Highlights
Pet care experience
I love dogs more than people.
I don’t remember life without dogs. I truly enjoy meeting new dogs. I currently have a mini Maltese that has traveled the world with me. I once spent a few days in quarantine with him prior to entering a foreign island.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Dominique boarded my 2 dogs for 2 nights & they were well taken care of. It was a big relief to know they were in a safe place while away from me.

Schedule
I’m currently working from home and have all the time in the world to love your pet. I prefer to pull up to the pets home to keep them comfortable in their own environment.

I have a fenced back yard. I also live one block from the coastal trail and love to take walks enjoying the fresh air and safe trails.
