“Hannah is an AMAZING sitter. All of my animals loved her. She did a great job looking after our mountain house and left it cleaner than we left it for her :) She was so responsive, I never had to wait to hear from her and she even checked on my chickens and gave them a special snack, which was so nice! I was so relieved to be able to trust someone completely while I was far away. Would 10/10 recommend ❤️”

“Corrine took great care of Monte and kept me updated and feeling confident with her in charge. She left my home clean and was great to work with.”

“Kaleta is amazing! The moment we met I knew she would care and love our animals and house as we do. She took great care of our dog who LOVED getting the exercise she needs with a 3 mile walk and daily park outings. We were spoiled with pictures of our fur-babies during our absence making us feel even more comfortable with our choice to use Kaleta. The most notable thing that set Kaleta apart is that she got our very elusive tortoiseshell cat out of hiding. This is no easy feat, so you know Kaleta is good people when she did this within a couple of days. We are so thankful for Kaleta and the wonderful service she provided. I highly recommend Kaleta!”

About: Aloha! I'm Bethany, and animals have been at the heart of my life and work for the past 5 years. 🐾 I have 5 years of professional experience working in animal welfare, caring for dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Through my work, I've had the privilege of helping thousands of animals—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets, shy animals, and those needing extra patience and understanding. My experience has taught me how to recognize animal body language, provide compassionate care, maintain routines, and help pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I will tailor my care to their individual needs. I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, and I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. As a lifelong animal lover living on Kauaʻi, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both you and your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged ‘ohana members! I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week. I understand that pets thrive on routine, and I do my best to accommodate their normal feeding, exercise, and enrichment schedules to help them feel comfortable while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and wellbeing are my highest priorities. With 5 years of professional animal welfare experience, I understand the importance of proper animal handling, recognizing body language, and creating a calm, low-stress environment. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, routine, and needs so I can provide individualized care and ensure they feel safe and secure while you're away. I believe communication is key, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, just as I would my own pets. I am attentive to home security, follow all owner instructions carefully, double-check gates, doors, harnesses, and leashes, and prioritize safety during walks and visits.

About: Apart from having my own 4 year old Shiba (Kuma), I’ve grown up around tons of dogs. My mom has a german shepherd and a black lab! I used to volunteer at the Humane Society when I was in high school and I even got to foster my own! With having Kuma, my roommate has two cats that i’m absolutely in love with! As a college student, i’m majoring in Biology and i love learning about animals. I can’t wait to meet your dog! Since i’m in college, I have a pretty set schedule as of right now. I’m available all day on the weekends (including friday) and monday and wednesday after 5pm. On tuesdays and thursdays, i’m off around 7pm. Hopefully this isn’t confusing but i’m available most of the days, and all of the days in the evening. I think it’s very important for a dog to get their sunlight and exercise in so i’m happy to take them to a park or walk around the block or even just play with them in the backyard/home! I’m pretty good with routines and pick up on things quickly. I’m good with cleaning up after your pet, whether it’s their poop/pee of just making a mess. Whatever you need me to do, i’m glad to do it!

About: I love all animals and they seem to love me too! I've been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was a child and have been pet and house sitting professionally for over 13 years. I have a calm and present personality which pets respond to well. I have many excellent reviews from pet and home owners both in the US and abroad which I would be happy to provide from other sites since I am new to Rover. I am in the process of relocating permanently to Hawaii and am currently available for overnight house and pet sitting preferably on Kauai or Maui. I am very responsible, clean and tidy, and lead a no-drama health conscious lifestyle. I am very detail oriented and enjoy connecting with each pet and providing loving care to them and the whole property. As my many referrals attest, I offer the utmost peace of mind to home owners when they travel.

About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I’ve cared for pets all my life—each with their own quirks, rhythms, and personalities—and I understand how deeply they become part of the family. When I care for someone’s animals, I treat them with the same love, gentleness, and attention I’d give my own. I work online while building my business, which gives me the freedom to be present with your pets throughout the day. Whether that means keeping them company while I work, going for long walks, or creating a calm, cozy space while you’re away, I’m there to make sure they feel loved and secure. I’m responsible, respectful, and genuinely enjoy forming bonds with the animals I care for. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your home just as you left it, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing everything is handled with care. At the heart of it all, my goal is simple: happy pets, peaceful homes, and your peace of mind while you’re away. I am currently working on building an online business. I mainly work from home, which allows me a lot of time to spend with furry friends. I am happy to learn the ins and outs of how you and your pet’s preferences.

About: YOUR PAWS ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH US :) :) Solution oriented, highly experienced with canines, and have a heart for helping people, and caring for animals...look no further. My wife Susie & I are originally from Missouri, and are high school sweethearts. We have lived on Kauai for 9 years, and are passionate in every way about dogs! We owned & operated a very successful in-home dog boarding business in Homer, Alaska for 3 years, where we averaged 6 dogs per day, and had almost 30 dogs staying with us on major holidays in our large 3-story home on five acres. We offered board & train services there as well. Besides boarding experience with all ages, breeds, and personalities, we have experience with training, breeding, volunteer vet work, canine healthcare, and have also served as dog handlers for an Iditarod sled dog team. Boarding with us: We have a wonderful home at the base of sleeping giant in the Wailua Homesteads in Kapaa. If your dog loves hiking, we certainly can fulfill that desire! We have cool tile flooring, and air conditioning for those hot Summer days, so there are no overheating concerns in our home. We have dog beds, human beds, and couches- all of which dogs are welcome on (we allow dogs to sleep with us too). We have a large backyard, and an enclosed back deck. We do not isolate our guests- they have complete freedom inside our home. When we go on walks, hikes, or trips- we utilize a leash for safety. We are not your average Rover sitters. We have such a great deal of experience, we know canine behavior, how to identify & treat health issues, how to adapt to every unique dog and their needs, and we care about our human customers just as much- acknowledging your specific needs & requests is very important to us, and we always maintain excellent communication. We are accustomed to some dog parents being hesitant and reluctant to leave their loved ones for a time, and we offer our support, reassurance, and patience with customers during that time, wether it be answering numerous questions, an extended delay to leave at drop-off, or several calls/texts requesting photos/updates- we're here for you, and completely understand. Feel free to reach out to us as often as you'd like while your dog(s) are with us to request updates/pics, otherwise we typically give you your space. We can pick-up and/or deliver your dog(s) to ANY location you’d like, just let us know (additional charges apply). Always stay in good communication with us regarding drop-off & pick-up days & times. Never arrive unannounced…we need notice before you are coming over (this is our home- not a commercial boarding facility with staff). What to bring at drop-off:  
1. Food- enough for the length of your dog's stay with us. Sealed containers with kibble are preferred. We do not store guest dog food in our fridge, so please bring appropriate food (no frozen, cooked, or raw foods that need stored in our fridge or freezer). 
2. Collar (or harness) & leash. ***Dogs must be kept on leash during drop-off & pick-up*** Please do not let them exit your vehicle upon arrival unless they are leashed. Same goes for pick-up...keep them on lead from our door to your vehicle please. Dogs that we DO NOT accept into our home for boarding (PLEASE READ CAREFULLY): 1. Aggressive dogs (aggressive towards humans or other dogs) 2. Dogs that have fleas 3. Intact males 4. Intact females during their heat cycle 5. Dogs that have extreme separation anxiety 6. Dogs that have accidents inside or not fully potty-trained (or mark inside) 7. Excessive barkers 8. Escape artists 9. Dogs that are destructive when left home alone House sitting: We offer premium house sitting services island-wide. We do require to meet with you first at your property to make sure it's a good fit, as we are very selective on where we stay, and who we're working with for live-in house sitting jobs. We're experienced home owners ourselves. Besides estate caretakers, we have been entrusted with the care and management of farms- both vegetable & orchard farms, & also livestock farms. We have personally owned dairy cows ourselves, and also have experience caring for horses, llamas, alpacas, sheep, goats & chickens. We are excellent with property management! Between Susie & myself, we also have experience with carpentry, electrical, plumbing, painting, power washing, house cleaning using natural non-toxic cleaning products, landscaping/lawn care, & tree pruning/hazardous tree removal. We are very well connected here on Kauai, and anything we don't know or can't handle ourselves- we know someone who can. We are caretakers at heart, and caring for animals is what we do best. We are the trustworthy family you have been looking for! We LOVE our job! We do not isolate dogs (unless owner requests us to), or it is absolutely necessary (we usually don't accept dogs for most of the reasons they may need to be isolated anyways). We treat them like they are part of our family (and they truly are while with us). The way we care for dogs varies specifically on a case by case basis. No two dogs, or owners, are the same, so we go with the flow (and requests/requirements/best interests) of the dogs & their owners wishes.

“Lindsay is amazing! Can't say enough. She takes amazing care of my puppy Daisy, is really responsive and easy to work with. She has also taken amazing care of my rental while I am here on a longer stay. Very responsible and trustworthy...and super thoughtful/sweet.”

About: Thank you for looking at my profile. I looooove pets and it is my joy to assist your pet needs. I offer walking, hiking and exercising options, pet/house sitting, and house visits. I work online and am able to adjust my hours around to accommodate your needs. I love getting outside with the pets consistently or just loving them up. It’s a mutually beneficial service. It brings my heart joy. I have a consultation with each client on what the pets needs are and adjust as needed. I offer a kind, and joyful space and company for your loved one.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11. I love to take them on long walks, trips to the park, and out for a “pup-cup”. Recently my 14 year old golden retriever passed away, so I’m hoping to share my love with others’ pets that are in need of care! I’m currently working remotely full-time so would plan to work from your home while I’m watching your furry ones. This is an ideal solution as your pet is guaranteed focused attention and multiple bathroom breaks or walks per day. I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I love to make sure their needs are met & exceeded, plenty of pets/love are given, and that we send picture updates while you’re away! I am quiet & respectful and love to keep spaces clean, so I will treat your home as my own.
