Lifetime Animal Lover

With 10 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, I offer specialized pet-sitting services that cater to dogs, cats, snakes, rats, birds, fish, bunnies, horses, goats, and even mice. My passion extends beyond just routine care—I have a deep commitment to working with elderly animals, as well as foster and rescue pets, understanding their unique needs and challenges. Whether it’s administering medication, providing gentle care for senior pets, or helping a rescue animal feel safe and loved, I approach every situation with patience and compassion. Your pets are not just animals—they’re family, and I’m here to ensure they receive the love, attention, and expert care they deserve while you’re away.

House Sitting • Apr 14, 2026

Kealani was exceptional in watching over our dog and home. The dog was happy, he was walked twice daily, fed well, and was happy to see us upon our return. Kealani washed the linens, made up the bed for us and cooked scones and a casserole for our dinner which was delicious. She stayed in touch with us daily, too. Overall, a wonderful house/dog sitter. I recommend her highly.

Kealani was very easy to work with, flexible for drop off and pick up time. Also, I feel like she really loves animals and enjoyed taking care of our dog. I felt very comfortable leaving Champ with her and will definitely book her again in the future.

Kealani was wonderful with my dog Stella. I needed a sitter last minute and Kealani was incredibly helpful. She sent me lots of updates and pictures of Stella enjoying her stay. I will use Kealani in the future and would highly recommend her.

Kealani Lewis has been so sweet and loving with our dog Henry. He’s a rescue and a bit shy; he loves her and she is so gentle with him. I know he’s in good hands with her and we don’t have to worry that he’s not being taken care of or getting enough affection.

I’m home full time, which allows me to maintain a very flexible and consistent schedule. I’m able to be present throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship, and I can easily adjust my routine to meet a pet’s specific needs.

Pets

A typical day

I can engage in a variety of fun activities with the pets I’m caring for, depending on their type, personality, and energy level. Here are some ideas: For Dogs: 1. Play Fetch 2. Go for a Walk: Explore the neighborhood, local parks, or nature trails. 3. Doggy Playdates: If the dog is social, arrange a playdate with another friendly dog. 4. Agility Training: Set up a mini agility course in the yard or living room using cones, tunnels, and poles. 5. Interactive Toys: Use puzzle toys or treat-dispensing toys 6. Swimming: If the dog enjoys water, a swim in a pet-friendly pool, lake, or beach can be a refreshing and fun activity. For Cats: 1. Interactive Play: Use feather wands, laser pointers, or toy mice to engage the cat in play. 2. Catnip Toys: 3. Create a Cozy Nook: Build a cozy fort or provide a warm spot by the window for the cat to relax and watch the outside world. 4. Puzzle Feeders: Use puzzle feeders or treat balls to make mealtime more engaging and mentally stimulating. 5. Box Play: Set up a few different sizes for them to explore, hide in, or play with. 6. Cuddling and Grooming: For Small Pets (Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, etc.): 1. Floor Time: Let them out of their cages for supervised playtime in a safe, enclosed area. They can explore, run around, and enjoy some freedom. 2. Tunnels and Hideouts: Create a fun environment with tunnels, cardboard boxes, and hideouts for them to explore. 3. Foraging Games: Hide treats in their bedding or scatter food around for them to find. 4. Gentle Handling: Spend time holding and gently petting them, especially if they’re comfortable with human interaction. 5. Obstacle Course: Set up a simple obstacle course using toys, tubes, and small ramps. It can be a fun challenge for them to navigate. For Birds: 1. Interactive Toys: Provide toys that they can peck, chew, and manipulate. Rotating toys regularly keeps things fresh and exciting. 2. Out-of-Cage Time: If the bird is hand-tamed, let them out of the cage for supervised flying or exploration. 3. Foraging Activities: Hide food or treats in different parts of the cage or use foraging toys to engage their natural instincts. 4. Singing and Talking: Spend time talking or singing to the bird. Many birds enjoy interaction and may even mimic sounds.
