House Sitting in Lawai

About: Raised Pomeranians at Age 10. Worked in a Pet-Boarding Facility. As a single mom, I'm able to roll with the punches and adapt to situations quickly, whether it's a child or furry friend! Currently working in the Nursing Industry, but looking at a potential career pivot into something that is outside of Nursing, and involves my favorite animal, Dogs! Over the years, I have house/pet sat for friends and acquaintances. It's my honor to help not only the people I know, but their four legged family members too!

“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!”

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: 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.

“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.”

“Corrine took great care of Monte and kept me updated and feeling confident with her in charge. She left my home clean and was great to work with.”

Josh S.

“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!”

Kimberli B.

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

About: I’ve grown up with cats, dogs, birds & horses. Otherwise from neighbors or other house sitting jobs, I’ve been also had experience around llamas, pigs & goats. I’m very comfortable around animals but really love being able to take a dog on a nice long hike I currently work part time in the mornings at a coffee shop so I’ll have plenty of time during the week and weekends to spend playing and hopefully hiking with your pup I am open to staying the night at someone’s home so your pet continues to be comfortable with being in their own space. I have previously brought dogs to my home during the day and outings

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!

“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: 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: 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!

“Lauren was amazing! She was able to help us out very last minute. Took the time out of her day to chat with us beforehand and we immediately felt comfortable with her for our little guys! She stayed in good contact and updated us with daily photos. Our home was left clean and the boys were very happy! 🐾🩶🤎”

“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. ”

“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!”
