About: Lifelong pet caretaking is rooted in the belief that pets are not just animals; they are family members deserving of love, respect, and dedicated care throughout their lives. This philosophy emphasizes the importance of understanding each pet's unique needs, preferences, and personality. Ive had dogs all my life and firmly believe they need to be cared for as the family members they are. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my work-from-home life by providing companionship and stress relief during breaks. Daily walks and playtime offer essential physical activity, while structured feeding times establish a routine. This balance enhances productivity, creating a nurturing environment that benefits both your work and your pet's well-being. My apartment is a short walk to the beach park and dog park where they're is space to roam and exercise. While in my home they enjoy constant companionship and attention.

About: I've been a dog, cat, and chicken owner for much of my life. I am a dog walker, previous dog groomer, and volunteer at the Maui Humane Society. I have fostered many animals and my family and I are used to introducing new animals Into our home and loving them like our own. I would love to meet you and your pets and see how I can help them feel comfortable while you are away! My current schedule is very flexible, so let's discuss what you need! I am home most of the time and available on weekends for pet sitting, but not dog walking. I live upcountry on two acres in a gated subdivision. My yard is not fenced, so your pet will be kept with me in our home and leashed at all times when outside. I do not have any other pets, so yours will get all the attention!
“Rochelle is amazing! My dog has anxiety so I can tell when he is comfortable and has a good time, and he was very happy being with her. She only takes small dogs so this was also a plus as Chewie is nervous around big dogs, especially as he was attacked by a larger dog in the past. I will certainly use her again. She is a gem!”


“Eric and Nancy were a pleasure to work with. Very responsive and accommodating. Our Golden Retriever Reggie had great time — they sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the stay. Reggie was wearing a cone and they were great about taking care of him. I will definitely book them again!”
“We will definitely book Christina again. She took amazing care of our puppy Miley. She sent us updates and pictures daily while we were off island. She kept up with her training and even gave us training tips to use going forward. She gave us amazing recommendations to help us ease our dogs separation anxiety. She knew exactly what to do when our dog wouldn’t eat her food on our first day away from her. Miley was in the best hands possible and we felt that Christina took care of Miley as if she were her own. If you are looking for someone to take the best care of your pup while you’re away, Christina is hands down the best!”

“Fantastic pet sitter! Taylor is so kind. She truly cared about our dog having a pleasant stay. She kept us updated with lots of photos which clearly showed how much fun our little pug was having. We felt so comfortable that she was in a safe and loving environment.”

Whether its just daily drop ins or boarding your dogs while you're off island, they will be in loving hands.

“Kevin and Ashley were fantastic sitters for our cockapoo, Gabby! From start to finish, their communication was excellent, keeping us updated with messages and photos. It was clear that Gabby felt right at home with them—she was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. We could tell they genuinely love dogs and treated Gabby like one of their own. Highly recommend Kevin and Ashley for anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”

About: I’m a country, animal loving young girl. I’ve spent years caring for farms and ranches or just housesitting with many dogs, cats and much more. I just enjoy soaking up extra time with the critters. I’ve spent time training two of my own dogs and also several others. Experience fostering both cats, kittens and puppies is also something I can offer. It’s so rewarding to watch the dogs learn and grow with training and time. I can take your dog on walks and play with them or just chill with your cat. I currently work 3 days a week on a boat and 1 day as a bartender. Feel free to message me for scheduling and availability. If your pet is ok with me being gone on the boat 12 hrs on a couple days I’m happy to housesit for a length of time. My partner can often times let your pet out to potty on my long work days. Usually just Wednesdays are 12 hr shifts. I like to keep the pets routines as close to what they are use to as possible. Playing with, exercising, feeding and even doing some training are all things I like to incorporate in my daily schedule.
Makawao pet parents share their Rover experiences
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.

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!
