House Sitting in Hanalei

“My family and I decided on a last minute trip and booked a house sitting gig with Diana. We have two dogs and a cat, and as a first time Rover user I was hesitant to have a stranger look after everything. I couldn’t be happier with who I found. She was incredibly kind and attentive to our fur babies’ needs every step of the way. You could tell she loves what she does. She even met us the day before to get acquainted with the animals and listen to me ramble about where she should start (I’m a bit of a control freak). To top it all off, she left the animals a care package! Diana is all aces!”

“Kaleta is amazing! The moment we met I knew she would care and love our animals and house as we do. She took great care of our dog who LOVED getting the exercise she needs with a 3 mile walk and daily park outings. We were spoiled with pictures of our fur-babies during our absence making us feel even more comfortable with our choice to use Kaleta. The most notable thing that set Kaleta apart is that she got our very elusive tortoiseshell cat out of hiding. This is no easy feat, so you know Kaleta is good people when she did this within a couple of days. We are so thankful for Kaleta and the wonderful service she provided. I highly recommend Kaleta!”

“We would highly recommend Tessa! She was relaxed, competent, professional and took great care of our cats. She also left our home super clean. It feels good having someone we can trust with our animals when we are away :)”

About: It is a privilege to take care of your pets while their parents are away. I will love your pets and treat them as if they were part of my family. The love, time, and care your pet will receive will put your mind at ease and allow you to enjoy your time away. I am open to questions, so let me know if you would like to meet. Thanks! Why I love pet sitting I have loved animals ever since I was born. I have had my own dog for 13 years. Being in your home, I will follow any schedule you provide to keep your pets happy, healthy, safe and comfortable while staying on their schedule. As I stated above. My goal is to follow your wishes and desires for your pet. Their comfort and safety are my primary concern always.

“My 4 furry kids took to Sarah immediately! As an individual she is reliable, loving and kind and quick to learn the somewhat complicated matter with food allergies and feeding, medication and supplements. She also shared pictures on text.”

About: YOUR PAWS ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH US :) :) Solution oriented, highly experienced with canines, and have a heart for helping people, and caring for animals...look no further. My wife Susie & I are originally from Missouri, and are high school sweethearts. We have lived on Kauai for 9 years, and are passionate in every way about dogs! We owned & operated a very successful in-home dog boarding business in Homer, Alaska for 3 years, where we averaged 6 dogs per day, and had almost 30 dogs staying with us on major holidays in our large 3-story home on five acres. We offered board & train services there as well. Besides boarding experience with all ages, breeds, and personalities, we have experience with training, breeding, volunteer vet work, canine healthcare, and have also served as dog handlers for an Iditarod sled dog team. Boarding with us: We have a wonderful home at the base of sleeping giant in the Wailua Homesteads in Kapaa. If your dog loves hiking, we certainly can fulfill that desire! We have cool tile flooring, and air conditioning for those hot Summer days, so there are no overheating concerns in our home. We have dog beds, human beds, and couches- all of which dogs are welcome on (we allow dogs to sleep with us too). We have a large backyard, and an enclosed back deck. We do not isolate our guests- they have complete freedom inside our home. When we go on walks, hikes, or trips- we utilize a leash for safety. We are not your average Rover sitters. We have such a great deal of experience, we know canine behavior, how to identify & treat health issues, how to adapt to every unique dog and their needs, and we care about our human customers just as much- acknowledging your specific needs & requests is very important to us, and we always maintain excellent communication. We are accustomed to some dog parents being hesitant and reluctant to leave their loved ones for a time, and we offer our support, reassurance, and patience with customers during that time, wether it be answering numerous questions, an extended delay to leave at drop-off, or several calls/texts requesting photos/updates- we're here for you, and completely understand. Feel free to reach out to us as often as you'd like while your dog(s) are with us to request updates/pics, otherwise we typically give you your space. We can pick-up and/or deliver your dog(s) to ANY location you’d like, just let us know (additional charges apply). Always stay in good communication with us regarding drop-off & pick-up days & times. Never arrive unannounced…we need notice before you are coming over (this is our home- not a commercial boarding facility with staff). What to bring at drop-off:  
1. Food- enough for the length of your dog's stay with us. Sealed containers with kibble are preferred. We do not store guest dog food in our fridge, so please bring appropriate food (no frozen, cooked, or raw foods that need stored in our fridge or freezer). 
2. Collar (or harness) & leash. ***Dogs must be kept on leash during drop-off & pick-up*** Please do not let them exit your vehicle upon arrival unless they are leashed. Same goes for pick-up...keep them on lead from our door to your vehicle please. Dogs that we DO NOT accept into our home for boarding (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY): 1. Aggressive dogs (aggressive towards humans or other dogs) 2. Dogs that have fleas 3. Intact males 4. Intact females during their heat cycle 5. Dogs that have extreme separation anxiety 6. Dogs that have accidents inside or not fully potty-trained (or mark inside) 7. Excessive barkers 8. Escape artists 9. Dogs that are destructive when left home alone House sitting: We offer premium house sitting services island-wide. We do require to meet with you first at your property to make sure it's a good fit, as we are very selective on where we stay, and who we're working with for live-in house sitting jobs. We're experienced home owners ourselves. Besides estate caretakers, we have been entrusted with the care and management of farms- both vegetable & orchard farms, & also livestock farms. We have personally owned dairy cows ourselves, and also have experience caring for horses, llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats & chickens. We are excellent with property management! Between Susie & myself, we also have experience with carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, power washing, house cleaning using natural non-toxic cleaning products, landscaping/lawn care, & tree pruning/hazardous tree removal. We are very well connected here on Kauai, and anything we don't know or can't handle ourselves- we know someone who can. We are caretakers at heart, and caring for animals is what we do best. We are the trustworthy family you have been looking for! We LOVE our job! We do not isolate dogs (unless owner requests us to), or it is absolutely necessary (we usually don't accept dogs for most of the reasons they may need to be isolated anyways). We treat them like they are part of our family (and they truly are while with us). The way we care for dogs varies specifically on a case by case basis. No two dogs, or owners, are the same, so we go with the flow (and requests/requirements/best interests) of the dogs & their owners wishes.

I can take your dog for walks runs, or to the local dog park where our pups can play together!

“Thank you Cristina for taking care of our babies over the weekend! I was very nervous leaving my pets with someone they were not familiar with but she put me at ease! Cristina communicated with me everyday, sending me videos and updates. I would highly recommend her! Thank you Cristina!”

“We LOVE Lindsey! She has such a sweet, calm energy that our big babies (two 90 pound Pitbulls) absolutely loved. We’re so grateful to have found her, and will absolutely be reaching back out to her on our next travel. Oh, she also sent pictures every day, and checked in with us without us asking. She was absolutely fantastic! Thank you Lindsey!”

About: Ive been caring for pets since I was a kid and professionally for the past 7yrs. I love the opportunity to spend quality time with our furry friends. Nannying, Senior Caregiving, and High End Property Management are also amongst the jobs I hold as a trusted and dependable client. I have a very flexible work and home schedule that allows me plenty of time to spend with the fur babies. I am willing to help with last minute check-ins if ever needed as well. I live on and manage a huge property that allows me to have pets stay with me. I am also willing to stay overnights at clients homes if that is better for their pets.

About: Thank you for looking at my profile. I looooove pets and it is my joy to assist your pet needs. I offer walking, hiking and exercising options, pet/house sitting, and house visits. I work online and am able to adjust my hours around to accommodate your needs. I love getting outside with the pets consistently or just loving them up. It’s a mutually beneficial service. It brings my heart joy. I have a consultation with each client on what the pets needs are and adjust as needed. I offer a kind, and joyful space and company for your loved one.

About: Hi! My sister & I are hoping to spend some time in Kauai around Thanksgiving and would love to watch your pups! Message me for details! I have never met non-pet owners who love pets more than my family. (Very tough concept to grasp as a kid who desperately wanted a dog and never got one - but I'm here now). Ever since I was little my family has been the go-to neighborhood dog sitters. I'm so glad I was able to experience the joy of having a pet, even if it wasn't permanent. Being a young college grad in a new city I have found myself with a fairly open schedule seeking that same joy only a furry friend can bring (and understanding the massive responsibility I have decided not to commit to just yet). I have 3 families in the area I consistently dog sit for and 2 friends with cats I also check in on when needed. I am very flexible but currently not offering boarding per my new landlords requirements. I have experience with puppies, kittens, anxious dogs, small dogs, BIG dogs, super active dogs and older pups. I have experience caring for dogs who have a scheduled medical routine (meds with food, special meals, timed "treats" etc.). I'm just excited to share the love you feel for them and keep them feeling cared for and safe while their people are away. I am traveling to the island/ on PTO so would have full time capability to watch your dog and they would get my undivided attention :) I am very comfortable housesitting as well as dog sitting, and flexible to meet your pet where they are and hopefully being in their own space will ease any separation anxieties they experience when their favorite person is away! I'm adaptable for their current routine. Whether your pet likes to play outside/go for walks as often as they're allowed to, or would prefer to lounge around the house and reluctantly walks when needed - I'm ready for it.

About: I am a professional, engineer, with a passion for animals and the outdoors. Growing up I foster parented multiple puppies, cared for my neighbors' animals, and always cared for our family dog and cat. I also have years of care experience in the form of nannying. I am active, and love to be outdoors, if you want your fur-baby to get exercise! . I will work my fulltime job from your home while keeping your pet company, or just spend evenings with your pets, depending on your preference. I can care for your pet based upon your preference, in your home. Taking them on scheduled walks or letting them out into the yard for scheduled breaks. I can spend up to 40 hours in your home keeping your pet company, should you desire. I love animals, and will care for your pet as I would my own.

About: I’ve been dog/cat sitting for regular clients for 7 years and enjoy being able to make families feel supported in caring for their animals! I’ve cared for dogs and cats at all stages of life and also experienced in caring for dogs with anxiety and medication needs. I have no kids or pets of my own and started because I couldn’t have my own pets in my previous apartments even though I would have loved to. I will care for your pet as close to how they receive care at home. I want to prioritize animal care services as the forefront of my scheduling. I outfit the care based on the needs of your animal, mirroring what happens regularly whether it is a walking, drop-in, or house sitting service.
