House Sitting in Downtown, Honolulu, HI

“Janey is wonderful with my furbaby. She’s patient, attentive, and tailors her care to his specific needs, medical necessities (allergies & meds), safety concerns and unique Bichon qualities. She communicated daily updates concisely and consistently, along with great photos, which put me at ease. As a bonus, Janey organized my baby’s toys and belongings and leaves my place in order, much neater than how she found it. Overall, It’s a pleasure to work with her.”

“Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of our pup and house while we were gone. Our pup needed some extra care after having surgery and she did an excellent job administering her meds and giving her the care she needed. Thanks Ashley!”

“If you're looking for the perfect pet sitter, Katy is it!! We were very anxious to leave our dog while overseas for almost two weeks, but Katy MADE our trip. We knew Biscuit would be loved, safe, and comfortable with Katy at our house, and he was. Katy is communicative and detail oriented. She also sent so many photos while we were away. A bonus: our house was spotless when we returned home with fresh linens. 110% recommendation for Katy. Will recommend her to my dearest friends!”

“Cora was able to come through and watch Lulu for us on short notice. She came for a meet and greet and Lulu took a liking to Cora. We would definitely hire her again! Cora is very sweet and caring! We highly recommend her! Thank you Cora for taking great care of Lulu!”

About: I've been around dogs since I was a little kid. My family always had a dog, and many of my fondest childhood memories involve spending time with and taking care of them. When I started college was the first time I had full responsibility of taking care of my dad’s two dogs while he was away on a trip. Caring for two dogs with their distinct needs while juggling the demands of college coursework was a challenge especially as this was for an extended period of time. However, as I began to understand their unique needs and develop a routine that provided the necessary care and support they needed, the process became more manageable. Recognizing the importance of being attentive to their needs and ensuring their well-being was crucial. This experience not taught me how to be on top of their needs and give them the proper care and attention, but spending one-on-one time with them also helped me bond with them even more. At this moment I realized my love for dog sitting. I work a part time job during the day. Though am available for overnight dog sitting. Able to give morning walks, before I leave for my job at 11am. Finish work at 4:30pm and am able to give afternoon and night time walks/feeding. Please let me know if you have more questions. I prefer to care for pets in the clients home. I feel that this make your pet more comfortable, as they will be in both a familiar and safe environment.

“Allison was wonderful! She sent me photo updates of my pup while I was away, and left me a good detailed description of what they did: last time she ate, went to the bathroom, etc. I had Allison do the house sitting option and she left my house clean and tidy, you wouldn't hardly know she was there except for the extremely happy pup I came home to!!! Thanks Allison!”

About: Dogs of all sizes and breeds were a part of my family growing up. I've pet-sit for friends on trips, including caring for a senior dog, and multiple pets (2 pups and 3 cats) at once in the same home. I've fostered a few times, including a puppy being treated for heartworm but, my current place doesn't allow me the opportunity to care for animals. I'm able to provide care for your pets in your home and neighborhood. If they're on a special diet or require a specific feeding method, please let me know. I also have experience in giving baths, applying treatments, and administering medication. When taking pups on walks, I like to be mindful of the time and temperature so the pups aren't walking on burning asphalt. I also like to be mindful of cleaning up after your pups, so we're not leaving a mess for the community if we can help it. I can check-in on, play, feed, walk, and give attention to your pups. I'm available during the week and on the weekends, including nights. If you require walks &/or feeding outside of my available neighborhoods, there might be some additional fees depending on distance and time of day (if applicable). I'm able to pet sit in your home so that your pups are more comfy and relaxed. I like to provide a calm atmosphere for them, giving them lots of attention based on their needs, and try my best to stick to their routines. I'm available to stay the night or do drop-ins. I'm not a partier, and believe in taking care when handling other's things so rest assured that your home is in good hands.

“Emily was likely the best dog walker and house sitter I have ever used. I cannot believe the level of care she provided for my dog. She was left my house in perfect condition and kept great updates for my pup! SHE ALSO PRINTED OUT A PHOTO OF MY DOG!! Sooo sweet, love her, will use her again!”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since last year. My neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets whenever they go on vacation. I'm currently applying to work at various hotels. I'm avaliable after 2 pm on weekdays, and I'm also avaliable on the weekends, but it varies depending on what I have going for me that week. In my home I feed, and walk our dog. I play with him. and make sure he gets the proper attention he needs. I also make sure he is secure at night. When walking him, if he wants to meet other dog friends on the way, we do that, but I make sure both dogs are calm and happy before engaging.

“Winton took care of our 2 toy poodles at our place while we were out of town. He took great care not only of our dogs but our home. Thank you for everything!!”

“Sasha is always so great with our pets, making sure they get lots of love and keeping them healthy and safe! She was great at communicating including any questions that came up along the way.”

About: New to Rover? Please ask for my promo code for $20 off when checking out. :) Aloha! I am a working professional living in Honolulu (Kakaako) and I work from home so your beloved pet has more attention and care than usual. I am a dog lover and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I will definitely be a dog parent one day but my doggy clients are amazing and keep me quite busy so I’m happy with this at the moment! Your dog is the only dog in my home when I am dog sitting. I like to provide 1:1 attention and provide a little more premium experience for your dog. This is why my rates are a bit higher. My clients like to say their dog is going on vacation too when they are with me! :) Your dog has my utmost attention, and I ensure they are well-loved and cared for as if they were my own dog. I am responsible, communicative, and respectful. I am happy to follow all the rules you have set at your home (ex: dietary restrictions, being allowed on bed or not). You can look forward to receiving pictures of your pet while you’re away and be reassured they are comfortable and well-cared for. I will always notify you immediately if there is an emergency regarding your pets. I will consider littermates or two dogs from the same household or if they are friends as long as they are both house-trained and do not exhibit aggression towards other dogs or people, since it’s more difficult to control two dogs while on a walk. Owners: Please be upfront about your dog and any issues, such as separation anxiety, no leash training, or aggression towards other dogs, or people. It's helpful to have this information and expectations when dog-sitting. :) Note: I live in an apartment building and, unfortunately, cannot care for a dog that is extremely aggressive towards other dogs or people. Mahalo for understanding. Drop-off: I can be flexible, but I may need to schedule some meetings outside of work hours. Pick up: I prefer around the same time they were picked up, but am flexible, given it's an hour or two. If it's 3 hours or more, a surcharge may apply; Rover will calculate the rate automatically. I work from home, so I am home most of the time with your dog. Dogs may be left alone during work hours for a few hours at most. On weekends, I either take your dog with us on outdoor excursions (if permitted). If your dog has separation anxiety, I try to take them with us, or I stay home and make a weekend to stay in. I live in a low-rise condo/apartment building and they have access to my whole apartment. I will always notify you immediately if there is an emergency regarding your pets. If no emergency vet is listed, I will go to the nearest available one. I typically walk dogs 3-4x a day minimum: first thing in the morning, a mid-day walk, after work, and before bedtime. If permitted, I will take them to the beach or hiking, or the nearby dog park. I always follow the owner's feeding schedule and other rules so as not to break any habits at home (ex: being allowed on furniture or not). I specialize in older/senior dogs so I know how to administer medications (oral medications, eye drops, and injections like insulin shots). I have also taken care of rescue dogs with trauma and understand dogs with anxiety or fear of things like loud noises, fireworks, etc. I can easily crate your dog if needed. If they tend to chew on things or go through the trash, let me know, and I can prevent that from happening. :)

“Kathaleen was absolutely amazing. She watched my dog Ghost for my 6 day vacation. She sent many pictures and gave great updates each day. I have an 87 pound German Shepherd, and she was great at handling and taking care of him. 10/10 will be using her for overnight stays, down to just simple drop ins when I’m working.”
