Hi! I’m Dakota, an 18-year-old animal lover who’d love to care for your pets and home while you’re away. 🐾 ABOUT ME I’m currently studying and play football, so I plan my days around school and training. I’m responsible, respectful, tidy and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m motivated by making pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for while their owners are away, especially by keeping them in their familiar home and normal routine. I have experience caring for pets of my own and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cuddles, cleaning up after pets and following individual routines and instructions. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing. MY AVAILABILITY I’m generally available for pet care in the mornings, afternoons and evenings depending on my school and football schedule. I’ll always discuss my availability with you beforehand and make sure I can meet your pet’s needs before accepting a booking. HOUSE SITTING House sitting is my main service. I’m able to stay in your home with your pets and keep them comfortable in their usual environment. I’m best suited to pets who are comfortable being alone for a few hours during the day while I’m at school or football. During house sitting, I can provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, cleaning up after pets and general companionship. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail and keep the home neat and secure. For home security, I’ll make sure doors and windows are secured when leaving, avoid sharing information about your home or absence, and make sure the property is left secure when I’m not there. HOME VISITS For home visits, I can spend approximately 30–60 minutes with your pet depending on their needs. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, playtime, cuddles, cleaning up and following any specific care instructions. I can also bring in mail, water plants and make sure your home and pets are safe and settled before I leave. DOG WALKING I usually offer 20–30 minute dog walks, but I’m happy to adjust the length depending on your dog’s age, energy level and usual routine. I prefer walking in quiet, pet-friendly areas and can choose a suitable route based on your dog’s confidence and behaviour around other dogs and people. ADDITIONAL CARE I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, training routines and special care instructions. I can administer medication when clear instructions are provided and the medication can be safely administered by me. I’m also happy to reinforce basic training commands that your pet already knows. I don’t offer professional grooming, but I’m happy to help with basic everyday care such as brushing if your pet is comfortable with it. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. ❤️
