Pet Sitting & Drop Ins in Nuuanu-Punchbowl, Honolulu

“We came back from our trip yesterday morning and both of the kitties are waiting by the front door for Janey to come back. I’m so glad she accepted our request because the care and love that Vasquez and Hicks received was phenomenal. Hicks can be pretty temperamental and I’m pretty sure he’s in love with her forever! I highly, highly recommend Janey and we’re already planning to book with again! <3”

“Sydney is amazing! She truly went above and beyond for our two cats. She was flexible and receptive to their special needs, provided detailed updates and adorable photos, and added an immense sense of ease to our trip knowing they were in such great hands. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for kind, thoughtful, and reliable care in the area.”

“Whitney was so good with our pup - she really went the extra mile in making sure he was cared for and kept us in the loop of everything. Can't recommend her more :)”

“Haley is quick to respond to request and demonstrates great communication. She left a detailed River card which I appreciate. I will definitely be booking Haley again in the near future! She also took great pics of Ekolu:)”

“Just want to update my last review: I have been booking with Ryan repeatedly since July 2018, and have been extremely happy with him. He is great with my dog, who adores Ryan, and loves to go on walks with him. As a repeat client, I think Ryan really tries to accommodate my last-minute requests. Very pleased overall!!”

About: Aloha! I’m Nea, a born-and-raised Kaua‘i girl now living in Honolulu near Ala Moana. I’ve grown up around and owned animals my whole life—horses, chickens, bunnies, birds, cats, and of course, dogs—and I’m truly an all-around animal lover! I get so much joy out of spending time with animals and helping care for others’ furry friends. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior needing a little extra TLC, or a quirky dog with specific routines, I genuinely love getting to know each one’s unique personality. I’ve raised and owned Border Collies and Australian Shepherds (you can see my parents dog, Tucker, a blonde collie, featured in a number of my photos), so I’m especially comfortable with high-energy breeds. However, I’ve worked with dogs of all types and temperaments. I’ve been a dog walker and sitter throughout high school and college, and through Rover for several years while living in NYC and back on Kaua‘i—so in total, I’ve been doing this as a side gig for about 15 years now. I’ve cared for everything from a tiny Chihuahua named Lolo to a 180lb Great Dane named Pebbles to a reactive hound named George who only did night walks. No matter the service (walks, drop-ins, etc), I treat every pet I work with like part of my family and love making their day brighter (and yours a little easier). My husband and I lost our beloved dog Logan last year due to cancer and, while we aren’t quite ready to welcome another pup into our home full-time, we’ve both gotten so much fulfillment from helping out other pet parents. I work from home as an education policy consultant, and I’m very lucky that my job offers a lot of flexibility and autonomy in scheduling. My workday typically starts early since my team is based on the mainland, which means I often wrap up by lunchtime and have plenty of time to spend with pups. Even during working hours, I can usually shift meetings or build in breaks to fit in a walk or drop-in visit. Overall, I’m able to accommodate most pet care routines. Whether it’s a quick morning walk, a lunchtime drop-in, or a longer afternoon outing for an energetic pup, I’m happy to tailor care to whatever works best for your dog! Weekends are also often wide open, and I’m more than happy to take clients then as well. At the moment, I’m unable to offer overnights or boarding in my home, but I do provide walks, drop-in visits, and in-your-home sitting throughout Honolulu. When I’m caring for your pup—whether I’m stopping by for a quick visit or staying for longer—you can count on me to treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own. I make it a point to send regular, thorough updates and plenty of photos throughout my time with your pet. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friend with someone else, and I want to ease that as much as possible for my clients by keeping you informed and connected every step of the way! I’m dependable, communicative, and focused on making sure both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease. I keep routines consistent, follow your instructions closely, and am always prepared to respond quickly if something unexpected comes up.

“Isabel is very responsible and very good at playing with cats. She sent me many photos including one with a high-jumping cat that I’ve never seen my cat do. My cats clearly enjoyed Isabel’s visits.”

“We’ve been using Lyndi for a couple years now — always super reliable and takes such good care of our “old lady” (almost 18YO cat). Highly recommended if you need someone to watch your fur babies!”

About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I. We hike daily and if your pup is active, they are more than welcome to join us on any hikes that we do! Or if they just like simple short walks that’s great too! I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!

“Great service and took good care of our kitties. They were well fed and kept the litter boxes and water filled. Also took out the trash which was very nice after our long 2 week trip.”

“We had a last minute cancelation and so we found Lauren on Rover and she was able to meet with me the same day. Lauren did a great job with Skoshi. She made notes and took pictures for each day and went above and beyond what was asked of her. Would highly recommend.”

“Jada watched my cats for a couple of days. One of them can be shy but they both warmed right up to her. She did a great job and I plan on using her again.”

Jim C.

“Maile took excellent care of my cat while I was away! She was polite, friendly, communicative, and super mindful of the instructions I left her. I especially appreciate the care she took to keep the food and litter box clean so I didn't come home to a dirty apartment. I would definitely book with her again :)”

Kara T.

“Gabby was very sweet with our cat, not to mention super diligent and responsive. She sent thoughtful, regular updates and even handled an emergency situation at our house while we were traveling. Will definitely be using her services again!!”

About: Hi I’m Chelsea! Dogs have always had my heart, and I am so excited to spend time with yours! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and currently have a senior pup, so caring for furry friends is second nature to me. I truly love all animals, and meeting dogs on the street is honestly the highlight of my day. I’m all about making sure your pup feels safe, loved, and has the best time while you’re away. 🤗 I am currently a college student and because of that, have learned to manage my time well, allowing me to prioritize pet care. I’m available on Tuesdays and weekends, giving me plenty of time to make sure your pet gets the love and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific instructions they provide. I prioritize creating a calm and safe environment for their pets, offering them plenty of attention and care. I also ensure that the home is kept clean and that the pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away.

About: My family got our first dog when I was 7 years old and I have always been involved in her care, from training her as a puppy to crating, walking, feeding, playing, and administering medicine when she was near the end of her life. I have housesit for neighbors to watch their pets as well as drop in visits. I have experience with a wide range of dog sizes, breeds, and ages. I currently work full time in Kāne`ohe as a marine biologist but am really missing pets in my life as my landlord does not allow them. I get off work at 3pm and am available for morning/afternoon drop ins or can be with them full time on the weekends. I am a loving, patient, gentle person who enjoys playing with dogs and cats and going for walks. I unfortunately cannot board your pet in my home but I am respectful of other people’s homes and would be honored to help care for your pets.

About: For the past 10 years, I’ve become the designated puppysitter for all my friends and neighbors. I have experience with a multitude of breeds: golden doodles, frenchies, pitbulls, and chihuahua mixes. I love all animals and always have so much fun taking care of them. I’m free after 11am almost every morning. I’m a writer so I have a very flexible schedule and don’t have to report anywhere in person. Usually owners give me specific instructions for the usual times they walk their dogs and I follow that to keep the dog on the same schedule. I have no problem getting up early to keep a dog at whatever the owners usual schedule is. I also love to cuddle and play with the dogs until they tire themselves out and fall asleep.
