Safety, trust & environment

It's important to me to be patient and understanding with any animal. I have no issue interacting with animals who may be reactive, anxious, aggressive, or all of the above.

Information Dominique Y. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, preferences, or behaviors beforehand! I am well-suited to any extra requirements for you both to feel comfortable.

A typical day

Exploring trails, parks, and stopping for a pup cup is standard for my own dog, Maple. And a tired dog is certainly a happy dog. When I am pet sitting, I listen to what they want to do. Whether that's exploring new smells outside, playing with toys, or just getting lots of pets and attention. It is important to me that they get to go at their own pace. Even if that means going for a run!

Pet care experience

I moved to the Kalamazoo area from Tampa, FL, where I worked as a full-time veterinary assistant for several years. Additionally, I have accumulated hundreds of hours volunteering at animal shelters. Between these, I have developed skills that allow me to be comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, and allow me to help those with specific needs, such as medication/fluid administration, first-aid, aggression/anxiousness, puppy/kitten/senior care, etc. I also offer pet-sitting for other types of animals, including hamsters, guinea pigs, bunnies, ducks, lizards, turtles and more. Feel free to reach out with any questions! :)

Cared for our dog on short notice. Was attentive and he seemed to enjoy to visits on long stretches at home. Highly reccommend!

Dominique was awesome. I was nervous about leaving my small kitten for the first time. The pictures shared each day made us feel like we never left. She took time to play and care for both cats, even though one is a little grumpy. I would recommend Dominique to anyone looking for the best possible pet sitter!

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.
