House Sitting in Puunene

“Carey took very good care of our boy while we were gone. She sent us pictures every day and made several trips for his rides and going to the park. He really warmed up to her and we will be using her again when needed.”

“Rachael took excellent care of our furbabies - we got lots of picture updates and felt great about her communication throughout. I would recommend Rachael to anyone looking for someone to help with care for their pups.”

“5 stars! We have a high maintenance border collie and an anxious rescue pointer-mix. They bonded with Johnathan who sent daily photos of walks, frisbee, etc. Johnathan telecommutes so he could work while house sitting and hanging out with our dogs, which is what they're used to. Highly recommend; friendly, reliable, and responsible.”

“Casey took care of our pup while we were off island for a weekend; he even brought him his new favorite toy. Casey is very pleasant and we felt very comfortable with him after our meet and greet. He sent updates with pictures and left our place just as we left it. Our dog had a great time with him and we would definitely work with him again!”

“I felt very confident and extremely pleased of how Jency cared for my most precious 4 yorkies. She also kept the house clean as I’d left it. I’m very happy and would definitely request for her again!”

About: I have been house sitting dogs and cats since 2015. I hold a degree in zoology with a concentration in animal behavior. I have a vet tech background here on Maui and have cared for hundreds of pets. I have a strong intuition when it comes to caring for animals and do my best to cater to each individual's needs. I am trustworthy, understanding, considerate, and a hard worker. I am also a very good communicator. For Cats: I started loving cats when I volunteered as a Cat Comforter at my local humane society growing up! I have pet sat for many wonderful cats over the years and used to work as a vet tech here on Maui. I pay very close attention to a cat's behaviors, always monitoring their health, to fully understand what they want and need! They are truly interesting and incredible beings and I tried to cater to every individual's comfort level. My hours of availability vary week to week but I will absolutely prioritize clients, their pets, and their needs to the best of my abilities! Not currently providing home services but will happily do drop in visits or house sit to make sure your pet is comfortable while you are away. For walks I am happy to take your pet to the park, go on walks ranging in mileage, or go on a run with them!

“My clan immediately fell in love! I think our home was cleaner than when we left it and the dogs and cat were happy and healthy and in harmony! Looking forward to next time! Thank you!”

About: As a lifelong pet owner, I have looked after many diverse pets for friends, family, and clients on a regular basis for as long as I can remember. I pride myself on being responsible and adherent to your rules and preferences. I will treat your pets like family! I am not new to pet-sitting, but I am very new to Rover! I am a substitute teacher, so my best availability is on weekends, but I am happy to arrange services for after school as well. Notes on housesitting: if your dog cannot go 6-7 hours without a potty break while I am in school, you would need to hire an additional dog walker for either late morning or noon(ish). I can specify in advance which days I would be teaching! While I cannot bring your pets into my own home space or car, I am happy to come to you and treat your home space with the utmost respect. If you would like me to take your pet for outings during housesitting services, it would need to be in one of your own vehicles.

“Cameron stayed for the weekend with our two dogs, one is older and needs medication and the other is younger but nervous, and we were super happy with Cameron’s attention to the dogs and our home! He took out you here dog to the dog beach which was awesome, and sent us pictures throughout the stay. Absolutely recommend him. Thanks Cameron!”

“Just home from our trip. Jennifer did a great job. Good communication, house and dog as good or better than when we left. We appreciate Jennifers great care.”

“Makana was thorough, professional in the days leading up to our scheduled pet sit, and so good about updates and photos in the time I was away. I would highly recommend Makana to any one🙌”

“Fantastic! I was so happy to have found Emily to house sit and watch my cat for me. She was incredibly helpful and reached out when my unit ended up flooding so I can quickly get it handled by our property manager. Can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Hi, my name is Claire 🐾 I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny pups to gentle giants. My own dog is a 65lb German Shepherd mix, so I’m comfortable managing larger breeds, but I also love working with playful puppies and sweet senior dogs. I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my day. Since Kihei heats up quickly, I prioritize early morning walks to keep dogs safe and comfortable. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and attention throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just hanging out together, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved and cared for. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide, making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I keep a close eye on them during walks, use secure leashes/harnesses, and always watch for potential hazards (especially in busy areas).

“AMAZING! Alexander was perfect!! She loved our fur babies and our home like her own. All 4 boys loved her ! We didn’t worry about a thing while we were gone. We came home to clean home and happy dogs. She was great at communicating and sending photos to keep us updated. We completely trust her and will use her again. Everytime. She is always welcome in our home even if she wants to stop by and see the boys and have dinner. ❤️”

About: I'm a 43-year-old woman who is a full-time pet care and home care provider. About 10 years ago I made the decision to leave professional kitchens in search of a more fulfilling lifestyle. I chose to follow my heart and my dreams of traveling the world. I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, a Professional Culinary Degree from NYC and a TEFL certification from Bangkok. I set up my life to be able to go anywhere and do anything! I have been traveling full-time for the last 10 years as a pet sitter, but have over 20 years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker. I have recently done long-term sits in Ecuador, Peru, Mexico, and Maui. I have an enormous amount of pet care experience. It ranges from dogs and cats to tropical birds and even a few axolotls! I have a lot of experience with geriatric and end-of-life pet care as well. You can see even more references from past homeowners and pet owners on my website, just search Grace's Buddies. You can be assured, that not only will I treat your pets like my own, but I will spoil them with love and affection. It's my passion. I currently work from home part-time, so I have plenty of time to play and exercise your pets! Your pets will get one-of-a-kind care and tons of hugs and kisses! I will always keep your dog on a lead. Even if you, as the dog owner, have them off of a lead, I will keep them on a lead because of other unknown dog interactions and it is my utmost responsibility to make sure your animals are safe and unharmed in my care.

“Jill was so great with our 2 dogs, she is very reliable and trustworthy! We will definitely be reaching out to her again for our future travels. Thanks again, Jill!”

“Natalie is a amazing! I have an extremely high maintenance, elderly, not always friendly, sassy bulldog who is about as stubborn as they come. Natalie adhered to all of my many requests and suggestions about how to best handle Lana as well she went above and beyond by watering all of my plants (both indoor and outdoor) AND I returned to a house cleaner than I had left it!! Not to mention she texted with photos, videos, and updates daily to put my mind at ease. It was such an Incredible experience that I immediately booked her again. Such a relief to have a competent sitter close to home!”

Megan D.

“Leslie was wonderful with my senior pup. She was patient and kind and calm with him. She communicated very well and sent photos while I was gone. She left my home very clean. I would absolutely trust her with your home and furry friends, I will be booking her again.”

About: I have raised small dogs from puppies to adults. I have also rescued two huskies, one that was a senior with special needs and one that was a puppy mill rescue with severe emotional needs. I also had indoor cats for two years. I have helped a friend who fosters animals with her senior dog and many kittens. I recently moved to Maui and miss my furbabies who now live with my adult children. I'd love to love on yours for you! I work remotely so I have a very flexible schedule. I'm centrally located in Wailuku so I can provide pet care in multiple areas of the island. I am very diligent about following your safety and care protocols in your own home. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide care in my home due to roommate restrictions.

“Jen is a nice, on top of things lady. For the meet and greet she asked a lot of great questions and took notes. We came home to happy dog!! Thanks for watching them Jen!”
