Safety, trust & environment

I currently help care for two indoor cats in the house where I live (owners are my roommates). I make sure they receive love, attention, every day, as well as making sure the cat boxes are cleaned regularly to avoid odors and potential airborne illness. Similarly, I will make sure your animals receive the same amount of care, if not more, as to make sure your and your loved ones’ needs are met!

Information Dakotah A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your baby or babies have any autoimmune stuff going on, as well as any PTSD, anxiety, depression, tummy issues, urination problems, etc. I strive to make sure each animal gets the appropriate care as to make sure they end up feeling relaxed, and/or more joyful than when I started with them. These are souls that need catering to, and that is a high priority value of mine when taking care of your babies!

A typical day

I am no stranger animal-human recreation! I love to play hide-and-seek, tug of war, laser tag, fetch, etc! I also enjoy giving tummy rubs & playful tickles (with animal/pet owner permission), good "scritches", massages, the like. I refuse to let my devices consume valuable pet play time, and I promise to make sure your babies are having fun, or at least a relaxing, zen time.

Pet care experience

Having always had a deep love and connection with animals, I’ve been caring for pets of all ages and kinds since I was a wee kiddo. Since the beginning, I’ve approached every animal with a big heart, and a smile, whether it’s with dogs, cats, birds, rodents, reptiles, amphibians, or even insects. I promise to do everything I can to ensure that you, your loved ones, and your home are treated with the respect and care you deserve.

Dakotah took great care of the pups and our home while we were gone for a few days. It was nice to get updates letting us know how things were going and seeing cute pics!

Dakotah took time for a meet and greet and had great communication. He took good care of our two pups and left our home nice and clean. We would definitely reach out again next time we are looking for a sitter!

Dakotah has been great with our dogs, we trusted them to watch them in our home while out of town and they left the house tidy and the dogs happy 😊 I would recommend Dakotah to anyone who needs someone to trust with their pups that need care whether its a daily walk or an overnight. Dakotah communicates well and makes sure you feel like your fur babies are well cared for and loved. This Dakota had to hire another Dakotah to care for my pups haha!

Dakotah is an excellent animal caretaker! A natural! I know that he has experience with dogs, cats, and even parrots! He's really good about taking good long walks with the dogs, and getting them plenty of exercise. He is the sweetest person and a genuine good heart! Highly recommend!
