About: I have been a dog owner for many years, with a major preference for small dogs. Not only do I have lots of experience caring for my own pets, but I have sat and cared for the dogs of many different friends and family, as well as those I don’t personally know well, over the years. I am patient, loving, always try to have fun with the dogs, and always try to give them the best care possible. I’ve had dogs all my life. I got my first dog, Lukey, when I was young and he was my best friend. Originally got him for my mother to keep her company, but fell in love with him myself and made him my own once she passed. I’d take him through the woods on walks and we eventually became inseparable. He passed at age 18. Eventually I met a woman who had two dogs of her own and they became like my kids. I had them for many years, although sadly they are all passed now as well. Currently I help care for two dogs with my ex who lives in the apartment below me, as we are still good friends. I make sure they are well cared for and take them out regularly. I love to play with them. I take dogs very seriously as they are like family to me. I can currently work Monday-Saturday, with exceptions. I do have to schedule around some minor things early in the morning, and those take priority, and those can be discussed, but otherwise I’m completely free. I love animals and always try to give them 100% of the love and attention they deserve. I feed them, walk them, take them out and play with them, and always try to give them my best. I’ve always treated my own dogs as if they were my children, and I extend that to any dog I care for.

About: I have always loved and had dogs. For the past six years, I took care of my own dog (a cocker spaniel). Then, after she passed I started dog sitting. I recently adopted an 8 year old cocker spaniel. I work from home most a few days of the week. So boarding, doggie daycare, or drop ins close to my house are the ideal. Also can house sit. I love being active with a dog (walks, play) to build a healthy relationship. I also try to provide them space to explore and relax.

About: I grew up with golden retrievers and labs, so I understand the needs of high-energy breeds. While I don't have specialized training, I offer personalized attention and a genuine love for dogs that comes from a lifetime of experience. Your pup will enjoy a home environment where they're treated like family, with plenty of attention, regular updates, and a flexible schedule tailored to their routine. My years of experience dog sitting for friends has taught me how to quickly adapt to each dog's unique personality and needs. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide constant companionship for your dog throughout the day. Between meetings, I take regular breaks for walks and playtime to keep your pup active and engaged. My husband also works remotely and shares my love for dogs, meaning your pet will have double the attention and care. This flexible setup allows us to adapt boarding around our schedule while ensuring your dog never feels alone or neglected. With two dog lovers in the home, your furry family member will receive plenty of affection, supervision, and outdoor time regardless of who's in a meeting! In my home, I create a comfortable and welcoming environment for your dog despite not having a yard. During nice weather, supervised time on our balcony and private roof deck provides fresh air and sunshine between outings. Living on the 3rd floor of our condo building, I ensure plenty of scheduled outdoor time with regular walks to nearby parks where your pup can socialize with other neighborhood dogs. Before any stay, I'll learn about your dog's routine, dietary requirements, and comfort items to ensure they feel at home while in my care.

“Oscar was wonderful. We had never boarded any of our dogs before. Oscar made the process seamless. He sent pictures and videos (put to music) that made us smile and know that Dexter was in good hands. We look forward to having Dexter visit Oscar and his family in the future.”


“We are so lucky to have found Will for doggy daycare. He is so knowledgeable about dogs and really goes above and beyond to make our anxiety-prone pup feel comfortable. He is also super communicative, sending pics and updates so we as the parents feel at ease too. We will definitely be booking again!”


About: I would be great person to take care/watch your dog because I don’t treat pets like any regular animal they are like kids they need to be loved and taken care of just like any other human being. My whole life growing up I have been around nothing but dogs mainly and I always grow a different bond with every single one of them as if they were my own,I’m different from other sitters because to me it’s not just about money but I would love to have all the new experiences I can get with many different dogs all shapes and sizes, I can learn a lot of new things and even help train your dog with things they haven’t even learned yet. I’m currently a stay at home mom finishing up with school so I will have plenty of free time to still love and care for your pet. I have a small yard but also closed in parks that your dog can run around and still be free in. Also while inside I treat all dogs like my own so they would have the same routines just like they were right at home no one likes new changes so fast.

About: I love them like they my own kids when I was in high school I would volunteer at the shelter and help take care of them . I have a lot of free time. I can mostly do weekend days and certain weekends depending on the time I can also travel there I have a fenced park across the st and I have a big cage in my house dog friendly pet and cat allowed to also
