Experienced Pet Care Specialist

Pet care experience

Hello, If you're looking for a capable and compassionate friend to keep your pet company while you travel; look no further! My name is Dominic, and I appreciate you considering me to care for your pet(s) I specialize in over night stays where your animal gets to stay in the comfort of their home and have the same routine they'd have if you were there. This helps keep their stress down and you with peace of mind. I'm based in Granite Bay but travel to the Bay Area a lot due to requests from when I worked with a company there. With about a decade of experience in the pet care industry, I offer reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate service. My professional background is diverse, between working with animals, I also worked in In-Home Supportive Services, the private Security Industry, and even done extensive forestry with State Parks and the California Conservation Corps. This blend has honed my sense of responsibility, vigilance, and forging a deep respect and for caring for others—whether people, pets, property or nature in general. In my personal time, I'm a photographer, gamer, and artist. This means I'm naturally a home-based presence, perfect for keeping your pet company. I'm also happy to provide you with great photos of your furry friend throughout my stay. You can travel with peace of mind, knowing your pet is in empathetic hands and your home is safe with a capable and trustworthy professional.

------------- >> Dominic has shown his skills and love for animals over the last 15 years I've known him. My cat adores him. I've watched him gently care for his own cat through many years of both health and illness, even up to his last days. Many a time I've wanted to meet up with Dominic for lunch or dinner only to be told he's busy walking dogs, housesitting for various animals, or unwilling to leave an animal he's been entrusted to take over medical needs while its owner is out of town. His experience is varied and met with professional responses. He takes his job very seriously -- and I trust him implicitly with my own home, pets, and plants. Long story short: You'll love this quirky gentleman!

I have engaged Dominic’s services many times over the years to care for my cats when I’ve gone on multiple vacations. I’ve been extremely pleased with his work. He’s reliable affordable and completely trustworthy. Every time I’ve returned from vacation I have come home to find my house clean free of pet smells with my pets very calm. While I was away, he would send me daily updates about how my kitties were doing. This gave me a great feeling of reassurance that my precious babies were being paid attention to and loved in my absence. I would highly recommend his services.

I can’t recommend this dog sitter enough. He’s been taking care of my dog for the past 3 years, and I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else. From day one, he’s been reliable, patient, and genuinely caring—not just doing a job, but really building a bond with my dog. Anytime I’ve needed help, whether it was last-minute or planned, he’s always been dependable and communicative. I never have to worry when I’m away because I know my dog is safe, happy, and well taken care of. You can tell he truly loves animals, and that makes all the difference. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and great with dogs, I highly recommend him. Your pet will be in good hands. 12/10 will always come back.

I recently hired Dominic to look after my kitty while away on vacation. He responded promptly to my inquiry and exceeded expectations with communication throughout our arrangement. Thanks the daily photos and updates he provided, I felt at ease while away and assured that my cat was in good hands. Dominic is kind, reliable and trustworthy. I would happily hire him again. 😊
