About: Animals—especially dogs—are my passion! I have over a decade of experience pet-sitting and grooming dogs, and have owned, fostered and cared for dogs, cats and exotic pets of all breeds and sizes in my home since I was very young. I have always been particularly passionate about caring for and working with dogs. I am the proud owner of two Australian Shepherds, who I enjoy training in behavior and agility. If you're in need of someone who is loving, patient and trustworthy to look after your dog(s), please don't hesitate to reach out! I look forward to having the opportunity to care for your beloved fur babies, and promise to love them like they’re my own while you’re away. *I have experience working as a dog groomer—I offer bathing services at an additional cost! Feel free to ask.* I currently work remotely full time, so I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide attentive care to your dog(s). I have a fenced-in backyard and two friendly Australian Shepherds to keep your dog company. Your dog will have as much supervised outside play time as they would like, and will have free roam of the main floor of my house at other times. If you prefer your pet to be crated at times, just let me know your preference and I’ll be happy to accommodate. ***Note: to avoid stomach upset/any allergic reactions, dogs in my care will ONLY be given food and/or treats supplied and approved by their owner. Additionally, to help protect my family, home and other dogs in my care, I ask that owners please ensure their dogs are up to date with flea/tick/worm preventative. If parasites are found, a $100 cleaning fee will apply.***

Dominique V.
“I have had nothing but good experiences with Domi walking my pet. My dogs are large and can be a bit hard to handle because they have lots of energy and strength but she always had full control and was able to walk them with no issues. That’s hard to find! She’s also watched them over nights and I always noticed them looking so clean and brushed, they love Domi and I refuse to use anyone else. She’s also great with my cat and he hates everyone😂”
