MY GOAL:

LOVING CARE & SPecialized Training, DESIGNED TO FIT YOUR PET's special NEEDS

My work is centered around delivering personalized, effective caretaking and training services, which are catered towards addressing the specific needs of you and your canine or feline companion(s).

I bring years of experience to the table - both in my time working in private pet care, as well as at the humane society - which has allowed me to work with and rehabilitate animals with a wide range of medical and behavioral issues.

My business is both an art and a practice to me. With each and every service, I strive to:

  • Create a positive and enriching experience for both my clients and their pets

  • Maintain a flexible & adaptive service that efficiently caters to the needs of my clients

  • Provide top-notch behavioral and medical management & rehabilitation, while offering custom behavioral solutions designed specifically for your pets

  • Cultivate the human-animal bond - by strengthening communication between you and your pets, and reinforcing positive behaviors.

GETTING STARTED

I begin all of my pet relationships with a 'Meet & Greet' between you, your pet(s) and myself, in order to give you a chance to interview me and decide whether we're a good match for each other! If you and your pets approve, we can move forward with designing a custom-tailored care and/or training plan.

Testimonials

Domenic is an absolute professional in every sense of the word. Not only did he quickly and elegantly foster a strong bond with my very difficult rescue dog, he went above and beyond providing last minute dog boarding in our home when an unexpected medical situation popped up. He’s the real deal!
— John O. (Rover Review)
It was clear Domenic knows exactly what he’s doing when he first met my dog, using all the proper body language and communication. My dog instantly felt comfortable with him and responded better to Domenic in our home better than any other guest we’ve ever had. Domenic gave perfectly detailed notes after each walk and coordinated with me quickly and efficiently. He was even able to greet my cat, who usually hides from guests. I am extremely happy with Domenic’s professional approach and look forward to using his services in the future. I highly recommend Domenic for anyone wanting some next-level care for their pets!
— Paige P. (Rover Review)
‘Concierge’ is pretty descriptive of Domenic’s approach. He is super responsive and thoughtful about each conversation and interaction. He asked insightful questions about the dogs’ personalities, care and my preferences in order to accommodate. Our dogs responded well to him and were clearly calm and engaged around him. His visit notes have my full confidence and comfort. More than a concierge, Domenic himself is calm, organized, and in charge. That spirit gave me complete trust for my dogs in his care.
— Jason L. (Rover review)
Domenic has been taking care of my two dogs for 6+ years. Walks while I’m at work and overnight stays in our home when we travel. My neighbors have made a point to mention to me how great he is with them when they see him walking and playing with my GSD and golden retriever.

He’s been so great at adapting their care as they’ve aged. Domenic is so reliable and knowledgeable about special needs dogs, whether it’s behavioral or medical. He goes above and beyond in every way (extra potty breaks during sittings, brushing my golden, incorporating physical therapy exercises). The peace of mind knowing that my pups are in great care is priceless.

Domenic is THE BEST. I am so lucky to have found him. I have a “difficult” chihuahua and an older cat with health issues, and I tried a lot of other individual pet sitters and services before finding Domenic.

For the past few years now he has provided first-rate overnight care whenever I go out of town, as well as periodic daily check-ins and dog walks, when needed. My furry kids adore him, and he feels like one of the family!

Domenic is that rare find... an excellent trained dependable pet care professional who also really connects with and cares for the animals he looks after.

Hidden Gems: Meet Domenic Paneno of Maestro Pet Care

Having been the primary facilitator of nearly 2,000 adoptions - as an adoption counselor - and having assisted in thousands of others, I have a passion for working with people and their pets. 

I began professionally working in personal pet care in 2015, with the goal of providing a service that goes above and beyond standard walks and pet sitting. I bring multiple years of hands-on experience to the table, with a considerable amount of time spent working alongside animal behaviorists and medical staff.

There is no pet too big, too small, too anxious, too hyperactive, or too shy, for me to get to know and love.
