Availability

I’m usually available any time if i’m not working my part time job which is usually scheduled in 4-6 hour shifts so you would have to be okay with me being absent for that amount of time. If house sitting is needed, I can not spend the night. I can be there a majority of the day/night to feed and play and just relax but I would leave around 11pm and come back at 7am. 🚨 IF BOOKING DAY CARE PLEASE READ 🚨 -Daycare will be hosted at my boyfriends house. -He has three dogs: a labradoodle, chocolate lab, and lab mix. -They are all amazing and friendly and love to play. -So, your dog must be good with other dogs, no exceptions! -Potty trained is also a must, no potty pads unless it is a puppy. -We have a huge fenced in yard and covered patio.

Information Dominique R. would like to know about your pet

I do require meet and greets beforehand to ensure the safety of your pet and myself. It’s also helpful to know if your dog has any reactivity (to other dogs, people, or noises), any medical issues, or specific routines I should follow. Let me know if they’re crate trained, need meds, have triggers during walks, or need space from strangers or animals. The more I know upfront, the better I can support them safely. 🚨 IF BOOKING DAY CARE PLEASE READ 🚨 -Daycare will be hosted at my boyfriends house. -He has three dogs: a labradoodle, chocolate lab, and lab mix. -They are all amazing and friendly and love to play. -So, your dog must be good with other dogs, no exceptions! -Potty trained is also a must, no potty pads unless it is a puppy. -We have a huge fenced in yard and covered patio.

A typical day

One on one playtime and a respectful approach to whatever routine you already have in place. I’ll adapt to their comfort level because my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe and supported while you’re away. 🚨 IF BOOKING DAY CARE PLEASE READ 🚨 -Daycare will be hosted at my boyfriends house. -He has three dogs: a labradoodle, chocolate lab, and lab mix. -They are all amazing and friendly and love to play. -So, your dog must be good with other dogs, no exceptions! -Potty trained is also a must, no potty pads unless it is a puppy. -We have a huge fenced in yard and covered patio.

I know of no other person who loves animals more than Dominique. All animals. There are no limits to what she would do to help or care for an animal.

Dominique is a very attentive and caring person who adores animals. She has loved and cared for her own pets since as if they were her children. I believe she understands the deep connection between a pet and pet owner owner, and would treat any animal with respect and a loving, playful demeanor.

This is the perfect job for Dominique. The love and commitment she shows to her own pets is proof. she has a passion for animals. Dominique is independent, responsible, and jumps in with both feet at any task is given.

Dominique is a pet owner herself. I have seen firsthand the love and care she offers to pets. Her and her step dad rescued and cared for an abandoned mastiff which is now part of the family. She goes above and beyond when it comes to animals. She also rescued a feral cat and kittens and found a foster home for them. She would an asset to Rover.
