Compassionate Care for Your Pets
🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE: Moving Off-Island & Schedule Changes Hi everyone! I wanted to share a quick update with all of my wonderful clients as I prepare to move off-island. Service Update: I am only accepting daycare bookings right now. I am no longer taking on new boarding or grooming requests as I wind things down. Availability: If you need daytime care before my final departure, please reach out to check my remaining open dates! Thank you all so much for trusting me with your furry family members. It has been an absolute joy caring for them, and I am going to miss you all dearly! 🐾❤️ About Me & My Experience Working with animals isn't just what I do—it's my calling. I am deeply dedicated to ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of every pet, whether you're away on vacation, deployment, crazy work shifts, TDYs, or deep in the middle of house cleaning and remodeling. My hands-on experience and professional background give me a unique edge as a pet care provider: Veterinary Technology & Medical Care: With ongoing studies through veterinary technician school, I am fully equipped to handle specialized needs—including administering medications and fluids as prescribed by your veterinarian. Grooming & Styling: Having professional grooming experience means I know how to keep your pets looking, smelling, and feeling their best. Behavior & Training: I incorporate basic obedience and positive reinforcement to help pets feel secure, build confidence, and maintain good manners while they are with us. Compassion for All Types: My love and dedication extend to animals of all shapes, sizes, and needs. Your pets will always be treated with the highest level of patience, respect, and love. Your furry family members receive professional expertise tailored precisely to their needs so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. Best, Sherrie / The Dapper Doggi

We are so thankful for Sherrie! We left our dog Koa with her for 3 weeks for vacation to the mainland. We actually had to extend a day because of a cancelled flight and Sherrie had no problems keeping him an extra day. She gave us updates and was able to handle our crazy boy. Very thankful we now have someone who can watch him on island if needed again!
Sherrie was an amazing sitter for my three Labradors! I was a little apprehensive at first since I had never used Rover before, but after my experience with Sherrie, I wouldn’t trust anyone else to care for my dogs. She sent us regular updates throughout their 10 day stay and even included pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from the beginning that she genuinely loves and understands dogs. She would tell me about how my dogs played with each other and with the other dogs, and she described their personalities and behaviors exactly as they are at home with me. You can only know those little details when you truly spend time with and pay attention to the dogs in your care. I could tell that my three Labradors were not just being watched, they were genuinely cared for and loved. I highly recommend Sherrie to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their dogs. We will definitely be booking with her again!
Sherrie took good care of our fur baby! She was very responsive, and prompt with her communication. Sherrie sent us daily photos and updates, which we appreciated. Recommend!
This was our first time boarding our dog while we were on a trip. It met all of our expectations. We met Sherrie and saw her indoor and outdoor setup prior to signing our contract. Although we missed our dog while traveling, we never worried about her. He felt very confident about Cheri‘s abilities. Mahalo.
Sherrie is a wonderful sitter and took amazing care of our Yuki girl. This was Yuki's first time at an in-home sitter and I was nervous how it would go. Sherrie provided lots of photos and updates and Yuki looked like she was have a great time, meeting new doggie friends and getting cuddles. Thank you so much for taking great care of our baby.
Sherrie is an amazing sitter. This was our 9-month-old pup Lio’s first experience at a sitter while we were away for the weekend. Sherrie sent photos and cute comments daily, reassuring us that he was having a great time. She was sitting several other dogs which was great for Lio’s socialization skills. Her house is so beautiful and clean, her doggie areas were organized and inviting, we could tell she was very experienced. Best of all, our high-energy pup was not a concern for her at all, and when we picked him up, all his new friends were lined up at the doggie gate waving goodbye with their tails. So cute! We will definitely have Lio stay with Sherrie and her family again!

Schedule
Pet care isn’t just a job for me—it’s my lifestyle and my career path. While I am currently a Vet Tech student, I’m not your typical college-aged sitter. I bring a high level of maturity and a lifetime of hands-on experience, from growing up on a farm to spending 3 years working in a clinical veterinary setting. Because I study from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible. This allows me to provide consistent potty breaks, structured play, and the specialized attention pets need—especially those who might require a bit more 'pro' care like senior animals or those needing medication. My days are centered around the well-being of the animals in my care, ensuring they stay on their familiar feeding and exercise tracks while you’re away!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, your pets will enjoy a safe and loving environment. With a fenced backyard for playtime and my friendly Goldendoodle to keep them company, they'll feel right at home. My Goldendoodle also gets along well with cats, ensuring a harmonious atmosphere. If needed, I can easily crate your dog for their comfort and safety, while also giving breaks and free time throughout the day.
Pets
A typical day
I prioritize your dog's mental wellness and health by engaging them in a variety of fun activities throughout the day. We'll enjoy invigorating walks to explore the outdoors, play interactive games that challenge their minds, and, of course, share plenty of love and affection. Each day is filled with opportunities for fun and stimulation, ensuring your dog feels happy and fulfilled.
