“Josh is the best with our husky Roxy! We went away for an extended period for the first time since getting our dog and were nervous to leave her since she can be anxious in unfamiliar situations. Josh took special care to make sure Roxy was at ease. He followed all of her care instructions perfectly and sent wonderful photos of their walks along with detailed updates. His passion for working with animals enabled him to build a strong bond with Roxy quickly and we could tell she was so happy to have him as a new friend. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Roxy was so well taken care of while we were away. We highly recommend Josh :)!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Alondra! She stayed at our home for the weekend to take care of our dog, Molly, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the very beginning, Alondra was accommodating and professional. She came by ahead of time to meet us, get instructions, and pick up the keys, which helped us feel confident that everything would go smoothly. While we were away, she sent us daily updates, which gave us peace of mind knowing Molly was happy and well cared for. When we returned home, Molly was her happy self, and it was clear she had received plenty of love and attention. The house was also spotless—you honestly couldn't tell anyone had been there except for our happy pup waiting to greet us! What really stood out about Alondra was her genuine, warm spirit. She is kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with while also being dependable and professional. It's never easy to leave our sweet girl behind, but knowing Molly was in such caring hands made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We would absolutely book with Alondra again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other folks looking for a sitter. Thank you, Alondra, for taking such great care of Molly and our home! We appreciate you.”

“Liz came to stay at her house for two days to take care of our two dogs shortly after we moved from the Mainland to Oahu. She provided absolutely excellent care and love, and we recommend her highly. While at our house, she sent us many pictures and updates, as well as asked questions on anything she was uncertain about, so we knew throughout our time away that our dogs were in the best hands.”


“5 Stars – Truly the Best Dog Sitter! We are beyond grateful for the incredible care our three dogs received while we were away. From the start, it was clear our sitter was not only experienced but genuinely kind and attentive. She took the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality and needs, and it immediately put us at ease. We got regular updates and adorable photos that gave us so much peace of mind—it really felt like our dogs were on their own little vacation! It was obvious how much love and effort went into every part of their care. Reliable, thoughtful, and truly a gem—this is someone who goes above and beyond. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book again or recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier pet care.”

“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.”

“As always, we're able to get away and not worry about our gang or our house. Our dogs love her and we can tell they are behaving like themselves via her daily feedback, photos, and videos.”

About: I’ve always had an interest with animals. Growing up my parents never wanted pets in fear that we ‘wouldn’t take care of it’ but I assured that every time I would and when they finally listened that’s what I did. I always took care of our dog. Trained him, feed him, took him out, and cleaned up after him and even payed for veterinary visits like it was my only purpose. It comes very naturally it’s apart of my daily routine. I would be able to take care of your pet on days I’m off all day and from morning to early afternoon while working. I would definitely ask about your pet and make sure to get to know your pet best in order to care for them the best I can. I would make sure they’re comfortable and I am able to help them with what they need. Playtime, walks, food, snacks, etc.
“Cannot recommend Alexis enough. We had to make a last minute adjustment to our dog sitting plans because of our older dog having an injury, and Alexis was quick to respond to our request. She stayed with Tal at our house and took such good care of her, regularly updating us on how Tal was doing as far as walks, medication, bathroom, etc. Alexis made it possible for us to enjoy our time with family off island; we knew Tal was being taken care of. We are so grateful!!”

About: I’m a lover of all animals! I currently work as a veterinary assistant (vet experience since mid-2024) and have experience with all kinds of pets. I’m working towards my B.S in Animal Science at UHM. I would love the opportunity to take care of your animals! I work part-time with a flexible schedule this summer. Please feel free reach out and let me know how I can best accommodate your pets! I always ensure to respect the space, save energy, and ensure safety for the pets by closing and locking doors and preventing hazards. I would love to learn all about how I can best make your pet comfortable! I am patient and willing to build a relationship with them.

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashley took amazing care of our dogs and our home while we were away. She kept us updated throughout the stay with great communication and of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. The best part was coming home to happy, relaxed dogs, it was obvious they had been so well cared for that they hardly seemed to miss us! We truly appreciated the love and attention she gave each of them, as well as the care she took with our home. We are so grateful for everything she did and will absolutely be requesting her again for our future pet care needs. Highly recommend!”

“Sasha is always so great with our pets, making sure they get lots of love and keeping them healthy and safe! She was great at communicating including any questions that came up along the way.”


“Ryan was wonderful. He sent quick responses and a photo with an update every day. My dog can be particularly anxious but she seemed fine. I would definitely book with Ryan again.”
“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.”

“Such an amazing person! She sent us so many pictures of our fur babies and took such great care of them! Will absolutely be reaching out to her for all of our trips! Super responsive, kind, warm, and loving to our pets! The best pet sitter we have had!”

“Zoe was absolutely amazing with my dogs, Comet and Nova! She was incredibly attentive to both of their individual needs and made sure they got plenty of walks, playtime, and love during each of her drop-in visits. I really appreciated the updates and could tell she genuinely cared about them. My older dog has special needs, and it’s not always easy to find someone I fully trust to care for her, but Zoe went above and beyond. She was patient, compassionate, and made sure my dog was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. I came home to two very happy, well-cared-for pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend Zoe to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with a Maltese who was my best friend, and since then I've been the go to dog sitter for friends and family. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including Huskies, Border Collies, Poodles, Shiba Inus, and many more. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and tend to treat them like my own kids. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or keeping them company while you're away, I'll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and loved. I work from home so I'm pretty flexible. The earlier we communicate the more flexibility I have. Typically more available in the afternoons and evenings I know leaving your dog with someone else can feel a little nerve wracking, so I'll do my best to make it easy for both you and your pup! Whether I'm stopping by for a visit, taking them on a walk, or staying overnight, I'll follow their usual routine and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and getting lots of love while you're away.
“Janey was amazing. This is my first time hiring a sitter and Janey made everything go smooth. She is very communicative and provides updates which made me feel better. I will be booking Janey again”

About: I have grown up with dogs and had them in and out of my life. I am pretty experienced with young puppies and adult dogs. Although I am not experienced with senior care or giving medication. I am currently a part time college student that will be taking classes online. I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I will do my best to work with so that it works out for everyone. I cannot board any animals in my home however I would be happy to spend the night with your furry family members in your home. I take pet safety very serious and I’ll care for your pet like they’re my own pet. I’ll also follow any instructions, rules and dietary needs that you have for your pet. Further more I won’t leave your pet unsupervised unless in a safe or secure place and with your knowledge and permission.

Renee did a great job house sitting while we went on a weekend trip to a neighbor island. She was attentive and communicated quickly and efficiently. Hoku and Peaches seemed to do very well with her. My home was left in excellent/tidy condition which is very important to me. Much Mahalo!

I would give Alessandra 10 stars if I could!! It was an absolutely pleasure to book with her from start to finish - easy communication and she is clearly such a caring and conscientious person. Alessandra checked in with daily photos and videos of my cat —who was so well cared for!— as well as updates about the apartment. She left everything super clean and tidy when she checked out. Thank you so much for your care, Alessandra, wishing you every success and will definitely book with you again 💕

Janey did an excellent job caring for our dog and home. She shared daily texts and photos to keep us informed throughout our vacation. She clarified with us things she was not sure of and informed us of issues that came up. We came home to a clean fresh smelling house which “we really appreciated. We highly recommend her!

I have left my 2 dogs in the care of other people many times in the last 5 years. Having Elizabeth do in-house sitting, this was the first time I didn’t worry at all about my girls. She took amazing care of them and sent many updates and great pictures. My house was just like it was when I left as well. I highly recommend Elizabeth!

We appreciate you.

Liz took wonderful care of my 2 pups and house for the week! She updated me twice/day with photos and a few videos as well! She even checked that I made it home from my flight to make sure the dogs didn't need any additional care. I felt at ease on my trip knowing that my dogs were being well cared for!

Victoria is a joy to work with! She took excellent care of our Leia and sent daily updates and pics. We never worried about her care and was able to enjoy our travels away from home. She also left our home super clean, which was a plus! We would not hesitate to book her again. Thanks Victoria!

Andrés is the best sitter, hands down! While I've had Andrés housesit before, it was only for a night, but this time, he housesat for 5 nights. Pawson is so comfortable with Andrés because he takes such good care of him. Andrés followed all instructions to a tee, and he left things tidy. Andrés was communicative throughout my trip, sending updates regularly. Best of all, Andrés made sure that my Pawson was comfortable and active, relieving his stress. I'm so grateful for Andrés, and Pawson will definitely be seeing him regularly! Mahalo, Andrés!

Eleanor was the perfect fit for Leo and she is so kind and the sweetest person who was willing to go the extra mile literally to meet Leo and my needs. I will be using her again and I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a special person to be with your family member while you’re away!!

I simply can't rate Beth highly enough. She gave our energetic, attention loving pup a ton of exercise and attention, was very generous with her time/pictures/texts, and all on quite short notice after our previously scheduled sitter had their plans changed. Couldn't have asked for a better fit.

Hannah and Ian were fabulous with my lil Hela while I was away for 3 days. They were very open minded and helpful from the very beginning. I highly recommend them to take care of anyone's pet. They made sure Hela was well fed and cared for and even sent me pics along the way. Thanks Hannah & Ian!
