Courtney was amazing! We left our dachshund for the first time since moving to Kauai and I was a mess (he’s our furbaby), but Courtney made me feel so comfortable the entire weekend! She was super attentive and sent me multiple pictures every day. I know she gave him lots of love and attention and he was exhausted when we picked him up. I’m so happy to have found an incredible sitter to leave our baby with on the island!

Jacy was awesome. I had an emergency situation and needed to find someone to take care of my dog on very short notice, and Jacy responded to my inquiry fast and took my dog in. She took very good care of my boy and she even gave him a bath on his last day; which I think is definitely going above and beyond. Mahalo nui.

Sherry really went above and beyond to take care of my fear-reactive and anxious dachshund. I received updates daily that reassured me she was taking extra care to care for him and his special needs. I look forward to my Bob spending time with her again, if we are in need!

Great experience for our doggies! From our first contact until picking them up Dani was professional and an expert dog wrangler. She took extra time and communicated all along the way. Highly recommend and made our trip even better knowing the fur babies were under her care!!!!

Due to a last-minute family trip, I was looking for a pet sitter for my dog, Lottie. I messaged Diana, and she accepted my request immediately. I liked how she set up a meet and greet to get to know my dog and let Lottie feel comfortable in their place. I was nervous leaving Lottie for the first time, but Diana sent me pictures of Lottie every day during their walks, playing or hanging out inside the house with the other fur babies. Diana also updates me with other stuff regarding Lottie. It made me feel less anxious knowing that she took care of Lottie well when we were away.

Eric's family had a lot of dogs in their care this weekend but seemed to have it all very much in hand. They have a great setup at their house with large play areas, everything looked clean, and all the dogs looked happy. Our dog had a great time hanging out there!

Lori and her husband Scott took good care of my dog, so I didn’t have to feel worried about his welfare while I was traveling. Lori regularly sent photos and updates of my furry friend, which was much appreciated! I recommend Lori as a caring and nurturing dog sitter, with Aloha!

Christophe and his partner were wonderful with my puppy, Miya! They went above and beyond — taking her on regular walks, cooking meals for her and making sure she felt completely at home. I also received updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Miya wasn’t just being watched — she was being loved and treated like part of their family. Miya came back happy, relaxed, and clearly loved. I’m so thankful for their warm, thoughtful care and wouldn’t hesitate to book them again!

Christina and her family were wonderful. Jessa seemed to have had a great time with them, as evidenced by the fact that she slept for hours after I picked her up. Good communication. I would def have them sit again if I come back through this area.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. We have a playful 1.5-year-old dog who loves small & medium dogs. Your pup or cat will feel safe, loved, and right at home with us—plenty of playtime, cuddles, and care included! My daughter is a veterinarian, which I love sharing as it is telling of the pet home she grew up in and our passion for cats and dogs as a family. We care for our animals as if there our children and your pet will become our bonus child. We have used Rover for our dog, and have had the best experience and in hoping that our dog can have a playmate from time to time, I created my own profile to help those looking for a safe & loving sitter, as we know it's difficult on Kauai sometimes. I am self-employed and work minutes away on Mondays-Thursdays and I am Home all day Friday -Sundays. When I do work in my office, I come home daily for lunch, so if I have your fur baby on those days, they will get playtime, love, and attention throughout the day. Our puppy, 1 1/2 is spayed and a loving sweet dog. She gets along with both cats and dogs and does not have an aggressive bone in her body. We have a fenced yard that my fur baby and yours can play in, and are located right by the bike path and can take our dogs on walks. We also have an extra crate if needed. Our dogs and cats are treated like family members in our home.

About: Hi! My name is Jordyn, and I’m a first-year nursing student at the University of Portland. I’m originally from Hawaii, which is where all my pets are (I can’t bring them with me since i’m living in a dorm). Some things I love doing for fun are going to the beach, hiking, or shelling, I love being in the outdoors and so does my dog so he loves adventures too. I grew up with dogs, and I recently added a sweet little bunny named Potatoe to my family. I also have experience caring for farm animals like ducks and chickens, so caring for pets of all kinds is second nature to me. If you’re skeptical i’d love to do a planned facetime or meet and greet in person please just let me know! I’m also a nanny/babysitter on Urbansitters/Sitterscity, so also let me know if you’re interested in that. I’ve had dogs my entire life and spent this past summer dog-sitting, gaining plenty of hands-on experience. On top of that, I’ve cared for the pets of family and friends for years, so I understand how important it is to keep your pets happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just sticking to your pet’s routine, I’ll give them the same love and attention I give my own. My rates accurately reflect the care and work that I always put forward! However I completely understand if that doesn’t work for you. Thank you! More specifics on availability: monday: 3-5pm tuesday: 1-630pm wednesday: 3-10pm thursday: 1-10pm friday: 3-10 saturday&sunday: free! Pet care fits seamlessly into my week! Weekends are completely open, so I can give your dogs my undivided attention for walks, playtime, and cuddles. However weekdays, as long as it works with my class schedule i’d be more than happy to do whatever tasks you need. Safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities! Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I always ensure a secure and stress-free experience.

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!

About: I can be available for walks whenever needed, I understand weird work schedules and I can work around your schedule. I'll be home full-time while I'm watching your dog. As long as you are ok with it too on nice days I'd love to take the dogs out hiking or to the local park. On colder days we can stay in and play fetch or squeaky toy :) I live in a dog friendly apartment. I don't have a yard but I can take dogs out as often as needed or wanted .

About: I've been taking care of animals all my life and couldn't imagine my life without their companionship. I love all animals and respect their boundaries. Over the past 39 years I've had 7 Basset Hounds and each one has had their own unique personality. For 20-years I volunteered for Basset Hound Rescue of Southern California as a supporter, transporter, foster, home inspector, and fur-ever home for ones that couldn't be re-homed. My experience ranges from newborn to an animal's final moments before crossing the rainbow bridge. I understand the patience and compassion needed for senior animals and animals with special needs. My husband and I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I do prefer advance notice so I can plan around my two dogs. Please provide clear instructions on your animal's routine and needs. My top priority is to provide the type of love and care your animal needs in order for them to have a stress free experience.

We are so lucky to have found and booked with Courtney! Her genuine passion for caring for your dog is so clear from the get-go. Courtney was communicative from the beginning - helping us to solve a minor scheduling mishap and continued to be so while we were away. We got update texts and the cutest photos of our guy regularly. I really enjoy the way her calm and loving demeanor puts both us and our dog at ease. I also appreciate that Courtney treated our dog as a member of her family while he was staying with her, because that’s exactly what he is to us! While this was our first booking with her - it most certainly won’t be the last! Mahalo again Courtney! With love: Gabe, Talia, and Tui 🐾

Courtney was the first person we used on Rover and couldn’t be happier with our choice! She is the kindest dog whisperer and answered my many questions I had before dropping our baby off. She sent daily updates with pictures and continued to assure me he was doing good 🐾 we will definitely be using her again in the near future!
