Owner away? I’ll sit and stay!

Hi, I'm Kelly! I am extremely passionate about the well being of dogs, so I take pride in high-quality care and love. I have had dogs all my life, both big and small, and have experience in walking, feeding, grooming and waste cleanup. I have been a dog sitter for about 8 years now. New clients get $20 off their first stay if they’ve never used Rover before! I work from home as a remote worker so my schedule is flexible! I provide overnight boarding, dog walking, house sitting and drop in pet care. I have a strong love for animals so I will treat your pup like my own. I am happy to accommodate any special needs your dog may have such as separation anxiety, medications or allergies. I have a cozy house and my four legged guest is allowed to roam around the house freely and is given potty breaks as needed. Our house is pet friendly and our neighborhood is a dog loving community!

We feel so fortunate to have found Kelly. Oreo loved all of the attention and love. And Kelly provided daily updates with pictures of Oreo having a great time. We would highly recommended Kelly.

Kelly and her partner, Syd, took excellent care of our senior dog, Lucius, for the 19 nights we were away. It was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving Lucius anywhere overnight. Kelly arranged a meet and greet at a local park and our boy took to her immediately. Her warm, friendly, and caring demeanor gave us reassurance that he would be in good hands. We also liked that she only watches one dog at a time. Lucius has pretty bad separation anxiety and doesn't like to be left alone--Kelly and Syd had the flexibility (and understanding) in their schedules to ensure that someone was home with him, or they took him with them. He got so much exercise on daily walks, hikes, shopping/coffee outings, etc. that he came back to us in better physical shape than when we left him! They even provided a dog stroller for him when they noticed the pavement was too hot. Lucius seemed so happy in the daily pictures and updates that Kelly sent, we questioned whether he would want to come back to us! We were hoping to find a caring person who would give our dog lots of love and attention during our long vacation, and Kelly went above and beyond. We look forward to seeing her again!

Kelly was FANTASTIC with my dog while I was away. It was my first time using Rover, and I was was nervous trying it out, but she made it easy breezy and gave me so much peace of mind. Great communicator, great caretaker, great human!

Kelly was wonderful with our Mochi, catering to his needs. Taking him out to wherever she went. She provided daily updates with pictures on how he was doing while we were away, which alleviated our worry about him.

Kelly was great with our dog Mochi, taking him out on adventures. She sent us pictures so we could see that he was having a good time. She's very accommodating.

Schedule

Is your pup a cuddle bug or couch potato? I’ll be right by their side to give a nice belly rub! Does your fur baby like to go on long walks at the park or beach? I live right outside of Waikiki and I’m always looking for company! Whatever your doggie’s preference is, I’m the gal for them.

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment is spacious and I live near a grass field so your fur baby will have plenty of room to be comfortable and entertained. I also live walking distance to the dog-friendly Kaka’ako Waterfront Park! It makes me happy to see tails wagging and tongues sticking out, so I am very excited to care for your pup!

A typical day

I love staying active by going outdoors so me and your four legged baby will mostly be at the park or at the beach! If your pup isn’t a fan of being active, I also love a nice cuddle bug as well.
