I honestly can’t rate Dominic highly enough. He’s a genuine treasure - and finding him has been a literal Godsend. I’ve been looking for the perfect doggie friend to look after my three darlings in my own home as I need to go away regularly to visit my dear elderly Dad - and can’t feasibly take a Doberman and two lively terriers dogs on public transport from Manchester to Surrey! Dominic is even nicer in person than on his profile. He is very personable, warm, calm and professional - and his love of animals is immediately evident. I took my youngest doggie (a loveable, very boisterous terrier boy with some behavioural challenges…) along for an initial meet-up with Dom a couple of weeks before his stay. Within a few minutes of his arrival, my little one had jumped up and across the table to get into Dom’s arms for an enthusiastic cuddle :) I felt completely confident leaving Dom in charge of my home and little creatures when I set off to my Dad’s for four nights - and I was right to do so. Regular texts, photos or videos arrived each day (the dogs clearly enjoying themselves too much with their new friend to be missing me at all!) - and on my return I found them on excellent form, calm and happy. And Dom is so tidy that it didn’t look like anyone had been staying here! It was such a relief and comfort to be able to concentrate on my Dad knowing that my doggies were being so well-loved and cared for in my absence. I (and the dogs!) hope to be able to have Dom back here regularly. Thank you again, Dom! Love from your new top fans Margaux, Hattie and Rupert :)

I always have Dominic look after my pup when I am away for work or holidays as it means I can fully relax knowing he is with someone he loves (more than me sometimes!) and someone I can trust. I get sent picture updates of my baby enjoying walks, treats, naps and cuddles which is always great to see when I am so far away! He has been great and very reliable on occassions where I have had travel delays when returning from work trips and has always accomadated those delays with no issues so that my pup is never left alone! Thank you for everything you do, Dom! We both cannot wait to see you again in a few weeks!

Dominic has a love for all animals and that shows in the way that he treats and cares for every one that he has been entrusted with. He is the only person that I have ever trusted to take care of my French Bulldog. She gets excited when she knows that she will see him and misses him when he is not around.

As a dog owner residing in Newcastle for the past couple of years, finding reliable and trustworthy care for my beloved pet Sox has been paramount. Thankfully, I stumbled upon Dom, whose exceptional service has exceeded all expectations. Dom has been Sox's dog sitter for over two years, and I cannot emphasize enough how invaluable his care has been. From the moment Sox and Dom met, it was evident that a special bond had formed. Dom's genuine affection for dogs is one of a kind, and it reflects in every interaction he has with them. What sets Dom apart is his dedication to the well-being and happiness of the pets under his care. He goes above and beyond to ensure that Sox receives not only the essentials but also ample love, attention, and engagement. Whether it's leisurely walks in the park, engaging playtime sessions, or simply cuddling up for some quality bonding time, Dom consistently provides Sox with a nurturing and stimulating environment. Beyond his natural love for dogs, Dom's professionalism and reliability is truly commendable. He is always punctual, communicative, and accommodating, making the entire pet-sitting experience seamless and stress-free for both Sox and myself. In conclusion, if you're in search of a dog sitter who not only meets but surpasses all expectations, look no further than Dom. His genuine love for dogs, exceptional care, and dedication make him a true gem in the realm of pet care. Though his departure from Newcastle is bittersweet, I would welcome him back with open arms should he ever return. Thank you, Dom, for being Sox's second best friend and for enriching our lives with your extraordinary care.

Dominic looked after Freddie my labradoodle whilst I was for four days. I can not rate Dominic enough, he went above and beyond for Freddie. Unfortunately, Freddie is a nervous reactive dog and can be hard work. I was a little bit nervous trusting someone else to look after him but he was in great hands with Dominic. He checked in with me throughout my trip away and updated me with pictures of them together which put my mind at ease knowing Freddie was having fun and was well looked after. I will be using him again when I go away in the summer. Freddie had the best time and made a new best friend he can’t wait for the next time. Thank you again from Terrie and Freddie.

I have used Dominic on several occasions to look after my 5 year old Staffy Milo while I have been on holiday and I highly recommend him. Milo is very hypoactive so needs someone who is great with dogs and who as a lot of patience and Dominic fits that bill. He has always been great with time keeping and is flexible if we decide on a longer stay. He keeps us up to date with Milo's activities on a daily basis which puts our minds at rest. I couldn't be happier with the service.

I can be pretty flexible I do work Monday to Friday but work from home so if overnight stays are what was needed and if you have WiFi it wouldn’t be a problem. I am also not tied to my desk so can take them out whenever is needed. Willing to travel further if it’s longer than a few days
