Pet care experience
Premium, Attentive Pet Care
I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide mindful, intentional care with plenty of walks, potty breaks, playtime, photos, and updates so you can feel confident while you’re away! I’m naturally very attentive and want every dog to feel safe, loved, and understood. Some dogs want constant play and adventure, some need time to warm up, and others just want a calm, cozy space to relax. I adjust my care based on their energy, personality, and routine so they feel comfortable instead of overwhelmed. For boarding and day care, I offer a separate pet friendly playroom where your pet can settle in, decompress, and feel at home. This gives them space to explore at their own pace and ease into a new environment comfortably. I only take on what I can handle well, so your pet gets thoughtful, personalized attention. My clients often mention that I’m responsive, communicative, caring, and responsible, and that their pets feel comfortable with me. That trust means the world to me, and I take it seriously. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I always appreciate details about feeding, medications, behavior, leash habits, energy level, and how your dog does around other pets. My goal is simple: safe, loving, premium care that keeps your pet happy and keeps you fully updated for peace of mind.

Ratings and reviews
Dom was so attentive and took great care of our puppy over a long weekend! He came to stay at our house and kept Beans on a steady routine. He sent 2x daily check-ins and photos, which were much appreciated! He also left our house spotless and we felt so safe knowing that he was watching over things while we were away. Highly recommend Dom!
Dominic was great and really helped me out at the last minute!! And Rockie loves him :) Definitely my go-to dogsitter. Rockie and I are so glad we found him!!

Dom was wonderful to Marlin for a last minute booking. He kept me informed and sent multiple pictures. He even had a bedroom for just Marlin if needed. Can’t thank him enough for his love and attention he gave my dog!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule and do my best to build each booking around your pet’s normal routine. I’m available throughout the week and on weekends, and I like to review care details ahead of time so I can make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and settled. For boarding and day care, I plan my day around walks, potty breaks, playtime, rest, and updates based on your pet’s energy level and needs. For house sitting and drop ins, I keep routines as consistent as possible so your pet and home feel cared for while you’re away. I only take on what I can handle well, so every pet gets thoughtful attention instead of feeling like just another booking.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I take the time to understand their personality, behavior, needs, and any special instructions so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and reassuring. In my home, pets have a calm, clean, pet friendly environment with a separate playroom where they can settle in, decompress, and explore at their own pace. I’m thoughtful about introductions, personal space, potty breaks, walks, rest time, and keeping each pet comfortable without overwhelming them. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect and attention I would want in my own. I’m mindful with doors, locks, routines, feeding instructions, medications, updates, and anything else that helps you feel confident while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for with real attention.

A typical day
A typical day depends on your pet’s personality, routine, and energy level. I like to keep dogs engaged without overstimulating them, so the day may include walks around my pet friendly apartment community, potty breaks, playtime, rest, photos, and plenty of attention. For active dogs, I’m happy to build in longer walks, outdoor time, and play in the pet room so they can get their energy out in a safe, thoughtful way. For calmer dogs, seniors, or pets who need time to warm up, I keep things relaxed with shorter walks, cozy downtime blankets, and a steady routine. For boarding and day care, pets have access to a separate playroom where they can settle in, decompress, and explore at their own pace. I always follow your care instructions as closely as possible so your pet’s day feels familiar, comfortable, and full of the right kind of attention.
