House Sitting in Maunawili

“Julie looked after my pet is if he was her own, and I had zero concern about him while I was away. Communication was quick and uncomplicated!”

Susanne G.

“Communication was amazing. Dogs loved Michelle. She sent a bunch of pictures and took them out for multiple walks. Would definitely recommend and will have her watch the boys again!”

Andrew H.

“Ryan was amazing with our girl! He took on a last minute emergency booking and gave her so much love and attention. Luna is usually a feisty one but she seems to have immediately loved him. Very communicative, sent lots of updates as well as pictures, and took good care of our home. Thank you!”

Vanessa B.

“Liz is the best!!! Every time we go out of town we trust her to take care of our dogs! She sends tons of updates and we can tell our dogs feel comfortable around her!!!!”

Madison D.

“Alexa is a great sitter whom I highly recommend! She was so kind and amazing to work with! She sent photos and updates of Ari and made sure to keep in contact with me while I was gone. She communicates flawlessly and is extremely responsible. Definitely asking her to come again!!”

Jillian M.

“We were so lucky that Keala was able to watch our dog, especially so last-minute. We needed to leave town for a funeral over a holiday long weekend. Keala made herself immediately available to meet. She is extremely professional, very reliable and responsible - she took excellent care of our dog and our home while we were away. Our family highly recommends her and will certainly contact her again in the future.”

Sabrina I.

“Kathleen exceeded our expectations while house sitting and watching my pets. She went above and beyond to ensure that my home was better than I left it when I left for vacation. Kathleen sent updates, and was very easy to communicate with. We had a flight delay and I texted Kathleen to ask her if she could let my dogs out late in the evening as we would not be home until much later than planned, she responded with a very prompt and friendly “no problem” which made my situation a lot easier. Thank you again Kathleen! We will definitely be hiring you again!”

About: I am a responsible 63-year-old professional. I have decades of experience with my own pets and have provided pet care for my friends on numerous occasions. As a senior software architect I work from home full-time, so I have complete flexibility to follow *your* preferred schedule in caring for your pet(s). I have a fenced-in yard and spacious four bedroom home. No rooms are off-limits to your pet(s); they will have the run of the house and yard.

“Fumie stayed in our house over Thanksgiving weekend . Our boys were very happy to have her keeping them company and taking them on walks. Fumie sent lots of pics and updates so we didn't have to wonder how they were doing. Will book Fumie next time we travel!”

About: I don’t discriminate between pets, want a dog sitter but also need someone to feed and look after birds/fish/lizards, etc.? I’m the woman for the job! I’m currently between jobs which means I have lots of free time to look after your pet. I can stop by through the day and give them some love, stay the nights and clean up around the place or even just feed and walk them. The choice is up to you! I’m known for making sure your furry loved ones get plenty of care and stimulation. Whether that means walks, fetch, or just a few extra pets and scratches in your absence. I’ll feed and clean up after them regardless of how extensive the routine might be for either. Any additional costs (buying you-approved treats or things you run out of if I’m house sitting) are covered by me!

About: I have owned and cared for 4 dogs (1 lab, 2 beagles, 1 mutt), and 5 cats (3 orange tabby cats, 1 longhair black cat, 1 calico) in my lifetime, and I always play with the pet at the party. My favorite dog is the beagle and my favorite cat is orange but I love them all. I am available nearly every day and most evenings. I know how to quickly win over a pet with genuine display of empathy and affection. Knowing the spot to scratch also helps. I have very long legs and walk miles daily, so I can outwalk most dogs and keep up with them as they chase birds and mongoose. If they are not yet tired from the walk, I love playing tug-of-war afterwards. My life goal is to own a large yard, 2 dogs and 2 cats, and I am working towards that goal every day. I am currently working part-time as a theatre teacher. My teaching hours are 9-3 on Tuesdays and 11-3 on Thursdays/Fridays. I do theatre and improv most weekends in the evenings. Otherwise I am very available! I only use leashes that are secure. I keep a tight grip on a leash and wrap it around my fist to be safe. I am good about checking and securing gates.

“She was very friendly and helped us out on short notice. I highly recommend her!!”

Suzanne B.

“Aris is probably one of the most detail-oriented and kindest sitters we’ve ever had! My partner and I felt so confident leaving her to house-sit, and she was super mindful of communication while we were away. Also, if you’re looking to get some of the cutest photos of your pet, she shares the best! (: when we came back, our place was almost as if we had just left and everything was so clean! Could not recommend her enough, 1000/100!! ?”

Veronica R.

“Alyson was lovely!! She really took care of my baby with a bunch of walks and snuggles. She constantly sent photos and I felt like Lincoln (our pup) was in the best of hands!! Thank you so much!! Highly recommend!!”

Katie O.

“We love Haunani! She is friendly, responsive and very professional. This was our first time using her for our dogs and house sitting, and she was great! Right before we left on our trip, one of our dogs developed a medical issue and she handled it very well. She kept us updated with photos and reports, so we were able to relax completely while away. I highly recommend her!”

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, oftentimes having at least 2 in the house. I don’t currently own my own, but I frequently foster or “Couch Crash” dogs for the Hawaiian Humane society, focusing on pups who have been with the HHS for some time. I enjoy these dogs because it gives them a small break in shelter life, gives me a great friend for a few weeks, and helps me understand their personalities more to help lead to future adoption. Out of the three dogs I have fostered, all three have been either immediately adopted by families, or found their forever homes within 48 hours. Couch crashing can require patience, care, and special attention for dogs that this may be their first experience inside a home. It’s also fun to train dogs basic skills that maybe haven’t had the chance learn yet. Aside from HHS, I have also cared for a few different coworkers pets, both in their homes and my own. I have base access if required for any services for your dog! I work Monday thru Friday, core hours 9-2, but have the flexibility to adjust hours based on desired level of pet care, and what side of the island. When I fostered dogs for the HHS or dog sat for my coworkers, I always ensured a morning walk and a “right as I get home” walk. However, if your dog already has a schedule or routine they are used to, I can easily adjust mine as required. If your dog is staying with me, my house is very dog friendly. I have a yard, but it’s not fenced in so all outdoor activity will be on a leash. Located off a quiet residential road, I have quick and easy access to take them on a walk or a hiking trail right down the street. Senior pups, or dogs that struggle with stairs, may have hard time at my place, as there are ~20 stairs leading from the carport down to the house. But i am willing to carry up/down if that is something your dog is used to or comfortable with. The house being down off the road does adds an extra level of safety from vehicles, and provides a quiet environment without a lot of foot or car traffic past the house. If watching or picking up your dog from their place, I recognize that I am a guest, and it is their world. Any and all instructions will be followed precisely to ensure they remain comfortable in their own space.

“Wonderful care for our beloved fur ball while we were off island. The house is immaculate too. Thoughtful of his wellbeing while we were gone, with updates, pictures and check-ins as needed, and plenty of activity and attention to appease his codependent nature. Thank you Suzanne!!!!”

About: I volunteered at my local animal shelter for a year and learned how to manage dogs with different temperaments and personalities. I also have a 15 year old American Cocker Spaniel who I help take care of. I work remotely so my schedule is very flexible and I am able to work from anywhere. I am available during the day as well as after work. I think a slow introduction to a dog is necessary to make them comfortable in your presence and to gain their trust. I will always give them space and be attentive to their body language and other cues.

“Hands down, this is the very best experience I’ve ever had on Rover. Bri’s communication from the initial inquiry and during the stay was outstanding! She took amazing care of our pups, and kept us updated at all times HIGHLY RECOMMEND her services for anyone looking for a top notch pet sitter.”

About: I recently decided to take a break from the 9-5 life and instead spend my time doing what I love, which includes being around animals! I am a firm believer that pets are a member of the family and because of that I know how difficult it can be to entrust them in someone else's care especially when traveling or if you have an exotic animal. I not only have ample experience pet sitting for family and friends but I have personally owned a wide variety of "fur-babies" at all ages. If you are looking for someone reliable who will love your pet as their own please do not hesitate to reach out. I have experience with the following; however, I love all pets and would be happy to discuss your needs: - Large / Small Dogs (Puppy - Senior years) - Cats - Bunnies - Lizards - Fancy Rats - Fish! I have ample availability and can provide care on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. My husband and I moved here permanently and will be here to stay, so I can provide long-term services and build a trusting relationship with you and your pet(s) if needed. There is nothing worse than finding someone you love and then having to move on to a new sitter and start that relationship from scratch! Every pet parent runs their house a certain way and I respect that. If you have a routine or preferences in terms of how to provide care in your home, I can accommodate that. Your pets are naturally going to sense your absence and so adhering to their "normal" schedule as much as possible helps provide some comfort while you are away.
