“We’re so grateful for Janey! While on a ten-day trip, one of our kitties broke through a small screen window in our bathroom and went missing for 5 days. We had care scheduled for our kitties, but it became clear it would take more to bring our Stella kitty home. With still a week left in our trip, we were becoming very concerned Stella would not come home without a dedicated and persistent search effort, and that’s when we contacted Janey. Right from the start, Janey was empathetic about our situation and committed to helping. She went above and beyond our expectations, from bringing various types of fish to put out for our kitty to circulating our kitty’s photo on social media sites (with our permission), all while providing love and care to our other kitty, Oscar. Janey was easy to coordinate with and is a reliable communicator. Janey up finding our Stella kitty deep out into the yard behind our house when Oscar awoke her in the middle of the night. She saw eyes glowing in the yard, contacted us, and went out to investigate based on an intuition it was our Stella, which it was! She approached Stella carefully and brought her home safely. We highly recommend Janey for her great communication, dedication to help, and clear way with animals!!”


“Hayley was so amazing with our pets! She sent updates every day and took such good care of our girls and our home. Definitely recommend Hayley to watch your pets/house sit.”



“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.”


“Thank you so much Julie! We booked very last minute and we're very anxious about leaving our boys for the first time. Julie was fantastic and made it an amazing and seamless experience. She sent lots of updates and took great care of our babies.”



“Ryan was great with my little "anxious" tender guy, who loved having someone work online at home with him all day! He took good care, gave medicine, and reported in with pictures daily. I came home to a healthy, happy pup and a clean house!! Lyn”


“Hayley has been amazing! She was able to accommodate our situation on short notice and was incredibly effective in communicating throughout. We received constant updates with photos and notes about Coco, which gave us total peace of mind. Her care, attention to detail, and reliability are top notch. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have her looking after Coco. Highly recommended!”


“Liz was great with our senior dog & cat. Sent regular messages & pics to let us know how they were doing. They were in good hands & we felt great knowing they were so well cared for!”


About: I work from home and am passionate about providing loving, attentive care that makes your furry family members feel safe, happy, and pampered while you’re away. With plenty of experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, I tailor every visit to fit your pet’s unique needs — whether it’s playful walks, cuddle time, or keeping up with their special routines. I know how important peace of mind is when you leave your pet behind. That’s why I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s a quick check-in, an energetic walk, or overnight stay, I’m here to make sure your pet feels loved and comfortable. Book a meet and greet with me if you need pet care! Working from home means I’m able to provide pets with attention and care throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding, and rest are all part of my daily routine, ensuring pets feel loved and well cared for every hour. I care for pets by providing a safe, clean, and loving environment, whether at my home or theirs. I follow each pet’s routine and owner instructions closely to keep them comfortable, happy, and stress-free. My goal is to make every pet feel cared for and at ease.

“We had a great experience with Katy! She was wonderful with our pup and kept him in his usual routine. Not only did she take great care of our house, but her communication was prompt and clear, which really put my mind at ease. I would definitely use Katy again and highly recommend!”


“CJ was very reliable and communicative. He sent updates and photos that gave us peace of mind while we were gone. Best of all, he was genuinely excited about spending time with our dog Emme and did a great job meeting her needs and following our guidelines/preferences. We definitely hope that he will take care of Emme again (and Emme hopes so too).”


About: I've owned various animals from cats & dogs, to rabbits, rats, and reptiles throughout my life. Since my dog passed, pet sitting has allowed me to fill my desire for animal companionship. I love to teach animals new tricks and have no problem reinforcing household rules despite it breaking my heart to say no to a cute and tender face. As a doctoral candidate most of my work can be done on my laptop, brining me great flexibility in my schedule and work location. As long as there is WiFi I can work from any house with the added bonus of taking all my breaks with a new adorable animal friend! I think it's important to keep animals on their routine to keep them happy while their favorite humans are away! I'm more than happy to accommodate and maintain their regular feeding, training, walking, and other routines that would bring them consistency :)

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.

“This was our first time booking with Aris and we are completely SATISFIED! We will be regular customers. Aris is inquisitive in learning of our 2 dog's specific needs. She made us feel like we were leaving our fur babies in very capable and caring hands. She sent multiple updates daily proving our pups were in great care. She stayed at our home and we returned to happy pups and our clean home just as we left it. We have already booked for her to come again!”


About: I'm an Italian girl who owned a Samoid (Snow) for many years, but also a kitty named Miele. Apart from my own doggo and cat, I took care of a smart Malinois (Mila) on the island of Saba [Dutch Caribbean], a giant tortoise, and a big doggo from Puglia (Pixel). I took care of two big doggos in Draper (Utah) too, and took them daily on long walks. I also took care of my 91 year old grandma in Slovakia and her chickens. I love animals beyond measure ❤️ I'm a University student who's doing a Master's in Spanish (I take two classes a semester) and I teach one course of Spanish a semester only. I'll have time for your pups every day of the week, including weekends. I'm available for boarding, considering that I spent a lot of my time working from my computer (reading, writing, homework)! I'm looking forward to spend time with your furry companions and to give them high-quality company! I am a very sentimental person who cares deeply for animalitos ♥️ I spend a lot of time in the pup's company! I talk to them, walk them, pet them. I am very sporty and I can't wait to take them out for a walk and care for their safety and well being. I'll give them food and water and will play with them. I'll pet them all the time and make sure they're contempt ♥️

About: I will take the best possible care of your fluffy ones! I have had pets ever since I was 5 years old and had full responsibility for their care and training as soon as I was a teenager and been doing it ever since. I also used to volunteer at Forte Animal Rescue where I helped rehabilitate weary dogs find their forever homes through fostering and through creating a gentle trusting relationship slowly. I am very attentive to detail, and will be devoted to taking the best possible care of your dogs and/or cats, as I know how much they mean to us. I’m currently working on making a living as a film school graduate and have an open schedule! I have my own car as well and I will take the cutest pictures and videos of your pets while you’re away btw 😊 I live in a big multiple acre property in Tantalus where my two cats live with me and where I occasionally run into my neighbors dog Toby. The property is open, and really fun for dogs and cats to explore.

About: I grew up with a lovable pug, which sparked my lifelong love for animals and taught me how to care for dogs with big personalities in small bodies. I’m experienced with all kinds of pups—from energetic puppies to mellow seniors—and I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. I’m attentive, calm, and reliable, and I’ll treat your pet like family. Whether it’s administering medication, going for walks, or just providing cuddles, I’m here to make your pet feel safe and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine—I prioritize walks, playtime, and check-ins around my flexible schedule. Whether it’s early mornings or evenings, I make time to ensure each pet receives consistent attention and love. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care never feels like a chore—it’s a highlight of my day. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I’d give my own. In your home, I maintain your routines and follow all instructions carefully to ensure your pet feels safe and secure. I always double-check that doors are locked, leashes are secure, and pets are never left unattended in unsafe areas. I also send regular updates, so you always know your pet is in good hands.

About: Hi! I’ve spent all my life surrounded by animals, dogs and cats have always played a huge role in my life. I have two cats of my own, back on the mainland for now, and three dogs! Over the years, I’ve helped care for animals of all sizes and personalities. I enjoy taking them on walks, going to the beach, playing time, and snuggles! I know all there is to know to make a happy puppy. Being away from my own pets has only deepened my appreciation for how special that bond is. I’d be able to give your pets not just the same love I cater to my own, but more! Trust assured your dogs will be asking to see me again! I work at an ice cream shop part time for now, while I have online college courses. That allows majority of my time to you and your pets! Whether you need someone last minute, or you’re planning a trip somewhere, I will try my best to work on your time. I live in a house with a yard with plenty of space for out door play time and indoor snuggles! See you soon! I live up Whilelmina Rise near Kaimuki. And I work 5 minutes down the road at Kāhala mall! I work part time so I have a lot of time to spend for you and your pets! I love in a loving home with my girlfriend and I, not only will your pets be receiving love from me, but also another animal loving professional! I have plenty of yard space to potty and play and and my house if very pet friendly kind of on the smaller side but spacious.

Summer C.
“I have known Summer for 18+ years. As a young adult she has proven to be a mature, honest, reliable and completely trustworthy person. Over the last several years, she has cared for our family dogs during overnights and extended weekly time frames. Without exception, she has shown them the same safe and loving care that we expect. They always greet her with enthusiasm and complete trust. Awesomeness? YES! As a High school Senior: Presidential Award for Educational Excellence; Washington State (Academic)Honors; Captain of School Cheer Leading Squad; Homecoming Court; and as a first semester college student, a 3.8 academic achievement. Her past job experiences qualify her for dealing with clients and provided her with customer service expectations. A completely well rounded young lady!”

Allie H.
“If I were to describe a person who unconditionally loves animals, it would be Allie! Not only have I seen her care for her own animals with a love that rivals all else, but she is also a saint when it comes to interacting with/caring for other people's pets as well. I have seen this first hand as Allie has watched my *sometimes spicy* cat on several occasions. She always does an impeccable job, and has done the unthinkable and befriended my antisocial cat. I would trust her to watch every single animal on the planet if that were an option!”


Diandra Z.
“Didi is an extremely warm and reliable person. She makes animals and people alike feel very comfortable and is quick to act under stressful situations. I have left her with my cat several times when I’ve been off island and have always had peace of mind knowing that my fur baby was in her care.”

Manoa pet parents share their Rover experiences
We were so fortunate to have Liz watch our two dogs for a week while we were away. She was absolutely wonderful—attentive to their schedules and needs, caring for them as if they were her own. Liz kept in touch with us every day, sending both morning and evening updates along with pictures and videos that always made us smile and gave us such peace of mind. One of our senior pups (17 years old) decided to become an evening opera singer during our trip, and Liz went above and beyond to comfort and soothe her. She tried multiple things with patience and compassion until our girl was settled, which spoke volumes about her heart and dedication. Our other dog has had IVDD and multiple surgeries, so he needed extra care to avoid injury. Liz was wonderfully attentive to his comfort and mobility, making sure he was safe and supported throughout the week. Knowing he was in such capable and caring hands allowed us to truly relax. Liz is reliable, thoughtful, and incredibly caring. It was clear to us that she put our dogs’ comfort first and took her responsibility seriously. We came home to happy pups and a well-cared-for home, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Liz to anyone in need of a loving, responsible, and communicative pet and house sitter. She is truly a gem, and we feel so lucky to have found her.

Matomi dog sat our dogs, Koda and Luna for 3 days. It has been awhile since we needed this service. Koda and Luna was well cared for, while we were away, Matomi also kept us updated and also sent us photos of Koda and Luna. The pictures she sent were so comforting for us to see because Koda and Luna look so comfortable and relaxed. We didn't feel any worries and felt so comfortable with Motomi caring for them and house sitting. We will always use Motomi when we need her services again. Thank you Motomi. Ray, Maki, Koda, and Luna.

Jessica always goes above and beyond to make sure my cat is well taken care of! We had the unfortunate situation of me being gone during the tsunami and she coordinated with me about different ways we would handle it depending on how the tsunami went and made every effort to make sure my cat would be taken care of. I’ll add that my cat is is on multiple medications, including dry pills, eye drops and an inhaler and she handles of it with ease

Chase is absolutely amazing. He is very good with communication and the animals all loved him so much. The cats felt very comfortable around him, I could tell in all the amazing pictures I got 🥰 I will most definitely be looking forward and completely comfortable with him looking after my fur babies in the future.

I have used Dominic 3 or 4 times now. He’s great!!! My dog always seems happy & well taken care of when I get home. I never have any stress about my dog or house when I’m away & Dominic is sitting. I will definitely continue to use him & would definitely refer him!!

FUMIE took wonderful care of our two cats and our condo during our 8 day trip. Daily, she sent photos and videos showing her genuine bond with our two furry little boys. Fumie is reliable, trustworthy, and experienced. She communicated promptly before we left and during the trip. Without a doubt, we hope Fumie will house-sit for us again. She has our highest recommendation.

Megs stayed at my place when I went on vacation. When I came home, she left my place the way I left it. Everything was clean, and put away, which I really appreciate as she went above and beyond on that. She even washed my sheets that way I can just go to bed as soon as I get home. Communication has always been great with her. I will definitely book her again next time I need a pet sitter!

Max 5 star ratings for Aris S! She took great care of my 5 kitties while on a long business/vacation trip. They have never taken to any other human other than me before but they took to Aris immediately. She'll be my #1 go to house/cat sitter going forward. Aris is someone you can trust and rely upon to take care of your kids - no doubt!

Elizabeth took absolutely fantastic care of our 2 yo Boxer. She played all his favorite games, watched his diet, and gave him lots of cuddles. She sent photos throughout the day each day of her stay, which was delightful. She also cared for our plants! She was super easy to communicate with and really responsive. She went out of her way to make things easy for us and even waited for us after a very late night flight so our boy wouldn’t be home alone at night. Elizabeth was everything we could have hoped for and more. We enthusiastically recommend her!

Nicole took such good care of Ekolu. I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone new, however Nicole was able to ease all of my worries. She followed all of my care instructions and left my home spotless. She provided me with daily updates and pictures. Ekolu looked so happy in all of the pictures. I would highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a house sitter that will care for your fur baby like her own.

Luna was absolutely incredible! This was my first time using a sitter since my family usually watches my dog, and she gave me complete peace of mind while I was traveling out of the country. From the very beginning, she was communicative and reassuring, and throughout my trip, she sent frequent updates and pictures. She treated my home with care and, most importantly, took amazing care of my dog—making sure she got plenty of exercise, even taking her to the beach and giving her a bath! I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and I will absolutely be booking with Luna again. Highly recommend!
