“Thank you for watching our baby! Lauren kept us posted on how our dog Poppy was doing & we could tell Poppy was having a great time! Loved that Lauren works from home so was able to stay in our home and work and hang out with our dog most of the day. Lauren also cleaned the guest room & bathroom & the house was spotless which is always so nice to come home from a trip - thank you so much!”
About: I grew up surrounded by pets. I have formed a special connection with animals over these years and my only problem will be saying goodbye to your pet when it's time for me to go home. I'm responsible, dependable and can adapt to the needs of any pet! I have a very flexible schedule and can leave work at any time! Just tell me how often your pet needs me and I'll be there! I start by building trust with your pet. Once I feel I've created a bond with your pet I gauge whether it's time to play, go on a walk or get them a form of exercise. When I'm home with your pet I make sure to keep the energy relaxed and positive.
“Carla is top notch at taking care of my French Bulldog Mitch! He didn’t even seem to miss me. Which is a great thing for me. Carla asked a lot of important questions and took amazing care of our home. I will definitely have her take care of Mitch again!”
About: Hi! My name is James. I work from home as a podcast agent and have a very active lifestyle. I’m a digital nomad so I travel frequently, I make my own hours so I can be flexible! I started dog sitting in 2024 originally through referrals, then through Trusted House Sitters, now on to Rover! I have done sits up to 4 months long in Hawaii and as short as 2 days in Belgium, I can be flexible with scheduling. I truly love being around dogs, I go on walks frequently and I love having a companion as I travel. I’ve had dogs all my life and realizing rover would be a great way of connecting me with great dogs and opportunities! Your pets safety and happiness are paramount. I aim to keep a stress free environment and to ensure you know everything is taken care of. Feel free to ask any questions or reach out, I’d be happy to have a chat to show you why I’d be a great sitter :). I work online, so travel has become a huge priority for me and a way i've found routine is staying at peoples homes for a few months, while watching their dog! Oh i've had dogs all my life, they are family to me in every way, most breaks I take throughout the day are to give my dog some love or take her potty
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! 🐾 PREMIUM DOG WALKING & ENRICHMENT ON KAUAʻI MORE THAN A WALK. A LITTLE ADVENTURE FOR YOUR DOG.

My approach is Fear Free, enrichment-based, and positive reinforcement-focused. I believe dogs communicate with us constantly through their body language, and understanding that communication is an important part of providing safe, respectful care. Whether your dog is energetic and adventurous, needs help building confidence, gets easily overstimulated, or simply loves having an extra adventure during the day, I'll meet them where they are. AVAILABLE 7 DAYS A WEEK I am currently accepting a limited number of recurring walking clients.

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 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.

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.
“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.”
About: My experience with dogs started at my home. I've had 2 dogs at home for 10 years, but my relatives all have four-legged friends, so I've always given them help when they couldn't be around. My experience in America began here in California with two very sweet poodles with whom I shared my weekends. Then I met three other fantastic friends, so I decided to register on this site to find other four-legged friends in the area❤️ I'm an Italian au pair, my schedule is constant and organised, but I'll be available every day of the week 🤩 I am also available during the weekend. I plan on caring for pets in my clients home ! I will give them the exercise they need, play fetch, feed them and play/cuddle with them ❤️ even watch tv with them if that’s the kind of company they like

We went all the way to the east coast, for a week, and we were so grateful Kaleta could watch our senior dog. She kept us updated with photos and texts and the house was clean when we got home. Definitely will be booking her again for a future trip. Seamus loves his Auntie Kaleta!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Puhi walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Puhi maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Puhi choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
