Safety, trust & environment

I only pet-sit at the pet's home and I follow care instructions very closely. Just let me know their routine and we'll stick to it.

Information Dominique P. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to work with dogs who have attended and successfully completed obedience classes, but I can work with any dog. Please let me know if there's a behavior you're trying to encourage/discourage from your dog so that I can keep their training consistent.

A typical day

I love finding walking trails for dogs and I'm happy to curl up in a chair and read a good book with a small doggy (or a giant doggy who thinks they're a lap dog :-P ) or a cat.

Pet care experience

Not to toot my own horn, but I am my community's (un)official pet sitter. I am no longer the former police K9 assistant. I am now the "lady who took our dog on a hiking adventure so that we could enjoy our wedding weekend". I am the "friend to whom our dog got attached after a week of care". I am the "only person our cat comes out of hiding for other than family". Having had so many different experiences with so many breeds of cats and dogs in so many settings, I am confident that I can establish a positive rapport with any pet. I love having a furry friend with whom to play fetch and get in a bit of exercise. I have lots of weekday and weekend availability. Let's connect!

Dom is the best! She house sat and watched our two cats while we were on vacation for four days and did an amazing job with both of them. She was willing to meet up beforehand to get to know us and the cats. Our older cat gets very anxious when we leave but from the daily update pictures Dom sent we could tell he was very comfortable with her. Dom followed all our care instructions and made sure our cats were well fed, played with, and comfortable — would definitely work with her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
