House Sitting in Princeville

“Lina has done house sitting for my dog Zues twice now. Each of these trips were long weekend outings. Both times I have come home to my house exactley as I left it and my dog disappointed I'm not Lina! Just kidding! But I can tell he has a good time with her and that she gives him plenty of attention while I'm gone. Lina stays in good contact with me while I'm away, and will send pictures if you ask for them. In a nutshell, Lina is trustworthy, caring for your pet, clean and reliable. In my book that's all you need!”

“Thank you Lindsey for caring for our fur babies while we were away! Our pups can be a bit of a handful, but she gave them so much love and fun while we were away. We were sent multiple pictures each day of them on adventures and it made us so happy!”

Kathleen T.

“Trinity was an absolute gem! I came home from my trip to 3 happy pups, and she constantly sent pictures and kept me in the loop with texts while I was away. She was also very flexible to be able to accommodate my fur babies, which I greatly appreciated being a holiday, last minute booking! I hope to book with Trinity again!”

“Lily was absolutely wonderful! This was our first experience using Rover and thanks to her it will not be our last. She took such great care of our two pups and kept us updated throughout the weekend. She is trustworthy, reliable, and responsible - we will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Madison is always so nice to work with. She and Fuji get along great and we know he is happy and in good hands from the photos we receive.”

About: I have been practicing in the Healing Arts for over 30 years. I first earned a BFA in Modern Dance in 1982 and then received my Massage Therapy certification in 1985. Since then I have continued to study different healing modalities and have been deepening in my practice ever since. I have always felt a very special connection with animals and LOVE being around and caring for them. I have been living back and forth between Kauai island and Boulder, Colorado for about 15 years now and am now opening to new horizons as well! Since my traveling lifestyle hasn't allowed me to have my own pets, house and pet sitting have allowed me to have animals closely in my life. I also love caring for plants and gardens. Something that my mother taught me is to always leave places cleaner than how you found them. This has been my motto and has served me very well. I have 14 years of experience taking care of animals in their homes and have many excellent references upon request. I'm new to this platform so i only have a few reviews here. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to taking care of your pets and home! I work only very part time as a Massage Therapist, usually only taking one session at a time, so I have a lot of time to devote to watching over your animals, which will be my priority! I feel that it is best for animals to be in their own home when their parents are gone, so my work is done at the animals home.

About: Just moved to the Hawaii life to enjoy my retirement. However, I have taken on a part time job until my pet sitting business builds up.I am an energetic outgoing fly by the seat of her pants gal. Dogs are my first love from a young girl I’ve loved and they have loved me. I’m a home body who loves to give attention and utmost care to your for your animals. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions I’d love to be there so you can know your loved ones are home safe in my care. I am a retired nurse. I just moved to Kauai to live with my daughter and her family. Let’s see what we can make happen for you and your fur babies. I do dog park runs! Walks! Beach exercise! Whatever you need I’m your gal. Lots of quality time to connect! I am well versed in dogs with special needs.

“Megan was simply amazing! She hit it off with Boone right away. She has a loving and caring spirit and we will definitely book with her again! She is a gem!”

“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my 9-year-old golden doodle, Reggie, while I was abroad for two weeks. Alex treated Reggie as if he were his own, giving me complete peace of mind throughout my trip. He sent frequent updates and adorable pictures, which really made me feel connected even from far away. On top of that, Alex went above and beyond by providing Reggie with homemade food, regular showers, and fun-filled park days. Reggie was clearly well cared for and comfortable, thanks to Alex’s thoughtful attention. I highly recommend Alex for any pet-sitting needs!”

“Once again Diana knocked it out of the park staying at our home with our fur babies. I tend to ask for too much (like watering my plants while I’m away) and she took care of everything. Just effortless kindness and grace. I 1000% recommend her services and will definitely rebook! Love you girl!”

Adnama Y.

“Holly was outstanding! What a relief to find such a kind, loving pet sitter! Holly stayed in our home so our dog and cat could live their normal routines without a care in the world. Thank you, Holly. ”

“Jules does a fantastic job of taking are of our two pups AND our house. Our 2 mini-schnauzers are a bit demanding and they absolutely LOVE Jules. We’ve hired Jules twice now and would absolutely use them again.”

Jeanne K.

“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: Dogs have been in my family my whole life and I was a dog mom for at least 20 years. I know firsthand how our furry BFF’s are FAMILY and how important it is to have trustworthy and reliable care for them when we have to be away. I travel a lot, and by far, pet care was always the #1 stressor in planning and being away! My sweet guy was quirky and anxious, and towards the end he had a lot of special care needs. I always worried about if he was getting all his needs met or if maybe he was too much for others to deal with compassionately. Our sitter was a genuinely great guy who loved our sweet boy so much, so I knew and trusted he was fine but I still went through these feelings every time! So now, as a sitter myself, I can promise you that I will care for you sweet boy or girl as if they were my own family because that’s what I loved in my own sitter! My place is only about 10 minutes away from the airport, so it’s very convenient for quick drop-off and pick-up on your way if you’re traveling. I work FT from home M-F so there’s time for a walk before and/or after work, and then I am available for frequent potty breaks throughout the day as needed I have a well fenced in yard and we are two doors down from a park. The park is tucked away in our community so there’s not much traffic and it’s very safe. We don’t usually see other dogs there, but plenty of chickens. I’m sorry, but my yard does not have a sheltered space so I can’t host outdoor pets. I can only host pets who are full-time indoor pets and fully house trained. I do have most basic pet supplies (bowls, leashes, crate for den style napping and an elevated bed, etc.)

“Right off the bat, we found that Kaleta is a such warm and friendly person! She’s also very reliable, trustworthy and it’s evident she gave a lot of loving care. I came home to a very happy kitty, along with a cleaner house than I left her with! I sincerely felt at peace the entire time I was gone. She’s a true gem, and Shambala and I are very blessed to have her in our life!”

“Jack did great. Our dogs really loved him and we will definitely book again!”

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.

About: As of May 2025, I relocated from Santa Fe New Mexico to the island of Kauai. House and pet sitting provides a fabulous opportunity to get the know the island and her people in a unique way! While living in Santa Fe over the past year, I have been housesitting for friends and clients who frequently travel to Europe on extended visits. Each time they returned from their journey's, they found their homes well maintained, tidy and organized. My experience with animals primarily comes from my ownership of 9 dogs spanning over three decades. I also briefly owned a bird while in college and grew up with 4 feline friends as a child. Each one of these precious animals holds a special place in my heart. Since I currently do not own any pets, I cherish the company and companionship of others' pets. I've had successful vegetable and flower gardens in my backyard in the past and would enjoy watering and caring for your garden as well as any other duties, like bringing in the mail, taking out the trash and of course, cleaning up when my visit is concluded. I am a solo traveler and would welcome the opportunity to sit your home and pets while acclimating to life on Kauai-offering you peace of mind with a responsible and mature sitter. I am a former teacher which will offer plenty of flexibility in my schedule for walks and care of your pets as well as looking after the property. I will do everything I can to make sure your beloved pets receive the best care while you are away from home! Understanding your specific needs for your home and/or pet, I will carry out all instructions, keeping the routine of your home/pet(s) in sync with what is the norm. All exercise needed, play-time, meal times and any other specific requests for the home that we agree on will be carried out. I have been praised for leaving homes tidy and clean.

About: I grew up in Connecticut with my best friend and golden retriever, Ginger, who I took care of for 13 years, taking her on walks, feeding her, brushing her, and giving her so much love and affection! I have 6+ years of professional paid dog-sitting experience during my time in CT, as well as 2+ years of home pet-boarding and sitting services while I was a student at Chapman University in Orange, CA. I have professional experience with dogs of all kinds, cats, turtles, and hamsters! I love dog-walking, music, going to the beach, spending time outside in the sunshine, cooking/baking, art, gardening, writing, and reading! In my daily life, I work as a Creative Producer. Photography/videography is a large passion of mine, and I love to create. I will take the best care (and pictures) of your pets! :) The most important thing to know is that I'm trustworthy. My years of experience and genuine love for all animals is why I understand finding good pet care is hard and is important for everyone. I worried about my dog boarding when I went on travels and being able to find someone trustworthy to take care of her. Your furry friends will be safe in my care and I'd be happy to answer any safety questions and concerns.

About: As a dog mom myself, my biggest issue was finding affordable & reliable care for my fur babies while im away from home… So it’s been my goal since October 2023 was to provide that service for other dog pawrents here on Kaua’i. I was previously raising Retrievers before I started pet sitting. But now dog sit full time, 7 days a week. I’m available about 300 days of the year. However I do book up very fast during Spring, Summer, Fall, & Winter break. So please reach out in advance. I will try my best to accommodate anyone. I’m located 8 minutes from the airport in a quiet, and safe neighborhood. I have a 6’ high vinyl fence surrounding my yard, & gates that are locked at all times. I’m able to take any pups AFTER 8AM, So please book the day prior if you’re needed services earlier than that. Each day I’m busy with atleast 1 to 5 dogs per day. Which vary between daycare pups & overnight boarding pups. Most of the dogs who come here are all weekly daycare dogs, repeat boarding dogs, or are monthly visitors. I care for my daycare and boarding pups in a pack environment. Where everyone interacts with each other based on activity levels or size. But if I feel your pup isn’t good with certain pups, that is fine as well and he/she will be able to stay separated. They’re able to roam free all day, except when I have to leave the house for an errand or go to bed. That’s when each dog needs to be in a secured place.. either crated on the patio or inside the house in the kitchen. Our daily schedule starts at 6:30am. The dogs are let out of their crates/the kitchen to go potty in the fenced yard. Then I’ll normally let them roam around for an hour or two till I prep their breakfast (just for the ones who eat twice). Then the dogs go back into their crates to rest their stomachs for 1 hour. During the day the dogs can interact and play with each other, rest on the patio, under the gazebo, or sunbathe in the yard. The dogs have free roam of the yard all day, except if I have to run an errand or when I go to bed around 11pm. That’s when they will be put into their individual crates/pens. I’m all about safety, & cleanliness. The gates are always locked for your pups safety, the yard is sanitized atleast 2x a day, and I always have an eye on the pups.
