He would love them just as much as you do.

Dakota has a truly special gift when it comes to caring for cats. His patience, compassion, and calm nature make animals feel safe and loved, even the shyest or most nervous ones. He consistently shows up with a strong work ethic, a kind heart, and a genuine passion for helping every cat receive the care and attention they deserve. Whether it’s cleaning, feeding, socializing, or simply giving extra comfort to a cat in need, Dakota goes above and beyond. He is dependable, hardworking, and the kind of person any rescue or organization would be lucky to have.

Schedule

While currently I am only offering house sitting services, you can expect dogs to be taken out as frequently as needed. Walked, fed on time and cuddled. Poop removed from yard, etc. It's not a house cleaning service, but aside from sitting for your loved one, I will also be a guest in your home and will make sure it's tidy and kept tidy! Cats litter boxes will be checked multiple times daily, fed on time, and water kept fresh.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Dakota can host up to 1 pet per night
Just let me know how your dog or cat likes to spend their typical day. I want to keep them as calm and comfortable while you are away and will make sure their daily routines and quality care is taken care of!
