House Sitting in Kapaa

“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!”

“Lauryn stayed at our place to take care of our Lab. Lauryn did a great job walking and caring for our pup, and the house was clean when I arrived and our dog was happy. Highly recommend! .”

“Simply put, Nicole was wonderful! She came out the day before we left to learn everything and she did a marvelous job! She sent photos of our girls throughout the day and checked in with us when needed. We had no worries leaving her with our pets and home (she did in-home boarding for us). We highly recommend her and we will definitely use her again when we head out of town!”

About: Dogs are our babies! They need so much love and attention. I absolutely love dogs, but in my current situation, I am not allowed to have one, so im hoping to live out my love for them through doing this. I have 2 kiddos, and would love to go on daily walks and the park often! I am working part time, but super flexible to hopefully fit your needs. I can do overnight especially for kittens and puppies! Otherwise I tend to be available all day Wednesday Thursday Saturday and Sunday. For house sitting, I would love to be able to bring my two kiddos with me if on the weekdays. I have a small apartment, so i am only able to care for small animals. I do have 2 kiddos and 2 cats who keep to themselves, but i do have a separate room I can set up if your pet needs their own space! If you have a dog I can watch for the day, we will most likely be outdoors at the park or out for a walk! If your pet had special needs, just let me know what they need and I got it! I understand trusting your fur babies with a stranger is a scary thing, i am more than happy to send pictures and updates if desired!

“Cheryl was great with our 5 year Aussie Cattle! They went on a hike and splashed around in a creek. Great with communication! Would definitely recommend her and book her next time we're in Jackson! Thanks Cheryl”

About: I was adopted when I was 2 years old & adoption also extended to several of the pets we took in over the years as well! Dogs, cats, birds, hamsters… i can’t say there was ever a limit. We had 10 cats at one point, thanks to the contribution of a female kitty who followed me home one day & was pregnant not long after we took her in. I even raised 4 pigs in high school! Horses run 3 generations through the women in my family & the goal is to one day have my own ranch to rescue & raise my own animal family! I have a knack for creating calm for even the most active animals! Many tend to relax the more time they spend with me. Cars & dogs alike will gravitate toward spending time with me wherever I am & that includes joining me in bed at night. Schedules are important. Routines are important. I work from home ie my laptop & phone. An ideal fit for my current schedule are home stays, ie house sitting that also involves caring for pets. A written AM/PM routine that outlines feeding, walks, etc is ideal. I do not drink, smoke, do drugs or party. You can trust & rely on me to protect not only the wellbeing of your pets, but also, caring for your home as if it was my own.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind from dogs and cats to fish since I was 10. Friend, family and neighbors have trusted me to pet sit/house sit for them many times. I am honest, reliable, caring, and attentive. I have raised and taken care of dogs all my life and treat them with great care. I work part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your fur baby! I am available all through the week. I am self-employed so my schedule is flexible! I have a friendly pup that loves to play. He’s great with other dogs and cats, and has a mellow demeanor. I can take your dog for walks runs, or to the local dog park where our pups can play together!

About: I focus on providing specialized care that goes beyond just the basics, ensuring every pet feels safe and understood in their own environment. Whether it is patiently playing with energetic puppies or providing the gentle, attentive senior care and medication management older pets require, I tailor my approach to their specific life stage and needs. am a highly reliable caregiver, dedicated to seamlessly integrating your dog’s unique schedule and specific requirements into my daily routine within your own home. I provide dedicated, personalized care for your dog directly within the comfort of your home, ensuring they remain in a familiar and stress-free environment. Regardless of your specific requirements or your pet's unique routine, I am fully committed to following your instructions to the letter; please note that I do not offer boarding services in my own home.

“Sarah was awesome. Our pups had a great time with her and we will definitely have her come back!”

“Jules does a fantastic job of taking are of our two pups AND our house. Our 2 mini-schnauzers are a bit demanding and they absolutely LOVE Jules. We’ve hired Jules twice now and would absolutely use them again.”

About: I grew up with dogs and love all breeds. I spent my youth volunteering at a doggy day care and always loved the movie "Best in Show". I've researched and spent time with many diverse breeds with a unique understanding of their various temperaments and requirements. I have training skills and patience to give your pal the attention and love they deserve while you're away. I currently work part-time remotely on my own business as an astrologer. I am able to be very present and attentive while in your home. I make sure to learn all you and your pet's preferences for expectations (like if they are allowed on furniture, or how they are with other dog's / social time). I provide daily check ins so you have peace of mind that all is well.

“Keira did a great job watching my pup! I was away for a week and a half, and she gave me regular updates, sent pictures, and took Sadie on walks and to play in the dog run. My house was clean when I got back! I will have her dog sit again ?”

“Holly was outstanding! What a relief to find such a kind, loving pet sitter! Holly stayed in our home so our dog and cat could live their normal routines without a care in the world. Thank you, Holly. ”

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.

“Lily was absolutely wonderful! This was our first experience using Rover and thanks to her it will not be our last. She took such great care of our two pups and kept us updated throughout the weekend. She is trustworthy, reliable, and responsible - we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
