“My family and I decided on a last minute trip and booked a house sitting gig with Diana. We have two dogs and a cat, and as a first time Rover user I was hesitant to have a stranger look after everything. I couldn’t be happier with who I found. She was incredibly kind and attentive to our fur babies’ needs every step of the way. You could tell she loves what she does. She even met us the day before to get acquainted with the animals and listen to me ramble about where she should start (I’m a bit of a control freak). To top it all off, she left the animals a care package! Diana is all aces!”
“Took wonderful care of my Shibas ! Will use leilani again next time we need a dog sitter!”
“Jack did great. Our dogs really loved him and we will definitely book again!”
“We would highly recommend Tessa! She was relaxed, competent, professional and took great care of our cats. She also left our home super clean. It feels good having someone we can trust with our animals when we are away :)”
About: It is a privilege to take care of your pets while their parents are away. I will love your pets and treat them as if they were part of my family. The love, time, and care your pet will receive will put your mind at ease and allow you to enjoy your time away. I am open to questions, so let me know if you would like to meet. Thanks! Why I love pet sitting I have loved animals ever since I was born. I have had my own dog for 13 years. Being in your home, I will follow any schedule you provide to keep your pets happy, healthy, safe and comfortable while staying on their schedule. As I stated above. My goal is to follow your wishes and desires for your pet. Their comfort and safety are my primary concern always.
“Right off the bat, we found that Kaleta is a such warm and friendly person! She’s also very reliable, trustworthy and it’s evident she gave a lot of loving care. I came home to a very happy kitty, along with a cleaner house than I left her with! I sincerely felt at peace the entire time I was gone. She’s a true gem, and Shambala and I are very blessed to have her in our life!”

“My 4 furry kids took to Sarah immediately! As an individual she is reliable, loving and kind and quick to learn the somewhat complicated matter with food allergies and feeding, medication and supplements. She also shared pictures on text.”
About: YOUR PAWS ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH US :) :) Solution oriented, highly experienced with canines, and have a heart for helping people, and caring for animals...look no further. My wife Susie & I are originally from Missouri, and are high school sweethearts. We have lived on Kauai for 9 years, and are passionate in every way about dogs! We owned & operated a very successful in-home dog boarding business in Homer, Alaska for 3 years, where we averaged 6 dogs per day, and had almost 30 dogs staying with us on major holidays in our large 3-story home on five acres. We offered board & train services there as well. Besides boarding experience with all ages, breeds, and personalities, we have experience with training, breeding, volunteer vet work, canine healthcare, and have also served as dog handlers for an Iditarod sled dog team. Boarding with us: We have a wonderful home at the base of sleeping giant in the Wailua Homesteads in Kapaa. If your dog loves hiking, we certainly can fulfill that desire! We have cool tile flooring, and air conditioning for those hot Summer days, so there are no overheating concerns in our home. We have dog beds, human beds, and couches- all of which dogs are welcome on (we allow dogs to sleep with us too). We have a large backyard, and an enclosed back deck. We do not isolate our guests- they have complete freedom inside our home. When we go on walks, hikes, or trips- we utilize a leash for safety. We are not your average Rover sitters. We have such a great deal of experience, we know canine behavior, how to identify & treat health issues, how to adapt to every unique dog and their needs, and we care about our human customers just as much- acknowledging your specific needs & requests is very important to us, and we always maintain excellent communication. We are accustomed to some dog parents being hesitant and reluctant to leave their loved ones for a time, and we offer our support, reassurance, and patience with customers during that time, wether it be answering numerous questions, an extended delay to leave at drop-off, or several calls/texts requesting photos/updates- we're here for you, and completely understand. Feel free to reach out to us as often as you'd like while your dog(s) are with us to request updates/pics, otherwise we typically give you your space. We can pick-up and/or deliver your dog(s) to ANY location you’d like, just let us know (additional charges apply). Always stay in good communication with us regarding drop-off & pick-up days & times. Never arrive unannounced…we need notice before you are coming over (this is our home- not a commercial boarding facility with staff). What to bring at drop-off: 1. Food- enough for the length of your dog's stay with us. Sealed containers with kibble are preferred. We do not store guest dog food in our fridge, so please bring appropriate food (no frozen, cooked, or raw foods that need stored in our fridge or freezer). 2. Collar (or harness) & leash. ***Dogs must be kept on leash during drop-off & pick-up*** Please do not let them exit your vehicle upon arrival unless they are leashed. Same goes for pick-up...keep them on lead from our door to your vehicle please. Dogs that we DO NOT accept into our home for boarding (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY): 1. Aggressive dogs (aggressive towards humans or other dogs) 2. Dogs that have fleas 3. Intact males 4. Intact females during their heat cycle 5. Dogs that have extreme separation anxiety 6. Dogs that have accidents inside or not fully potty-trained (or mark inside) 7. Excessive barkers 8. Escape artists 9. Dogs that are destructive when left home alone House sitting: We offer premium house sitting services island-wide. We do require to meet with you first at your property to make sure it's a good fit, as we are very selective on where we stay, and who we're working with for live-in house sitting jobs. We're experienced home owners ourselves. Besides estate caretakers, we have been entrusted with the care and management of farms- both vegetable & orchard farms, & also livestock farms. We have personally owned dairy cows ourselves, and also have experience caring for horses, llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats & chickens. We are excellent with property management! Between Susie & myself, we also have experience with carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, power washing, house cleaning using natural non-toxic cleaning products, landscaping/lawn care, & tree pruning/hazardous tree removal. We are very well connected here on Kauai, and anything we don't know or can't handle ourselves- we know someone who can. We are caretakers at heart, and caring for animals is what we do best. We are the trustworthy family you have been looking for! We LOVE our job! We do not isolate dogs (unless owner requests us to), or it is absolutely necessary (we usually don't accept dogs for most of the reasons they may need to be isolated anyways). We treat them like they are part of our family (and they truly are while with us). The way we care for dogs varies specifically on a case by case basis. No two dogs, or owners, are the same, so we go with the flow (and requests/requirements/best interests) of the dogs & their owners wishes.

“Hakan is a very genuine and caring person. He is extremely dependable and this is something to cherish in this day and age.

Gabrielle C.
“Exceptional Cat Sitting Service with a Bonus of Genuine Care for Dogs! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved cat to the care of an outstanding cat sitter, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of service provided. If you're in need of a reliable and compassionate animal caregiver, look no further! From the moment I contacted Gabrielle, I knew my furry friend would be in good hands. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident right from our initial conversation. She took the time to understand my cat's unique needs, habits, and preferences, ensuring a seamless transition while I was away for an extended period of time. Throughout my absence, Gabrielle went above and beyond to make sure my cat felt safe, comfortable, and loved. She followed the instructions I provided meticulously, ensuring that my cat's feeding schedule, litter box maintenance, and playtime routines were adhered to with utmost care. What truly impressed me about Gabrielle was her genuine affection for animals, which extended beyond her role as a cat sitter. I had the pleasure of meeting her own adorable dog, Daisy, and it was evident that she was not only a fantastic cat sitter but also a devoted and caring dog owner. This reassured me that my cat was in the hands of someone who truly understands and cherishes the well-being of animals. Furthermore, Gabrielle was incredibly reliable and communicative throughout the entire process. She provided regular updates, including photos and videos, which not only made my heart melt but also assured me that my furry companion was in good spirits. I can wholeheartedly recommend Gabrielle to anyone in need of an animal caregiver. Her dedication to the well-being and happiness of my cat was evident in every interaction. If you're searching for someone who will treat your beloved pet as if they were their own, do not hesitate to reach out to her. I am beyond grateful for the exceptional service she provided and will undoubtedly be returning to her in the future.”

“Jen took care of my two dogs while I had to go off island. They were walked regularly and well loved. She is a completely trustworthy lady that should be your first call. Ten stars!!”
maroesjka p.
“I've known Maroesjka for 16 years and have known her dogs. The loving care she gives to them is superior. She always wants to make sure they get out and exercise every day. She was the first person I knew who even had pet insurance for her dog dogs. I thought that was a bit much but on second thought "Wow, this person really cares for her pets". Having her dogs at the local dog park daily she appreciates the dogs need to socialize and play with other dogs. Please know that your dogs will be in loving, caring hands with Maroesjka.”
Kerin G.
“Kerin truly loves dogs. I put her in charge of a dog for a half of a day and when she is watching dogs, she is reliable to walk it feed it love it and do whatever the dog needs. She loves dogs a lot. Perhaps this is sustainable because she doesn't have a dog herself. She will take great care of any pup out there and would strongly recommend her.”

Abby was communicative over text when planning dates, and took good care of our dogs when we were gone for a week. She sent daily photos of them, too! Will definitely use her again in the future!
Abby was amazing. It was our first week away from our pets and we used Rover for the first time. Abby took perfect care of our dog and cats who are spoiled and need extensive pampering. Our house was pristine and clean when we arrived home. We could not have enjoyed our week off without Abby’s hard work and attention to detail. We will DEFINITELY be booking Abby again for our future travels. I could not recommend her highly enough and anyone who uses her to watch their pets and house are really lucky. She is FANTASTIC. Thank you so much Abby!
