Pet Sitting in Kahuku

About: I have had dogs my entire life, but what truly sets me apart is my professional, hands-on experience working with them every day. I spent over three years at a dog daycare, where I grew from a daycare attendant to a dog trainer, and eventually became the daycare manager. This experience gave me the opportunity to work with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and personalities in a structured and supervised environment. In addition to my daycare and training background, I have been a responsible dog breeder since 2022, raising four successful litters of Golden Retrievers and Labrador Retrievers. This has given me an even deeper understanding of canine behavior, development, and attentive, hands-on care from early life stages through adulthood. I have a strong understanding of dog body language and behavior, which allows me to safely handle everything from high-energy dogs to more nervous or reactive ones. My goal is always to create a calm, safe, and positive experience for every dog in my care. Dogs are not just a job to me, they are a huge part of who I am. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a Labrador Retriever, and they continue to deepen my love and understanding of what dogs need to feel secure, happy, and well cared for. When caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own. You can expect consistent communication, reliability, and attentive care throughout your time away. If you have any questions about my experience or would like to see if I’m a good fit for your pet, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I would love to connect with you. Pet care is a consistent and important part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule around providing dependable, attentive care, including regular feeding times, exercise, and enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs. While I do have dogs of my own, they are on a stable routine and well cared for, which allows me to plan my time responsibly and show up fully for the pets in my care. Because of this, I am mindful about how long I am away from home at a time, but I ensure that every visit and stay is intentional, reliable, and focused on your pet’s comfort and well-being. Whether your dog needs structured walks, playtime, or a calm and consistent presence, I am able to incorporate their routine seamlessly into my day. At this time, I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so that your pet can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I take pride in following each dog’s specific needs, whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or simply providing a calm and attentive presence. I am very mindful of safety, structure, and reading dog body language to ensure your pet feels secure and well cared for at all times. If your dog enjoys walks, I am happy to take them around your neighborhood or to appropriate outdoor areas, depending on your preferences. I tailor each visit to match your dog’s energy level and routine. I offer a range of services including drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting depending on availability. My goal is to provide reliable, thoughtful care while keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in your absence. If you have any questions, special requests, or concerns, I am always happy to communicate and make sure I am the right fit for you and your pet.

“Just awesome! I was able to book on short notice when had to leave for an emergency. Katelyn responded quickly, took very good care of our baby and even watered our plants for us. Top notch sitter for sure and we’ll definitely request again!!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and truly enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. Whether it’s going for a walk, playing, or just giving lots of cuddles and attention, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. I understand how important our furry friends are, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own while you’re away. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s stopping in for a visit, going on a walk, or spending extra time keeping your pets company, I’m able to adjust my hours to fit their needs. This allows me to give them plenty of attention and care whenever it’s needed. I take pet care seriously and always pay close attention to the little details that make each animal feel comfortable and happy. From following feeding routines exactly to noticing changes in behavior or mood, I make sure your pets get the care they’re used to and deserve. I believe every pet has their own personality and needs, and I’m dedicated to giving them the best possible attention while you’re away.

“Amanda is the absolute best! We feel so safe having her take care of our dogs, and she loves them like they’re her own. We’ve book her in every time we go away and it’s been perfect every time. Thank you so much!”

About: *Location: Hau'ula, HI* Registered Nurse for 10 years. Competitive athlete for 20 years. Throughout my childhood I grew up with Dobermans, Bichon Frise and Standard Poodles. I have unconditional love for all dogs and all their personality. Some breeds I've watched over the last 6 months include Rhodesian Ridgeback, Pitbull mix, French Bull dogs and Standard Poodle. I've trained dogs to swim and even surf. I am comfortable with post operative care and administration of medication. Pet sitting experience also includes rabbits, cats, exotic birds and small reptiles. Happy to spend time with your pet at any time of the day. Starting next month my goal is to transition to provide full time pet exercise service to the community. I enjoy going to the beach and being outdoors which is something I have found most dogs to enjoy as well. I can do as little or as much exercising as you request and the pup can handle. If they just want to cuddle and cruise I'm well versed in that program as well.

About: i’ve been around pets big and small, from kittens to huskies, I love animals. I am a long term care giver for a Australian shepherd. i work part time, so on the days i’m not working i would love to get out and take a dog for a walk or two. I care for pets in a loving way, discipline can be very important, but i like to reward for good behavior and ignore bad, but of course use appropriate discipline when needed.

“Great communication and took daily pictures of my pet. She even got my shy boy to let her pet him. Which is honestly remarkable because he’s highly skittish around strangers. Also, Monica followed all of my instructions perfectly. I highly recommend.”

What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, my flexibility (I’m available every day of the week!), and my attention to detail. Also I have reliable transportation. I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am currently taking a break from work (I am a teacher). So I am available any day of the week. I love to go to the beach, run, go on hikes. So if you prefer I can take the dog with me. Me and my boyfriend live in the house on the North Shore. We don’t have a fence in our house. I am available to walk the dog 3 times a day. I love going for a walk and I have plenty of free time.

About: Hi Everyone! My name is Drew, I moved back to Florida this month from Hawaii. I love walking and taking care of dogs. I’m comfortable with all different breeds and sizes of dogs! Growing up, my family would always rescue dogs. I’d love to help out with your dog(s) in anyway I can, whether that’s dog sitting, walking, or stopping by to let him/her out! I work mornings so I can feed/let out dog before I leave and when I get back. My schedule is very flexible and I can be more available.

About: I love animals and believe they deserve nothing but love and care. I have had dogs and cats throughout my whole life and have always been responsible for their care. I helped train my parents beautiful Old English Bull Dog puppy when they received him when he was just 13 weeks old :) he is a very intelligent dog. I also took care of our very old and sick long time family dog of 17 years who I had known since I was born, he had arthritis, pulse he was blind with cataracts. I love all other types of animals as well as pups! I can't wait to meet your furry friends!! I’m currently a stay at home mom, which gives me the flexibility to be there for your fur babies! Also I go on walks and to parks an awful lot so they will get to play and have plenty of exercise. I have a fenced yard and near the beach so we can always go on nice long walks. I love making sure they have what they need and plenty of toys.

About: I have been blessed to have grown up with dogs in my household so being with them is like being with family. For 17years I got to learn common behaviors, body language, and how to do basic training with them. I get along well with all animals, but I love being with dogs the most. I am very reliable and believe communication is key, it's very important in providing the best care as possible. I am available most days but I just need a heads up so I can plan and prepare for your pet. I can give full care to your pets such as feeding, walking, bathing and even some much needed belly scratches. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pet! Mahalo for your consideration. I am a home caregiver and have short hours throughout the week usually 8am-12pm and off for the rest of the day. Weekends are completely open and I can be with your pet. I do not have a yard, but we often get out of the house and go to the park or to a nearby beach to let out some energy. I work 8-12pm and off for the rest of the day. So fitting in a drop in or a walk is perfect! So getting in your pets daily walk while you’re away at work fits perfectly with my schedule. I have pet seat belts when going for car rides to the beach or to a hike to keep them safe while transporting. Keeping all gates and doors closed while in the home will avoid any quick get aways.

About: I grew up with 4 rescue/special needs dogs (8 total throughout my life). I have also had many dog sitting jobs for family friends and neighbors! I’m well equipped to handle any and all of your needs. I work remote and am also an online student studying biology. This means currently I am fully available for all your doggy care needs! As long as there’s enough advance notice I am usually always able to schedule whatever needs you have! I won’t be able to board or care for your dog at my own house as we already have 2 dogs here! However, I am completely willing to care for your pet in their own home which is an environment they’re already comfortable in!

“Would highly recommend Heather. She was prompt and took great care of the fur babies..”
