About: I've lived with cats and dogs since I was born, and I started taking care of friends' and family's pets in high school. I love pets and am always down for a walk, play, or belly rub! I am a master's student at UH so I am on campus during most of the day on weekdays for class and research but I am typically available in evenings and on the weekends with notice. I am happy to take care of your pets however you prefer. It's your pet and your home so the ball is in your court!

About: I’m a lifelong dog and cat lover with four cats of my own, and I grew up in a home filled with both dogs and cats. I’m very active and enjoy taking long walks, playing at parks, and spending quality time with pets. I understand how important it is for cats and dogs to get the attention and care they need, and I’m dedicated to making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am currently between jobs, and the government furlough has delayed the start of my new job. Because of this, I am searching for alternative income. I have a very open and accommodating schedule and am able to work when you need me to. I am a very attentive pet owner. I make sure that my pets are loved and cared for. They always have a clean-living environment with food, water, and the amenities they need. I am sensitive to animals and their needs and will make sure that your pet gets the attention and care they need.

About: Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s what I love. I’ve spent years working hands-on with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I truly believe every animal deserves patience, respect, and individualized care. From energetic puppies and shy rescues to senior pets who need a gentler touch, I’m experienced in adapting my care to each pet’s unique needs. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of reliable care. I’m primarily available during the morning and early afternoon, which allows me to provide attentive, unrushed visits that fit well with pets’ daily routines. I care for pets in their own home, where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. I follow your pet’s established routine closely—feeding, playtime, litter or potty care, medications, and quiet companionship—so their day feels as normal as possible while you’re away. I treat your home with respect, keep spaces clean and tidy, and take time to make sure your pet feels safe, calm, and well cared for. Thoughtful attention and reliable updates are always part of my in‑home care.

Kaitlin did a great job, was very thorough and communicative. Probably most impressively, my cats who are generally not very social were really comfortable with her from the first meeting. Highly recommend!

Brandi is great! She is very communicative and is always on time. My two pups absolutely love her! She brightens their day when she comes over to give them a potty break during our long work hours. Our older dog has some health problems and she gives him his mid-day mediation. Their quality of life is so much better now that she’s a part of it!

Great service and took good care of our kitties. They were well fed and kept the litter boxes and water filled. Also took out the trash which was very nice after our long 2 week trip.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Lyndi! It was super last minute that i reached out to her and she happily accepted the booking. She took amazing care of my two cats while I was away, giving them plenty of love, attention, and care. She kept me updated with photos, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. When I returned, my cats were happy, well-fed, and my home was just as I left it. I highly recommend Lyndi to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter!

About: I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends from my childhood pups Oreo and Cameo to my brother’s sweet pit bulls and my best friend’s energetic heeler. I’ve volunteered at shelters, fostered kittens, and cared for pets of all ages. With me, your fur baby will get plenty of aloha, belly rubs, and adventures! I work full-time during the week but am available on weekends and select weekdays. I’m organized and committed to prioritizing quality time, walks, and play with your doggie. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I follow your pet’s usual routines, ensure fresh food and water, give daily walks, playtime, and lots of affection, and keep you updated so you have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life and have experience with both cats and dogs of all ages. I’ve worked with the Hawaii Cat Foundation caring for kittens, mom cats with litters, and elderly cats, so I’m comfortable with shy pets, special care needs, feeding routines, medication schedules, and giving animals patience and attention. I also worked as a dog walker growing up and have experience handling different dog personalities and energy levels. At home, I currently care for two cats and a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, communicative, and caring. I treat every pet like family and always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently work full time during weekdays, but I’m available after 4:30pm for evening walks, drop-ins, feeding, and pet care. I’m also available all day on weekends for flexible scheduling and extended visits. Detail-oriented pet sitter experienced caring for cats and dogs of all ages, including kittens and senior pets. Reliable, patient, attentive to routines, medications, comfort, cleanliness, and care.

About: I’m an animal lover with a big heart and endless cuddles to give! I’ve had dogs of my own, so I understand the love, patience, walks, belly rubs, and care that pets need to feel safe and happy. I adore dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes! Since losing my sweet rescue girl (black labrador & pit bull poi dog) from the Humane Society, I’ve missed having dogs in my life and would love the chance to shower your fur baby with cuddles, walks, attention, and lots of TLC. I also regularly dogsit my boyfriend’s dog whenever the family is away on vacation because they trust me completely with his care. He (boyfriend’s dog, haha!) absolutely adores me and even though he growls at most people, he’s always gentle and loving with me 🐾 I stick with a set routine for walking and feeding. I’m in tuned with their needs and talk to them like a human being when they seem to not be feeling well (missing their owner and not eating) and try my best to cheer them up and remind them that mommy/daddy will be back soon, don’t worry! I work a regular full-time office job with the State of Hawaii in town and can step out of the office to offer potty breaks or quick check ins. I’m available anytime after 4:30pm when I get off work and I have my own car so transportation is not an issue. I’m easily reached by phone so you can always get in touch. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. I understand how important trust is when welcoming someone into your home and caring for a beloved family member, so I will always treat both your pet and your space with the utmost respect, care, and professionalism. I closely follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medications, and any special instructions to help pets feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. I pay close attention to their behavior and emotions, especially if they seem anxious, lonely, or out of routine, and I make sure they receive plenty of affection, patience, reassurance, and loving companionship. Communication and trust are extremely important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind. Your address and personal information will always remain private and will never be shared with anyone. For your safety and comfort, absolutely no strangers or guests will ever be allowed into your home during your absence. I’m very clean, dependable, respectful, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your home stays tidy and your fur baby feels safe, loved, relaxed, and cared for until you return home!

About: Hello! My name is Josie. I am a 21 year old college student studying early childhood education at University of Hawaii Manoa. I have grew up around dogs, and currently have two of my own who live with my mom in California. Since around the age of 13 I have watched multiple of my neighbors/ family friends pets. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. I am currently a full time student who does not live with animals so getting to spend time with your animals would be such a treat. Because I am at school on morning I often go on walks in the afternoons so being able to bring a furry friend would be even better. I live in a very safe and walkable neighborhood. It's near a school where I often see other dogs running around as well! Your dog would be well cared for in my home. It does have a small set of stairs so if that's an issue please let me know.

About: Hi! I’ve been pet sitting for 40+ families across Oahu and have years of hands-on experience working with animals both through pet care and my job at a veterinary clinic. This has given me a strong background in animal health, behavior, and caring for pets with different needs, including medication and special routines. I really enjoy building trust with both pets and their owners and making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable while their family is away. You can also check out Emma’s Pet Pals on Instagram to see photos and testimonials from past clients. I am a full time worker therefore it's best to let me know your pets schedule to ensure I am a good fit with their schedule. If notified early in advance I am always open to adjusting my schedule to best suit your pets needs. Knowledge is key! I have experienced so much in the animal industry and I think it's best to know everything about your pet from their behavior, their allergies, their past history & your expectations.

Thank you so much for taking care of my cats, Canelo and Lio (even though they were up to no good some days lol).
