Pet care experience
I believe dogs have this special ability to bond strongly with people, and I think it is a beautiful privilege to have a dog in your life. I grew up with a dog who is 10 years old now and he is happy and healthy! I always work to be kind and caring for the dog or dogs present. As well, I am rarely annoyed by how persistent a dog may be for attention, I could spend hours snuggling! *rates are not set in stone! I am willing to adjust based on individual situations Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I have not been active for a few months but am again ready to care for your pups! I carry hand sanitizer with me and a washable home-made face mask when going outside. Upon request I also have disposable rubber gloves that i can wear while caring for your pup. I am finishing up some college credits at The School of the Art Institute this semester and have loads of time to contribute to taking care of your lovely fur babies! I need excuses to go on (safe and socially distanced) walks, and a walk is always better with a buddy! P. S. Benny lives with my parent’s in NYC, not with me in Chicago :)
Reviews
Dakota was so incredible and patient with my super anxious pup! Expert level communication, really sweet photos, and overall just lovely person! We hope to work with Dakota again for future dogsitting needs, she’s a dream and will take the best care for your pup!
Dakota was fantastic! Great communication, punctual, and a natural with our gigantic, elderly pup. Thanks!
Dakota is the best. Incredibly communicative, caring, and worked wonders with my super anxious rescue dog. Provided great pup photos and video, and even left a detailed note of the day! Highly highly recommend and cannot wait to work with her again :) Thank you Dakota!!!!!
Dakota was absolutely amazing with my dog Gabby. She was very communicative, especially when Gabby was initially a bit scared which made me feel much better. She sent lots of pictures/videos. Would definitely recommend☺️

When in your home I can attentively watch and listen as your dog roams the house or crate them if requested. As well i always make sure a dogs leash is secure before leaving the home and that I have two hands on the leash! I am careful not to leave people food or other items in mouths reach!
Information Dakota S. would like to know about your pet
Please notify me of any special needs your dog has and I will do my best to accommodate! The more I know the better I can care for them, even if its just a favorite toy or spot in the house, or favorite place to walk :)
A typical day
If applicable, I will bring your pet to parks and/or dog parks for a nice bit of socializing and play time! I also enjoy scenic walks, such as walking by water or through new areas. I love to play with dogs, if they like to be chased or to chase me we can run around! Tug-of-war always, and of course fetch! *All the above still applies, but I will keep COVID-19 regulations in mind and will take protective measures myself, such as wearing a face mask!

I’m currently working five days a week, Sunday-Thursday. Sunday 12-6, the rest 10:30-7. Sadly this makes it harder for me to care for pups with separation anxiety, but hopefully we can work something out!
