About: Dogs have been my quiet passion since childhood. I used to collect dog-themed postcards, books, and just about anything related to them. Calming dogs was even considered my “special skill” as a kid—and to this day, I still find joy in helping shy or anxious pups feel safe and loved. As a freelance designer who once dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, I bring that same care, sensitivity, and attention to detail into the way I care for animals. I naturally read each pet’s body language and adapt to their emotional needs—whether they need a slow, gentle approach or playful companionship. Even now, my husband and I sometimes visit service dogs at our local library to read books to them—just to spend time with dogs while we miss our own pup who lives with our parents on the mainland. Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do—it’s something I truly love. I work from home on weekdays with a flexible schedule—typically between 8 AM and 4 PM—but I’m happy to adjust as needed to fit your pet’s care routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or simply keeping your pet company. Evenings are also open, and my husband (who’s just as passionate about dogs!) often joins me in caring for them. Saturdays are also available, while Friday nights and Sundays may be limited due to church commitments. Above all, I’m committed to being present, responsive, and reliable—ensuring your pet always feels safe, loved, and well cared for. To start, I’m focusing on dog walking and drop-in visits outside the home. I live in a cozy two-bedroom condo with an ocean view, which is currently best suited for small to medium-sized dogs. As I gain more experience and build trust with each pet I care for, I plan to gradually offer in-home daycare as well. Our space is clean, quiet, and filled with warmth—perfect for dogs who enjoy a calm, cozy environment with lots of love. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them at home, safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities.

“Debbi no ka oi. (Debbi is the best) we relied upon Debbi’s care for our IG during a busy week plus in Honolulu. She was flexible and able to suit our needs perfectly. Our dog was happy, healthy and I was always assured of Debbi’s excellent care of our pet. I highly recommend her.”

About: I have a happy girlie herd of 5 guineapigs. I spend a lot of time caring for not only their nutrition and health but their enrichment, too! How does this apply to your dog, cat or misc cutie pie? I'm a diligent pet owner and pick up on pet behavior and cues quickly. In my home, their safety is my priority and no sweetheart with "please pet me!!" Eyes will be ignored. I'm much more patient with animals than I could ever want to be with people. Dog is a leash puller? Okay, long walks then and playtime to drain their hyper meter. I have had dogs in my home most of my life, cats and now just guineapigs. They have their own room and are safe for me to host your pet. I work from home doing the exciting (To me) work of accounting! I have a comfy couch and two hands to administer belly rubs, a quiet apartment with lots of natural light and valley breeze. I would take your dog out for a walk early morning, afternoon and before bed. If your dog loves to play with toys to tire themselves out, bring them because I will play with them until they are napping on my couch. As for leaving the home, I will try not to leave your pet for very long, only to get groceries or grab something from the store. If your dog has severe separation anxiety please let know. There may be ways to reduce their anxiety for short stays. I have guineapigs and by default I know how to pet proof an area because they chew on anything they can. For dogs and cats I just mimic this and anticipate what they might get into if I don't secure the area. My guineapigs have their own room and cage that for dogs bred originally for their prey drive will never interact with as I can shut their door. Your pets will never get food from me you haven't authorized to include accidentally dropping food. Im immune to begging puppy eyes for table scraps. On walks, I will pick less busy times and avoid other dogs. I wouldn't want an unfriendly neighbor dog to interact with your sweetie. Emergencies. I will call you, then your vet l, ER vet or feather and fur in Kailua a 24hr Vet ER. It's a 30 ish minute drive from my home I have made in the past for my own guineapigs health. Your pet is in safe hands.

“Great care for my dog, and I’d highly recommend Summer for anyone who needs a friend for their dog. Very responsive, sent pictures, and costly to great care.”

About: My life is best when it's full of furry friends! I've grown up with a dog, and even when I came to college I quickly found families with dogs to hang out with being away from home! I've been trusted to dog sit,walk and take care of a variety of dogs of different sizes/needs throughout college, and I would love to do it more. I also have experience giving dogs medication/helping them swallow pills. Possibly like your dog, I love long walks, being outside and end-of-day cuddles! I am a current Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Hawaii Pacific University. I moved in August from Raleigh, North Carolina. I only go for in person lab about every 2 months which I am marking off my calendar, and on zoom working hard the rest of the time! That being said, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to stay with/check in on your pet frequently. Long walks with the company of a furry friend would really be an awesome way to take a break! I have always been an early riser and am prepared to get up early to attend to responsibilities with a dog! I usually get up at 6 or before no matter what the day entails, so I will not keep your dog waiting for breakfast, a walk and a potty break! Also I would like to include that my photo send percentage is low on Rover, because people usually prefer me texting them updates instead of sending them through the app- I can do whichever! I am very active and frequently go on long walks and can go out on adventures if your furry friend would like to join me! I would love to follow your routine schedule with the dog as well, and my schedule gives me the flexibility to do so!

“We use Deanne regularly for daycare services when needed and she’s always great, very consistent, always very communicative, and sends me updates and pictures throughout the day.”

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for over 20 years, and I can’t imagine life without them. From playful puppies to sweet senior pets, I’ve cared for dogs and cats through every stage of life. My own pets have taught me patience, responsibility, and unconditional love. I know how much they mean to us, and that’s why I treat every pet I care for as if they were part of my family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just sitting together for cuddles, I give pets the attention, comfort, and love they deserve. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs and cats, making sure they were happy, healthy, and loved every single day. I’ve handled everything from daily walks, feeding, and playtime to giving medications and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll treat your pet like my own—with kindness, reliability, and lots of affection. Whether it’s long walks, play sessions, or quiet cuddle time, I make sure each pet gets the attention they deserve. I’m self employed my schedule is way flexible to take care of your furry friend. Don’t just leave them home, book their tailwagging staycation! :) I have a comfortable home that your pet will enjoy. I spend a lot of time outside, so your dog will get plenty of outdoor time. I look forward to welcoming & caring for your pet/pets

“Suzie did a great job taking care of my puppers, and she sent me some great pictures throughout the day! I will definitely book with Suzie again!”

“Charisse was so kind and loving with my young golden retriever, taking excellent care of him during his first visit with her when he was feeling a bit anxious that I left him. She also gave me some wonderful, professional tips about how to care for his long fur and possibly training him to be a service dog. I needed the time to get some errands done, being a single mum and caregiver to a child with a chronic illness. Thank you so much for your amazing help, Charisse! :)”

About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family and friends of friends. Just like when I teach in schools, I provide a safe and welcoming space. I have experience walking, hiking, feeding, giving baths, giving medicine, and teaching new tricks to dogs. I have cared for cats as well. In my adult years I've had three dogs of my own and two cats. I have used Rover before for my dog, and now would love to provide great service for other peoples' dogs and cats, like how Rover sitters did for my dog. I value communication and look forward to sending my clients photos frequently of all the fun their pet is having when being taken care of by me. I have a baby, so I am home a lot. My schedule is very flexible. I can provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your pet. If your pet stays with me, your pet will receive frequent walks as exercise is important to me for the pet's health and my own. Lots of love, treats, and cuddles to give here!

“Agatha was great, my doggies loved her! I was very nervous but she made me feel comfortable by sending me several photos and videos throughout the day!”

“Karen was wonderful!!! As soon as I booked her she called me up to introduce herself and asked if I had any special requests. My dog suffers from anxiety and therefore I’m always anxious to leave him with new people. The moment I met Karen I knew my dog was going to like her. She’s warm and gentle with a bubbly personality. She sent me many photos and responded to my text messages right away. I’d recommend her in a heart beat!”
