About: I have been a dog mom for 25years, loved and cared for many dogs from training puppies to senior dogs life. I am comfortable bathing and slight grooming, providing medications if needed, I love long walks and hikes. I'm responsable,dependable,and attention to details. I'll treat your dog like they're part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is well cared and loved. I am currently a self employed housekeeper and empty nester, my two daughters are away in college so my schedule is flexible for daily drop ins to over night care. I would love to take care of your pet at your home in the pets own comfort zone. I am available to take pets out on field trips (hikes, beach walks, or path walks.) I am unable to take care of pets at my house due to I do not have a fenced in yard and it would not be safe.

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.

About: I grew up surrounded by pets. I have formed a special connection with animals over these years and my only problem will be saying goodbye to your pet when it's time for me to go home. I'm responsible, dependable and can adapt to the needs of any pet! I have a very flexible schedule and can leave work at any time! Just tell me how often your pet needs me and I'll be there! I start by building trust with your pet. Once I feel I've created a bond with your pet I gauge whether it's time to play, go on a walk or get them a form of exercise. When I'm home with your pet I make sure to keep the energy relaxed and positive.

“Thank you Cristina for taking care of our babies over the weekend! I was very nervous leaving my pets with someone they were not familiar with but she put me at ease! Cristina communicated with me everyday, sending me videos and updates. I would highly recommend her! Thank you Cristina!”

“Once again Diana knocked it out of the park staying at our home with our fur babies. I tend to ask for too much (like watering my plants while I’m away) and she took care of everything. Just effortless kindness and grace. I 1000% recommend her services and will definitely rebook! Love you girl!”

“We went all the way to the east coast, for a week, and we were so grateful Kaleta could watch our senior dog. She kept us updated with photos and texts and the house was clean when we got home. Definitely will be booking her again for a future trip. Seamus loves his Auntie Kaleta!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my 9-year-old golden doodle, Reggie, while I was abroad for two weeks. Alex treated Reggie as if he were his own, giving me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. He sent frequent updates and adorable pictures, which really made me feel connected even from far away. On top of that, Alex went above and beyond by providing Reggie with homemade food, regular showers, and fun-filled park days. Reggie was clearly well cared for and comfortable, thanks to Alex’s thoughtful attention. I highly recommend Alex for any pet-sitting needs!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11. I love to take them on long walks, trips to the park, and out for a “pup-cup”. Recently my 14 year old golden retriever passed away, so I’m hoping to share my love with others’ pets that are in need of care! I’m currently working remotely full-time so would plan to work from your home while I’m watching your furry ones. This is an ideal solution as your pet is guaranteed focused attention and multiple bathroom breaks or walks per day. I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I love to make sure their needs are met & exceeded, plenty of pets/love are given, and that we send picture updates while you’re away! I am quiet & respectful and love to keep spaces clean, so I will treat your home as my own.

“Our pup adores Greg, and so do we! Greg kept our sweet pup exercised, rested, fed, happy, entertained and safe while we were on our first trip away from our little guy. We felt so happy knowing Mookie was in Greg’s capable hands. Would recommend Greg to anyone, and can’t wait to have him with our sweet pup again soon. Thanks, Greg!”
