“Cathy went above and beyond with our pets and house while we were gone for the holidays and we can’t thank her enough! She was great with communication, is familiar with the island and great with animals. I don’t think I’ve ever returned from a trip to find our pets so relaxed and well cared for :) thanks Cathy!!”

5. Angela K.
“I cannot thank Angela enough for taking such wonderful care of my two cats during my recent 3 week business trip! I had to leave on short notice, and she stepped in without hesitation. Angela came by daily to check on them, making sure they were fed and entertained. I loved getting regular updates and photos, my cats looked so happy and relaxed! It really gave me the time to focus on my job knowing they were in such good hands. Angela is not only reliable but also genuinely cares about animals. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my babies. I’ll definitely be reaching out for future trips. I’m so grateful for your help!”


6. Meg R.

“Meg was a wonderful sitter for Julep! She was very responsive when I checked in, and provided lots of photos and information about the fun she was having with Julep while I was out of town. I would 100% recommend her to anyone and will definitely seek her out to book again in the future.”


7. Austin H.

“Austin was great. He and his wife communicated constantly, they always sent us pictures, the dogs were extremely happy when we got back from our trip and the house was spotless. Would absolutely recommend.”


8. Jody P.


“Jody was fantastic! She stayed at our house with our 2 dogs while we were away and made sure both the dogs and house were well cared for. We will absolutely be using her again and recommend her to anyone! ”


9. Christopher G.

“Christopher was professional, respectful, and took great care of our dog! He kept us updated while we were away, which gave us piece of mind since we haven't left our dog since we got him. We appreciated Christopher's communication with us and will use him in the future. Thank you!”


10. Shelby & Jesse K.

“We are so grateful for Shelby’s help with our two large, high-energy dogs. From the moment we met her, we felt completely confident in her care. She is an excellent communicator, keeping in touch before and during our trip—even sending pictures of our dogs having a wonderful time. Her ability to stay full-time at our home was especially valuable for our senior girl, who needs a little extra support. Reliable and responsive—both rare qualities here on the island—Shelby exceeded our expectations. We’ve already booked her for our next trip and feel so lucky to have found her. Thank you, Shelby!”




11. Maren P.


“Maren was great! You can tell she really has the touch with dogs. Our shy and nervous dog was immediately comfortable with her, which made us comfortable too. She was quick to respond to us throughout the week beforehand and she just made the entire process easy. We'd love to have her sit with Nola again in the future.”


12. Béla B.
“Great sitter! Very responsible and made our dogs needs her first priority. Plenty of text and picture updates which we loved. Highly recommend!”


13. Aileenmarie A.
“She is the best! She treats your dog like her own! She also sends updates via text with photos showing all the fun they are having. She watched my baby Zena for about a week and the entire time I did not worry one bit about Zena because I knew she was in good hands. You will not regret leaving your dog with Aileen! She is the only person I trust to watch my baby!!”


14. Kara M.
“Kara is a wonderful pet sitter! She truly cares about the animals and even takes the extra time to cater to their oddities. Whether it’s special feeding or extra plays, Kara takes the time to give our fur kids the care they deserve.”


15. Spencer W.

“Spencer takes incredible care of my sweet kitty, Knives. I can tell he has a soft spot for animals, since she felt comfortable with him right off the bat. Thank you, Spencer, for your love and care!”


16. Lahi V.


“Lahi watched Cloud our three year old dog at our house while we went on vacation. Not only did we come back to a relaxed pooch (he suffers from anxiety) but the house was well cared for and clean and ready for us to fall asleep after a long journey home. All of our care instructions were met perfectly. Highly recommend Lahi for in-Home visits!”


17. Rachel E.
“As a devoted dog lover, Rachel's friendly nature immediately set me at ease. Her property is fully fenced, ensuring a safe, spacious play area for dogs. The well-kept grassy yard allows dogs plenty of room for fun and exercise. Rachel's own sociable dogs, Barli and Ehu, were an added bonus, creating a delightful playdate environment for my dog, Choomba. Their interaction always left Choomba wagging her tail in excitement, clearly enjoying her visits. Rachel's service exceeds basic dog sitting, providing a safe, fun, and welcoming environment that my Choomba loves. I have total confidence in her and would recommend her to anyone seeking an excellent, friendly dog sitter.”


18. Ashley S.
About: When I was growing up I would work at my neighbors farm and help with all the animals. She had dogs, cats, horses, goats,chicken, any animal you can think of I've probably been around. Yes even birds lol I'm currently remodeling a house. I have 4 dogs myself and am watching a friend's dogs at the moment. I have a big spacious backyard with lots of room for playing and running and getting all those zoomies out. For the dogs that love sticks don't worry I have plenty in my backyard. I have a fenced in yard. I plan to buy more toys and treats once this wonderful opportunity takes off. I'll make sure they're well taken care of and given the most amount of attention.


19. Cailey E.
About: Had a family dog at my dad growing up. Always had cats around. Had a some pet rats and fish throughout the years. Been learning a lot in the months now that I’ve rescued my dog. Would combine caring for your dog with my own. Love going on walks and hike along with lounging around. Like to help out other fellow dogs and their owners because been finding out work with a furry loved one at home is not always ideal. Following golden rule, treat others and pets we want to be treated. And the Hawaiian golden rule, leave a place better than how you found it. With love and respect.


20. Kirston S.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats every since I can remember. I have experience training puppies, raising kind pit bulls and taken care of elderly animals gently and compassionately with lots of love. I am currently starting up my yoga business. Classes are 3 days a week. Most days I am home gardening or at the beach. I have more then enough time to share with a fur baby or 4!!! I have a 1/4 acre with plenty of room for animals to enjoy. I just added in a fenced in area to my side yard. Perfect for allowing pups to run off leash. I can walk the dogs around the yard and the neighborhood. They would be treated like family. My home is my sanctuary. My home very peaceful, quiet and serene. I love to play with animals
