Highlights
Pet care experience
Paws in Safe Hands
I have hands-on experience caring for pets at all life stages. I’ve helped raise and potty train puppies, given extra support to senior dogs who need medication and assistance with stairs or obstacles, and cared for kittens as they grow. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
Cat care experience
Dakota also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
All pets in my care receive the same love, attention, and respect they deserve. If pets are staying in my home, they’ll enjoy extra playtime, companionship, and a safe, welcoming environment so they never feel alone. I prioritize exercise and can provide long walks to keep them healthy and happy. For drop-in visits, I always take time to check in, sit with them, and make sure they are comfortable and content before leaving.
Ratings and reviews
Loved our puppy while we were away as her own! Kept with communication the whole time And help with house stuff! Thank you so much for everything you did Dakota!
She was amazing! Very responsible and took good care of my dog. I’m definitely booking again!
Dakota was wonderful, responsive, and very attentive while house sitting our 2 pups!!!
I highly recommend Dakota! Every time I am out of town or gone for a long period of time throughout the day, she is always there when I need someone to watch my dog. I am forever grateful to have her take of my fur baby.
Dakota is responsible, caring, reliable, and honest. She genuinely loves animals, as well as helping others! You will not regret trusting her with your animals!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
As a police dispatcher, I maintain a structured schedule that allows me to provide reliable care. On my days off (3–4 days per week), I am available for potty breaks every 1–2 hours. During my workdays, I can offer bathroom breaks approximately every 6 hours while on shift, and then every 1–2 hours once I am home in the evenings and overnight.

- Please inform me of any dietary restrictions, allergies, or medications your pet requires. Additionally, let me know if there are specific areas they prefer not to be touched, or if they do not interact well with other animals, as this may affect park or trail visits. It is also helpful to know whether your pet is comfortable riding in the car.
