Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat-loving librarian
I have been a cat owner (or.. employee/butler to cats..) for nearly two decades and have taken care of other folks' cats many times for at least the past 10 years. When I cat sit, I like to play with them first, before they eat. They are more motivated to get exercise that way, and less likely to throw up. Then, I feed them, and while their food settles, scoop the litter box(es), wash their food dishes, and refill their water. Then I play with them again! If I don't have anywhere to be after the 30-minute visit is up, I've been known to bring a book and read for a bit so the cats have some company. Sometimes they want to sit with me, and sometimes not, but I think it's good for the cats to know they are not alone. I won't linger if the owners don't want me to. :)

Ratings and reviews
Dominque was very attentive in feeding our cat while we were away. She went above and beyond in communicating what she was doing, and sent lots of pictures. I felt very comfortable leaving Luna in her hands and would definitely book her again!
Dominique was very kind and helpful with the cats! I hate leaving them, but Dominique sent lots of pictures and made sure they were well taken care of! She always came right on time and stayed to make sure the cats had enough play time. Overall, a fantastic cat sitter!
Phenomenal cat sitter! Plays with and spends time with my cat. Sends lots of pictures, videos and updates! Highly recommend Dominique!
Dominique did a great job with our felines. They seemed to enjoy their daily visits and we received comprehensive reports on them as well as photos that captured their personalities. We could relax on our trip knowing that they were in good hands!
Dominique was amazing! So communicative and provided great comfort for me and my pet while I was out of town. Went above and beyond to provide for my pet!
Fantastic sitter! My cat was so happy and well taken care of. Dominique went above and beyond in taking care of Alina, sending picture and videos, giving my cat new toys and playing with Luna.
