Pet care is my job! This isn’t a side gig—it’s what I do every day. Whether it’s training, walking, or boarding, I’m fully dedicated to providing top-notch care for every dog I work with.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours. I create a structured, low-stress environment where dogs feel comfortable, secure, and understood. In clients' homes, I follow established routines to keep things familiar and minimize stress. With my training background, I’m always mindful of body language, behavior, and individual needs—whether it’s managing multiple dogs, ensuring safe introductions, or keeping enrichment levels high. Every pet in my care gets the attention, structure, and respect they deserve.

Information Dominic K. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I need to know about their routine, medical needs, behavior quirks, and any training they’re working on. Are they reactive to other dogs? Do they have separation anxiety? Any allergies or special dietary needs? The more I know, the better I can ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness while they’re with me.

A typical day

I make every day an adventure for the dogs in my care! Meals become enrichment with scatter feeding and nose work, engaging their natural instincts. Outings to the local park provide new smells, sights, and plenty of exercise, while structured play and training keep their minds sharp. And, of course, regular naptimes ensure they stay happy and balanced. It’s all about giving your pup the best day, every day!

Expert Training, Exceptional Care

Pet care experience

I go beyond basic pet sitting—I provide expert care tailored to your dog’s needs. With a background in canine behavior and training, I ensure your dog isn’t just cared for but also mentally engaged and set up for success. Whether it’s reinforcing training, working with puppies, or providing gentle care for seniors, I adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m known for going the extra mile, keeping owners updated with detailed reports and plenty of pictures. Your dog’s well-being and happiness are always my top priority!

Dominic is a great guy. We met him when we hired him to train our dog Thor. We had been having a lot of trouble with getting him to listen. Dominic was able to improve Thor's behavior greatly as well as showing us how to work better with him. After meeting and trusting him, we hired Dominic to walk Thor occasionally and now Thor's tail starts wagging when he hears his car. You can't go wrong with this guy.

Dominic is a certified pet trainer and has years of experience with dogs. He is one of the only people I trust with my puppy. He has a true gift for working with animals, and I would recommend him unreservedly for any pet care needs.

Dominic takes amazing care of my two Great Danes Mars and Jup. He reads dogs like a book and has a genuine passion for what he does!
