Pet care experience

Working with pets since 2012.

I have thirteen plus years experience in pet care and retail management with all types of critters. I can easily say pets are my passion. ❤️ I have 10 years experience working at Petco and three currently with Petsmart. I have been an animal lover since birth! I am very flexible with needs of my clients and their fur babies. I am willing and able to watch your babies at my apartment and treat them like royalty. Depending on your dogs needs crating is available, free range, or seclusion to one room of the house. If staying at my home your fur baby will be accompanied by my mini dachshund Frankie, Slinky another mini, and Benny a corgi mix. We also have two kitties, a couple birds, and one bearded dragon. (Bird and reptile caged of course.) Our home also has a fenced in yard and I am able to take the dogs out as frequently as requested.

Doggy Day Care • Dec 06, 2025

Dakota is a sweet dog sitter and a big plus is that our pup got to know her dogs too. Her house is perfect for dogs and you can see that she really loves what she does!! We are very happy with her a a safe place for our puppy to go when we are out for a longer time.

My Slinky dog didn't love everyone, but she loved Dakota. Thank you for keeping my girl safe and loved when I wasn't home.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in yard and multiple areas of the home where your pet can be secluded if they become overwhelmed. (Including our finished basement that no other pets can go.) I take great pride in my babies and I will with yours also. Our pets are beyond spoiled and I’d love to spoil yours too. 🥰

A typical day

Days I am available I am able to spend most of my day spending time with your furry friend; whether that means they need exercise or some time alone to cuddle! Stays at my place may include walks around the block, ( if approved by the pets fur mom or dad! ) And fun time in the yard. (You should also see our toy bin.)

Please let me know in advanced how your dog or cat gets along with other fur babies! Also it is good to know if you’re baby is crate trained or not. If staying with me I have options. I can crate your dog, give them free range, or seclude them to an area if overwhelmed. I am willing to work with you and your needs. Also please inform me of any special needs in advanced! ☺️
