Pet Sitting Kalihi Valley

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese who was my best friend, and since then I've been the go to dog sitter for friends and family. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including Huskies, Border Collies, Poodles, Shiba Inus, and many more. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and tend to treat them like my own kids. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or keeping them company while you're away, I'll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work from home so I'm pretty flexible. The earlier we communicate the more flexibility I have. Typically more available in the afternoons and evenings I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel a little nerve wracking, so I'll do my best to make it easy for both you and your pup! Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I'll follow their usual routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you're away.

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!

“Cassie is amazing. She’s the dog whisperer. She’s so knowledgeable when it comes to dog training and super helpful. Definitely trust my fur baby with her any day.”

“Brandi is great! She is very communicative and is always on time. My two pups absolutely love her! She brightens their day when she comes over to give them a potty break during our long work hours. Our older dog has some health problems and she gives him his mid-day mediation. Their quality of life is so much better now that she’s a part of it!”

About: I’ve always been a responsible pet owner since I was little and have had numerous unique pets growing up. I love pet sitting, walking, and taking care of them all as if they were my own 🩷 I am currently a substitute teacher and have some extra time and days I don’t have work so I have free time for walks and cuddles. I have always prioritized safety in my different occupations doing security and corrections most of my life. I take pride in people’s trust in me in different ways.

“Malia was great! We felt very comfortable having her drop in for a visit with our dog for an hour to walk feed and play with him. We will for sure use Malia again! Thank you!”

About: Hey there! I’m an active, dependable animal lover who has been caring for pets for friends and family for years. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves walks, trail adventures, beach time, or a good run, I’m happy to keep them active and moving. If they’re more of a couch companion, I’m just as content spending the afternoon reading a book with a cat curled up beside me. My experience includes caring for dogs and cats of all ages, house sitting, looking after macaws, and owning reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and following detailed care instructions. I also volunteered at the California Living Museum, where I gained experience working around wildlife and developed an even greater appreciation for attentive, compassionate animal care. I’m clean, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel loved while you’re away and I get an adventure buddy. I currently work full time Monday- Friday in Chinatown. I can be there in the mornings and later afternoons/nights. Weekends just if I’m not on a boat or scuba diving I’m available. I cannot keep animals at my house per the rental restrictions. But I am more than happy to housesit/ pop in a couple times a day. Just let me know your preferences.

“Our two small doggies had very good care while we were away. Both doggies were happy and comfortable, and our doggie on meds got them twice a day without fail. Dagmar has excellent communication - couldn't be any happier there. We recommend and wouldn't hesitate to book her again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life. My family dog, Buddy, is 12 years old, and we’ve had him since I was in 7th grade. Even after moving out, I still help care for him by taking him on his midday walks and spending time with him whenever I can. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I also understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your pet isn’t always easy. If I were hiring someone to care for Buddy, I’d want someone who is dependable, respectful, and keeps me updated every step of the way—and that’s exactly the kind of sitter I strive to be. I’m very communicative, flexible, and reliable. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and send plenty of updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and having a great time. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable and confident while you’re away. I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care. Since I’m home most days, I have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. While I’m not able to board pets in my own home, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home where they’re most relaxed. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is in good hands.

“Loved MaryAnn’s knowledge and expertise regarding dog behavior. She provided excellent care, training and mental stimulation for our dog while we were on vacation.”

“Andrea was wonderful. She took great care of our shy boy Julius and went above and beyond. We were so grateful to know we had someone kind, caring and responsible while we were away. We will definitely hire her again!”

Kari H.

“We are so grateful for Laura. It is wonderful to have someone we trust to take care of our dog and cat so we don't have to worry when we need to be away. They are always very well taken care of! Can't recommend her enough!”

About: Hello, my name's Rachel and I'm a 3rd year student at Drexel University. I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I just finished working at Penn Vet Working Dog Center in assisting to train working dogs that are trained for different disciplines such as; search and rescue, explosives, narcotics and medical detection. I'm experienced with very high energy and strong dogs. I believe I can handle and provide the best care for your dog. I believe both my profession and personal experience with dogs and cats has helped me gain the skills necessary to work with almost any dog. I have some experience caring for a blind and diabetic dog and feel it would not be an issue to aid those dogs with special needs.

About: I have been watching dogs and cats since I was 15 years old! I have experience with many ages, breeds and sizes! I love making sure each pet I work with is treated as if they were my own pet. I have base access as well so if you are military and need assistance, I am here to help with your furry family members! I am currently working part time and on summer break from college! I work mornings so I am home in the afternoon and evenings. I have my own car for transportation. I like to ensure your pet has everything they need to be comfortable. I live in a walkable neighborhood so your dog will get plenty of walks! I like to prioritize keeping your pets routine as close as possible to what it is when with you to ensure your pet is as stress free as possible!

About: Aloha! I (Ari) adopted "Dogtor" Juju on the Big Island of Hawai'i when he was just 6 weeks old. Before moving back to Orange County (where I was born and raised), Juju eventually became famous on the Big Island for his incredible ability to invite even the most aggressive dogs to feel safe -- including known "killer" dogs, antisocial dogs who hadn't made a single friend in their entire lives, and older dogs with terminal illnesses who hadn't wagged their tails in months. For this valued skill, which makes communities safer and more joyful for all beings, he earned the nickname “the Killer Whisperer.” Play is so important for dogs, and is absolutely healing when it comes to building confidence and trust. Juju helps other dogs break their aggressive or antisocial patterns, and his methods are tailored to each dog’s unique temperament. A healing session might look like him just coexisting calmly in the same space with your dog without any of the habitual tension that may typically be experienced with other dogs. I’ve been told by hundreds of owners that Juju is the first friend their antisocial or aggressive dogs have ever had. Results will carry over to how your dog will interact with other dogs in the future, as they will now have experience with non-violent dog-to-dog interactions. Dogtor Juju is great with puppies, too -- with his sensitive approach tailored to each dog's temperament (he is great at reading body language cues), he models social etiquette and harmonious co-existing with other dogs and humans. Dogtor Juju facilitates group play as well between dogs who have never met before, de-escalating tension and creating an atmosphere where all dogs feel safe to connect non-violently. I have had dogs ever since I can remember, and began cat-sitting at 10 years old. I adopted an intuitive approach in training Juju, using primarily vocal commands to teach Juju recall skills and safe off-leash play. I am also a musician and have witnessed beautiful moments of de-escalation with aggressive dogs through playing my ukulele or singing (which breaks patterns of barking and sends soothing sound waves into situations of high tension). I’ve done a bunch of dog-sitting and walking jobs in Hawaii (outside of the Rover app), and I truly love getting to know each unique being I take care of, and creating rituals of familiarity with them (through providing structure and patterns of what to expect) so they feel safe to explore and play. If you're looking for a holistic pet care experience, you can count on me & Juju to bring a sense of playful joy and trust to your furry friend. We would be honored to provide your companion a transformative care experience that will build social confidence for years to come. Ari & Juju just moved to Orange County and currently have a wide-open schedule to take on new clients. We would love to develop a regular relationship with your pet. We are particularly interested in jobs that entail dog-walking, drop-in visits (especially if you have an outdoor area for the dogs to play/co-exist together), and house/dog-sitting. My care centers around creating patterns of familiarity with your dog, facilitated by Juju’s joy and sense of trust! We would be happy to take your furry friend out to parks and trails for on-leash outings (or off-leash play if you're comfortable in secure areas -- I look forward to understanding your preferences and desires!). Juju loves to walk on-leash with another dog. I am sensitive to the bonding and trust-building process, and I prioritize creating routines and rituals with new dogs to create a sense of stability while owners are away or traveling.

About: I have 2 years of experience working at a dog daycare - which provided care for elderly dogs, as well as big and small dogs. I am packpro training certified, which means I have training on subjects such as dog body language, dog handling, emergency situations and CPR. I also have my own pets - two cats and a Shiba Inu. They are my family, and I'd love to treat your pet like family too! I have had various pets since I was a kid! Rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, dogs - I have even taken care of horses. Animals are my passion! Aside from my dog daycare experience, I have personally pet sit and have done dog walking for my own customers too. I am available on most days, and I will typically offer to do meet and greet before we get started. Contact me and we can work something out for you and your pet! 🐕 🐶 I will send photo and video updates to you so you can be worry free about how your pet is doing. I'm comfortable with giving medication. Your dog can have an enjoyable stroll around the neighborhood, or we can play at a park!

About: Aloha! My name’s Mackenzie and I genuinely love animals. I worked at a humane society in California where I grew up, and I’ve cared for many dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve lived on Oʻahu for the past three years, and I have two cats of my own. I also grew up around dogs, cats, and other animals, so being around pets has always been a huge part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, supplements, walks, playtime, and more complicated care schedules. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention like they’re my own 🐾 I work in Waikīkī, so I’m available for drop-in visits before and after work and on my days off. For boarding, I’m typically away for about 6 hours during my shift. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care before I leave and as soon as I get home. I’m happy to be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule! I follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, and any instructions carefully. I’m also very communicative and like to ask questions and be thorough so I fully understand your pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and in your home, so I always try to be reliable, respectful, and communicative. I currently only offer boarding for cats. Visiting cats stay in their own private room, completely separate from my two resident cats, to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. For longer stays, if both cats seem interested and ONLY if the owner is comfortable with it, I may allow short, supervised play sessions to help with enrichment and socialization.

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: Ive taken care of dogs since I was 5! The photos on my profile are only some of the animals I’ve loved over the years. I’m knowledgeable, responsible, caring, thoughtful & will show your pet all the love! My schedule is completely open right now after traveling for the last few months & I don’t currently have any pets so I’d love to care for yours! I make sure that your pet is always in eyesight. I love animals so much & believe they deserve a lot of attention whether that’s playing with a toy together or just petting their head while they lay with or near me.
