Flexible, available anytime, all breeds welcome!

Hi there! I’m Dakota, and I absolutely love dogs 🥰 I’ve owned large breeds my entire life, including Shepherds, Mastiffs, and an American Akita. I’m calm, confident, and experienced both personally and professionally with reactive dogs, dogs that display guarding behaviours, and dogs that may be nervous or anxious. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I carefully follow their routines and schedules, respect their training and individual commands, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, play, and positive attention. I’m available for both house sitting and dog walking, so your pet can stay happy and relaxed in familiar surroundings.

Dakota has been amazing with our dog Bear. He has been so well looked after, with lots of long walks and plenty of love and affection. Thank you Dakota for coming to the rescue and making our Christmas care free - we knew he would be happy with you and thank you for all the updates as well, it was great to have the odd picture and video!

We were extremely pleased and impressed with the way Dakota looked after our two dogs at our house. Dakota kept us informed about all that was going on back home and sent many photos of the dogs enjoying themselves and being treated ... we would definitely have Dakota to house and dog sit again ... thank you Dakota

Would give 100 stars 🌟 My dogs are my furry children, (Rhodesian Ridgeback & English Bull Terrier) I get so anxious about leaving them so we often take them with us on our travels! Dakota is amazing, made me feel at ease straight away as wanted someone to be confident around them especially as they can bark/get overly excited when someone comes into the house. I had her do a house sit for me, came so early in the morning before we left, took them out on lots of walks… They are worn out! 👏🏼 Sent me lots of photos, lots of updates, left our house spotlessly clean, took in my parcels and even asked if we needed anything doing! Have already booked her in again. Will continue using Dakota going forward, especially now my dogs know her well and are settled with her! Highly recommend and am so glad to of found you. Thankyou <3

We 💯 absolutely recommend Dakota. We were due to get married and couldn’t find anyone we liked for our two dogs (a big American Bulldog Mastiff and our mixed breed Romanian ex-street dog - both rescues) and Dakota came to the rescue for us. She’s calm, she’s reliable, she’s absolutely lovely and the dogs adored her. We came home to more relaxed dogs than ever. We asked her to stayed in our home because we felt so comfortable with her being there and we went and enjoyed our wedding without worrying at all. We couldn’t rate her highly enough and want her to come back and walk our big dog and help us with some bits of training too, because she knows much more than we do. Thank you so much! Rosie & Eddie
