“Michelle super helped us out last minute when our flight got delayed! She answered right away and gave us such peace of mind by taking care of the pups. We love having her as a part of our pack!”

“Veronica was an absolute dream to work with! Our older pups started experiencing some random symptoms about a week before our trip to Japan and we contemplated cancelling the whole trip but Veronica gave us so much comfort and reassurance which also gave us peace of mind. We were in communication every day and she also sent pics/videos which was so calming for us. Normally we don't worry as much but our dogs are 16 and 13 years old but Veronica was very understanding and we cannot wait to work with her again. Thank you!”

“Colleen was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and consistently attentive, patient, and loving toward our pups. She truly went above and beyond by taking them on hikes, giving them plenty of walks, and making sure all of their individual needs were met so they stayed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her attention to detail really stood out, especially since she gave one of our dogs medication and made sure it was administered correctly. What also meant so much to us was her communication. Colleen provided daily check-ins and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about our dogs, and we felt completely confident knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”


About: Aloha! I’m Morgana, a longtime Oʻahu local, lifelong animal lover, and someone who’s generally happiest around animals, the ocean, or both! I have a degree in Marine Science from UH Mānoa and have spent years working and volunteering with animal care and conservation organizations here in Hawaiʻi and abroad. Animals have always been a big part of my life, whether they’re furry, feathered, or swimming in the ocean. I’ve also spent time working in a veterinary setting, which has taught me to pay attention to the little things, like changes in an animal’s behavior, appetite, or energy. Every pet has their own personality and routine, and I really enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel happy, safe, and comfortable. Outside of work, I’m a creative person who loves music, , hiking, and reading. I’m just as happy going for a nice walk as I am having a quiet evening at home with a furry companion curled up nearby. I’ve also spent years managing and caring for private homes also a prior Airbnb host/owner so I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with someone in your space. I’m tidy, respectful, communicative, and always try to leave everyplace I go a little better than I found it. One of my favorite things about pet sitting is getting to know each animal’s little quirks and building a relationship with them over time. Whether your pet is a cuddle bug, a playful goofball, or a slightly suspicious cat who needs a little time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they are and my goal is pretty simple: happy pets :) and owners who can enjoy their time away without worrying about what’s happening back home. And yes, I’m always happy to send photos and little updates along the way! 🐾 I work a hybrid schedule here in Honolulu, so my mornings, evenings, and weekends are when I have the most flexibility for pet care. I enjoy starting and ending my day with some fresh air, a walk, and a little animal companionship! Some days/weeks I have the ability to work remotely other times I will go into the office. For overnight stays, I’m happy to keep pets comfortable in their own home and maintain their usual feeding, walking, and bedtime routines. I know every animal has different needs, so I always like to chat with owners beforehand to make sure my schedule is a good fit. I’m especially happy to build ongoing relationships with local families and become a familiar, trusted face for their pets. I think the best pet-sitting relationships start with good communication and a little trust on both sides! I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet in person or virtual before booking so we can get acquainted, go over expectations, and most importantly, make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. Being local to Oʻahu makes this especially easy, and I love having the opportunity to meet families in person. When staying in someone’s home, I’m mindful of their privacy, belongings, and household preferences. I like to ask questions upfront rather than make assumptions, whether that’s about visitors, household rules, emergency contacts, or your pet’s favorite hiding spot. I’m also a big believer in keeping owners in the loop. I’m happy to share little photo updates, funny moments, and reassurance that everything is going smoothly. My goal is for you to feel like you’ve left your home and furry family members with a trusted friend, not a stranger.
About: I’m from the Finnish forests, where animals have always been a natural part of the family. I grew up in a home full of beloved dogs. My dad is an experienced dog trainer who taught me so much about understanding and caring for our furry friends. I have a Staffy girl of my own who hasn’t made it to the island yet, and I miss her deeply. Walks just aren’t the same without her. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, so I can spend quality time with your pet throughout the day. I’m happy to handle walks, feeding, playtime, and snuggles whenever you need. I’m available to take your dog for walks or spend time with them in your home. I’m happy to follow any special instructions so your pet feel loved, cared for, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds throughout my life. Within the past decade I have cared for those types of my family and friends' pets from pet sitting them at my place to overnight sitting at theirs, as well as my own cat, Pluto, for the the past 11 years. I am currently in school to be a counselor on Tuesdays and Thursdays and would like to use my Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and some Sundays helping people play or walk or spend quality time with their pets. For the past decade I have casually helped care for others' pets. The most involved care was a recent overnight-pet sitting for 15 days: Two adorable aussie shephards, which included all basic care (feeding, walking, playing ball, brushing, and washing) as well as taking one to weekly vet appointments.
“Cheri stayed at our home for a week taking care of our baby…Labrador Retriever and our home. She did an outstanding job. She kept us updated daily with pictures and our baby was very happy. Cheri administered medication snd of course the daily treats. If you are looking for a sitter Cheri is the one to book. We will use her services in the future. Thanks for taking such great care of our precious baby snd our home.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Alondra! She stayed at our home for the weekend to take care of our dog, Molly, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, Alondra was accommodating and professional. She came by ahead of time to meet us, get instructions, and pick up the keys, which helped us feel confident that everything would go smoothly. While we were away, she sent us daily updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing Molly was happy and well cared for. When we returned home, Molly was her happy self, and it was clear she had received plenty of love and attention. The house was also spotless—you honestly couldn't tell anyone had been there except for our happy pup waiting to greet us! What really stood out about Alondra was her genuine, warm spirit. She is kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with while also being dependable and professional. It's never easy to leave our sweet girl behind, but knowing Molly was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We would absolutely book with Alondra again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other folks looking for a sitter. Thank you, Alondra, for taking such great care of Molly and our home! We appreciate you.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 8 years! I have fostered kittens for over a year and have frequently repeating clients because of my care! I work part time throughout the week and have a pretty flexible schedule. I work nearby and can easily check in during the day and have frequent breaks! I offer both boarding in my home and care in your home, depending on what is best for your pet. My home is warm, pet-friendly, and shared with 3 other people who also love animals so your pet will get plenty of attention and affection.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and truly love them! I have experience with all breeds and sizes, my own being a Pitbull and a German Sherpard-Rottweiler mix! I would love to get to know your pup and take great care of them! I'm currently a student at the University of Manoa, so my schedule is pretty flexible to fit in visits and accommodate your dog's needs! Mornings and afternoons are perfect for a drop by and feeding, while evenings are great for a walk and some playtime! If you ever need a last-minute drop-by or walk, please reach out! Safety is my top priority and I make sure to care for all dogs as if they were my own. I want to ensure you peace of mind, as well as a create a loving environment for your pup! Please let me know of any specific rules/routines followed in your home and I will ensure to abide by that!
“Aariah was amazing! She was supposed to watch my pooch for 3 days, but when a different dog sitter backed out, Aariah made herself available to watch him for 5 days. She took him on lots of walks, and my dog was a happy pup when I got home. Would definitely recommend Aariah for dog sitting and dog walking! :)”

“Seriously, the best dog sitter ever. My two GSD’s are not typical dogs. They like to bond with a person and enjoy lots of walks. VIctoria treated them like royalty, sent me a ton of pictures and walked the dogs several times a day. My house was clean when I got home and she had even washed and tied the sheets. I can’t say enough good things about her”


About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up with two dogs, including a Labrador, and also experienced caring for one of our dogs through pregnancy and raising her puppies. I’m especially experienced with cats and very attentive to subtle changes in their behavior, moods, and needs. I’m patient, accommodating, and communicative, and I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and adapt to each pet’s individual routine and personality. Whether it’s cat sitting, feeding, playtime, or taking your dog for a walk, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m easy to reach and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and unhurried care for your pets. I’m available throughout the week for drop-in visits and dog walks, and I’m happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions and respect each pet’s normal routine, personality, boundaries, and preferences. I’m attentive to changes in behavior and will always communicate with you if I notice anything unusual. I have one cat of my own who is extremely friendly and comfortable around other animals. For boarding, I welcome healthy, well-socialized cats and dogs who are friendly and comfortable around cats. I’ll make sure introductions are handled slowly and carefully so everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay
“Auntie Fumie took such good care of my kitty girls!!! She sent multiple pictures and videos every day. She also gave me updates on how they were eating, and how my youngest was doing taking her asthma meds. I will definitely hire again!!!”


About: I am unavailable from 12:00 to 2:00pm everyday to attend my college class! Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s what I love. I’ve spent years working hands-on with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I truly believe every animal deserves patience, respect, and individualized care. From energetic puppies and shy rescues to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m experienced in adapting my care to each pet’s unique needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of reliable care. I’m primarily available during the morning and early afternoon, which allows me to provide attentive, unrushed visits that fit well with pets’ daily routines. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. I follow your pet’s established routine closely—feeding, playtime, litter or potty care, medications, and quiet companionship—so their day feels as normal as possible while you’re away. I treat your home with respect, keep spaces clean and tidy, and take time to make sure your pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for. Thoughtful attention and reliable updates are always part of my in‑home care.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and getting to know their different personalities. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I’m responsible, patient, and will always do my best to make your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away! I’m a full-time student at UH Mānoa, but I have plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings! My schedule is pretty flexible, so I’m able to work around different needs. I also go on daily walks around Diamond Head and would love to take a dog on the walk. I’ve had pets my whole life, so I know how important it is to make sure they feel loved and taken care of! I love going on walks with them, playing, and just spending time with animals. I’ll always make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention, and make sure they’re well cared for.
“I hired Matt for house and dogsitting while I was away for New Years, and he was very friendly and professional throughout the process. He kept up my young and active dog’s daily routines well, he sent me occasional updates, and he was very responsive when I reached out with questions. I’d definitely hire Matt again.”

About: I’ve worked in the dog grooming industry for the past four years. I stopped so I could go to school for computer science. I love working with dogs, while it wasn’t always glamorous it was definitely worth it. I’m working part time to make money on the side. What better way than to work with dogs. I want to work around animals again and this is the most flexible way to do so due to my class schedule. I’ve had dogs my whole life so I understand walking them can be a challenge. I don’t usually allow dogs to run up to a dog I’m watching unless the owner ok’s it. I know some dogs can be unpredictable while others are very playful.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Downtown is $50

Valerie is absolutely amazing! My dog Marty is really shy and usually takes forever to warm up to people, but he took to Valerie right away — she must really be an animal person for him to feel so comfortable with her so quickly. Not only was she great with Marty, but she was also great with me, sending photos to me throughout the day and keeping me updated while I was out, which gave me such peace of mind being away from Marty for the first time since relocating to the island. Kind, punctual, and professional, I would absolutely recommend Valerie and would rebook her in a heartbeat!

Our second time booking with Melissa for overnight pet care for a long weekend. Our pets are always very happy and well cared for when we get home. Melissa keeps us informed about whats up with them and the walks our doggo has been on while we’re gone. Highly recommend and will continue to book Melissa to care for our pets when we can’t be there!

I seriously don’t even know where to start because she is literally the BEST!! 🥹🤍 I cannot recommend her enough. Being so far away from Teddy is always hard for me, but she made me feel like I was still right there with him the entire time. She sent us sooo many adorable pictures and updates and always made sure we knew exactly how he was doing. The amount of love and care she gave Teddy honestly meant so much to us. She treated him like he was her own, gave him so much attention and love, and I could tell how comfortable and happy he was with her🥹 I truly could not have asked for a better person to take care of my baby. She is such a sweet, caring person and genuinely one of the best dog sitters out there. If you’re looking for someone to love and care for your dog while you’re away, BOOK HER!! 🤍 We are beyond thankful we found her and will absolutely be booking her again and again!!

Elizabeth took such good care of my pup Remy and cat Sherlock while in home sitting while I was out of town. She was super communicative and sent so many adorable photos. Remy can be a little uncertain when meeting new folks but she warmed to Elizabeth quickly and felt so comfortable with her. Sherlock has diabetes and requires insulin injections twice a day. Elizabeth was proactive about making sure we were both comfortable with the regimen before my trip. I knew they were both in such good hands. I think Remy and Sherlock are looking forward to my next trip out of town so they can see Elizabeth again.

Gabby was great with my Lab Kulolo. I was a little nervous leaving him for the first time with someone new. It all worked out wonderful. She was on time and feed him and threw ball with him daily. He enjoyed her company. I am Thankful Gabby worked out for us! I would highly recommend her and will definitely call on her again. High Five Gabby 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you again!

Jessica was INCREDIBLE. Off the bat, her personality and energy was warm and trusting. She’s one of the most communicative pet sitters we’ve ever had, with fast response times (something we highly value!). She sent so many sweet pics of our pets while in her care, and went above and beyond to watch them and our home while we were away. She administered our senior dog’s medications without issue or complaint, and gave our kitties so much love. We will be coming back to her for all future bookings! You won’t regret trusting Jessica with your pets and in your home. Thank you Jessica! 🌺

Megan was wonderful with our pups during her stay. She sent pictures and kept us updated on their usual shenanigans, which was a big comfort with us being away on the mainland. The dogs absolutely adore her and we would definitely book with her again. Thank you Megan!

Rochelle did an amazing job taking care of Koa while I was away. She was very communicative throughout my time away and consistently provided updates and pictures of my fur baby, which really put my mind at ease knowing he was in such great hands. She took great care of Koa and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would highly recommend Rochelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy and very caring dogsitter😊

Naudia was absolutely wonderful! My fur babies felt so comfortable and at home with her while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind. I can’t thank her enough for taking such great care of them. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!
