“Michelle was wonderful! She took great care of our pups and our home. Super kind and great with updates and you would be lucky to have her help with your animals!”
“I left my baby Gustav with Ryan for around nine or 10 days. He had surgery on his mouth two weeks before so had to have some special soft foods and medicines. Ryan did an excellent job. He gave him all his food sometimes had to hand feed him. He gave him all his walks and lots of love. The house was left in perfect condition very clean and tidy. I would be more than happy to leave with stuff with Ryan again. He’s polite, kind and just generally a very nice person.”
“It’s always hard to leave a family member home with a sitter. Janey is different. She cares for your pet as a member of her family. I’ve met Janey a few times before leaving on my 4 night trip. I started with a meet and greet. Then I scheduled a 4 hour house visit. So by my scheduled trip I knew that Colbie would be comfortable with her. I had a few “asks” of her during the stay and she fulfilled them up to my expectations. I knew after the first night that I didn’t need to get pictures and updates from her. I was able to enjoy my vacation to its fullest. As I returned, I asked if she would do it again and she said yes. I will be using Janey again for upcoming monthy house visits and another vacation or two. Can’t go wrong with Janey.”
“We used Veronica to house sit and to watch our cat and dog. Veronica communicate with us daily about our animals and sent us pictures. She was super friendly and listened to all of our needs in taking care of our animals. I would recommend Veronica and definitely will be using her again to watch our animals.”
“Liz is the best!!! Every time I go out of town I trust Liz to stay with my 2 dogs!! She is wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!!”
“Christina was a perfect caregiver for my sweet Bella. Bella is a Boxer and is up in age but Christina made sure all of needs were met including making sure she gets her daily medications she needs to keep active and healthy. I was very pleased with Christina’s care for my Bella and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible caregiver for their fur baby!!!”
“Colleen was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and consistently attentive, patient, and loving toward our pups. She truly went above and beyond by taking them on hikes, giving them plenty of walks, and making sure all of their individual needs were met so they stayed happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Her attention to detail really stood out, especially since she gave one of our dogs medication and made sure it was administered correctly. What also meant so much to us was her communication. Colleen provided daily check-ins and updates, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away from home. It was clear how much she genuinely cared about our dogs, and we felt completely confident knowing they were in such great hands. We would absolutely recommend Colleen to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated dog sitter, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Hayley helped us out back to back to back days and we are so grateful! Our pup can’t be left alone right now after surgery, and she was willing to stay with him the whole time. She’s so kind and flexible, Thank you Hayley!”
“Alina did such a great job dog sitting for us this past weekend! She listened attentively to care instructions and sent us photos of our dogs, leaving us feeling assured that our dogs were being well taken care of.”
“Sasha was punctual, polite, and made us feel safe leaving our dog in her hands. We were nervous since it was our first time using Rover, but her calm attitude made us feel at ease.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was young, helping family and friends whenever they traveled or had busy schedules. Whether it was just for the day or a few weeks, I’ve always loved making sure their pups felt safe, happy, and well cared for. A couple of years ago, I had the incredibly rewarding experience of fostering a rescue dog here on the island—and that’s when I decided to take my passion for pet care more seriously. When my neighbor had to move away, I stepped in to care for her pup and eventually found her a loving forever home. Caring for dogs is something I genuinely love and take pride in. I have a very flexible schedule this summer while I’m on break from school, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with your pup! I'm available for frequent check-ins, walks, and extended stays to make sure your dog is well cared for. While I’m currently exploring a part-time job on the side, pet care is a top priority, and I remain very open and committed to my availability. I live up in the valleys with plenty of other furry friend owners! It is a calm area with a super friendly community! I also have a little yard they can use for quick potty breaks.
“May was wonderful taking care of our pug and kitty! I can tell she’s very attentive, follows the guidelines, and has a genuine love for our fur babies. Would definitely hire again :)”
“Grace took great care of our Sienna and communicated well, keeping us informed while we were away. We felt confident our baby was doing ok, giving us peace of mind to enjoy our vacation.”
About: I have taken care of 3 family dogs and 1 cat since I was 7 years old, training, bathing and caring for them regularly. I also volunteered at a humane shelter for 3 years (out of state) where I worked with dogs and cats. My days are structured. I balance running training work and studying. I am very organized so that I can meet your busy schedule and routine. One of my side hustles is being a personal assistant. I am known to be trustworthy, neat and respectful in other people’s houses and with their things.
“Aaron was absolutely fantastic taking care of our three pups. They all looked happy, relaxed, and very content when we came back from our trip. Aaron sent us pictures and gave us updates on how our pups were doing. He even cleaned our home and left us a tub of ice cream in the freezer, which we so appreciated after 24 hours of travel. We would definitely ask Aaron to pet-sit for us if we go on another trip.”
“My husband and I had the pleasure of having Chase pet sit my 3.5-year-old Cavapoo and 1-year-old cat for four nights, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Before agreeing to sit for us, Chase suggested a meet and greet at a public location, which allowed my dog, Cora, and his sweet Australian Shepherd, Charlie, to get acquainted in a neutral space. They hit it off immediately! Chase is not only a thoughtful and caring sitter, but he also left my home in immaculate condition. I appreciated the regular updates he provided, making me feel at ease knowing my girls were well taken care of. His experience as a dog owner meant he understood their specific needs, and he was always kind and gentle with them. Charlie was a joyful, yet calming presence, and my pets instantly gravitated toward him. It was reassuring to know they had such great company. I highly recommend Chase and Charlie for anyone in need of dependable pet sitting services. We will definitely be using their services again soon!”

Liz is awesome, as always :D! We are sooo happy to have found a sitter like her. Our dogs both feel happy and comfortable with her (they told me ;)) and our minds are at ease knowing they are in good hands when we’re out of town. Liz is an excellent communicator and is always patient and understanding.
Amelia was such a great sitter for our babies! She took very good care of them and they were happy and healthy when we got back home! She communicated well, sent pictures, and went above and beyond by taking Finley out to the dog park! Thank you Amelia! We hope to have you back again!
We used Fumie for the first time last week and she did a great job. She stayed at our house with our dogs. When she came over to introduce herself, she got down on the ground and met our dogs first. And, they loved her!! We didn’t worry at all while we were gone and came back to our house without a thing amiss. I highly recommend Fumie!
Janey was amazing! She was super communicative and took amazing care of our two older pups! We went away for a long weekend and were able to enjoy ourselves knowing our pups were well cared for and in such good hands. We came home and the house was perfect and maybe even tidier than when we left ! I know our dogs can’t wait to see her again 🤍
Brian was wonderful with Romulus, my senior dog, especially while we were traveling and staying somewhere new. He arrived early, communicated clearly, and shared great updates and photos throughout the evening, which I really appreciated as a hands-on pet parent. When the power went out, Brian stayed calm, comforted Romulus, and kept me informed the entire time. His steady presence and care gave me total peace of mind. He’s reliable, kind, and clearly great with senior dogs. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.
Alondra was a great pet sitter and took wonderful care of our dogs! They loved her so much! She was very communicative and reported after each visit. She always sent photo updates, and I appreciated this the most as seeing them taken care of relived me from worrying about how they are doing. She took very good care of them and treated them with love. I would most definitely book with Alondra again!
Debbi is an incredible woman and dog sitter. She took exceptional care of my two 14 yr old senior huskies and administered their medication along with taking blood glucose readings x2 a day and administering insulin to our diabetic dog. During the stay our dog experienced unexpected medical decline and Debbi went above and beyond to communicate and accommodate her needs. Thank you Debbi for your wonderful care and aloha.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars for Mio! Mio is truly an exceptional dog sitter. From the moment we connected, it was clear how much care, attention, and genuine love she brings to her work. She went above and beyond in every possible way - daily updates, thoughtful photos, and a level of attentiveness that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My pups absolutely adored her, and it was obvious they were not only well cared for but genuinely happy.
Malia was an absolutely amazing sitter, we will definitely book her again. She watched our senior cat (Mitzi) that has had some serious health issues the past few months, and we were quite nervous to leave her. Malia made us feel at ease, was very communicative, and confident pilling Mitzi (she needs eight pills a day). When Mitzi starting showing non-normal behavior, Malia immediately told us and sent us videos, and even ended up driving Mitzi to emergency care to make sure she was ok. Malia went above and beyond with her care of Mitzi and i'm so grateful we found such a competent and caring cat sitter.
Varvara was a wonderful sitter for my boy! They walked and played, he was a happy guy. I received pictures and commentary every day, which is so helpful for my own mindset. I was a happy owner! My house was just as I left it. I would definitely use her services again.
Breeona did an amazing job housesitting our two cats!! She sent multiple updates with pictures and videos daily, she asked questions about their care as needed, and left our house spotless. Breeona even made an adorable illustrated booklet of our kitties as a surprise, so sweet and thoughtful! She took such good care of our cats, we definitely will be asking her to housesit again.
