About: I’ve had three dogs of my own over the years, so I know firsthand that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. I truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, cuddly and calm, or a little shy at first. When your dog is in my care, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to their routines, love giving plenty of playtime and affection, and will treat your pup with the same care I would give my own. You can feel confident knowing your dog is getting both loving attention and dependable care while you’re away. Would love if dog(s) are getting treated regularly for fleas/ticks especially if coming into my home. I currently stay at home all day during the week so I would be able to give full attention to your pets needs. If they’re staying over the weekend I would accommodate my plans to be home while they’re in my care. Your pet(s) would have free range in my first floor apartment townhouse. There is a communal dog park that is walking distance I would take them to only if no one else was there. We have a private community that I would take them on walks throughout the day.
“Kato is a big dog, and was well tended and rarely left alone. The fenced-in yard allowed him plenty of safe exercise. We got regular photos and updates to keep us from any worries about him. Sitter was very flexible with last minute changes to drop off and pick up times.”
About: I work from home and am home throughout the day, allowing me to provide consistent attention, regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and companionship. I’m flexible and able to accommodate each pet’s unique schedule and routine, whether they need a quick drop-in, a walk, overnight care, boarding, or someone to stay with them throughout the day. I’m comfortable caring for pets at different life stages, including young pets who need patience, structure, and help with training, as well as senior pets who may need extra comfort, slower walks, medication reminders, or assistance maintaining their routine. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, and my goal is to provide dependable, loving care that makes them feel right at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and am home throughout the day.

“Debra took great care of my Boston terrier Oliver. He had to be on antibiotics and a painkiller at the time and she administered the pills to him daily. I am truly grateful he loved playing with her two little dogs too.”
“Our Lana had a blast making new friends in Bruno and Mary. Mary was attentive with constant updates, pictures and communications, leaving us to relax into our time away. We will be calling Mary and Bruno again soon!”
“Oakley is a new rescue and I wasn’t familiar yet with his needs and limitations. Rachael was very knowledgeable and professional and knew exactly how to handle him by slowly introducing him to other dogs. She has a large backyard with different sections to accommodate Oakley when he’s not feeling too social. I highly recommend Rachael!”
“Victoria did an excellent job with care she provided to Cooper and Reese. She sent us photos throughout the week and comments on how they were doing. We already plan to use her for our next trip!”
“Melissa was an amazing dog sitter! She was very flexible with our schedule and responded right away when I reached out looking for someone to watch Bruno. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept me updated with photos while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Bruno also had a great time playing with her dog—they got along wonderfully! It was obvious he was well cared for and comfortable during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Melissa again, and she’ll definitely be one of my first choices the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Alyssa was wonderful! She kept me posted on how my Daphne was doing, and sent plenty of pics. My pup was in great spirits when I picked her up and she seemed to fit right into Alyssa’s pack of dogs, who are all sweet and well behaved. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Wendy was fantastic! Our sweet Mae stayed with her for 10 days and she took wonderful care of our spunky girl! It was clear from the updates and photos that she adjusted to Wendy’s home the perfect balance of active play time and snuggles. Wendy was very quick and clear in her communications. I’d recommend Wendy’s oasis to any pet parent! :)”
“Kelly was so great with squishy! She took such good care of her and sent us pictures every day. She made sure to follow everything! My puppy even cried when we were leaving Kelly’s house after picking her up!”
“Christine is a wonderful dog sitter. She sent a lot of pictures and kept us updated. Our dogs had a lot of fun at her house! Would be happy to leave our pups with her again.”
“Marcie & family excepted my request on short notice. She sent pics. She went above and beyond for me and my pup. Her family treated him like one of their own. And for that, I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much!!!”
“Suzanne took great care of my dog! She sent me lots of pictures and she is a good communicator! She walked my dog and Lola always looked happy in the pictures! I would definitely use her again! I highly recommend her!”
“Caroline and Samuel were fantastic with my dog Netty. They were flexible with pick up times and they genuinely care about your dogs well being and happiness. The updates they sent made me smile and reassured Netty was in good hands. Their dog Winnie is adorable and eager to play with your dog any chance she gets! 100% recommend booking with them! Will book again soon. Thank you for a great experience”
About: Hi I’m Sofia, I’ve grown up being the main caretaker of 3 dogs, I have volunteered at dog shelters and I love dogs from all sizes and personalities! For my scheduling, I am a student so my time can be made flexible making my availability pretty open. I am always free on the weekends. I am in a student in a dorm therefore I can board small dogs if needed, I don’t have a roommate that can intervene with the dog(s).
“We are so thankful that Sherrie is available to let Piper come into her home when we need to go away. Piper is always relaxed and happy when we pick her up so we know that she has been cared for and loved while we are gone.”
“Courtney was great, we did a meet and great before we booked. We had great communication and she sent pics of my dog during the stay. Her home is well suited for pet sitting, has a nice fenced in yard in quiet neighborhood, end of a street without much traffic. They don't have any other pets, so that makes it nice too, don't have to worry marking as much. Highly recommend!”

Danielle was awesome ! Gorgeous home and yard. Jack is usually very shy, hard to get a harness on him and I was afraid she wouldn't be able to get him back in the house . Apparently there was no problem, as he did it right away for her ! I highly recommend her and would use her again.
Our Peachy stayed with Emily while we were on 10 day vacation. She did great with Peachy and she made sure Peachy takes her medication (even if peachy gave her a hard time) 😊 She sent photos and we appreciste it very much. Her home is nice and clean. We will definitely rebook her again.
Naomi took great care of our dog, Max, while we were out of town for a long weekend. She shared pictures and provided daily updates on how Max was adjusting. I felt very comfortable leaving Max with Naomi. He was well care for, and I will definitely try to rebook with her when we go out of town in the future!
Ryan and Rio were the perfect hosts for Ziggy. Ryan is very knowledgeable about dogs and expertly handled my large puppy and his antics. Communication is excellent and Ryan is very accommodating. Ziggy was well cared for and tired when we picked him up. I will use Ryan again.
Emily was very kind and understanding that my dog has never been to a dog sitter or anything like that. Stormi is very anxious and protective, SO she is very picky with whom she bonds with!! Emily took All that in consideration And Stormi loved her & Emily’s husband 💙 I will definitely be referring Emily to anyone that needs a sitter! She even sends progress reports, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Mark and Elizabeth were great with Maeve. Maeve had a great time. Mark and Elizabeth updated us throughout our trip with multiple photographs, they are professional, friendly and very responsive. Great with puppies with high energy. Will be utilizing there services again for sure. Highly recommend Mark and Elizabeth
