“I dropped my pup off with Nichole on my way to work. She made it very easy to leave him and was flexible enough for me to pick him up after I got off at 10pm. She tried to send picks throughout the day but wasn’t as familiar with the day care settings so I didn’t get them until later. I don’t blame her for that though because Rover is not a very good app tbh haha. But I think she learned how to do it so I’m sure if she did it now she wouldn’t have a problem. Some of the pictures she took were really good, too. My feeding instructions don’t seem too difficult to me but lots of people who watch my pup don’t seem to get it right. But Nichole did it perfectly”


“Debbi no ka oi. (Debbi is the best) we relied upon Debbi’s care for our IG during a busy week plus in Honolulu. She was flexible and able to suit our needs perfectly. Our dog was happy, healthy and I was always assured of Debbi’s excellent care of our pet. I highly recommend her.”


“Levi loves hanging out with Arianah! She takes wonderful care of him with lots of cuddles and walks.”


“Thank you for taking care of my baby even though it was a short time request! Daisy and her boyfriend were very responsible and had smooth communications. I highly recommend them and definitely I will book them again.”


About: My life is best when it's full of furry friends! I've grown up with a dog, and even when I came to college I quickly found families with dogs to hang out with being away from home! I've been trusted to dog sit,walk and take care of a variety of dogs of different sizes/needs throughout college, and I would love to do it more. I also have experience giving dogs medication/helping them swallow pills. Possibly like your dog, I love long walks, being outside and end-of-day cuddles! I am a current Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Hawaii Pacific University. I moved in August from Raleigh, North Carolina. I only go for in person lab about every 2 months which I am marking off my calendar, and on zoom working hard the rest of the time! That being said, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to stay with/check in on your pet frequently. Long walks with the company of a furry friend would really be an awesome way to take a break! I have always been an early riser and am prepared to get up early to attend to responsibilities with a dog! I usually get up at 6 or before no matter what the day entails, so I will not keep your dog waiting for breakfast, a walk and a potty break! Also I would like to include that my photo send percentage is low on Rover, because people usually prefer me texting them updates instead of sending them through the app- I can do whichever! I am very active and frequently go on long walks and can go out on adventures if your furry friend would like to join me! I would love to follow your routine schedule with the dog as well, and my schedule gives me the flexibility to do so!

“Family is awesome, they were able to take in our dog on short notice. Our girl Tilly came home tired, she was able to get all her energy out. We appreciate you guys!”


“Scott was so great with Kona and flexible with my schedule changes. He was patient, understanding, attentive, and informative of Kona’s time. He shared lots of pics, which made me feel at ease leaving Kona in his care. And he worked on some basic training with her. Scott and his family took such excellent care of her, couldn’t have asked for better.”


“Ashley was great!! We had a very last minute request and she was super responsive. Seems like our dog had a great time with her! Will definitely be back :)”

About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family and friends of friends. Just like when I teach in schools, I provide a safe and welcoming space. I have experience walking, hiking, feeding, giving baths, giving medicine, and teaching new tricks to dogs. I have cared for cats as well. In my adult years I've had three dogs of my own and two cats. I have used Rover before for my dog, and now would love to provide great service for other peoples' dogs and cats, like how Rover sitters did for my dog. I value communication and look forward to sending my clients photos frequently of all the fun their pet is having when being taken care of by me. I have a baby, so I am home a lot. My schedule is very flexible. I can provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your pet. If your pet stays with me, your pet will receive frequent walks as exercise is important to me for the pet's health and my own. Lots of love, treats, and cuddles to give here!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since being in diapers, I’ve been around and have taken care of dogs of all sizes and breeds and absolutely love them! Family and friends have relied on me many times to care for their fur babies, feeding, walking, simple grooming (giving baths, trimming nails) and giving them the attention they would give their own pets! A home away from home is what I’d like to think of myself as! To note, Im always the one taking the pictures, rarely the one in them so sorry in advance for none of myself posted! I’m a stay at home mom with two toddlers so I’m home 98% of the time, meaning your fur baby won’t be left alone often if at all during their stay! I’m available most weekdays and weekends all throughout the year! I require having your dog bathed before coming or having me do it for an additional cost(makes sure your pup is as comfortable as can be being nice,fresh and clean along with making sure there’s no fleas being brought in) .I have a fenced in yard, a leash will be required for walks around the neighborhood or park(with owners permission)! They will be supervised while outside and have fresh water available at all times! If we do leave the house(never for a long period of time) a crate will be necessary for their safety. Also as stated previously I do have 2 toddlers, but they won’t be left unattended and I will make sure they respect your fur babies boundaries!

“We use Deanne regularly for daycare services when needed and she’s always great, very consistent, always very communicative, and sends me updates and pictures throughout the day.”


“Excellent care - so communicative, sent photos while I needed to be out, and my dog was returned to me so calm and happy. She was clearly well loved and cared for by Lovina and her partner. As a dog parent, I could not ask for any better! Highly recommend!”


“Frequent updates with pictures and my dog seemed really comfortable right away”


“I can not say enough great things about Luis and Christine!! They truly love animals and could not have provided a more welcoming and loving environment for my dog. Christine baked homemade,nutritional treats specific for my dog :) Luis and Christine not only took my pup on several walks throughout the day, but took her on adventures throughout the island! They really are not your average sitter, but so much more! I hope to book again as they really are amazing people.”


About: Dogs have been my quiet passion since childhood. I used to collect dog-themed postcards, books, and just about anything related to them. Calming dogs was even considered my “special skill” as a kid—and to this day, I still find joy in helping shy or anxious pups feel safe and loved. As a freelance designer who once dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, I bring that same care, sensitivity, and attention to detail into the way I care for animals. I naturally read each pet’s body language and adapt to their emotional needs—whether they need a slow, gentle approach or playful companionship. Even now, my husband and I sometimes visit service dogs at our local library to read books to them—just to spend time with dogs while we miss our own pup who lives with our parents on the mainland. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I work from home on weekdays with a flexible schedule—typically between 8 AM and 4 PM—but I’m happy to adjust as needed to fit your pet’s care routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or simply keeping your pet company. Evenings are also open, and my husband (who’s just as passionate about dogs!) often joins me in caring for them. Saturdays are also available, while Friday nights and Sundays may be limited due to church commitments. Above all, I’m committed to being present, responsive, and reliable—ensuring your pet always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. To start, I’m focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits outside the home. I live in a cozy two-bedroom condo with an ocean view, which is currently best suited for small to medium-sized dogs. As I gain more experience and build trust with each pet I care for, I plan to gradually offer in-home daycare as well. Our space is clean, quiet, and filled with warmth—perfect for dogs who enjoy a calm, cozy environment with lots of love. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them at home, safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.

“Winton was flexible when we were in urgent need for a sitter last minute. We felt that he kept our pup safe and satisfied while we were away. He was communicative and friendly!”


“Fiji had a great time staying with Amy! Clearly Amy did a great job because Fiji warmed up to her quickly. She sent me lots of photos throughout the day. Thank you!”


“This was our first time using Rover for dog daycare. As soon as we met them we felt relieved because they are very nice and trustworthy. Even though it was short stay this time, they sent a lot of pictures. Which really helped put us at ease. Before we tried daycare, we were a little worried because our dog is shy to other dog but their Golden retriever, Simba is very nice and friendly, too. We are sure this was good experience for our dog. We will use their daycare service again!”


About: I grew up with dogs (chow-chows), but have really only sat for others for about 6 years. I have recently relocated from California and am excited to start watching pets on Oahu. I am presently in massage school 9-1 daily so this gives me plenty of time to give your pet the quality care they need for lots of love and attention. I can board up to 2 small animals/dogs in my home (Honolulu) or come to you for overnight house sitting, drop in visits, and/or walks.
