“Kiaya took great care of our cat, Merlin. We have specific instructions about coming and going from our house (to keep him from escaping) and Kiaya was super respectful and attentive to them, and played/snuggled well with him every day, which is huge for us. Felt very comforted & comfortable having her take care of our little guy while we were away!”

I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets my whole life but am new to rover and trying to build this profile so thanks for stopping by! I have a spaniel mix pup named Zephyr, I love animals and the healing energies they bring in their personalities and just love how funny they are. Getting a dog has been one of the most healing things in my life, he is literally my best friend, baby and side kick and I understand finding someone who will take the upmost care for your pet is a crucial decision. Especially if they come with baggage or little quirks (Zephyr is a rescue) or they need extra care like medication, etc. I will take care of your pets like they’re my own—feeding, walking, playing, following any other additional instructions and giving them lots of love to feel safe and happy 🤍 *If looking to board, please keep in mind I have my own dog here at home and can only board dogs that are friendly with other dogs, I won’t be able to board big dogs as I have a small space as well I work from home with flexible hours and make my own schedule so I can cater to all your needs for your pet and their schedule Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow instructions closely, keep a clean and calm environment, and make sure your pet feels secure and loved at all times.

“We love Christie! She came as agreed, texted me while at my house with a report on my pups, and sent pics. My pups were so happy! It is a huge relief when I am at work to know that Christie is visiting my babies. ”
About: Aloha :) My dogs and I would love to have your dog stay at our house in Olinda! We have a fenced yard and a few (partially fenced) acres of land beyond that for the pups to play and fetch the ball (depending on your comfort level with that, of course). Delilah is a sweet 4 year old golden retriever who loves equally to play and chill. Bear is a 2 year old golden Aussie who *always* loves to play and love on other pups! We live 10 minutes from both Olinda forest and Makawao forest so we usually go for morning walks there 4-5 days week. We would love to bring your pup along with us! I work from home during the day. I’m never gone for more than a 5-6 hour time frame at a time and on top of that, we have a doggy door for the dogs to go in and out freely in our fenced yard. I have a fenced yard for the dogs to hang out in and a few acres beyond that (partially fenced) for them to run around and get their energy out in. I’m always watching the dogs when they are beyond the fully fenced yard. I will also make sure you are comfortable with your dog in this situation before doing so.

About: I’ve had dogs and other animals in my life since I was a kid. I’ve taken care of and helped raise dogs from the puppy stages to adulthood. I am the type of dog lover who enjoys bringing the pup(s) with me to exercise. But I also love to just chill and love on them! In my home, the pet(s) are allowed inside. We have a fenced-in yard. They cannot sleep on the furniture, including the room/bed. I will respect any wishes you have for your pet, whether that be in my home or yours. I work from home -- so, I can accommodate practically any schedule of care. I am pretty flexible because 90% of my work is done online. I treat your animals and your home as if they were my own, with love, care, and respect. If at any time I feel like I have a question, I won’t hesitate to ask, because the well-being of your animal and home are important.
About: I've been surrounded by animals all of my life, with a wild assortment of pets including dogs, cats, horses, goats, pigeons, an African Grey, hamsters, rats, chickens, and even an iguana! I grew up in the Midwest with parents who were talented breeders and trainers of German Shorthaired Pointers and Vizslas, as well as master gardeners. In my adult life I've lived with dogs, cats, and chickens, though currently have no pets of my own as I travel too much to provide consistent care. I am seeking longer in-home sits (1+ weeks) and am available to chat ahead of booking. I'm a semi-retired professional, and very much appreciating the flexibility therein! I am mainly interested in longer-term, in-home sits, and offer discounts depending on length of stay, number/ages/types of animals, and if use of car is included. The care I provide varies depending on the needs your animals! The flexibility of my schedule allows me to easily adapt to yours, making transition into caring for your pets as seamless as possible.

About: Hi there, I’m Brooklen! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes as naturally to me as caring for people. With years of experience as both a veterinary technician and pet sitter, I bring not only love and compassion but also the skills to keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether it’s walks, belly rubs, medication administration, or simply keeping your furry family member company, I approach every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to have peace of mind while you’re away, so I make communication a priority—sending updates, photos, and little stories from our time together. From energetic pups who need adventure to senior pets who need gentle patience, I adapt my care to each animal’s unique personality and needs. Your pets deserve someone who’s reliable, responsible, and genuinely devoted to their well-being—I’d love to be that person for you. 🐾 I work part-time and home fairly early in the afternoon. I have some freedom with my schedule and am eager to plan around your pup/kits schedule. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to keep them safe, comfortable, and loved—just like family. 🏡 In My Home: I create a cozy, pet-friendly space where your furry friend can relax and feel secure. I follow their normal feeding, potty, and exercise routines so they feel right at home. Fresh water is always available, and I provide plenty of toys, walks, and snuggles to keep them happy and engaged. Safety is a top priority, so I make sure all hazards are out of reach and each pet has their own comfortable spot to rest. 🚗 In Your Home: I respect your space while giving your pet the care and attention they deserve. I’ll follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and walks to medications and house rules. I also keep your home secure, tidy up after meals or litter changes, and make sure your pet feels loved with playtime and companionship. 📸 Communication: You’ll always feel connected while you’re away! I send regular updates with photos and notes so you know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to have total peace of mind, knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and cared for.

About: I’m currently doing my undergrad and want to become a physical therapist so I can take care of the kūpuna. This past summer I completed 40 hours of shadowing. I’m on summer break so I have a lot of free time. Trying to make money before summer ends. I gotta go back to school soon. My girlfriend has 2 dogs that we feed, walk, and care for. I will do the same for yours. I can also pick up poop for extra cost.
“Leilani did great with Pebbles and her little kittens. They all grew closer to her each day and looked forward to seeing her in the mornings and nights. Leilani prepared their meals - all separately from kittens to mama Pebbles, washed all their feeding and water bowls when they were done and even cleaned out their litter box each day. She showed up on time and send me photos of Pebbles and the kittens twice a day. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Leilani and look forward to having her watch Pebbles and the kittens again.”

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Makawao choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
