Pet care experience
I have nine plus years experience in pet care and retail management with all types of critters. I can easily say pets are my passion. ❤️ I generally work an average of 35 hours a week at a major pet retail store and have two days off. For pet parents whose pets require more attention I am available to request off work more days for a higher fee and advanced notice. Anyways marked unavailable I am unavailable because of a confirmed fur babies appointment. ❤️❤️❤️ 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 or come to you. Depending on your dogs needs (in my home or yours) crating is available, free range, or seclusion to one room of the house. If staying at my apartment your for baby will be accompanied by my mini dachshund Frankie, two kitties, parakeet, and one bearded dragon. (Bird and reptile caged of course.)
Reviews
Dakota was an amazing sitter for my miniature sheltie. I had to leave out of town for a few days on business and she was amazing, she kept up with all his needs and left his dog room in better condition then when I left. With daily check up and pictures of my dog, I will definitely be making her my go to choice for a sitter!!!!!!
When we did our meet-and-greet with Dakota, she was friendly and we thought she would do well. Unfortunately, we did not have a good experience at all. Dakota watched our dog and cat for 2 evenings , staying overnight. Dakota was told specifically that she could not bring her small dog to our house. Our cat is large and very aggressive towards dogs not in his pack. It was for her dog’s own safety, as our cat could severely injure a small dog. When we came home, we found a small dog poop on our carpet (our dog is a Pyr…so not from her) and a small pee patch upstairs. We asked Dakota if she brought her dog over, and she was honest and said yes. Regardless of the reason the dog was brought over, we were never asked, told, or made aware she was doing this. We only found out because we came home from vacation to dog poop on our carpet. We feel bad giving a negative review, especially for someone trying to work a side gig, but we don’t feel Dakota treated our home, or wishes, with respect. We cannot recommend her services to anyone else based on the issues we experienced.
Princess stay was great i recieved pictures and updates very happy i will use her again
Dakota watched my dog a few times, and I’ve always never had a bad experience. My dog loves her and actually whines when she sees her!
