Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat-loving librarian
I have been a cat owner (or.. employee/butler to cats..) for 15 years, 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
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.
Dominique was AMAZING! She went above and beyond to keep my cat happy and worn out (in a good way), kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, and went out of her way to keep my cat warm when my window burst open in the winter. Her macgyver skills are as excellent as her cat skills! I was amazed by how quickly my cat took to her and how great she was at finding how to engage with him both in play and in cuddling. Hesitant to write a nice review as I hope I can selfishly keep her available for myself in the future ;)
This is our second time using Dominique to care for our cat. She makes a real effort to ensure our cat feels comfortable and takes the time to play with her. We’d be happy to book her again and next time we are out of town.
Dominique was great! She showed up on time, took care of our fur babies and send reports, pictures and videos! We felt very comfortable with her care and could relax during our time away.
Dominique was incredible with my two cats! She paid great attention to detail and sent lovely pictures and write ups of her visits with my cats. Both cats were happy when I returned, and Dominique made it so I could relax during my time away from home and the cats. I highly recommend working with Dominique!!
