About Dakota
Hi!
I'm an absolute dork for animals, and love to be around them. I would love to help look after your furry family members if you need!

I come from a family that has always had pets (currently 2 dogs and 2 cats still), and currently live with an older cat in my home here in VIC.

I'm happy to offer any services such as taking out bins, keeping lights on at night, bringing in mail, watering plants and cleaning litter as part of the job at no extra charge.

I offer day sitting as long as I can work there if it's during weekdays, nightly stays at your place if needed, or just daily visits/walking services in the surrounding area. I work and live in in the CBD, so for weekday visits I would prefer it to be within 5km of the area, but am happy to travel further on a case by case basis. During weekends, I don't really have a limit on distance if you would like a petsitter to stay at your place! I'm happy to travel and stay with your furbaby in those situations.

For petsitting at my house, I live in an apartment in the CBD with a bully of an older cat - so beware! He isn't afraid of any other animal and he's definitely the cat in charge of the household, hahaha! Please let me know in advance if you would like this service, just so I can confirm everything is okay with my roommate also.

I understand that some people prefer sitters to not stay too long at their house for personal security reasons, and some prefer if the sitter is there for as long as possible to keep their furbaby company - I'm happy to accommodate any and all requests in this instance! Cameras I'm also absolutely okay with, I'd just like to know roughly in what room they are in so that I can hopefully bring the pet closer to wave hello when I'm there!

For any daytime/lunch walks, I am available depending on my work schedule as I work full-time onsite during the week.

Please feel free to reach out! :)

Dakota stayed with our Spoodle overnight, walking, feeding and spending time with him. She took the time to let us know how he was and sent pics. He was very happy. Definitely recommend!

Dakota is absolutely fantastic and we definitely recommend her. She bonded very quickly with our Japanese Spitz Maxi and it was obvious that she would care for him well during our 2 weeks away. She was very communicative and sent many amazing pictures of Maxi. Knowing that he was happy and taken care of was very reassuring for us. The apartment was super clean and we would have her again anytime.
