About: Hi there! Avid animal lover here ! My name is Daisy M. and I've grown up with a vast variety of animals in my childhood till now. I own two dogs of my own currently an 1 year old hunting dog mix rescue and a chihuahua/pomeranian mix and a rescue cat who are the light of my world and fur children! I've trained and raised all my animals I’ve owned (one being an exceptionally well behaved Service Dog) and can provide basic training for an additional cost. have worked at an animal hospital so administrating medication, messy clean ups, and baths are no problem for me. I have also worked in a grooming department, as an equestrian Care taker and competitor, and a doggy day care. I am comfortable with all animals of all species and sizes. You can count on me to always treat any animal as if they were my own(: hope to hear from you soon! Mahalo🐾 I currently work from home and also as a nanny part-time, so my schedule is flexible and adjustable for any needs! Mainly available weekends and afternoon/evenings. I will NEVER leave an animal unattended while in my care! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs and a cat at my own home and am able to do some boarding at my own home case-by-case!
“Becca was wonderful with Lily and her human. She went well beyond what was asked of her to make sure Lily was well cared for. We immediately rebooked with Becca for additional days and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for kind and compassionate care for their pet.”


“Steph was outstanding, on time, attentive to our pets needs and kept us in the loop daily. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to other pet owners. Very trustworthy and responsible... thank you Steph for everything!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have an awesome 5 year old cattahoula mix who loves to make friends! We live at the back of Iao Valley, right next to the stream and have a beautiful fenced in half acre for the dogs to run around on. I work from home so will be w pup all day! They have free range to be inside or outside whenever they want. Lots of attention and love. I have a huge fenced in yard. Dogs have their own door that is always open for them to come in and out. Lots to explore and sniff!
About: I’ve always been around various animals (rabbits, horses, turtles, cats, dogs) as my mom was a vet tech and loved to foster. I love (and own) big dogs and operate a pet friendly cleaning service as well. I’m a residential housekeeper so due to my schedule I would ideally be shooting for afternoon walks and/or checks ins- typically between 3pm-5pm. As for walks, my dog is about 70lbs and my boyfriend’s dog is about 40lbs and I usually walk them together so I’m used to dealing with a lot of weight in tense situations. Please share any concerns or preferences beforehand and I’ll be sure to make a note (my dogs are still triggered by cats no matter how hard I try, so no judgement here). For in home visits- I will make sure the animals stay in designated contained areas and follow any dietary restrictions or preferences. Comfortable with giving medicine when needed (outside of injections).
“Casey was absolutely amazing with Goku! He treated him like her own, gave him so much love and attention, and kept me updated with the sweetest photos. I could tell he felt safe and happy the whole time. Truly five-star care — I’d trust Casey with Goku any day!”

“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!”

About: I’ve always had a passion for dogs and recently loss my chocolate lab who lived 14 years. I do still have a 9 year old black lab who needs a playmate during the day. I’ve worked at the Boise zoo for 5 years and have experience in administering medicine. Im currently a full time BSU student and since most of my classes are online, I’m home all day to take care of dogs full time. I have a fenced in yard and I’m walking distance from several dog parks. I have a very friendly black Female lab who would love to have a playmate during the day. I’m a big guy (6’4”)so I can walk 3-4 dogs on a walk. Currently unemployed and looking for jobs in Kihei, Hawaii for now until I find either walk or until I figure out something just let me know and I’ll be there in a jiffy. I talk with the client and make sure to either give them a choice of daily or every other day updates on the dogs progress/mood if anything is out of the norm I will contact them immediately
“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.”

“Megan was SO awesome!! I was in a huge bind trying to find someone to help out for a hospital stay, and had no advance notice. I joined Rover in a panic! Megan responded to my Rover request right away, and made time to get the key (in one direction on the island), and then head back to help the stranded pups (in the other direction) all within HOURS!!! She came up with creative ideas on her own (that she ran by me) to help out in this unique situation. She really was a lifesaver, and was an EXCELLENT communicator the entire time. She really went above and beyond, and I am SO grateful! I would definitely recommend her!!”
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was 6, but I love all animals—especially dogs! I’m friendly, reliable, and always ready to give pets extra love. I’m currently working and in school, so I’m available during the evenings on weekdays and more flexible on weekends (though it’s currently summer so i may be really flexible at the moment.) I’d love to spend that time with your pets—whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety and comfort come first. I follow any instructions you leave, stick to your pet’s routine, and always provide lots of love and attention. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure your pet feels secure—whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime. In my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly space and supervise all interactions closely.

About: From the time I was born, I always had an animal in the household. My love for taking care of my four legged fuzzy friends continued into high school, when I started volunteering at Assistance Dogs of Hawaii. One thing I learned from my experience volunteering is that I enjoy making a positive impact on pet and owner relationships. I’m currently working part time so I will have down time that I can spend caring for your animals. I am also taking a few online classes which makes my day to day very flexible! My care for your animal/s will be based on your needs as routines are different depending on your pet and home life. I am very diligent and detail oriented. I will be able to follow your directions and ensure that your pet gets lots of love!

Litter boxes and pet clean up. I can also help care for plants and other small tasks.

Catherine saved us last summer when our dog sitter canceled in the middle of our trip! We had her watch our pups again this summer and she was amazing. She was flexible and reliable. She was very patient and caring with our fearful dogs. I highly recommend if you are looking for someone you can trust to take great care of your pets.
For never meeting Koda prior to these visits, she did amazingly well. She was so calm when she introduced herself. Koda is selective and he took her quickly. It seems she has common sense and intuitiveness with dogs. She followed all the instructions, kept in touch and sent pictures. Koda seemed very relaxed when we came home. We will definitely use Cora again!!
