3. Dominique L.
“Dominique is great and has gone above and beyond with our pups. The first time she ever helped us, our newly adopted dog had had an accident inside the apartment before she had arrived. Without asking, she kindly cleaned up after our pup. That was so helpful. Another time, our pups were afraid of going out because it was raining and she patiently tried twice to take them out to potty. She has always been very responsive and communicative. We definitely recommend her.”

About: I’m a single mom with two teenage kids and a 8y mixed breed named Rosie. I’ve always had a dog in my life. We know how hard it can be to find a affordable, reliable, and affectionate dog sitter. If we can care for your dog while you’re away, we’d be happy to help. We’re a good mix between play and snuggles. My kids are teens and responsible with animals, aren’t too loud or overbearing. Rosie likes to play with other dogs, but will give space when needed. I work a hybrid schedule (2 days in office and 3 WFH) so dogs would need to be comfortable being alone no more than a few hours. Rosie is kept in a separate room while we are out of the house, but we’re flexible with well-behaved furry friends having a run of the first floor. We have a fenced-in yard for potty breaks and can take your pup on walks or to the dog park for exercise. We have 8 steps to both our front door from our home to our yard, a consideration for any petite or senior pups.
