Pet care experience
Hi. I'm Dominique, a very responsible woman in the 39-49 age range. I'm a freelance business manager and I worked from home even before COVID. The home I share with my equally animal-loving husband has a small, fenced yard with grass, a patio and an upper garden bed that pups love to poop and dig in. Just 4 houses down, on the same street, is a beautiful playground and beyond that a large green space and enclosed dog park. If boarded with us, Fido will get plenty of attention and just the right amount of activity. (If Fido needs lots of walks and exercise, we can do that. If Fido is elderly, injured, heat-sensitive or just a lazy couch potato, we're good with that, too.) I'm an experienced caregiver for dogs of all sizes and ages, including "aggressive" breeds, too. Bring on the pit bulls, Am Staffs and Akitas, etc. We live in Windswept Waters and we would love to be a temporary resource for your pet. Bonus: it forces me to look up from the computer more often. Fido and I both need some sunlight and fresh air for work/life balance. Thanks for reading!
Reviews
Was able to watch on short notice, took great care of my pup and in general are some good people! Thank you so much
10/10; can't wait to book again. Dominique was super responsive, and provided a bunch video and photo updates each day. I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
Dominique is the best! She took such great care of my senior dog and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and comfortable. Dominique was very easy to communicate with and sent daily updates, photos, and videos. I could relax on vacation knowing my dog was in great hands. I would not hesitate to contact her again when I need someone to watch my old guy.
Dominique is great!!!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced backyard that is very secure. Dogs will be leashed and/or harnessed any time we are not in the house, backyard or the off leash dog park in my neighborhood (if appropriate). Any dogs staying overnight with your dog or just visiting will be dogs I know very well or we will have a visit beforehand for everyone to sniff and investigate.
Home
Information Dominique R. would like to know about your pet
Diet needs, medication needs, any behavior issues like separation anxiety or resource guarding, training methods used by owners so I can reinforce those and not deviate too much. No breed preferences.
A typical day
We will mostly walk around my neighborhood of Windswept Waters, including the park and off-leash dog park, if appropriate. If interested and able, though, the hubby and I do like the occasional hike. We won't go too far with Fido, but maybe something close that allows dogs on the trail? Also lots of snuggling on the sofa and some fetch and zoomies in the yard.

Availability
I work not quite full time as a freelancer, from home. I can take frequent breaks in the morning or afternoon for play time outside, walks, potty breaks or feeding. Hubby and I walk pretty much every night after dinner, with dogs or without.
