Flexible schedule for many pets!
Pet care experience
**I specialize in kitties!*** I have had my own cat since I was fourteen, and had 3 dogs as a child. I have plenty experience cat sitting for family friends and have also dog-sat for 3 families since I was 18. I also have experience caring for bearded dragons as I have one at home. I’m confident I could pick up easily on other exotic pets as well.
Reviews
I have never, in my life, felt as comfortable being away from my cats as when Dakota had been watching them. It's clear she has a connection with cats, even the ones who don't come out for anyone came out for her! She is very responsive to communication and just wants to do a good job. We will book Dakota any time we can!
Dakota clearly loves animals and did fantastic work with our senior cat. All care and meds perfectly administered,with extra doses of affection. A solid recommendation!
I hate to write this because I want her to be available when I need her haha. Dakota is an EXCELLENT pet sitter. I have her housesit for longer trips as well and she is reliable, respectful of my home always, and my pets absolutely love her. If I could give her ten stars I would!
Repeat customer and will continue to come back to Dakota. She sends daily updates with pictures and our dogs love her. She even handles when our one dog has some anxiety problems when relieving himself sometimes, Dakota clearly cares well for him, gives him medicine and spends the time to ensure he feels better!

I make sure to take all information needed for a pets' comfort and safety, and implement the information. Making sure they are fed, clean and safe is always top priority. If your pet has special needs or takes medication, please let me know - I have experience in this realm and can comfort you in knowing your fur baby will be well cared for.
Information Dakota W. would like to know about your pet
Knowing a dog’s food aggressions is super important, along with their normal routine for feeding and walking. Knowing if a pet needs medication and how to administer is also important information. Questions I forget to ask sometimes: -What is your pet’s energy level? Do they normally take daily walks? -What are rules for pets on your furniture? -How long can your pet be left alone? -I substitute teach as a part-time job. This is typically scheduled the day before (I self schedule). Will this impact your dogs typical schedule if your work schedule is not a normal 9-5?
A typical day
A typical day involves making sure pets are well-fed and given lots of scratches and pets. Playing with toys and games is also a must in a day.

Availability
As a graduate-level student, I have a pretty flexible schedule. I have the ability to work around classes to fit your needs. Whenever your pet needs care, we can make it work! **I am at a point now where I no longer do overnight care out of my home. I am more than happy to watch your pup all day, many times throughout the day, and leave at bedtime and come back early in the morning. I use nighttime to snuggle my own fur babies.😊**
