House Sitting in Kekaha

“Leilani did excellent, the dogs and cats were well taken care of. She followed our written instructions and was great at keeping us updated on how things were going. The home was taken care of very well and we will definitely book her again in the future.”

David K.

“I could write a novel about how amazing she is. But I'll keep it short. Daily updates, and I know my babies were loved and snuggled the way their parents do. So happy to know I now have someone that will take care of them whenever they have to stay home while we leave ♡♡♡”

About: As of May 2025, I relocated from Santa Fe New Mexico to the island of Kauai. House and pet sitting provides a fabulous opportunity to get the know the island and her people in a unique way! While living in Santa Fe over the past year, I have been housesitting for friends and clients who frequently travel to Europe on extended visits. Each time they returned from their journey's, they found their homes well maintained, tidy and organized. My experience with animals primarily comes from my ownership of 9 dogs spanning over three decades. I also briefly owned a bird while in college and grew up with 4 feline friends as a child. Each one of these precious animals holds a special place in my heart. Since I currently do not own any pets, I cherish the company and companionship of others' pets. I've had successful vegetable and flower gardens in my backyard in the past and would enjoy watering and caring for your garden as well as any other duties, like bringing in the mail, taking out the trash and of course, cleaning up when my visit is concluded. I am a solo traveler and would welcome the opportunity to sit your home and pets while acclimating to life on Kauai-offering you peace of mind with a responsible and mature sitter. I am a former teacher which will offer plenty of flexibility in my schedule for walks and care of your pets as well as looking after the property. I will do everything I can to make sure your beloved pets receive the best care while you are away from home! Understanding your specific needs for your home and/or pet, I will carry out all instructions, keeping the routine of your home/pet(s) in sync with what is the norm. All exercise needed, play-time, meal times and any other specific requests for the home that we agree on will be carried out. I have been praised for leaving homes tidy and clean.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10. My families, friends and neighbors always relay on me for walk, feed and bath them I have very flexible schedule and I’m free mostly morning and afternoon. I like to spend my time outdoor at the beach and nature which dogs mostly love it too I always follow parent’s instructions to make sure their dogs will be safe and take them to safe environment that I know or recommended by them

About: Apart from having my own 4 year old Shiba (Kuma), I’ve grown up around tons of dogs. My mom has a german shepherd and a black lab! I used to volunteer at the Humane Society when I was in high school and I even got to foster my own! With having Kuma, my roommate has two cats that i’m absolutely in love with! As a college student, i’m majoring in Biology and i love learning about animals. I can’t wait to meet your dog! Since i’m in college, I have a pretty set schedule as of right now. I’m available all day on the weekends (including friday) and monday and wednesday after 5pm. On tuesdays and thursdays, i’m off around 7pm. Hopefully this isn’t confusing but i’m available most of the days, and all of the days in the evening. I think it’s very important for a dog to get their sunlight and exercise in so i’m happy to take them to a park or walk around the block or even just play with them in the backyard/home! I’m pretty good with routines and pick up on things quickly. I’m good with cleaning up after your pet, whether it’s their poop/pee of just making a mess. Whatever you need me to do, i’m glad to do it!

“We found Kaleta on Rover as first-time users and couldn’t have had a better experience. She was responsive from our initial contact and quickly arranged a meet-and-greet. Both we and our dog, Lolly, felt comfortable with her right away. Kaleta stayed with Lolly for a week and kept us at ease by sending regular updates and photos. She took Lolly on lots of adventures and clearly treated her with genuine care and affection. When we returned home, our house was clean and Lolly was happy and relaxed. We would absolutely feel confident booking Kaleta again and are so glad we found her.”

About: Dogs have been in my family my whole life and I was a dog mom for at least 20 years. I know firsthand how our furry BFF’s are FAMILY and how important it is to have trustworthy and reliable care for them when we have to be away. I travel a lot, and by far, pet care was always the #1 stressor in planning and being away! My sweet guy was quirky and anxious, and towards the end he had a lot of special care needs. I always worried about if he was getting all his needs met or if maybe he was too much for others to deal with compassionately. Our sitter was a genuinely great guy who loved our sweet boy so much, so I knew and trusted he was fine but I still went through these feelings every time! So now, as a sitter myself, I can promise you that I will care for you sweet boy or girl as if they were my own family because that’s what I loved in my own sitter! My place is only about 10 minutes away from the airport, so it’s very convenient for quick drop-off and pick-up on your way if you’re traveling. I work FT from home M-F so there’s time for a walk before and/or after work, and then I am available for frequent potty breaks throughout the day as needed I have a well fenced in yard and we are two doors down from a park. The park is tucked away in our community so there’s not much traffic and it’s very safe. We don’t usually see other dogs there, but plenty of chickens. I’m sorry, but my yard does not have a sheltered space so I can’t host outdoor pets. I can only host pets who are full-time indoor pets and fully house trained. I do have most basic pet supplies (bowls, leashes, crate for den style napping and an elevated bed, etc.)

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve cared for pets all my life—each with their own quirks, rhythms, and personalities—and I understand how deeply they become part of the family. When I care for someone’s animals, I treat them with the same love, gentleness, and attention I’d give my own. I work online while building my business, which gives me the freedom to be present with your pets throughout the day. Whether that means keeping them company while I work, going for long walks, or creating a calm, cozy space while you’re away, I’m there to make sure they feel loved and secure. I’m responsible, respectful, and genuinely enjoy forming bonds with the animals I care for. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your home just as you left it, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing everything is handled with care. At the heart of it all, my goal is simple: happy pets, peaceful homes, and your peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working on building an online business. I mainly work from home, which allows me a lot of time to spend with furry friends. I am happy to learn the ins and outs of how you and your pet’s preferences. My staying in your home is all about keeping the routine as much as possible. I have spent over 12 years online working as a private chef and cared for every home I have worked in and treated the being in someone’s intimate space with respect.

“Trinity was an absolute gem! I came home from my trip to 3 happy pups, and she constantly sent pictures and kept me in the loop with texts while I was away. She was also very flexible to be able to accommodate my fur babies, which I greatly appreciated being a holiday, last minute booking! I hope to book with Trinity again!”

About: Thank you for looking at my profile. I looooove pets and it is my joy to assist your pet needs. I offer walking, hiking and exercising options, pet/house sitting, and house visits. I work online and am able to adjust my hours around to accommodate your needs. I love getting outside with the pets consistently or just loving them up. It’s a mutually beneficial service. It brings my heart joy. I have a consultation with each client on what the pets needs are and adjust as needed. I offer a kind, and joyful space and company for your loved one.

About: I've been taking care of pets for 13 years. I used to do full time, now that I work from home I can again. Patient, loving and kind to all animals. Very comfortable with big dogs, older pets and puppies I work from home and will watch your pet all day. They will never be left alone for more than 1 hour at a time I provide near constant care at my home in Kalaheo. They will have access to all parts of the house. I have a small Cavalier that can be around your pet or kept separated. I care for all pets like they're my own.

About: As a dog mom myself, my biggest issue was finding affordable & reliable care for my fur babies while im away from home… So it’s been my goal since October 2023 was to provide that service for other dog pawrents here on Kaua’i. I was previously raising Retrievers before I started pet sitting. But now dog sit full time, 7 days a week. I’m available about 300 days of the year. However I do book up very fast during Spring, Summer, Fall, & Winter break. So please reach out in advance. I will try my best to accommodate anyone. I’m located 8 minutes from the airport in a quiet, and safe neighborhood. I have a 6’ high vinyl fence surrounding my yard, & gates that are locked at all times. I’m able to take any pups AFTER 8AM, So please book the day prior if you’re needed services earlier than that. Each day I’m busy with atleast 1 to 5 dogs per day. Which vary between daycare pups & overnight boarding pups. Most of the dogs who come here are all weekly daycare dogs, repeat boarding dogs, or are monthly visitors. I care for my daycare and boarding pups in a pack environment. Where everyone interacts with each other based on activity levels or size. But if I feel your pup isn’t good with certain pups, that is fine as well and he/she will be able to stay separated. They’re able to roam free all day, except when I have to leave the house for an errand or go to bed. That’s when each dog needs to be in a secured place.. either crated on the patio or inside the house in the kitchen. Our daily schedule starts at 6:30am. The dogs are let out of their crates/the kitchen to go potty in the fenced yard. Then I’ll normally let them roam around for an hour or two till I prep their breakfast (just for the ones who eat twice). Then the dogs go back into their crates to rest their stomachs for 1 hour. During the day the dogs can interact and play with each other, rest on the patio, under the gazebo, or sunbathe in the yard. The dogs have free roam of the yard all day, except if I have to run an errand or when I go to bed around 11pm. That’s when they will be put into their individual crates/pens. I’m all about safety, & cleanliness. The gates are always locked for your pups safety, the yard is sanitized atleast 2x a day, and I always have an eye on the pups.

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: 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!

“Jack did great. Our dogs really loved him and we will definitely book again!”

About: I grew up in Connecticut with my best friend and golden retriever, Ginger, who I took care of for 13 years, taking her on walks, feeding her, brushing her, and giving her so much love and affection! I have 6+ years of professional paid dog-sitting experience during my time in CT, as well as 2+ years of home pet-boarding and sitting services while I was a student at Chapman University in Orange, CA. I have professional experience with dogs of all kinds, cats, turtles, and hamsters! I love dog-walking, music, going to the beach, spending time outside in the sunshine, cooking/baking, art, gardening, writing, and reading! In my daily life, I work as a Creative Producer. Photography/videography is a large passion of mine, and I love to create. I will take the best care (and pictures) of your pets! :) The most important thing to know is that I'm trustworthy. My years of experience and genuine love for all animals is why I understand finding good pet care is hard and is important for everyone. I worried about my dog boarding when I went on travels and being able to find someone trustworthy to take care of her. Your furry friends will be safe in my care and I'd be happy to answer any safety questions and concerns.

“Lindsay is amazing! Can't say enough. She takes amazing care of my puppy Daisy, is really responsive and easy to work with. She has also taken amazing care of my rental while I am here on a longer stay. Very responsible and trustworthy...and super thoughtful/sweet.”

“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. ”

“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!”
