“Rayder had the active fun day! He got to explore the mini farm and have other doggy playmates to fill his visit. he had so much fun that it took him a full two days to recover 🤣 such a loving and fulfilled home to leave your pups”

“We are so grateful to have found Amber, Abe, and Einstein!! They sent us pictures and videos throughout Willa’s stay while we were out of town. It was so comforting to know that she was being cared for and loved by them. She had plenty of lap time, potty breaks, rest time and lizard hunting! We couldn’t imagine better pet sitters than these guys!!”

“This is our first time using Rover and the system works. Shanelle took care of our dog and kept us appraised by sending us pictures and brief description of how/what he’s doing. It was also during the storm and she brought comfort and allayed our worries because of her communication. We are extremely happy to have someone like Shanelle who loves dogs, very communicative, and really took care of our dog, Cheddar!”


“Randi was very delightful and attentive to our 4.5 month old Pug. It was last minute over the July 4th weekend and she gladly welcomed our “Gus” to her beautiful home. She kept us posted with pictures, posts and videos to let us know how much fun he was having at camp! We will certainly use her again in the future.”

“Carrie & Jonathan take care of her and updated me. Carrie was very flexible and willing to accept her my request when my plans was changed. I appreciate it your willingness, and I am grateful for your support and care of my dog.”
“Sachi had a wonderful stay with Casey. Casey is an excellent dog sitter and I would highly recommend him. Shortly after our “meet and greet” visit, we returned Sachi for an overnight stay and as soon as we parked the car Sachi could hardly wait to run to Casey’s front door! Thank you, Casey, for taking good care of Sachi.”

“We had a great experience leaving our sweet 1 year old pup for 5 days in the caring hands of Madison and Dylan. Madison kept me updated and sent pictures and our girl was really enjoying herself, even though she usually is clingy with us. We're very happy with our experience. Thanks again Madison and Dylan!!”

“My little dog, Buddy, had a marvelous time with Leah. Leah provided great communication and kept me updated while I was traveling. Buddy made a new friend in Marley. We would absolutely use Leah again!”

“Michele & Brian took such wonderful care of our 1.5yr old Kruz, and we’re truly so grateful! He’s a high-energy pup and can definitely be a handful, especially in a new environment with new people and dogs but they handled him with so much patience, structure, and care. They have a beautiful & fenced property — kept him active with daily walks and dog park visits (which he absolutely loved!) and even worked on some training. It was so reassuring to know he was not only being cared for, but also engaged and learning. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We truly appreciate the time, attention, and extra effort they put into caring for him. Thank you both again for keeping up with our energetic boy - you’re amazing ⭐️🤗”

“Beau's first overnight with Nicole and I know he had an amazing visit. Nicole took the time to meet Beau before our visit and introduced us to her beautiful puppy, Delilah. Communication during the stay was great, we couldn't be happier. Thanks, Nicole and Delilah!”

“Bridget did such a wonderful job with my 4 month old puppy. She has a nice, big , safe yard for the dogs to play in. Bridget sent me multiple photos throughout the day. She really seems to love dogs! Her husband, Tiger, was also really good with my pup when Bridget had to go to an appointment. My puppy loves children and her daughters were so sweet with Coco . I highly recommend and look forward to using this wonderful family again.”

“Thank you Jurassic Bark BNB! For accommodating our last minute booking. Kea our pup really enjoyed herself on your beautiful, well maintained and spacious property. You guys were so welcoming and friendly. Thank you for the peace of mind you provided us when we were thinking of her. We highly recommend their services. Your pet will truly enjoy themselves. Again, thank you Jurassic Bark BNB!”

About: I have a husky mix Kea and we are super active! Daily walks and animal care is in my daily routine. I have been doing rover for a long time now. Apart from dogs, I worked/lived at a cat sanctuary in Haiku that had over 200+ cats as well as chickens and cows. My job consisted of feeding, giving medicine/attention, and cleaning after them everyday. I take care of my husky mix Kea everyday! I work from home m-f and have lots of free time. I love to take care of all kinds of animals. I am looking for some extra jobs on the island! I would make sure I am aware of the clients needs and expectations when being in their home. I will be aware of any precautions and contact the owner with any issues. I will take care of the animals with anything that is needed (walking/feeding/put into crate/attention), I am a quick learner and am open to any specific jobs.

“Madilyn was great! She really connected with our dog well. Her dog and our dog were like twin new best-buddies. But she gave us lots of flexibility, whether ours would stay with her by himself or if her dog would be there. It was perfect. Will definitely use her again. Mahalo.”

About: I have extensive experience in dog training and care as my Dad’s business was in rehabilitation, training and boarding for dogs. I worked as an employee for 5 years and also had opportunities to help train and care for the dogs from 12 years old. I love learning more every time I interact with a new dog. I am skilled at training dogs to get over leash aggression and constant pulling. I have worked with many different breeds of dogs and have learned a lot about how this can alter their specific needs. I have a part time job where I’m busy on Wednesdays and Fridays. Otherwise I am available to enjoy time with your doggo all day. I live on a large property with lots of fun things to smell and explore! It isn’t fenced, I intend to keep your dog close with a leash unless you feel they aren’t likely to try and run away.
“Farah was great! My dog, Cali got to run around Farah’s big outdoor area with her friendly dog, Hoagie. Farah sent me update pics and was responsive to my last minute requests. I would definitely use her again for any dog sitting needs.”

“Gio did an amazing job taking care of my 8-month-old puppy, Mariko. She was great about sending me photos and videos of Mariko playing with her dog, Miki, and getting plenty of exercise. I really appreciated how attentive she was—when a problem came up with Mariko’s eyes, Gio was very prompt in letting me know and worked with me to figure out the best solution. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Mariko was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using Gio’s dog-sitting services again the next time I need to travel off island!”

“Diann watched our 9 month Pomeranian, Nalu, for 11 days and Nalu came back so happy, healthy and trained in new ways! Diann was communicative and kind. Her passion is animals and it really shows. We will definitely turn to Diann anytime we need a sitter again. Thank you so much!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover since my first puppy, Zeus. I had him and grew up with him for ten years of my life and now I am blessed with another puppy, Koda. I’ve always had a soft spot for dogs and show the most attentive care for them. Especially because my Koda has seizures, I’m always home and around. And our loving little town has an amazing dog park for outdoor time. Everyday, koda and I begin our morning with a walk then breakfast. I am always home so he’s glued to my side during the day. We do our thing around the house or on sunny days we head out to the dog park. Afterwards it’s back home and dinner time. I have my fur baby so your loved one will never be alone. I allow pets on furniture and to freely Rome the house. Any outdoor time would be walks around the neighborhood or to the dog park.
“Best dog sitter ever!!! I have rarely traveled without missing my dog Bobbert, but with all the updates Daria sent, and how genuinely happy and loved I saw Bobbert, I can say I was able to go on my 2-week vacation worry free :) I saw how much love and attention she gave Bobbert. Cannot recommend enough her enough🙏🏽🤍”

We are so grateful we found Nicole! Our usual sitter canceled right before a trip, and with our senior dog being such an important part of our family, we were nervous about leaving him with someone we didn’t know. From the start, Nicole was responsive, kind, and reassuring. She kept us updated with messages and photos, took him on hikes, and treated him with so much care and attention. It was clear he was happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us complete peace of mind and allowed our family to truly enjoy our vacation. We would highly recommend Nicole and would happily trust her with our dog again in the future.
