Experienced PetSitter for >33Years

Experienced, loving auntie gives you peace of mind when you’re island-hopping or going on vacation. Making sure your pup is safe & happy is my full-time job As a pet parent myself, I know it's hard to find someone you can trust with your fur-baby. As a full time professional Pet Care Specialist, I’ve cared for & helped over 500 dogs of all breeds & temperaments. In addition to Pet Sitting, I’m also a professional Dog Trainer, Film Animal Trainer & accredited Service Dog Trainer. I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Canine Studies (Cynology) & am fortunate to have been mentored by Dr. Bonnie Bergin, the woman who created the Service Dog. I’m on the Board of Directors of Hawaii Fido, Hawaii’s 1st Service Dog organization, & I’ve trained dogs for various animal shelters, Hearing Dogs, and Guide Dogs.

Dog Walking • Jul 21, 2025

Great puppy sitting and dog walking in Kakaako. Very responsive and even sent me lots of pics of a happy puppy while I was away on travel and took extra steps to make sure my dog was happy.

Jodie Miller is one of only (literally) three people on earth to whom I entrust my dog and cat when I have to leave them. They are my life; and I have severe trauma surrounding a situation wherein a dog of mine was fatally neglected at a boarding facility. So, not only is Jodie a "pet sitter" for me, but an emotional lifeline. I can only leave my pets with her because I am 100% certain that she loves and cares for them the same way I do.

I have known Jodie for over 5 years. I have witnessed her ability to care for and train dogs of all age and sizes. Jodie is very passionate about what she does and it shows. I would absolutely trust her to watch my babies if we weren’t on different islands. The time and dedication she devotes toward any animal in her care is unparalleled. Jodie will always put their needs ahead of her own even if it means missing certain events. Jodie is very experienced and professional in what she does and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a petsitter on Oahu!

Lucky to have been able to bring a Golden Retriever puppy into our home three years ago - our first dog in more than 25 years. And, the way people today care for their dogs is quite different. We were very happy to have met Jodie Miller when our GR was quite young and selected Jodie from a wealth of other dog trainers at four months old...as Goldens are quite rambunctious! We were so happy we did so young as she was able to ensure our puppy would be a happy and well-trained dog, which he is today after three years. He is adored by so many in our neighborhood and just loves Jodie, so gentle with little children and very polite with other dogs. Her background, education and training is impeccable, and she sure knows how to make sure the hoomans are well-trained as well - which is critical to the success of a puppy's training. She taught us a lot and the best part, she is always available to us (and all of her clients) any time for a quick chat, or a stop-by to ensure our GR maintains what he was trained to learn. We are very grateful for Jodie and consider a very close friend of our family. Thank you Jodie for being patient with our pup's parents/brother and for being a terrific asset for the welfare of our Golden.

Jodie has watched our dog on and off for almost 15 years. In that time she has proven to be trustworthy, responsible, and so very loving. She had a ton of experience with dogs, both personally and professionally, and it shows. There are very few people in this world that we trust with our baby, and Jodie is one of those special few. If she’s available, your pets would be so lucky to spend their time with Jodie. She really is the best!

I have known Jodie for 45 years. She is responsible, caring and one of the best people I have ever known. She has trained and cared for animals her entire life, has a degree in training service dogs, and knows everything there is to know about how to care for a pet. She is my go to person for anything having to do with my dog. In addition, Jodie is a people person that is very fun and caring to people as well. You would be lucky to have her as a sitter for your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s happiness & safety are my #1 priority. On our walks, I check the ground to make sure it’s not too hot for their feet & I keep a close eye on the ground for potential hazards & food droppings. I guarantee you peace of mind. My place is 100% puppy+dog-safe for even the most mischievous dogs. You’re welcome to visit & see where your furbaby will be enjoying their vacation while you're enjoying yours..

Pets

A typical day

When your pup stays with me, we’ll talk beforehand about his/her typical day & which activities you’d like your pup to do or not do. My building has a large private dog park, & the new Kolowalu Dog Park is across the street. If you'd like, your pup & I can meet up with dog friends for a play date. Sometimes, we even have a friend’s doggie birthday party we can attend! From having my own Service Dog organization, I have most every kind of dog toy, including doggie puzzles and games for fun & mental stimulation if your dog likes those so there's always something to do:) Let me know what brings your dog joy and we'll do it:)
