“Hayley was great, as always. It was very hot that day, but she was conscious that Granola was overheating and brought him back early. I'm thankful that she had his safety in mind. My go-to dog walker, for sure.”


“Jen walked our dog twice so far and the second time Palala was already excited to see her again. We ALL look forward to Palala's scheduled tues/thurs outings with Jen. She’s kind and communicates well. Provides lots of photos/updates even in just the hour they are together.”


About: I run cross country, so my pitbull back home, ‘Olena, go on runs often to get out some extra energy. If your pet also wants to get out some extra energy, I am so down. I am a university student, home for the summer, so I am available most times and days of the week. I am so excited to meet and hang out your lovely dog! My pitbull, ‘Olena and I go on hikes, long drives, and LOVE eating spoonfuls of peanut butter. Our walks are our fun adventures, and I play fetch with him if/when we stop at a park.

“Whitney is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and experienced with animals and it shows. My puppy always looks to be having a great time in the pictures she provides to keep us updated on his walks. Her training experience shows as she is working with my puppy at doing better at walking on a leash. It shows when we take him for walks later how much is his picking up from Whitney. We would highly recommend Whitney for all your pet needs!”


“Janey is very thoughtful and careful with my senior dog, Ellie! She is understanding of her needs and places the utmost care with her. Janey is detailed in providing updates during the walks. Thanks, Janey!!”


“Lizette came and ran with my dog to help us out while I was at work! When I came home, Mara was very satisfied and restful, which was a good sign to me. When I first booked the walk, lizette also accommodated a meet and greet so that we could get to know each other ahead of the walk. She’s great with dogs and Mara was in love with her by the time she left. We will definitely be booking again .”


About: My lifelong immersion in animal care, having grown up with multiple pets including cats and a rabbit, means I understand diverse animal personalities and communication styles. I'm skilled at reading body language and adjusting my approach based on each dog's individual temperament and needs. As Ghost's dad, I bring hands-on experience managing a husky's unique energy and needs. This gives me practical knowledge of proper exercise routines, mental stimulation, and the special attention active breeds require. I have experience working with dogs requiring special care, having previously cared long-term for a Chow Chow with specific needs. This taught me how to adapt routines and provide attentive care for dogs with unique requirements. My background with multiple pets (cats and rabbits) means I understand different animal personalities and communication styles. I'm skilled at reading body language and adjusting my approach for each pet's comfort. As a UH graduate student, I'm detail-oriented and reliable. Being fully available throughout summer means your dog gets my complete, undivided attention. I provide photo updates and detailed reports so you'll know your furry family member is receiving loving, consistent care. As a graduate student currently on summer break from UH, I have the unique advantage of being completely free every day, all day, throughout the entire summer. This means pet care isn't something I need to squeeze between other commitments – it can be my primary focus. My open schedule allows me to: - Adapt completely to your pet's ideal routine rather than forcing them to adapt to mine - Offer flexibility for early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care - Provide longer, more attentive visits without rushing to my next appointment - Be available for last-minute requests or schedule changes - Give your pet my undivided attention during every visit Since I'm not balancing pet sitting with classes, work, or other major commitments this summer, I can truly dedicate myself to providing exceptional care for your pets. Whether your dog needs multiple walks throughout the day or your cat needs consistent company while you're away, my schedule is designed to prioritize your pet's needs and well-being. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routine: - I follow your detailed care instructions precisely, respecting feeding schedules, medication times, and exercise routines - I spend quality time playing, cuddling, or simply providing companionship based on your pet's preferences - I keep your home secure, bringing in mail and alternating lights if requested - I send photo/video updates after each visit so you can see your pet is happy and comfortable - I leave detailed notes about eating, bathroom habits, behavior, and activities

About: Please message me between 8 am-8pm Rover penalizes me for not answering within an hour. : / thank you for the understanding & time your taking to read : ) I have taken care of my dog for 18 years, as well as many neighbors dogs. I know what medical signs to spot and don't mind going the extra mile for seniors. *if you don't think you can afford the rates let me know! I'm currently a substitute teacher and can choose which days I work. I leave at 7am & come home no later than 2/3pm. But my partner leaves around 10-12am so they will not be left at home for long : ) Essentially any instructions left will always be followed, if they are a dog who prefers walks we walk, if they lounge we lounge, whatever the dog needs or wants they shall be spoiled! Please note I only accept one fur family at a time so that everyone has the best experience.

About: Hello, My husband works as a scientist and I work for the department of education as an athletic trainer. We have a 2 and 5 year old that love animals. I am comfortable giving injections or pills if need be. We like to stay as active as possible and go on hikes, beach, walks as much as we can. The area we live is safe and quite place. There is a duck pond right next store and a park right across the street. My husband and I have been pet lovers since we were kids. He was raised with cats, birds and dog. While I was raised with dogs. We recently lost our English Bulldog of twelve years and even though we would like to get another dog in the future we would be happy watching your pets in the mean time. We do have little kids. They are 2 and 4 years old. We would prefer to watching dogs that are use to little kids. I don't work till the afternoon so morning walks are a must. My goal is to tire them out in the beginning on the day. Your pets are like our family. They are allowed on couches and beds. They will be loved like I love my kids. thank you very much

About: I’ve been caring for other people’s pets for about five years now, but animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up helping my mom on her ranch, so being around animals—big and small—has always felt natural to me. Over the years, I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs and cats, each with their own personality and needs. Some want to play nonstop, others just want their space. I’ve given meds, gone on long walks, sat quietly with anxious pets, and everything in between. I try to meet each animal where they’re at and just be a calm, caring presence while their people are away. What sets me apart is that I don’t see this work as just checking off tasks. I really care about making sure animals feel safe and seen in their own way. Right now I’m working part-time, so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule throughout the week. My shifts are never longer than 6 hours, which leaves me plenty of time for walks, playtime, and quality care. I’m generally available most weekdays, with exact times depending on my work schedule that day. I like to keep communication open so we can plan ahead and make sure your pet gets the attention they need. I do take Sundays off, but otherwise I’m happy to work with your schedule! I only offer pet care through pick up or in clients’ homes, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’m always super respectful of the space and make sure to leave everything just as I found it. I know how important it is to feel confident about who’s in your home and with your pets, so I keep communication open and clear—and I’m never afraid to reach out if I have a question. More than anything though I do genuinely love being a steady, caring presence for animals, making sure they get the exercise, attention, and cuddles they need and deserve.

About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I. We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!

“Dan watches my 2 rambunctious Pitbulls and does an amazing job managing them! He takes them to a nearby park and works them out. It's a great relief to come home to 2 tired dogs. Will continue to work with dan!”

Marisol P.
“Marisol took good care of my dog, Bunny, for 10 days. She has extensive experience in dog care and is familiar with dog behavior. She was very communicative and answered my questions right away. She asked me to fill out a form with many detailed questions about Bunny. The form was her creation and every question is important to understand Bunny and I was impressed by her professionalism. She sent me many pictures and comments about Bunny every day that I was relieved to see how happy and fun Bunny was. Marisol is a great pet sitter full of love and I highly recommend!”


Kelsey & Chris B.
“Chris grew up caring for puppies and kittens that his family pets had. One Airedale Shasta has thirteen puppies and he helped feed and play with them. He was always gentle and protective. His last dog was a bulldog and he and Kelsey shared him as he aged to be twelve. It took the utmost patience and love to nurture Willie in his final months. They showered him with tenderness. They are compassionate people and would be great pet sitters. Jeanne B”


Emma C.
“Any pet owner who chooses Emma to care for their pets will be impressed by her genuine, responsible and positive demeanor! Emma loves all animals and animals seem to naturally gravitate toward her, which I believe is a testament to her commitment to promoting kindness and a conscientious level of connection not always witnessed in young adults. I have personally experienced Emma's care and dedication to animals when she cared for my own cats and dogs; it was a relief knowing they were in such good hands! She understands our pets are not just pets, they are truly a part of our family. Emma is not only responsible, she is also a great communicator and a solution oriented individual. Once you meet her, you won't want anyone else taking care of your pets!”


Areum H.
“Areum has taken care of my dog Yuzu many times! Yuzu is a high energy border collie but Areum often took her out hiking, to the beach, and the park with her dog Oreo. Yuzu loves Areum and Oreo very much and she's always excited to go to their house to see them. I know Yuzu is safe and having a great time when she's at Areum's house! Areum loves dogs and she will be great at taking care of any types of dogs!”
