Active Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I currently attend NMC part-time for aviation. I typically have a very flexible schedule to meet your needs! I work as Shipt Shopper, so I can tailor my schedule to be home with the dogs or make house visits during any time of day. I currently have a 4 month old puppy named Macy who is a German Shorthaired pointer, Lab, Jack Russell, Chihuahua mix. I am also a volunteer at CHS. I have experience with dogs big to small and young to old. I have experience with dogs with aggression issues, separation anxiety and special needs. I have also always had kitties and I am comfortable taking care of them. I have years of experience with a variety of different reptiles and small mammals as well. My goal is to provide the specific care you need for your pets to keep them happy and healthy! Entrusting your babies with someone else can be hard, and I strive for clear communication and a trusting bond with your animals to make them, and you, comfortable.

Henry is a feisty little terrier and doesn't do well with other dogs so kennels are a problem. He got along great with Mazy and seemed to enjoy his stay. We appreciated the daily updates and photos. Felt very confident that he was in good hands. No hesitation in boarding again with Dakota.

Dakota was amazing! From the meeting to drop off and pick up she was awesome! Received great pics at the right balance knowing that we were disconnecting and on vacation! Dozer enjoyed playing with his new puppy friend and is a bit depressed with out all of the fun on return home! Would highly recommend Dakota!

I confidently left Mic with Dakota for a week while I traveled out of state. I never worried about him, nor did I need to. He was in good hands! Thank you Dakota for taking such good care of my fuzzy buddy!

Chuck’s 1st ever boarding went well. Appreciated the pictures & a daily comment didn’t always happen but would be great especially for us 1st timers. Dakota was flexible for drop off & pick up times & the environment was welcoming.

Information Dakota W. would like to know about your pet

I am completely open to any size, breed, age or species of animals. I am okay with dog breeds considered “aggressive”. Just please let me know if there’s anything special I should be aware of beforehand, and I am willing to work with it!

A typical day

We live in a quiet subdivision with wooded trails that are perfect for walks. With permission, we also like to go stretch our legs on the TART trails. Although our yard space is limited we have plenty of opportunity to play inside and outside to get energy out!
