Caregiver with Aloha

Pet care experience

~Aloha Dog and Cat Parents! I grew up in a dog focused family on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. I welcome clients and their beloved dogs into my home with the aloha spirit. My family has owned dogs since 2005. We also love to adopt dogs from rescue shelters. Dogs take a priority in my life and their health and happiness is important. I have watched over and helped to care for my family's dogs since 2005. After our precious Sam I Am the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel passed away a few years ago, my family rescued a little mixed breed angel named Hot Dog and we've been in love ever since. Hot Dog has endless love towards his human companions but also has leash aggression that means we walk with caution. Through my experience with family dogs and dogs through Rover, I feel well equipped to work with dogs from all backgrounds. I do have a special place in my heart for those rescue pups but will gladly snuggle up with any pupper looking for love. **House Sitting** I look forward to providing a wholesome and loving experience while house sitting with your dog or cat. I have extensive experience working with rescue dogs so I'm glad to stay with any dogs that may have leash or dog aggression - just no human aggression. I am comfortable with long and short stays and will come prepared with my own Clorox wipes to ensure all surfaces remain clean during and after my stay. Your pet will be my priority while you're away so fret not. Does your pet enjoy cuddling on the couch or in bed? Sign me up! Does your dog need special motivation to eat their food? Not to worry! ~I do require easily accessible/free parking during my stay. So it either must be free and unlimited street parking or a garage stall you're able to offer me. Thanks!~ **DOG WALKING/DROP INS** I live in the Green Lake/Maple Leaf area and will only do **Dog Walking** and **Drop- Ins** in that region. While I'm glad to make an exception to that, I would most likely charge more for transportation fees to get to and from your home. __________ I look forward to getting to know you and your lovable pup! Please feel free to reach out with any further questions. Side note: for anyone wondering how to say my name, it's: "ee-lee-muh”

Ilima consistently takes great care of our senior dog, modifying her walk lengths as needed based on her needs for the day/weather/etc. She’s the best!!
