Highlights
Pet care experience
Veterinary technician and trainer
Rest assured your pets will be well taken care of with me! I’m a veterinary technician who specializes in emergency and critical care, my hours are extremely flexible and I can provide attentive round the clock care to your pets. Having worked at both major 24 hr veterinary ER and specialty centers on island, I have extensive knowledge and experience when it comes to animal medicine and my rate reflects that. I offer medical boarding for any special needs pets at no additional charge and will ensure any paraplegic kiddos remain clean and regularly bathed. Medication administration is included if necessary as we I commonly take on senior or chronic illness pets. I live in a duplex style house in Aiea with a shared unfenced yard we use with long leads. We have a small fenced area right outside our door that we have set up with raised and perforated turf tiles to allow immediate access to bathroom breaks if we can’t make it out for a walk right away. (We clean this area after every potty to ensure it stays clean as dogs also like to use this area to sunbathe). Our two story home is ideal for both pets that love other animals and those that don’t. I have specialized in behavior modification for years so I regularly take on pets that have their own quirks. We are able to keep dogs separate while they acclimate to their new surroundings without crating them. However, we do ask that you provide a crate if your dog is used to that. I have 4 dogs of my own, 2 are trained service dogs and the other 2 are well behaved (but energetic) pups who all love other dogs. They have been my assistants for behavior modification when we work on reactivity in other dogs. My dogs are all crate trained and go in their crates to sleep or if we need to run an errand with the exception of my female, Julep. She typically stays out in the house when we leave unless one of our boarding dogs needs to roam. Boarding in our homes means that your dogs will get 2 long walks a day (I’m currently in a leg immobilizer so I am limited in the physical exercise I can provide outside) from my wonderful boyfriend who works for HFD. They will have 24/7 access to potty breaks and will not be left unattended for more than 4 hours. For everyone’s safety, we crate dogs if we are gone. Dogs unable to be crated can be left out either downstairs or upstairs, separated by a gate. We do not allow dogs from different families to stay out together unattended, however if you are boarding more than 1 of your own dogs who cannot be crated and/or are trusted to be left out together we can accommodate that. We have 24/7 2-way audio cameras in the house to ensure everyone’s safety if I do need to run out for anything. We have plenty of treats, toys, and puzzles to keep everyone entertained throughout the day and love taking well behaved and socialized dogs to Moanalua off leash dog park or Kuliouou beach park.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I’ve used this sitter twice. The first time was perfect with no issues. The second time, she was 30min late on drop off day. She said she had an emergency and just forgot about everything in life. That immediately turned me off. It made me think, if another emergency happens, will she just forget about my dog??? Unfortunately since it was extremely last second, I had no other option and had to wait for her and proceed with the sitting. She did apologize but 30min late to your own job with no communication/heads up is a really sucky thing to do. Especially since I had a flight to catch. She did send multiple pics during the stay so that was good. On pick up day, my dog and all of his items were a bit smelly. I know they’re not obligated to wash our pets but a wipe down or something would’ve been nice. Also, my retractable leash was broken and she didn’t even know how it happened.. I felt like I should’ve been reimbursed for that or at least be given a new leash or something. So unfortunately this second time around wasn’t a good experience and I’m not sure if I’ll be back.
The girls were so tired when they got back and Rain had the best updates. Will definitely book again 🙌🏽
Such a good experience. Multiple picture and status updates. Great communication. No stress, no problems. We’ll definitely be back 😁
Rain is awesome with weezey. Rain surely has grown on weezey and looks forward to her stay.
Great sitter, great communication, very accommodating, and takes great care of weezey who has special needs. She cares for weezey like her own.
Life saver when another sitter had scammed us. Wonderful care for my dog-son and just a lovely person. Will definitely use her again in the future.

Schedule
I’ve worked 7+ years in VetMed and behavior modification. I am currently home almost 24/7 due to an injury so I can provide round the clock care for our boarders.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a very structured home, morning walks before 6am and breakfast shortly after that (all dogs eat either in their own crate or in a separate area of the house as to not risk any resource guarding behavior). Multiple short bathroom walks throughout the day and constant access to an enclosed outdoor area for emergency bathroom breaks or fresh air. Dinner at 5pm and evening walks around 6/7pm when my boyfriend gets home from work. During the day dogs are either all out together or rotated through different areas if they don’t play well with others. We have tons of toys, beds, blankets, etc so you don’t need to supply your own. You are more than welcome to but one of my dogs is a shredder so I cannot guarantee anything soft/stuffed will make it back in one piece. I do my best but Julep really likes to disembowel toys and beds. We board at maximum 4 dogs at a time, which means 8 dogs in the house. If you have a special needs dog that you feel requires private booking please include that in your booking request so we can discuss their needs! At night we do our best to accommodate your pups regular sleeping routine. Whether that is crate, couch, floor, dog, our bed, etc.

A typical day
We previously lived a much more active lifestyle prior to my injury and I am limited while I recover/heal. Because of that I make it a point to offer tons of enrichment and mental stimulation throughout the day so nobody feels pent up. I offer homemade puzzles and frozen lick bowls to anyone that I feel needs a bit more stimulation to feel content. Overall, your dog can expect to receive all the love and attention you give it! I want them to feel as if they are right at home.
