About: Aloha! I'm Bethany, and animals have been at the heart of my life and work for the past 5 years. 🐾 I have 5 years of professional experience working in animal welfare, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through my work, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of animals—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets, shy animals, and those needing extra patience and understanding. My experience has taught me how to recognize animal body language, provide compassionate care, maintain routines, and help pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. As a lifelong animal lover living on Kauaʻi, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged ‘ohana members! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week. I understand that pets thrive on routine, and I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding, exercise, and enrichment schedules to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing are my highest priorities. With 5 years of professional animal welfare experience, I understand the importance of proper animal handling, recognizing body language, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, routine, and needs so I can provide individualized care and ensure they feel safe and secure while you're away. I believe communication is key, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, just as I would my own pets. I am attentive to home security, follow all owner instructions carefully, double-check gates, doors, harnesses, and leashes, and prioritize safety during walks and visits.

About: Apart from having my own 4 year old Shiba (Kuma), I’ve grown up around tons of dogs. My mom has a german shepherd and a black lab! I used to volunteer at the Humane Society when I was in high school and I even got to foster my own! With having Kuma, my roommate has two cats that i’m absolutely in love with! As a college student, i’m majoring in Biology and i love learning about animals. I can’t wait to meet your dog! Since i’m in college, I have a pretty set schedule as of right now. I’m available all day on the weekends (including friday) and monday and wednesday after 5pm. On tuesdays and thursdays, i’m off around 7pm. Hopefully this isn’t confusing but i’m available most of the days, and all of the days in the evening. I think it’s very important for a dog to get their sunlight and exercise in so i’m happy to take them to a park or walk around the block or even just play with them in the backyard/home! I’m pretty good with routines and pick up on things quickly. I’m good with cleaning up after your pet, whether it’s their poop/pee of just making a mess. Whatever you need me to do, i’m glad to do it!

“Sarah took great care of our 3 cats, sending us pictures every day and letting us know how they were doing. We had a slightly unusual situation, with one of our cats extremely frightened and in isolation from the others, and Sarah handled it all with grace. We took comfort in knowing our kitties were in good hands!”

About: *I am available to sit all over Kaua'i. I began house and pet sitting in Colorado, caring for homes and animals in Boulder, Denver, and Arvada. My very first sit was for a cat named EggRoll, and it quickly turned into a recurring relationship—something that naturally continued with many of the families I worked with. Since then, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, from cats to dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve supported everything from high-energy younger dogs who need consistent exercise, structure, and attentiveness, to older dogs who require a slower pace, extra care, and thoughtful support around mobility and accidents. One of my favorite parts of this work is getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I’ve cared for large dogs that others found intimidating, but through patience and presence, built trust and connection with them. I’ve also cared for multiple-pet households, including homes with both dogs and cats, and I adapt easily to different dynamics. I naturally align my schedule with the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means maintaining consistent walk times, feeding routines, play, or simply offering companionship. In many homes, pets have slept alongside me, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while their owners are away. Beyond pet care, I treat each home with deep respect. I keep spaces clean, care for plants, manage mail, and stay attentive to the overall environment so that everything is well cared for upon return. Above all, I bring consistency, attentiveness, and genuine care to every sit. **I currently offer in-home pet care that does not require driving. I’m very present during my stays and ensure pets receive consistent, attentive care in their home environment. For longer stays, I plan any personal errands mindfully to ensure your pet’s routine and care remain consistent and uninterrupted. ***I may occasionally have slightly delayed response times, but I always respond as promptly as possible. Mahalo! When I’m sitting, your pet is my schedule. Your pets' routine become my routine. I shape my days around their needs so they experience consistency, stability, and care while you’re away. I’m flexible and present throughout the day, making sure feeding, walks, playtime, and rest all happen naturally and on schedule. I adjust easily depending on the pet—whether they need more activity and engagement or a calm, steady presence. I approach every home and pet with a strong sense of responsibility, respect, and care. When I’m in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific behavioral or medical needs—so pets feel secure and experience as little disruption as possible. I stay attentive and present, always observing changes in behavior, mood, or health, and I communicate clearly with owners when needed. My goal is for you to feel at ease knowing your pet is not only being looked after, but truly cared for. In the home, I maintain cleanliness, respect privacy, and treat the space as if it were my own. I’m mindful of safety at all times—ensuring doors are secured, environments are calm, and pets are supervised appropriately. I also bring a calm, grounded energy into the home, which animals naturally respond to. Creating a peaceful and stable environment is just as important to me as meeting practical needs.
