Pet care experience

Reliable Pet Walker and Sitter!

I have worked with and cared for dogs of all ages(including senior care), sizes, breeds and even temperaments. I’m grateful to have grown up in a pet loving household where I learned how to properly care for dogs. Starting in my teen year I began dog-sitting quite regularly. I’m college I continued to do so and also picked up a part time job working at dog groomers bathing the dogs. Now, working full-time as a SPED Teacher, I have my own dog and help care for my parents dogs on a regular basis. I know the importance of finding someone who is reliable to help meet your pets needs whether that be feeding them, playing with them, walking them or even administering vital medicines. I want to provide the care that I would want for my own pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a a 3 year Golden Retriever who is full of energy and loves to play with all dogs! I have a fenced in backyard to give your pet space to run. I have an XL crate to use if needed. I also have a park behind my house that is in walking distance that has a GREAT dog park. If you would choose for me to watch your pet from your own home. I learn quickly and with instructions given can follow your wishes to the best my ability!

Dakota takes such great care of our senior dog! He is needy and she has such patience with him. We are grateful he is well tended to when we go out of town. Dakota is also a great communicator and addresses any concerns quickly.

Schedule

I am currently a SPED Teacher. I typically work from 7:30-4:30. I would love to help with walking pets after work, feeding pets dinner, or even welcoming them into my own house to watch over for a few days as needed.
