I currently work from home as a full-time environmental professional, which means I have a flexible schedule for pet care! Since I’m home throughout the day, I can easily fit in morning, midday, and evening visits or walks. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, so I’m able to give my full attention and care to yours. I also love spending time outside, getting pets out for walks, playtime, or just relaxing in the fresh air is one of my favorite parts of the day. Because I work remotely, I’m around consistently and can offer personalized, dependable care adapted to your pet’s routine. Whether that’s extra snuggles, structured walks, or simply keeping them company, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always treat every pet and home with respect, as if they were my own. That means keeping things tidy, maintaining your pet’s schedule, and communicating regularly with updates and photos so you know how things are going. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely so you and your pet feel stress-free while you’re away. Since I work from home, I’m able to spend plenty of time keeping pets company, whether that’s curling up for cuddles, heading out for walks, or just providing calm, consistent presence throughout the day. I make sure they get the right mix of exercise, attention, and quiet time depending on their personality and energy level. If your pet enjoys time outdoors, I love getting them out for walks, playtime, or fresh air in the yard. My goal is always the same: to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and comfortable, and that you have peace of mind.

Information Alyssa G. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their personality and routine so I can keep things consistent. Please share as much detail as possible, including: ~ Daily routines: feeding times, walk schedules, preferred routes, or favorite toys ~ Behavior and comfort levels: how they do on leash, around other animals, new people, or at the beach ~ Health or special needs: medications, allergies, sensitivities, or mobility considerations ~ House rules: furniture limits, sleeping spots, or areas that are off-limits ~ Communication style: what helps you (texts, calls, photos, etc.) and them feel safe and calm (treats, phrases, cues, etc.) Knowing these details helps me tailor their care to match what they’re used to at home. My goal is always to make your pets feel loved and for you to have total peace of mind while you’re away.

A typical day

Mornings usually start with walks, fresh air, and breakfast. During the day, while I’m working remotely, pets can hang out nearby for company, naps, or play breaks. In the afternoon, we’ll get outside again for another walk, some fetch, or even a beach trip if that’s something your pup enjoys. I love keeping pets active and engaged, but always match their energy and comfort level. For cats, I make time for play sessions with toys, laser pointers, and plenty of gentle attention. Evenings are for winding down, cuddles on the couch, dinner, and relaxation before bedtime. Every day includes a mix of care, play, and companionship.

Warmhearted WFH Pet Care

Pet care experience

Need someone you can trust while you're away? I offer pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking services across Oʻahu, with the perk that I work from home, so your pets and your home get attentive care. I’ve grown up surrounded by animals. We always had multiple pets, and my mom managed a veterinary hospital for over a decade. I spent countless hours playing and learning how to care for pets of all kinds. That early exposure gave me a love for animals and an understanding of their needs that continues to grow today. For the past ten years, I’ve provided pet and house sitting services in various states. For the last four years, I’ve called Oʻahu home. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or long-term care, I bring reliability, compassion, and professionalism to every visit. What Do I Offer? ~ In-home pet sitting & overnight stays: your pets stay safe and comfortable in their own environment ~ House sitting: mail pickup, plant watering, general upkeep, and home security ~ Exercise & Enrichment: tailored to your pets needs ~ Reliable updates: photos and communication so you’re always in the loop Why Choose Me? ~ Since I work from home, I can promptly respond to your pet’s needs, no long absences or rushed visits ~ Personal, caring service with an attention to detail and medical needs ~ Familiarity with local neighborhoods and conditions on Oʻahu ~ Flexible scheduling to match your lifestyle (vacations, day trips, regular walks) ~ Peace of mind Whether you’re traveling, working long hours, or simply need an extra hand, let’s chat. I hope to meet your four legged ʻohana soon! Mahalo, Alyssa

Alyssa was a last-minute overnight, in-our-home pet sitter, and she was excellent! Our usual non-Rover helper was sick and we scrambled! She was so prompt that we were able to communicate almost immediately, and she was very respectful. I felt heard while voicing my concerns, and respected when my young child woke up and I had to interrupt our conversation. She is promptly communicative, she left the home in better shape than she found it, and most importantly, she took perfect care for our two little baby dogs, with receipts :)! I will definitely reach out for any future trips, as she’s professional and trust-worthy for your fur babies!

Alyssa cared for our pups for three nights while we were out of town. Prior to our trip, she came by to meet us and the dogs and they could not have loved her more! I was very surprised that they immediately felt comfortable with her, as they are usually apprehensive around new people. During her stay, she kept us updated and made us feel at ease. When we returned, our home was left very clean and tidy. Alyssa was even kind enough to bring in our mail/packages and she also did the laundry! I would highly recommend Alyssa and would welcome the opportunity to have her care for our pups again in the future!

I cannot recommend Alyssa enough! She watched my dog Riley for a full week and went above and beyond. She took Riley on tons of walks, played with her endlessly (which is saying a lot because Riley is very energetic!), and even started teaching her new tricks. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup who was absolutely exhausted in the best way possible haha. I felt completely at ease knowing Riley was in such great hands. I already booked with her again!

I can’t say enough good things about Alyssa! Spark and Ember our two cats and Kyla and Moxie our 2 high energy labs loved having her stay with them when were away for a week. She has taken care of them multiple additional times and she was absolutely amazing. They are so excited when some comes over to stay with them. From the start, she was responsive, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease leaving our them in her care. She sent daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated. She took them out to lay in our yard and snuggled our kitties and everyone was relaxed and happy. Alyssa even went above and beyond by watering our plants, vacuuming, and bringing in the mail without us asking! The house and the animals were clean and well cared for. It was such a relief to know they were in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Alyssa to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and responsible pet sitter. We’ll definitely be asking her to come stay with the kids again!
