Spencer and his partner Ruby did an amazing job with our corgi Theo! If we could give them 10 stars out of 5 for the care they gave our doggo, we would! They are very friendly and enthusiastic, Theo loved them immediately. They kept Theo safe and happy, we even had neighbors tell us how well cared for our boy was while we were on our trip. We got daily updates and pictures, which we super appreciated.

Izchel was amazing! It was my first time using a dog/house sitter. She took great care of my 3 standard poodles. She stayed at my house with them & everything was neat & tidy & my dogs were calm & relaxed when I got home. She kept me updated while I was away & asked questions if she needed clarification. She went above & beyond, I will definitely use her again.

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! I have experience with everything from horses and livestock, to birds, reptiles and fish. I am currently working very part time (3 hours a day) at a Kennel. I am usually always home by 11 am and am only away from home for a very short time. I have a large fenced yard, but will crate or kennel pets while unsupervised for a very short amount of time. I spend a majority of my time at home with my own pets and hanging out in the yard.

Excellent sitter! Quickly developed a genuine bond with my dog and was super caring and helped my pup ( a recent senior rescue) live her best life. Good communicator, very friendly, went well beyond to give my dog a great experience. I highly, highly recommend.

Lauren was so very gentle, respectful and attentive towards all my kitties, and I have a handful of them. I loved receiving the lovely photos she sent during her stay as it made me feel connected. During one stressful incident with one of my most skittish cats she took all the proper measurements to ensure we were updated on his status. She really went out of her way to make sure she did everything she could to ensure his wellbeing and always communicated so well. I would definitely trust her to stay with my pets again. Looking forward to seeing her again in the future and can highly recommend her to anyone needing a person that provides considerate care for their pets.

Highly recommend Kaylee! She saved the day. We had a change of plans last minute and had be out of town longer and within 2 minutes she responded yes so we could stay and didn’t have to worry. She was constantly updating us on how Bentley was doing with pictures of their walks and playtime. We knew she took good care of him because he was so calm and happy when we got home. We will be using her again!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve personally cared for dogs, cats, and small animals throughout my life, and my experience extends well beyond pet ownership. I hold a degree in biology with coursework focused on animal behavior, physiology, and research. This background helps me better understand animal body language, behavior, and individual needs. I’ve worked with a wide variety of species, including exotic hoofstock and birds in a zoological setting, as well as pigs, goats, and birds through wildlife rescue and animal care work. In addition, I spent approximately three years working in an animal shelter environment, where I handled and photographed thousands of dogs to help them find loving homes. Through that experience, I learned how to safely interact with dogs of all sizes, ages, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether your pet is outgoing, shy, energetic, a senior, or requires a little extra patience, I strive to provide attentive, reliable care tailored to their individual personality and routine. I’m a small business owner and public school teacher, which gives me a structured but flexible schedule that works well for pet care. I currently have more availability during weekends, school holidays, and breaks (especially during the summer months), when I can offer extended and consistent care for pets and house sitting. During the school year on regular weekdays, I’m typically available in the mornings and evenings, with greater flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to discuss specific dates and needs to see what works best for your pet’s routine. I care deeply about consistency and communication, so pets feel settled, safe, and well cared for, and owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. I provide pet care in my clients’ homes, where I focus on maintaining each pet’s normal routine in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines are completed on time and as directed. I treat every home with a high level of respect and care, keeping spaces clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. I’m mindful of both the pet’s needs and the owner’s home, and I prioritize reliability, safety, and consistency in every visit or stay. I also believe clear communication is essential, so I provide updates as needed to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

About: Aloha pet parents! Your pets won't just be watched, they'll be spoiled. I'm dependable, experienced with all animals, and genuinely to be around them. I'll keep them safe, loved, on their routine, and send plenty of updates so you can relax while you're away. With a nursing, and military background you can trust your pets in safe & dependable hands. I only work one weekend a month, and so I’m home plenty of the time. I study online and am working on an advanced degree in healthcare. I love to be outdoors and active, which is why I love being with animals so much. I live on an acre with one friendly Australian Shepherd who loves to make new friends. There’s plenty of safe space for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I make sure pets are always supervised, comfortable, and sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any specific instructions from owners.

About: I’ve cared for animals and pet sitting since I was very young! I have farming experience, and I love helping animals feel at peace when their owner is gone. I’ve even dealt with and more complex situations in caring for animals with medical needs. I also have a passion for chickens so if they need care while your gone I’m a great fit! I’m free on the weekends, and work remotely throughout the week, which would leave me plenty of time to play and care for your special pet! I am happy to care for your animal in their home including walks and keep care of basic house sitting needs while you are away! I love to play with pets and snuggle them if they’ll let me!

About: From having a pet dog, to dogsitting and catsitting countless times throughout my life, I’ve learned how to meet the needs of each animal- from puppies & kittens to the elderly of all different shapes and sizes! It’s important to me to make sure they’re getting enough love and care throughout the day. I believe taking care of a pet’s emotional needs is just as important as meeting them physically, so I do my best to make sure they’re staying happy and comfortable while they await the arrival of their parents later on :) My week availability is very open as I’m in between jobs, so I have a lot of free time to dedicate to pet lovin’ on Mondays-Fridays, especially between 9 am to 7 pm. I respect the space and property of others, so I do my best to take care of your pet in whatever way you see best fit, and in a way that respects the home I’m coming into.

Angela is amazing, compassionate, gentle, caring, nurturing with my family member (pet). I rarely leave my dog so was very stressed out about doing so. We had a pet meet and greet first and I knew I had found the right person. She came inside and immediately sat on the floor to meet my little dog. Angela sent me photos and videos and when I returned, my dog was quite happy to be around her. This showed me, we made the right decision. End your anxiety and stress, use Angela. Highly recommend.

About: Although I recently joined Rover, I have taken care of animals consistently for 3 years+ on the Islands with excellent references and past experiences. I moved 2 years ago to the Islands to pursue working with animals full time and follow my calling to be of service to animals in a deeper way. I am vegan and have been for 6 years now for my love and respect of animals. I also grew up with a dog and cat so have years of experience with them, including training my dog when he was a puppy ~ I have experience with puppies & kittens, adult dogs and senior dogs of all sizes. I also have experience with farm animals (horses, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, turkeys) I have administered medications to animals as well - I love to spend as much quality time as I can like going on long walks, riding to the beach together, and cozily working from home together so that they can feel loved and cared for while you are away🌺 I work full time online as a women’s coach and can work from anywhere - I can work my schedule around any needs or any special requests that you have for them - I want to keep them as comfortable as possible and staying close to their daily routines I take care of animals typically in the client’s home, always respecting your home and leaving it cleaner than I found it 🪷 I have also done other work around the house such as taking care of clients’ airbnbs, plant care, and am happy to take care of your garden or do any extra chores/tasks

Chelsea is a true animal lover! From the moment I met her, I felt at ease leaving my kitty girl, Malia, with her while I was away. She's intelligent and resourceful, and solved an issue with the key on her own, when I hadn't see her text. Chelse I appreciated her check-ins which were informative, and her great pictures that showed Malia was comfortable and happy. All her communication was excellent. She was patient with all my notes. TMI! She took it all in stride. She followed feeding and medication instructions perfectly. Brushed and played with her... even left her a toy. The house was immaculate... everything just as I left it... or better. The litter box was clean. Malia was checking the door the night I got home. I think she was waiting for Chelsea! THANK YOU, Chelsea. I look forward to another trip so Malia can play with you again!

My dog absolutely loved Amanda! She was more comfortable with her than with any stranger I’ve ever seen her meet, and it was such a relief knowing she felt safe and happy while we were gone. Animals truly seem to gravitate toward her, and she has such a natural, empathetic way with them. She even went out of her way to buy Honey a toy, which was so thoughtful and sweet. She sent tons of photos and updates, was very thorough, and took wonderful care of both Honey and our home. She even left the house cleaner than we left it. I couldn’t recommend her more and will definitely be booking with her again!
