Veterinary Assistant -- Available!

Pet care experience

My family and I have just 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 two, 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/senior care, etc. Feel free to reach out with any questions! :)

We always feel at ease when Dominque watches Sammy and Roo! She does a great job and the dogs love her! I’d highly recommend her.

Dominique was great! My dogs took to her immediately. She took great pictures and the dogs were super happy when we arrived home. Looking forward to booking with her again!

Ruby loved having Dominique watch her while we were out of town. When my daughter gets home from school, she could tell that she received all the love and attention she needed to be a good puppy the rest of the night.

Our puppy Ruby was watching her leave and didn’t want her to go! Great visit and more to come!

Safety, trust & environment

Long walks, extra love, and positive "good boys/girls" all around. It's important to me to be patient and understanding with any animal, and really listen to what it is that they need. 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

Please 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

All animals need mental and physical stimulation for their overall health and well-being. It's just as important to me as it is to them to let them explore new smells, play games, and go at their own pace. Exploring trails, parks, and stopping for a pup cup is standard for my own dog, Maple. The most important part is that they can get the utmost enjoyment out of it. A tired dog is a happy dog!
