Highlights
Pet care experience
❤️Fact: Our "pets" = true ohana!
🌺🤙 A L O H A and E' KOMO MAI 🤙🌺 . I hope you're having a PAWesome day and MEOWhalo for visiting my profile - pet puns are so corny, but so cute! I absolutely love being with animals every single day of my life! I work very hard to provide safe, trustworthy, loving and quality pet care with big ALOHA that's not always achieved with inexperienced or insincere sitters. I will love and care for your pet keiki (child) like my own because they're not just pets, I earnestly consider them as genuine part of our ohana (family) even if others do not agree 🙏🏽 . . . ✅ Please note, I have a questionnaire at the bottom of my profile on what information to include when describing your fur keiki! My fees and rates can change depending on the commute to your location, the specific type of care and work required, whether they are fixed, their size and high-peak times. . . . 💲 Discounts can be provided when a pet keiki becomes a regular client or when multiple visits are booked in advance! And I have a discount code for brand new clients! 🙏🏽I apologize in advance for any communication delay or errors, sometimes this app is glitchy and I don't always receive the messages immediately. . . . 🤙🌺 About me: I am born, raised and blessed to be living in Honolulu! I grew up taking care of fur keikis and continued throughout life whether they belonged to friends, family, neighbors or my own. My unconditional passion for animals evolved innately for me as a child, and vastly progressed as I grew up - except now I am significantly more experienced and knowledgeable in their proper care, handling and training. When I was on the mainland, I had the privilege to start my own pet care business except instead of primarily receiving requests for common pets like dogs and cats, I would receive calls for llamas, exotic reptiles, alpacas, horses, snakes, sugar gliders, large birds, goats, pigs and other farm animals! Side note: Llamas are some of my most memorable experiences, they are so incredibly goofy but a ton of dirty work! I've traveled extensively to learn how to physically handle and care for a variety of different animals, and I've had the privilege to take educational lessons with them including red pandas, owls, kangaroos, wallabeas, porpcupines, sloths, meerkats, lemurs, capybaras, otters, giraffes, penguins, ostriches and many more! One of the most valuable lessons I've learned is that animals can be unpredictable. Daily situations change frequently and can easily become dirty and terribly chaotic at times so not much surprises me, and I adapt very quickly to unusual events and unpleasant situations. I am very detailed oriented in my work and thoroughly enjoy helping others as my past education and work history is in human healthcare and law. When I'm not busy, I volunteer with a variety of local and independent rescue groups including Hawaiian Humane Society. If I'm not caring for animals, I'm on the trails hiking, camping, traveling or playing at the beach as I'm an avid explorer of mother nature and the world! Many of my regular doggy clients are considered a part of our woof pack ohana, and many have been trained and raised by me personally since they were puppies. We are all one very close and loving ohana, and I would do absolutely anything for them. They are all very well behaved and sweet pups who have grown up together to 🥹 I've worked pervasively with premature born babies and all the way up until their last breaths with countless animals and I'm so incredibly blessed that my calling in life has been answered with my little business 🙏🏽🙏🏽 . . . Everyone asks me why I started this little business, and this is the simplest explanation: I cannot imagine living in a world (nor want to live in a world) without animals - and especially without our furry, feathered, scaled or hairless ohanas! A day without animals is a day wasted!

Ratings and reviews
Very responsive, caring and kind. Karrine was easy to communicate with, sent lots of pictures and took great care of my fur baby.

Karrine is an absolute joy to work with! My husband and I feel so blessed we found her and happy we paid a little extra for top tier care. Our Luna is a Frenchie who is sometimes not good with other dogs, but Karrine has such sweet energy that all the dogs know they are safe and there is no need for a fuss. Karrine was sending us several pictures a day of our girl with all the other doggies getting a long just fine. Our cat stayed in her bedroom and was treated to soothing reassuring talks while under the bed and gentle scratches and cuddles when she would come out. Overall I would definitely recommend Karrine to anyone. Five stars for sure!


This was my dog’s first day care experience so she was a little nervous. Karinne was very patient made sure she was comfortable with the new environment. Very pleased with the care she provided!!!

We are repeat overnight customers. Karinne is great! I truly feel like she treats my dog Reggie like her own.

Karinne was excellent! Ensure Reggie was well taken care of, loved and welcomed in her home. Highly recommend. Will be a returning customer.

Loved Karinne. Super easy

Schedule
🗓️ As you can imagine, my schedule changes as I am not always needed on a regular basis. There are periods where I'm booked out, and other times where I'm completely open and flexible! In other instances I might be home all day, and other days I'm in/out of the house! Please inquire about my current and forecasted schedule/location!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
🥇Safety is my number one priority. PERIOD. I cannot emphasize how imperative safety is to me. I work diligently to ensure your pet keikis are free from harm, discomfort and injury. I train all of my assistants to be unequivocally just as meticulous. I pay extra attention when we are outdoors or in new, unfamiliar environments. I'm automatically keen on scanning our surroundings for potential danger or complications. I also have 24-7 security cameras that monitor all parts of my home in a secured and safe environment including a fully fenced private dog park.
A typical day
⛅☂️ Rain or shine (even if it's raining cats and dogs) your fur keiki will be loved! I am open to everything that your little loved one would enjoy or is already accustomed to! Each pet keiki is individually unique so I understand that I adapt to their personality, and it's my responsibility to create their optimal space to thrive. I'm very active so I run, hike, shoot hoops or bike almost everyday and getting out for exercise is not a problem at all! We can practice commands/training, play games, fetch, cuddle or attempt to learn tricks to keep your pet keiki stimulated especially if you're in the process of training. I am not a certified trainer, but I'm extensively knowledgeable in various training techniques and practical skills education as a result of individual study and caring for dogs/animals my whole life and currently every day! If your pet keiki just needs a rest and relax zone, of course we can lounge around in peaceful, quiet spaces with light play, treats and snuggles! I have a very soft spot in my heart for elderly or disabled pet keikis. These populations are often overlooked or forgotten and it breaks my heart. I am very comfortable managing and adapting to their delicate care including medical administration, medications and procedures.
