“Ryan was great with my little "anxious" tender guy, who loved having someone work online at home with him all day! He took good care, gave medicine, and reported in with pictures daily. I came home to a healthy, happy pup and a clean house!! Lyn”


“We found ourself in need of care for our Kat on short notice and are ever so grateful for the truly amazing response that we received from Sienna! She is a delightful human filled with sunshine and joy. Our home was well cared for and our Kat was so happy to have someone share his space. Amazing!”

“Liz is phenomenal! Great connection with our little Lola who absolutely adores her! Very good at communicating how things are going and sending photos daily❤️. Liz also leaves the house spotless. We couldn’t be happier with Liz!”


“So happy to find Keala when we did. We have 2 Labradors - one who just got here about 3 weeks ago and Keala was up for the challenge of taking care of our babies 💕. Extremely prompt and the dogs love spending time with her. Will definitely book her again when we leave in a few weeks. Loved the text messages and photos she sent to keep us up to date.”


“Lizette is a wonderful companion for your furry friend! We recently booked her for the first time when we went on a vacation. Our 12-year-old Theodore loved her. She was very attentive to him, executed all of the feeding and doggie door schedules well, was at the house with him when we asked her to be, and was extremely communicative with text updates and photos of our little guy. She was also very clean and tidy and when we walked in the door exhausted, we were greeted by a happy dog and a clean home. We are going out of town again soon and are definitely rebooking her as she is the perfect dog sitter.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels. From wiggly goofy little puppies learning the basics to senior pups with all the wisdom and grey whiskers to match. My time volunteering at the animal shelter taught me how to build trust with shy or nervous dogs. I’m patient with training reinforcement, leash manners, and introducing new environments, (with the owner's permission, of course). I'm also experienced with pups who need a little extra care, including medication administration. Whether it’s long walks, play sessions, or quiet companionship, I tailor care to each dog’s personality and needs, so they feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I currently work part time from home, which gives me the flexibility to care for your pets with plenty of attention during the day. As I am very flexible, we can create a schedule that works best for you and your loved ones. I’m happy to spend quality time with your animals, whether that means playtime, walks, or just relaxing companionship while you’re away. I live in a condo with plenty of space and a large lanai, perfect for pets to relax or play. I’m committed to ensuring any pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and happy. I create a pet friendly environment by setting up a quiet, dedicated area with their favorite toys and bedding. If your pet is rambunctious and needs to burn off some energy, I’m happy to work with that too. I keep harmful items and hazards out of reach and supervise pets closely at all times. When caring for pets in their own homes, I follow your routines carefully to maintain consistency and reduce stress. I build trust through gentle handling, patience, and clear communication with both pets and their owners. Whether at my home or yours, your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities.

“Aris is probably one of the most detail-oriented and kindest sitters we’ve ever had! My partner and I felt so confident leaving her to house-sit, and she was super mindful of communication while we were away. Also, if you’re looking to get some of the cutest photos of your pet, she shares the best! (: when we came back, our place was almost as if we had just left and everything was so clean! Could not recommend her enough, 1000/100!! ?”


About: Dogs of all sizes and breeds were a part of my family growing up. I've pet-sit for friends on trips, including caring for a senior dog, and multiple pets (2 pups and 3 cats) at once in the same home. I've fostered a few times, including a puppy being treated for heartworm but, my current place doesn't allow me the opportunity to care for animals. I'm able to provide care for your pets in your home and neighborhood. If they're on a special diet or require a specific feeding method, please let me know. I also have experience in giving baths, applying treatments, and administering medication. When taking pups on walks, I like to be mindful of the time and temperature so the pups aren't walking on burning asphalt. I also like to be mindful of cleaning up after your pups, so we're not leaving a mess for the community if we can help it. I can check-in on, play, feed, walk, and give attention to your pups. I'm available during the week and on the weekends, including nights. If you require walks &/or feeding outside of my available neighborhoods, there might be some additional fees depending on distance and time of day (if applicable). I'm able to pet sit in your home so that your pups are more comfy and relaxed. I like to provide a calm atmosphere for them, giving them lots of attention based on their needs, and try my best to stick to their routines. I'm available to stay the night or do drop-ins. I'm not a partier, and believe in taking care when handling other's things so rest assured that your home is in good hands.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, helping family and friends whenever they traveled or had busy schedules. Whether it was just for the day or a few weeks, I’ve always loved making sure their pups felt safe, happy, and well cared for. A couple of years ago, I had the incredibly rewarding experience of fostering a rescue dog here on the island—and that’s when I decided to take my passion for pet care more seriously. When my neighbor had to move away, I stepped in to care for her pup and eventually found her a loving forever home. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely love and take pride in. I have a very flexible schedule this summer while I’m on break from school, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pup! I'm available for frequent check-ins, walks, and extended stays to make sure your dog is well cared for. While I’m currently exploring a part-time job on the side, pet care is a top priority, and I remain very open and committed to my availability. I live up in the valleys with plenty of other furry friend owners! It is a calm area with a super friendly community! I also have a little yard they can use for quick potty breaks.

About: I’m a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter with experience caring for multiple dogs during a multi-night stay, as well as helping my cousin care for their pet. I’m dedicated to providing your pets with plenty of attention, playtime, and love, ensuring their safety and happiness while you’re away. I’m available for drop-in visits during evenings and weekends, ensuring your pets are well-cared for and given plenty of attention. Whether they need feeding, a walk, or just some company, I’m committed to providing consistent care to keep them happy and relaxed while you’re away. I prioritize your pet’s well-being and comfort by caring for them in their familiar environment and routine. My drop-in services include feeding, walking, cleaning up after them, and providing plenty of playtime and affection. I respect your home and ensure it’s left just as I found it, giving you peace of mind while ensuring your furry friends are happy and safe.

About: I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends from my childhood pups Oreo and Cameo to my brother’s sweet pit bulls and my best friend’s energetic heeler. I’ve volunteered at shelters, fostered kittens, and cared for pets of all ages. With me, your fur baby will get plenty of aloha, belly rubs, and adventures! I work full-time during the week but am available on weekends and select weekdays. I’m organized and committed to prioritizing quality time, walks, and play with your doggie. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s usual routines, ensure fresh food and water, give daily walks, playtime, and lots of affection, and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

“I could not have asked for a better experience with a sitter! Being gone over 2 weeks made me nervous but Elise gave be multiple daily updates which eased my mind. Not only did I come back to two very happy dogs but my house was cleaner than I left it. I don't think I will ever ask anyone but Elise to watch my dogs!”


About: I have owned and cared for 4 dogs (1 lab, 2 beagles, 1 mutt), and 5 cats (3 orange tabby cats, 1 longhair black cat, 1 calico) in my lifetime, and I always play with the pet at the party. My favorite dog is the beagle and my favorite cat is orange but I love them all. I am available nearly every day and most evenings. I know how to quickly win over a pet with genuine display of empathy and affection. Knowing the spot to scratch also helps. I have very long legs and walk miles daily, so I can outwalk most dogs and keep up with them as they chase birds and mongoose. If they are not yet tired from the walk, I love playing tug-of-war afterwards. My life goal is to own a large yard, 2 dogs and 2 cats, and I am working towards that goal every day. I am currently working part-time as a theatre teacher. My teaching hours are 9-3 on Tuesdays and 11-3 on Thursdays/Fridays. I do theatre and improv most weekends in the evenings. Otherwise I am very available! I only use leashes that are secure. I keep a tight grip on a leash and wrap it around my fist to be safe. I am good about checking and securing gates.

Diandra Z.
“Diandra is one of the most generous and caring people I know. She is the type of friend that will insist on dropping off soup if you are sick. She is thoughtful and dependable. Back when we were in college together we had an irresponsible friend who adopted a dog then quickly abandoned this poor dog. Diandra immediately took this dog in, she worked hard to find a loving family willing to adopt. In the meantime she juggled and rearranged her life to fit the needs of her temporary dependent. Diandra is a person with copious amounts of love. She’s going to be a great mother someday if she ever chooses to be. She is more than capable of taking care of animals.”


Mary Janell M.
“It is my honor to talk about Mary Janell Murro and her qualifications for taking care of pets. I have known Mary for a long time. She is very friendly and ensures the highest quality with tasks or working with people and animals. I have even observed Mary when she pet sat five dogs of different sizes over a span of two days. She is a reliable and attentive pet sitter. I ensure anyone who wants to hire her that shes follows instructions carefully, keeps pets on their routine, and communicates clearly while you're away. I trust her completely to care for dogs and cats with responsibility and consistency and you should too!”


Alondra V.
“Alondra has a natural connection with animals. She’s calm, patient, and always makes sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. She’s a great communicator, dependable, and kind, and you can tell she truly enjoys every moment she spends with pets. Any animal in her care will get the attention they need and the affection they deserve.”

Not only did I come back to two very happy dogs but my house was cleaner than I left it. I don't think I will ever ask anyone but Elise to watch my dogs!”


Dan C.
“Dan is absolutely wonderful with dogs. We had him walk our high energy two-year-old shepherd mix, and he did a great job finding fun places for her to explore and tiring her out (he sent us a couple photos of our very happy dog). He took the time to sit and play with her afterwards to make sure she was settled and cooled down before he left, and he was conscientious of our home. Would definitely recommend Dan as someone to care for your dogs. He has a lot of experience with high energy young dogs and persnickety old dogs - and seems to love them all equally.”
Kalihi Valley pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dakota and Irisha watched our two dogs and my son's two dogs so I could attend our granddaughters baby shower out of town. I found them last minute and it worked out perfectly. They kept me updated throughout the time with pictures that were very appreciated. I plan on using them in November when our granddaughter is born!

Max 5 star ratings for Aris S! She took great care of my 5 kitties while on a long business/vacation trip. They have never taken to any other human other than me before but they took to Aris immediately. She'll be my #1 go to house/cat sitter going forward. Aris is someone you can trust and rely upon to take care of your kids - no doubt!
