Reliable & Attentive Pet Care

*I am available to sit all over Kaua'i. I began house and pet sitting in Colorado, caring for homes and animals in Boulder, Denver, and Arvada. My very first sit was for a cat named EggRoll, and it quickly turned into a recurring relationship—something that naturally continued with many of the families I worked with. Since then, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, from cats to dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve supported everything from high-energy younger dogs who need consistent exercise, structure, and attentiveness, to older dogs who require a slower pace, extra care, and thoughtful support around mobility and accidents. One of my favorite parts of this work is getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I’ve cared for large dogs that others found intimidating, but through patience and presence, built trust and connection with them. I’ve also cared for multiple-pet households, including homes with both dogs and cats, and I adapt easily to different dynamics. I naturally align my schedule with the needs of the pets in my care—whether that means maintaining consistent walk times, feeding routines, play, or simply offering companionship. In many homes, pets have slept alongside me, and I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and at ease while their owners are away. Beyond pet care, I treat each home with deep respect. I keep spaces clean, care for plants, manage mail, and stay attentive to the overall environment so that everything is well cared for upon return. Above all, I bring consistency, attentiveness, and genuine care to every sit. **I currently offer in-home pet care that does not require driving. I’m very present during my stays and ensure pets receive consistent, attentive care in their home environment. For longer stays, I plan any personal errands mindfully to ensure your pet’s routine and care remain consistent and uninterrupted. ***I may occasionally have slightly delayed response times, but I always respond as promptly as possible. Mahalo!

Safety, trust & environment

I approach every home and pet with a strong sense of responsibility, respect, and care. When I’m in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and walk routines to any specific behavioral or medical needs—so pets feel secure and experience as little disruption as possible. I stay attentive and present, always observing changes in behavior, mood, or health, and I communicate clearly with owners when needed. My goal is for you to feel at ease knowing your pet is not only being looked after, but truly cared for. In the home, I maintain cleanliness, respect privacy, and treat the space as if it were my own. I’m mindful of safety at all times—ensuring doors are secured, environments are calm, and pets are supervised appropriately. I also bring a calm, grounded energy into the home, which animals naturally respond to. Creating a peaceful and stable environment is just as important to me as meeting practical needs.

Corrine took great care of Monte and kept me updated and feeling confident with her in charge. She left my home clean and was great to work with.

Corrine stayed in our home with our dog and cat for a week. She is trustworthy and took excellent care of our home and our pets. She was easy to communicate with while we were away and we came home to happy, content pets and a clean home. We would be happy to have her help with pet care in the future.

Corinne has sat for us many times. She is a sweet person, and has a strong connection with animals. She left our house if perfect condition, and did many household duties for us. She is quite organized and responsible. Anyone would be lucky to have her sit for their pet.

Schedule

When I’m sitting, your pet is my schedule. Your pets' routine become my routine. I shape my days around their needs so they experience consistency, stability, and care while you’re away. I’m flexible and present throughout the day, making sure feeding, walks, playtime, and rest all happen naturally and on schedule. I adjust easily depending on the pet—whether they need more activity and engagement or a calm, steady presence.

I take time to get to know each pet and ensure we’re a good fit before confirming a sit. To maintain a safe, calm, and supportive environment, I’m not able to accept: 1. Excessive Barkers 2. Aggressive dogs towards humans and other dogs 3. Dogs that have extreme separation anxiety 4. Dogs that are not fully potty-trained or mark indoors (This does not apply to puppies and I absolutely understand and make space for accidents in elderly, disabled, or special-needs pets. The real distinction I care about here is not potty-trained vs not, it’s intentional vs unmanaged behavior). 5. Dogs that are destructive when left home alone
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
