Pet care experience

Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy providing a safe, structured, and loving environment while you're away. I offer in-home boarding, daycare, and training. I have two dogs of my own, including my sport dog, with whom I've earned a PSA PDC. Training & handling dogs isn't just my passion, it's my lifestyle. I'm comfortable working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs an active day of play, a calm place to relax, or help reinforcing good manners, I'm happy to meet their individual needs. With my background in dog training and handling, safety is always my highest priority, creating a structured environment where every dog can feel confident and secure. I know how important it is to stay connected while you're away, so you'll receive frequent updates, photos, and videos throughout your dog's stay. Whether your dog is staying for daycare, overnight boarding, or training, you can feel confident knowing they'll receive plenty of attention, exercise, enrichment, and affection in a caring home environment. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend!

Dominique is such a sweetheart and dog-lover! I have known her very over 10 years and I can say for sure she is one of the most skilled dog trainers I know! She was the only person I trusted my dog, Mini, with when we went on vacation because Mini can be very reactive and territorial towards other dogs. Of course, Dominique handled her perfectly well and was able to keep Mini entertained and happy the whole time we were away! I would definitely recommend hiring Dominique for your puppies!

Dominique with my dog, has been an absolute game changer! Knowing he is safe, happy, and treated like family gives me complete peace of mind! Dominique is incredibly communicative, sends regular photo updates. She has taught him many new commands, which just makes him a better dog! I highly recommend Dominque for your dogs care and training…..

Dominique has been an incredible trainer and caregiver for both of my Portuguese Water Dogs. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand each of their unique personalities and needs, and it truly shows in the way she works with them. My dogs absolutely adore her and are always excited to see her. She has also been instrumental in helping me work through some leash reactivity with one of my dogs. Her guidance has been patient, knowledgeable, and effective, giving me the confidence and tools to continue making progress. What sets Dominique apart is her ability to recognize that every dog is different. She tailors her approach to each individual dog’s temperament, behavior, and training needs, always with kindness and compassion. It’s clear that she genuinely loves what she does and has an exceptional understanding of canine behavior. I trust Dominique completely with my dogs and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who is skilled, reliable, and truly dedicated to helping dogs and their owners succeed.
