“Debbi no ka oi. (Debbi is the best) we relied upon Debbi’s care for our IG during a busy week plus in Honolulu. She was flexible and able to suit our needs perfectly. Our dog was happy, healthy and I was always assured of Debbi’s excellent care of our pet. I highly recommend her.”

About: My life is best when it's full of furry friends! I've grown up with a dog, and even when I came to college I quickly found families with dogs to hang out with being away from home! I've been trusted to dog sit,walk and take care of a variety of dogs of different sizes/needs throughout college, and I would love to do it more. I also have experience giving dogs medication/helping them swallow pills. Possibly like your dog, I love long walks, being outside and end-of-day cuddles! I am a current Doctor of Physical Therapy student at Hawaii Pacific University. I moved in August from Raleigh, North Carolina. I only go for in person lab about every 2 months which I am marking off my calendar, and on zoom working hard the rest of the time! That being said, I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to stay with/check in on your pet frequently. Long walks with the company of a furry friend would really be an awesome way to take a break! I have always been an early riser and am prepared to get up early to attend to responsibilities with a dog! I usually get up at 6 or before no matter what the day entails, so I will not keep your dog waiting for breakfast, a walk and a potty break! Also I would like to include that my photo send percentage is low on Rover, because people usually prefer me texting them updates instead of sending them through the app- I can do whichever! I am very active and frequently go on long walks and can go out on adventures if your furry friend would like to join me! I would love to follow your routine schedule with the dog as well, and my schedule gives me the flexibility to do so!
“Deanne is always great, Mei Mei is always happy and excited to see her. She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the day and is always responsive. Very detailed with care.”
About: I have taken care of pets for friends and family and friends of friends. Just like when I teach in schools, I provide a safe and welcoming space. I have experience walking, hiking, feeding, giving baths, giving medicine, and teaching new tricks to dogs. I have cared for cats as well. In my adult years I've had three dogs of my own and two cats. I have used Rover before for my dog, and now would love to provide great service for other peoples' dogs and cats, like how Rover sitters did for my dog. I value communication and look forward to sending my clients photos frequently of all the fun their pet is having when being taken care of by me. I have a baby, so I am home a lot. My schedule is very flexible. I can provide lots of love, playtime, and walks for your pet. I have a fenced in patio. I live on base. I have a large tub to bathe dogs in. The house is spacious too so the dog or cat will have plenty of space to run around, lounge, and explore. If your pet stays with me, your pet will receive frequent walks as exercise is important to me for the pet's health and my own. Lots of love, treats, and cuddles to give here!
“Ashley was great!! We had a very last minute request and she was super responsive. Seems like our dog had a great time with her! Will definitely be back :)”
About: I’ve been a pet owner and dog/cat lover for 20+ years. I’m ready to provide your pets with the best attention, care, and socialization. I’m experienced in caring for younger puppies all the way through senior dogs needing special attention in addition to cats/kittens. My dog Charlie is a 4 year old Australian Shepard who loves to make new friends! He is very social and friendly with pets of all sizes… small and large and can’t wait to meet your pets. He is well trained and a great calming presence. As a grad student my schedule is quite flexible and I spend a good majority of time at home studying or attending class online. My work schedule is also flexible with shorter 4-5 hour shifts. I have a 1 bedroom apartment with a 4 year old Australian Shepard who loves to make new friends. We have several walking paths and a dog park within 10 mins walk.
“Cruzer only stayed with Kelly for about 4 hours so it is hard to review her. This is my first experience with someone watching over him. Maybe I need to experience others to get a better idea what I want in a sitter.”
“Excellent care - so communicative, sent photos while I needed to be out, and my dog was returned to me so calm and happy. She was clearly well loved and cared for by Lovina and her partner. As a dog parent, I could not ask for any better! Highly recommend!”
“Amy was very nice and patient with Chance. Sent numerous photos throughout the day to let me know he’s in good hands. Will most definitely book with her again in the near future!”
“Elizabeth is amazing she took the time to really understand what henna needed as she doesn’t give out her trust very easy. It was earned. Took her for a run and really put in work. Highly highly recommend her “ The pit bull Whisperer “ Thank you very much”
“Scott was so great with Kona and flexible with my schedule changes. He was patient, understanding, attentive, and informative of Kona’s time. He shared lots of pics, which made me feel at ease leaving Kona in his care. And he worked on some basic training with her. Scott and his family took such excellent care of her, couldn’t have asked for better.”
About: I grew up with dogs (chow-chows), but have really only sat for others for about 6 years. I have recently relocated from California and am excited to start watching pets on Oahu. I am presently in massage school 9-1 daily so this gives me plenty of time to give your pet the quality care they need for lots of love and attention. I can board up to 2 small animals/dogs in my home (Honolulu) or come to you for overnight house sitting, drop in visits, and/or walks.
About: My boyfriend and myself will both be watching your dogs. One of us is usually always home so they will rarely be alone. We will take them on walks to the nearby park and have been going on beach or other excursions on weekends 🙂 We take the dogs out twice daily and they do have access to a small yard for potty breaks when needed at almost anytime of day. When I do not work or work from home, we go to dog parks and beaches My boyfriend and I work opposite schedules and can accommodate your dogs needs. I can crate your dogs if they are crate trained but otherwise they will likely be on the furniture with my two babies If I watch in your home, I will accommodate your dogs needs and alter my schedule
“Daniel was super flexible. We had to find someone new last minute to do a doggy daycare for our pup, and he was quick to respond and super caring for her! He sent photos and videos of taking her on a walk. I would highly recommend Daniel to watch your pup :)”
About: Welcome to my dog care page! Whether it be dog boarding, checking in on your buddy, or walking, I’m happy to help. I hope to make dog ownership a little easier and give your dog the vacation they deserve. I live an active lifestyle and you can rest assured your pup will get the necessary exercise during the day. I always send my clients TONS of photos and videos throughout their pup's stay. Upon request I can also send our Garmin walking/running routes. When boarding I typically recommend a meet and greet so that I can go over any specific instructions you may have. I have a border collie of my own who is neutered and loves to play fetch. He’s well trained and often goes off leash at the park. I also have a pit bull/whippet that is very friendly, loves cuddles, and will play with any dog and somehow convince them to chase her. I usually only watch one dog at a time and plan a few big adventures for their doggy vacation (big hikes, beach trip, runs - anything aside from our 2 daily park trips). Your dog will have a blast with us and we can’t wait to meet them! We take a morning and evening walk to Manoa Valley District and do a lot of daytime playing in the yard or bully stick chewing when it’s rainy. I’ll enter and depart your home as clean and tidy as I find it. I’ll ensure a stress free process of meeting your dog in the home to calm their anxiety of a new face. I ask that you provide treats or inform me of any dietary restrictions your pup may have.
About: I’ve had my own pets since I was young. I have a turtle and a cat but unfortunately, I just lost my second family dog of old age and my first due to cancer. I’m not quite ready for a dog just yet but I’d love to be around them more! I make my own schedule right now so I have a lot of time to play and hangout with pets! I also walk everyday so it would be nice to have a companion! In my home now, it would be easy to care for a smaller dog since I live in a condo but I live right on the canal with a very lengthy path for walking pets!
