I am home a lot. I go to tai chi class 2-3 times a week, and play pickleball close by once or twice a week. I like to take walks early before I go out, and before dinner around 5. I do most of my work from home and love canine company!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small 16 X 20 studio with a loft, and a futon day bed. I put a sheet on it and let pets use it or sleep on it, while I sleep in the loft. My yard is unfenced, but I am at the end of a dead end street that backs up against state forest. I will always put dogs on a leash when they go out, unless you assure me they will stick around! When I leave, I can either leave pets inside or put them on a tie-out as you prefer. Any dog not house-trained will need to be in a crate unless you can guarantee they will not pee, chew furniture or jump and damage my screens. When I house/pet sit, I prefer to walk the dogs around the neighborhood if it is safe.

Information Lahi V. would like to know about your pet

I prefer bigger dogs, but Iʻm ok with smaller dogs as well! I have been through obedience training with two dogs, and am good at working with them on a leash. Not afraid of any dog, am used to managing dogs that jump and are a handful. Also can walk two dogs at the same time no problem.

A typical day

I love taking dogs to Kehena Beach or Mackenzie Park for long walks off leash if they are mindful enough. Daily walks are to the ocean front park in Seaview. There are often other dogs there they can socialize with. I love playing hide and seek with treats to practice sit/stay and put their amazing noses to work.

Dog lover and clean house sitter

Pet care experience

I have a lot of dog and house sitting experience and I mostly work from home. I love walking with dogs; it gives me a great excuse to be outside. Not afraid of big dogs. Iʻm strong and the alpha type! Love playing hide and seek with treats. Look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)!

Lahi did a wonderful job. Duke was well cared for and went on a few adventures. I would highly recommend Lahi to care for your family fur babies.

Lahi was awesome! She sent multiple updates of our animals and they all looked happily loved when we got back.

Lahi did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. Our dogs seem to love her and she took wonderful care of our home. We would recommend her to anyone who has a pet and a house that needs tending.
