Love me some pets

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes since I was about 8. I’ve always loved the opportunity to meet people’s pets, I form a good relationship with them pretty much instantaneously. I love being able to help people go on their vacations or get through their work day knowing their animal is being taken care of. My complex doesn’t allow animals, and after the passing of my own pup it’s been nice to meet so many new lil fur friends. I’d love to help you!

Dom is a kind and gentle soul and seemed to give our little ones lots of love. We appreciate his attention to various details such as special instructions for Shelby’s medication 🥰. He left our home in very good condition and was very gracious and we would definitely book him again.

Dominic was a wonderful pet sitter. He was great with communicating and sending us pictures, took our girl for lots of nice hikes and left our house spotless. Would highly recommend as a petsitter

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve been trained in dog handling and I’m very gentle but also assertive when the situation calls for it. I’m good at feeling out the animals comfort level and letting them warm up to me in whatever way will be the least stressful for them.

Information Dominic O. would like to know about your pet

Personally, I just wanna know if the dog is timid, or hyperactive just so I can gauge the interaction and how I should introduce myself to them and such. I love all animals with any crazy or not so crazy personalities.

A typical day

I love going hiking, and I also love finding a trail or area to hike through that doesn’t have a lot of other people or animals, because I feel like it adds to the experience. After living in Durango for a while I know a great deal of places to take any animal that will cater to their needs of being in a social setting or not at all. I also have a compact SUV that pretty much always has the seats down and it is very animal friendly.

I work at least 4 days a week, but luckily I have a pretty flexible schedule; that being said, any time I’m not at work would be spent with your fur child.
