Professional Dog Trainer+Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

If you’re going on vacation or simply hopping over from/to our sister islands, you’ll enjoy peace of mind knowing your fur-baby is being cared for by an attentive, experienced loving auntie. As a pet parent myself, I know how difficult it can be to find the right pet sitter. As a full time Dog Trainer & Pet Sitter for the past 33yrs, I’ve cared for +helped over 500 dogs of all breeds, sizes+temperaments. Making sure your pup is happy and safe is my full-time job:) In addition to Pet Care, I’m also a professional Dog Trainer, Film Animal Trainer & accredited Service Dog Trainer w/25yrs of experience in this rewarding industry. 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’s 1st Service Dog organization-Hawaii FiDo, and I’ve trained dogs for Guide Dogs, Hearing Dogs, Search&Rescue, Scent Detection, & various animal shelters.

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!
