House Sitting Puhi

About: Hello! I can offer sitting, drop in visits, and walking for cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. I have worked closely with a veterinarian and a vet tech and have certifications in animal behavior and training. I have taken care of many cats and dogs throughout my years and have fostered kittens as well. I sincerely love all animals and hope to provide all necessary care and attention to yours and will make sure to treat them as if they were my own. I will make sure to communicate with you and keep you updated about your pet and make sure that they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times. I hope you choose me to take care of your beloved pets as it would be a wonderful privilege and experience. Sincerely, Sophia Pearce I have a flexible schedule, especially in the evenings. My shifts are typically finished between 12pm-3pm, and I have Thursdays and Fridays off. However, this can change as I’m in the tourism industry. I have training in safety and animal behavior and will take care of them as if they were my own pets and communicate any issues if necessary.

“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!”

“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!”

About: We have raised all types of dogs. From working dogs to avalanche dogs. Even wolf dogs. I have been involved with dogs my whole life. They are part of our family I am around the house all day. I have different fenced areas for the dogs to play. I also have different apartments the dogs can stay in. But i prefer all the dogs live and eat and sleep around us. I go on 1-2 walks a day. The Back of our property is a fenced 1acre fruit forest we allow the dogs to sit on couches and we have multiple dog beds around the house.

“Alex did an excellent job. We came home to a clean house and happy animals. Our instructions were followed quite well. Will definitely book again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for 8 years! I currently work part time at a dive shop right across the street from my house! I work part time throughout the week and have a pretty flexible schedule. I work nearby and can easily check in during the day and have frequent breaks! I offer both boarding in my home and care in your home, depending on what is best for your pet. My home is warm, pet-friendly, and shared with 3 other people who also love animals so your pet will get plenty of attention and affection.

“Our pup adores Greg, and so do we! Greg kept our sweet pup exercised, rested, fed, happy, entertained and safe while we were on our first trip away from our little guy. We felt so happy knowing Mookie was in Greg’s capable hands. Would recommend Greg to anyone, and can’t wait to have him with our sweet pup again soon. Thanks, Greg!”

“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!”

“We have 2 chihuahuas, a 1 year old and a 6 month old, that are extremely special to us. We have never left them alone for more than a few hours, so with an upcoming week long trip out of town, we were worried about leaving them. We heard about Rover and researched all the potential house sitters, we were so thankful to have found Sierra. Not only were we concerned about our puppy and temperamental 1 year old, we were nervous about having a stranger in house, coming, going, and spending the night. However, we were relieved and thrilled how professional she was, so friendly, sweet, calm, & respectful with our dogs and our home. She popped over to our place the day before we left town to acquaint herself with us, the dogs, and our house. Then she stayed 6 sequential nights and days, fed them twice a day, doled out copious treats, took them on car rides, walks, hikes, and to the beach, as well as played and cuddled with them at every night. Even our skittish 1 year old dog, after a day or so, along with our love-bug puppy, fell in love with her, and probably miss her now. She sent us status updates 2 or even 3 times a day, sharing photos of the pups on their adventures, lounging around the house, and cozy in bed with her at night, which quelled our nerves and made us happy so we could enjoy our trip. Also, she cared for our house, she was immaculate as there was not a dish in the sink or pillow and towel out of place, she cleaned up any pee spots, and even re-made the bed for us with fresh sheets for our return home. She was wonderful to work with and we look forward to booking her again for our upcoming wedding week out of town in a couple months, we highly recommend her! Thank you Sierra! :) April, Edis, Charlie & CJ”

About: My name is Chrissy! Since a very young age, I have always had a special spot in my heart for animals of all kinds, although it’s especially soft for dogs 🐕 I have raised and cared for many different breeds of dogs, all sizes too! I have experience with puppies, special needs and elderly animals. Most of my time is dedicated to caring for animals, while my husband manages a skate shop (he’s a dog whisperer too) & our littles are very respectful, loving and kind with all the different animals we’ve been blessed to spend time with. We are a pretty active family, always outside exploring & appreciating what the universe has given us. We love a long walk on the beach and we’d love for your pup to join us! 🌊 Mahalo nui loa for your consideration in choosing me to care for your loved one. 🐶 🐱 ❤️ My schedule is completely open for boarding, check ins, daily walks and doggy day care. Please feel free to message me with any questions regarding scheduling and pricing. I am more than capable of providing your pups with plenty of enrichment, exercise and companionship. Whether it’s a beach day, daily walks, or help administering medications - I’m your girl! I have my own transportation and am available between the areas of Kalihiwai to Kapa’a.

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.

“Best pet love care I have had. Aubrey is attentive, thoughtful, and professional. My little doggo was very well cared for. Excellent communication, and care. Very grateful!”

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: 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

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
