“My dog June, had a wonderful stay with Randi and we will board her here again in the future. June likes lots of attention and she got it here :) Randi was very professional and kept us posted with photos/videos of June throughout our trip. June was also in great spirits when we picked her up. I would recommend Randi to our friends for their pets without any hesitation.”

“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.”
“Madison and her husband were so great with my dog. They were so kind and welcoming, and then when it came time to pick him up they were very helpful and had his things ready for easy convenience. They were always quick ti communicate which was also so nice. Will definitely book again!”

“We’re very pleased to have found Wanda and Lonnie for our dog Isabella. She spent two nights with them and Isabella came home like her normal self. Wanda and Lonnie were easy to work with and attentive to Isabella’s needs. Much appreciated!”

“Bullish had an amazing time and I would definitely recommend Casey! I had an emergency and had to book him for a 2 say stay less than 24 hours from dropping my pocket bully Bullish off and he was able and happy to watch him. Bullish had an amazing time with plenty of play time and walks! Casey was communicative with updates. Definitely recommend and will be booking again! Aloha 🤙🏽”

“The best sitter we could’ve hoped for! Everything went better than expected, loved all the pics they sent throughout the week and put us at ease that our baby was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Diann took care of my 2 year old Pomeranian. She was such a loving caretaker. Walked and took Suki everywhere with her including the beach, church, supermarket, family gatherings. She made sure Suki ate and drank on schedule and even hand fed Suki when Suki was too nervous to eat. We are so lucky to have found Diann to take care of her and I would definite do it again when I’m out of town. I highly recommend Diann.”

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.
About: Hi there! We are a family of dog lovers, who would be thrilled to care for your pets. We currently have one small dog, a 7 year old Shiba Inu. Both my husband and I have had dogs our whole lives with plenty of experience. My husband is known as the "dog whisperer." We have family on the mainland and travel back there a couple times a year, we know how important it is to find someone you trust and who will love and care for your pets while you arent there to do it yourself. Whether its just daily drop ins or boarding your dogs while you're off island, they will be in loving hands. Im currently a stay at home mama with our 1 year old daughter and have a flexible schedule. We are a very active family and would love to have your dog join us on our daily outings. We live in Kihei right down the street from a dog park and the beach and are there regularly. However you would like your pet to be cared for; daily drop ins, boarding while youre away, snuggles, scratches, fetch, walks... I'm here for it!
“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!”

“Leah was great!! Louis Vuitton had a great time with Leah and Marley. At first I was worried but Leah took care of Louis like it was her own and Marley was a super companion. Overall rating a 5 star!! Louis will be back there again when we go on another trip. Thank you Leah and Marley.”

“Amazing! We have never left our two dogs in boarding before. They have a complicated diet and they believe that they are a part of the family. Shanelle (husband &children) took them into their home and loved them as if they were their own! Rides in the car, walks with other dogs...sleeping on pillows… under blankets haha. There just isn’t anyway to express this much gratitude. What a BLESSING 💕”

“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!!”

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.
“Rochelle was super friendly and accommodating. She had great communication and sent us numerous text during our pups stay. Coco took to Rochelle extremely well, which is not very common for her. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt extremely comfortable and could tell that Coco did too. Rochelle’s space was very dog friendly. Our Pup was even on several medications at the time, which Rochelle made sure to give her and stayed on top of. I would definitely recommend Rochelle for your pups next stay! 10/10!”

“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!”

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.
“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.”

“Will definitely be using Kathrine whenever I need a sitter for Unicorn. He was so happy when I came and got him and seemed to be having a great time. Love that he is not stuck in a kennel and gets to run and play all day.”
