Pet Sitting in Makawao

“Rachael always cares my cat Lola like her own. I can leave her behind with no worries. Most importantly Lola is happy to be able to stay at home even while I am not there. I can not thank enough.”

About: As a dog owner myself, I know it's important to have a reliable sitter/walker who will watch out for your pet like their own. I have volunteered at animal shelters for 15 years, cared for the pets of friends and neighbors, and have done scent work with dogs. I can do drop-in visits weekday evenings and visits/walks/runs 7:30 am - 9:00 pm on weekends, including long holiday weekends. Last minute requests are okay, life happens! If you're a first responder and need pet care so you can do your job, let me know - I'd like to offer you a 10% discount. I work full time weekdays in a conservation job, so I can care for your pet after work (drop in visits) and on weekends (walks/runs and drop-in visits). I will consider last-minute requests, just ask. I can care for pets in their home. I learn their routine, communicate with their family, and ensure they are safe and happy. If possible, I would like to meet your pet before caring for them so they are familiar with me and there are no surprises.

“Madilyn was awesome! My pup wasn’t feeling well and made a mess in her crate. Madilyn was so patient and understanding. I highly recommend Madilyn. She was great!”

About: I enjoy collaborating with owners to make sure pets have a successful and positive experience. I take the needs and abilities of senior dogs into consideration, and have the energy and patience to keep up with playful puppies. I have pet sat many animals including cats, bunnies, birds, horses, mules, mini donkeys, pigs, fish, and iguanas. Time with pets fits easily into my daily/weekly routine. My schedule allows some flexibility. Please reach out with specific needs and I’ll do my best to make it work I am respectful of spaces that are not my own. I follow owners instructions regarding pet care. I note any behavior that is out of the norm.

“Mehana did great with our big boy Kava. She weathered the rain and got his walks in under less than ideal conditions! Looking forward to booking her again in the future. Great communication & great with my dog!”

About: I have always been drawn to animals and them to me. I grew up with dogs and have a cat right now. I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them love & helping out the pet owners. I am very flexible, communicative and nurturing. Thank you for your time! My hubby & are retired PTs and are doing our online business. I do pet sitting and dog walking on the side bc it is my therapy. I adore animals and they help to calm and center me. I enjoy being able to help ease a pet owner's worry bc I myself am a pet owner and know what I expect from someone watching my cat. I am very picky and want communucation, videos and updates. I do exactly what I say. I believe all pets feel the most safe in their own environment so I prefer going to their home. My cat is also not friendly with others so that is a big no-no. I am very open to staying the night, as long as the pet owner is comfortable with that.

“Bea was great with my puppy! Super chill and easy to work with, and I felt good knowing my dog was in good hands. Came back to a happy, well-taken-care-of dog. Would definitely book her again!”

“I don't think we could've left our kitty in better hands than Shanelle when we headed out of town for the holidays. She was kind, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to ensure Hayley was comfortable and well taken care of. Her level of communication and reliability was great and very appreciated. Her photos and reports were thorough and did a great job documenting Hayley's activities and care. We will definitely be using Shanelle again.”

Christine R.

“Angie got back to me quickly when I first reached out, was easy to communicate with, and took great care of my puppies! She sent (adorable) photos over from her time with them, walked them, gave then after, and kept then company. Very friendly and reliable - will definitely use again :)”

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!

About: For my kindergarten career day I showed up as a vet. After that, I became the kid in the house that would constantly be "adopting" new animals. It goes without saying that I've always been an animal lover. This led me to study and graduate with a bachelors in animal science and veterinary studies. Throughout my bachelors I was a foster parent for my university's pre veterinary and pet rescue group. During this time I fostered dozens of pets (cats and dogs). After graduating I developed an entered in conservation and my career path shifted to the study of wildlife conservation. However I worked for 3 years as a veterinary technician while I continued to pursue my career in conservation. Two of these years were at a pet veterinary clinic and one year was as a wildlife rehabilitation of migratory birds. Also worked at Maui Humane Society as an Enrichment and Behavioral Technician. Right now I have beautiful 3 year old tabby cat who is not a queen but a "Khaleesi" and her little sister Arya. However I thought I'd share the love since they’re so spoiled. I know that with my academic and professional experience I'm more than prepared but as a pet parent myself and a veterinary technician I understand that no matter how safe they are, we still worry. So why choose me? My intention is to be someone relatable, dependable and approachable to my clients. The goal is to make you as a pet parent and your pet as comfortable as possible. Hope to hear from you and feel free to reach out with any questions! I'm currently employed by the Maui Humane Society and will only offer my services as long as it doesn't conflict with working hours. Meaning that if I accept your request, your pet will have all of my time and attention. Open to house sitting during work days as long as we agree on everything and both parties are on the same page. At your location I will adhere to any requests or methods you have as long as it's a safe environment. At my location your pet will be under my care and sometimes interact with my partner who is also a veterinary technician. My 3 year old female cat (Khaleesi) lives with me on and off. She's and inside cat that goes on walks, has outside monitored time and is very pampered overall. All vaccines up to date, takes flea prevention monthly and is spayed. Whether you're open to our pets playing together and/or sharing space is up to you. Khaleesi is used to other pets both dogs and cats. They can be separated and sometimes will be regardless since just like people some animals just aren't meant to get along. All of these things will be discussed before on you agreeing on my services. The point is for you to feel comfortable.

About: I watch Horses, Chickens, Pigs, Dogs, and Cats. I have equine experience and giving pets there medications. I love to play and make sure your pet gets the exercise they need and I also am a pet photographer! I work part time, I have mornings and evenings free and can stay overnight if need. I have a flexible schedule and can come and go as often as needed. I own two rescued bunny rabbits, one lives inside name Princess Pele and the other one lives outdoors named Migi. I can only care for pets at your home, since I rent in Haiku. I am honest, and have several references from my past of pet sitting.

“Kate took great care of my pups. And they all adore her!”

“Kelly was so, so great! We have two dogs and a cat and she was very attentive and kept in communication with me while I was traveling out of state during the Thanksgiving holiday. We have a pug and a Staffordshire bull terrier and she was great with both of them, as well as with our sassy tabby cat. We would love to have her do drop-in visits and walks again and highly recommend her to others in the area.”

About: I have been caring for people's homes and pets since the day I got my license. Friends, family, and even people I barely knew have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, brush, and snuggle their fur babies. I am very comfortable staying overnight for house-sitting and pet care and always treat people's spaces and animals with the same respect I would want someone to treat mine. I recently moved back to Spokane after living in Maui for several years. I loved using Rover in Maui, and made some amazing connections with people still love to stay in contact with. I work as a Speech and Language Pathologist with a schedule of 8-3:30 M-F. I have church activities on weekends which usually go for a couple of hours. If you need a house sitter, please message me, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can! In a client's home, I can feed, bathe, walk, and play with any fur babies you have. I can also give medication if given the proper instructions and can send frequent proof-of-life pictures. If house-sitting, I ensure that the house looks the same as when you left it! Always following the golden rule!

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.

“We were so lucky to find Grace! She was extremely reliable, very thorough in reviewing our instructions, and took great care of our dog Jenny for drop-in visits at our house. She was flexible and great with communication. Would definitely hire her again, highly recommend!”

“Easy to communicate with. Sent pics:)”

About: I have two furry babies back home in Montana! Ever since I’ve moved to Maui I’ve wanted to start rover so I can hangout with your cool pets! I'm currently looking for part time pet care! I'm available to stay in house or drop in for walks and a few rounds of catch! Excited to meet you! Whatever rules or restrictions you have for your pets | will easily follow, just let me know! Please also let me know if transportation to parks is allowed!

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.
