A typical day

Wake up (I allow dogs on furniture) to a potty break then breakfast . We have play time which is more intense play for big dogs and gentle play for small dogs. and after lots of fun we Go for a nice long walk(sometimes 2) then back home for lunch and we usually do an activity each day like swimming or hide and seek with treats. By the time your pup is ready to be picked up, he or she will be pleasantly tired and ready for cuddles!

Pet care experience

I have volunteered at many dog shelters and have experience with every type of dog! Expect top notch care with frequent long dog walks (options available for longer walks and group walks for socialization) and nonstop play! Calming music and bathing is available upon request! I am also experienced in dogs with medical history and medication administering. When your pet stays here they are family!

my dog has been doing doggy daycare with dominic for a week now but she already loves it so much. she’s always so excited when we get there and loves being around the other dogs! i can tell dominic truly cares about my baby simply by his demeanor and he always has detailed info about her day. 10/10 recommend trusting him with your precious pet!

Dominic was incredible to work with and extremely kind, and I appreciate how attentive he was with updates on how my senior dog Cinder was doing. He got lots of love and exercise and came home a very happy boy! It was a great boarding experience and I couldn’t recommend him enough, the thought that he puts into dog care went the extra mile and I know my furbaby was in a great place while I had to be away :)

We loved having Dominic watch Harley. He sent plenty of updates and pictures and I would feel safe leaving Harley with him again! She was a very happy girl coming home.

Dominic was awesome. He really was interested in the care and special needs of my dog, Gunner. Dominic sent daily updates and pictures of Gunner. It seemed my family was more interested in the daily updates than the daily events we were planning. Gunner was well taken care of during his stay. Doug
