Hi there! I’m available for pet sitting after 3:30 PM on weekdays and open on weekends. I work full-time during the day but make your pet’s care a top priority when I’m off. If you’re looking for reliable, compassionate care in the afternoons or weekends, I’d love to help!

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for pets—whether in my home or a client’s—is something I take to heart. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care based on their routine, needs, and personality. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, play, and rest. In a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible, keeping pets comfortable and stress-free in their familiar space. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, just like family.

Information Dominique C. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know a pet routine, any medical needs, temperament, triggers. The more I know, the better I can care for them just like you would.

A typical day

When I watch dogs, I like to keep things, fun and simple – walks, fetch, light training, games, or just relaxing with belly, rubs, and attention

Pet care experience

What Sets me Apart? Love, Experience, and Trust. I'm just not a dog walker — I'm a lifelong animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. We know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust when you can’t be there. What makes me different is simple: I lead with care. I don’t rush through walks or treat this like a numbers game. Every dog I work with gets our full attention, patience, and affection — because that’s what they deserve. I take the time to learn your dog’s routines, quirks, and comfort zones. Whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and sensitive, I adjust to their needs and make sure they feel safe, understood, and happy while you’re away. This isn’t just a service — it’s a relationship built on trust, reliability, and compassion. Because when you leave your dog with someone, you’re not just handing over a leash — you’re handing over peace of mind. And I take that seriously.

Dominique was wonderful as ever. She was proactive in communication, and clearly took great care of our dog. Stella will look forward to staying with her again!

My two dogs had a great time relaxing and going on walks with Dominique. They had been on the road with me for two days and needed a. quiet place to relax while I had the movers deliver all of my stuff. She updated me frequently. She has a very nice house and fenced yard. I will definitely send them back to her again!

I think Violet fell in love with them immediately. Think she fit right in.
