Professional Pet Lover!

As a kid, I always found myself more in-tune with nature and animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. Now, as an adult I find myself following my passion. I am currently enrolled in Veterinary Technician classes. I have my Associates a Degree in Biology, where I was able to learn in Iowa and experience farm life. I was previously a Dog Handler at a local Doggy Daycare. I workad at an Animal Hospital as a Veterinarian Assistant. I am currently a Veterinary Technician at an animal hospital in south philly. I am certified in Pet First Aid & CPR, and Animal Behavior. I absolutely love my job, and being able to care for 4-legged children is very humbling and fun! There are always new things to learn when caring for animals.

Dominique was great. Incredibly responsible. I arrived home to a happy dog and a house cleaner than I left it. I will definitely use Dominique again.

Highly recommend Dominique! Dominique did a total of 5 overnight stays at our house with our cat. She was reliable, always sent updates, quick to reply to text messages, and was overall so wonderful. The house and our cat were perfect when we got home. She went over and beyond helping with little chores like cleaning his bowls and litter box extra well. We felt so good on our trip knowing that our cat was in the hands of someone so sweet and dependable. Definitely use Dominique for your pets!

Dominique was amazing! She stayed at our house and watched our two cats while we were on a 2-week overseas trip. She was super responsive to all communication, and was patient with our neuroses while we prepared for the long trip. Our cats are not the most independent/easy creatures to care for, and she was patient and persistent in making sure their needs were met. When we returned, the house was spotless and the cats were happy and healthy. She even noticed that there was planned construction on our block and offered to move our car for us so that it wouldn't get towed. We will definitely hire her again!

Dominique was super great with our two cats! She followed our complicated instructions carefully and with patience, and was very easy to communicate with. Plus the house was in great shape when we got back.

I recently moved to Philly and needed to find a local dog sitter. I actually ran into Dominique a while back walking a Doberman and asked her if she dog sat. Lucky for me, she did, because I wanted to find a sitter who would be comfortable with my Doberman. Dominique was great and had no concerns, and rightly so since he's such a wonderful sweet dog! She sent me photos and updates daily while I was away, which were very comforting and helped me to relax and enjoy my vacation. I will definitely use her again!

I love all breeds! I would like to know if the dog is up-to-date on shot, has any allergies or require administration of medications? How old is the dog? If the dog is typically shy or pleased to meet strangers? How often are they fed? Are they socialized with humans and other animals? Leash aggression? Favorite snacks or activities? Anything that would be helpful to get to know the dog.
