Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Expert, Pets’ Best Friend
As a graduate of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa with a major in Marine Biology and Animal Behavior, I bring a unique understanding of animal care to every pet I work with. My academic background has given me insight into animal needs, communication, and behavior, which helps me provide attentive and compassionate care. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior pet needing extra patience, I tailor my approach to suit their individual personalities. With my passion for animals and a professional, science-based perspective, you can trust your furry family members are in expert hands.

Ratings and reviews
Didn’t follow the profile with my dog. Let her be around a cat and then blamed the dog and us! Wanted us to pick up our dogs 2 hours after drop off
We boarded our 2 dogs. Our dogs were happy and well taken care. The 2 dogs they have are very well behaved and friendly to our dogs. She groomed one of our dog (golden retriever) she was well groomed and deshedded. When we got her She smelled really good and well groomed. We highly recommended them if you are looking to board your dogs and get other services. Highly recommended!!

Schedule
Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I have two large dogs and a cat, so my day revolves around their feeding, exercise, and playtime needs. Each morning, I ensure they get their walks, followed by meal times and any grooming sessions needed. I also make time for cuddles and attention to keep them happy and healthy. Weekly, I focus on additional activities like training sessions for the dogs and extra care for the cat. My pets’ well-being is my top priority, and their routine is an essential part of my day-to-day life.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I provide a safe and spacious environment for pets, with a 6,000 sq ft backyard fully enclosed by a 6 ft high fence, ensuring they can play and explore freely. I have two friendly, well-trained dogs – a German Shepherd and a Labrador – who stay outdoors and do not enter the rooms. I also have a cat that lives in the rooms and has grown up alongside the dogs, so they all get along harmoniously. For clients, I maintain their pets’ routines and ensure they feel safe and comfortable in a welcoming, pet-friendly space.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping pets engaged with fun and stimulating activities during their stay. For dogs, I’ll take them on daily walks around the neighborhood or play fetch in the backyard. With the 6,000 sq ft space, there’s plenty of room for active games like tug-of-war or agility exercises. I also love incorporating training sessions to reinforce positive behaviors. For cats, I provide interactive play with toys like feathers or laser pointers, along with plenty of cuddle time and relaxation. I ensure that each pet’s activity level matches their personality, ensuring they have a fun and fulfilling time!
