“This was our first time sending our dog off to a sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out. Kyrie and her family did a wonderful job watching Tuxedo, our boston terrier. We were gone for a whole week. She sent daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their pet!”
“Greg was great. I was very anxious to be off island for a couple weeks since we hadn't needed a dog sitter since moving to Oahu over a year before. He sent pictures nearly every day and checked in with us. Communicated very well. His home is a dog retreat and we think Giz may have had an even better vacation than we did!”
“This being our first time leaving our 2 young dogs at a first time sitter we were nervous, but after being invited to tour Tracey's home and talking with her family we felt her home was full of love for all pets that came over toys, bedding nice outdoor run area and very clean. Every day of our trip away we were sent pics of our boys interacting and looking very happy at camp, we will definitely use Tracey's home for future boarding.”
“Emma seem to genuinely care about the well being of the pets that she care for. She noticed right away our Lucky's anxiety of us not being around. Lucky is very shy around people and other dogs, and Emma took great care and patience in handling her character. I think she has the ability to take Lucky out of her shell. We'll be bringing her back to Emma for overnights again.”
“Jacque was a lifesaver—available on very short notice and incredibly flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. She kept me updated the whole time with prompt, sweet photos and videos, which put my mind completely at ease. Caring, reliable, and professional — I’ll definitely book her again.”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“First time using Rover and so glad we found Joel! He took great care of our dog Naia, even while she had an unexpected injury. It meant a lot to know that she was in good hands while we were gone, and seems like she had a great time. Mahalo Joel!”
“This was our second time using Diana, and she exceeded expectations again! Her communication was outstanding! Quick responses and adorable photos of Dwight and Zoe throughout their stay gave us great peace of mind. Diana went above and beyond with their care, staying on top of feeding schedules and making sure Dwight got his medicine. When we picked them up, our babies were clearly happy and well-cared for. We’re so grateful Diana was available last minute! We highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, loving pet care!”
“First time using Rover. Needed a sitter for 10 days for our large dog. Shauna help eased that stress. She was very accomadating, upfront, provided updates, adressed any concerns and most of all, very caring. Her house and environment was perfect for my dogs needs. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with my two furbabies! One who never slept out and the other who didn’t get along with other dogs, she understood them and their needs! And to top that off, she took this job with only a day’s notice! I recommend and have her saved for future trips 🫶🏼”
“Here’s a warm and appreciative Rover review you can post for Daylin: Daylin did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! She made sure to walk and feed her on schedule and kept me updated every day with pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was well taken care of and getting the attention she needed. I really appreciate how responsible, caring, and attentive Daylin was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!”
“As usual, McKenley was reliable, attentive, and caring throughout the entire stay. Communication was excellent, and our dog received outstanding care. We appreciated the regular updates and peace of mind while we were away!”
“Again, took great care of my fur baby. I appreciated all the updates and their fur babies get along so well with mine. He is always happy to see them and sleep over. Would easily recommend.”
“Brody had a fantastic stay. He is one tired pup now and that can only be down to the incredible attention and playtime he got whilst with Jay and the family. They provided photos and videos frequently. Kept us up to date on anything important and gave Brody so much love and attention. I think he’s going to be missing his buddies for a while! Thank you for taking such good care of him 🐾”
“Danica is great, she took care of my Tamago like her own. Daily multiple updates and lots of snuggles for my kid. Couldn’t be happier to have left Tamago in her care.”
“Catalina was an amazing pet sitter for my dog klaus. kept me updated everyday and sent me pictures of him. i would give her a 10/5 star review if i could! thank you so much Catalina, and i will choose your services 10/10 times! Mahalo👍”
“Carmen and Cameron did an amazing job watching my dogs overnight. My dogs were quickly put at ease by their care and had a fun time on their walks to the beach. Carmen was also excellent with communication and sharing updates. Overall it was a great experience for both myself and my dogs!”
“Angela was a great dog sitter. She and her boys cared for our 14-yr old black lab, Willie. Willie bonded to Angela's son and enjoyed his visit. Willie has arthritis and is still recovering from a torn knee ligament in his rear leg. Angela took great care of him, giving him his prescribed medication and keeping him comfortable. We'd definitely recommend her and we look forward to using her pet sitting services again.”

“Kalyn took excellent care of my cat Nyao when I was out of town and went above and beyond to care for all of her needs and play with her. She was always quick to respond to messages so I felt good about being away. My cat loves her and I would recommend her to anyone that needs their pet cared for when out of town.”
“Mary-Ann was great. Attentive to each cats personality. Knew when to play and knew when they just needed love (lots of pets). She helped put our mind at ease while traveling.”
“Julie has watched my cat several times and it’s always been great! She takes good care of the cat and the house, and when I come home everything is in great shape. Communication is super easy and I get plenty of pics of my fur baby while I’m gone!”
“Marie is AMAZING!! She is so loving and thorough with taking care of my furrbabies, I always have peace of mind when I am away because I know they will be loved and well taken care of 😸”
“Victoria was fantastic! She was very attentive to our cat and gave us lots of detailed updates and photos. She went above and beyond and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“I had The greatest Rover experience ever with Rebecca and the quality of care she showed for my 4 kitties! I had never left my kitties before so I was very nervous about the whole process but Rebecca made sure my kitties were all loved, taken care of, and most of all I felt so relaxed on my vacation knowing my cats were all in the best hands! I even have a very shy timid kitty that never comes out when people are over and by the 4th day she was out of hiding and accepting pets! 100% will be using Rebecca again for all my pet sitting needs! Thank you from the bottom of my heart Rebecca for loving my babies as much as I do!”
“Keala was amazing. Very attentive and communicative. Appreciated the questions she asked in prep of caring for my cats - Sophia and Rain - and all the care and feedback she gave while I was away. Made the trip so much enjoyable knowing they were being well cared for. Thank you.”
About: I’ve had 7 cats of my own through the years and I’ve been lucky enough to work with hundreds of them! In 2021, I volunteered at Petsmart every Saturday to care for the cats that were up for adoption. My duties included playing and interacting with them, cleaning their kennels and litter boxes, and administering syringe medication for certain kitties. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve previously fostered kittens from 2021-2022. Those experiences have definitely made me a more attentive and knowledgable pet owner. But in the meantime, I am so excited to care for your kitty! 🐈
“Dune has been loving Alyson's drop in visits to let him out during the day when we are working. She has great communication and sends lots of photos. She has good attention to detail and does more than asked, like checking his water bowl. Definitely recommend!”
“Andrea was wonderful. She took great care of our shy boy Julius and went above and beyond. We were so grateful to know we had someone kind, caring and responsible while we were away. We will definitely hire her again!”
About: As a professional hypnotherapist specializing in emotional trauma, I bring a calm, empathetic presence to pet care. Combined with my nannying background and experience raising three dogs from puppy (2 Bullterriers & 1 Staffordshire mix) and currently caring for my recently adopted 1.5 year old female doberman, I create a balanced environment perfect for soothing anxious pets, and caring for dogs of all ages I am currently building my business and have plenty of flexible home office time, so there is lots of time and opportunity to go for walks and play time. Our home is roomy & secure and I can fit a small to medium crate if needed. We have lots of walkways and I love to go take dog for beach walks or easy hikes when I can
About: I've been around cats since I was a child, and currently I have my own two cats that are the love of my life - I've had my cat Boba for 5 years and my other cat Raven for 4 years. They are absolutely spoiled. I like to take Raven outside sometimes because she likes to go out in her stroller and do some bird watching. Aside from that, I have experience administering medication to cats too, as I know that can be difficult at times.
About: Aloha 🌈 I am a cat owner and have fostered several in the past. I have also done cat walking and sitting previously on another app in Los Angeles.

About: I’ve always had a special affinity towards cats, I have experience with all kinds, from energetic and playful, to old and sleepy, and even the tricky ones that don’t trust easily. I respect cats and truly think it’s important to listen to their body language to cater to how they feel.

“Greg is amazing! I couldn’t asked for a better place to leave my dog while I’m away! Greg is very professional and knows what he is doing (better than I do)! His place is very accommodating. His dog, Zephyr, is the sweetest and becomes best friend with my dog. It makes me very happy to know that my dog is in a good care and have best friend to play with. Bonus points, Greg sent cute photos of my dog during his stay! I already re-booked Greg for my long trip and will definitely book him again if I’m away.”
“Rose took wonderful care of Mana. She was kind, caring, Mana was happy and well looked after, and I could tell she was in great hands. I’m so glad I chose Rose as our sitter. Thank you so much for your excellent care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Shauna greeted us friendly and was able to see in early morning. Our family went to Kualoa Ranch which has no pet policy so we had Shauna for few hours. After pet sitting, my dog vomited few times since he ate sitter's dog food and I haven't been informed that.”
About: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including more than 5 years as a kennel assistant and 5 years as a veterinary assistant. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve developed strong skills in administering medications, including insulin and asthma treatments. My time in a veterinary hospital has also given me valuable experience working with animals of all temperaments, allowing me to stay calm, patient, and attentive in any situation. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your pet gets my complete time, attention, and care. I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, and that their time with me is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have 5 years of veterinary medical experience and feel confident providing a wide range of care for pets of all needs—from those requiring more involved medical support to those who simply need extra love and cuddles. I take cleanliness and safety seriously, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing between each client to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for your furry friend.
“I rescued Millie a couple of weeks ago and since then (and probably before then as well), she has shown aggression towards people strangers. Tracey and her mom welcomed Millie with open arms and spent the day making sure Millie was comfortable at daycare. I appreciate their flexibility and care and highly recommend them for daycare!”
“Lauren and her family took great care of our Penny! Lauren was really good at providing us with updates, photos and videos. Penny actually passed out on the way home and slept for much longer than she usually does so I know that she must have stayed busy.”
“I never used Rover before and I am a helicopter dog mom but Haily made me feel comfortable. I love the video and pictures that i get throughout the day she’s with him. Milo (my puppy) absolutely loves going to doggy daycare with her.”
“Rebekah is amazing! She’s so considerate and puts so much care into watching my little dog Edgar :) After every daycare day, you can tell he’s had lots of fun and is so content. Her little dog Nova is also an angel, very polite and playful! Could not recommend Rebekah enough!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals (dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs) my whole life. I also managed a dog daycare & boarding shop for 7 years and am a certified vet assistant. I’m an aspiring kickboxer and run around throughout the day, however my family helps with dogs that are boarding overnight. Dogs have access to the yard 24/7 to use the bathroom/run around 😊 I have done dog boarding for 10 years at my own home. We have 4 large dogs but they are very used to having friends over. We have a double fenced yard and additional gates for extra safety (for escape artists)
About: My husband and I have always cared for and owned dogs, but we currently don’t have one and are missing our fur friends! I recently moved from England to Hawaii to join my husband here for work, and before welcoming a dog of our own, we’d love to spend time caring for yours! I will be the primary caregiver, as I work fully from home. Back in England, I looked after my mom’s dog almost every day for the past six years whenever I wasn’t working at the hospital, as I worked from home a lot too. I also regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs for overnight stays, weekends and holidays. In fact, I became the go-to dog sitter in our little English village! As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of patience, compassion, and commitment to every dog I care for. We know that every dog has their own unique personality and routine, and we’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and so very loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, we’ll care for them as if they were our own! I (Carmen) will be the primary caregiver, with Cam (husband) home in the evenings for cuddles and post-dinner beach walks with us. I currently work from home, part-time as a UK-registered Dietitian. I’d love a fur colleague to keep me company! I walk, run or swim at the beach every morning or lunchtime and evenings too, and Kalama Beach is only a 10 minute walk from our house. My husband who is as pup-obsessed as me works with the military (he’s a ex-marine officer) so he’s not around as much but he would absolutely love doggy kisses to welcome him home after work. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large shared yard that is fully enclosed, with two access points that we securely block off whenever a dog is outside, so they can enjoy the space safely under our supervision. We share the yard with three lovely neighboring couples who are also dog lovers, creating a friendly and welcoming environment. Our home is a spacious two-story, three-bedroom house with plenty of room for your pup to relax. After beach adventures or muddy walks, we even have two bathtub showers ready for rinsing off sandy paws and giving your dog a little spa treatment! We’ll follow your dog’s usual routine, provide lots of love and attention, and ensure they’re always supervised and cared for as if they were our own.
“10 out of 10 highly recommend! We love Nicole! She's a great communicator and kept me updated. My dog thinks he is a is a human baby and Nicole did such a great job taking care of him and nurturing all his neediness. He got to spend lots of time outside and play with other dogs in a safe loving environment, and we love it!”
“Katharine and Daniel took wonderful care of my fur baby! I needed a sitter on short notice and they really helped me out! I will definitely be booking with them again.”
About: A retired marine biologist. I have had dogs my entire life. Raised puppies and watched them grow old. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels. Retired. I’m available most days if you need your pets to be simply fed, let out to pee, or to be entertained. While I take same day requests, there are no guarantees because I have several regularly scheduled walks and drop ins. Please reply promptly, I archive when no response in 24 hours. I have a fenced yard and a young corgi who has full run of the house. He can be shy to other dogs. If your dog has any aggressive tendencies or Keahi does not get along with them for whatever reason, we cannot board your dog. Meet and greets are mandatory before any boarding or daycare. Dogs must be house trained for boarding or daycare (paper trained is not house trained). I cannot and will not leave food out. If your dog has issues eating when they are fed (I feed them when I feed my dog), I have to take your dog’s food away and store it. This is a house, not a kennel where your dog has an assigned lot. If your dog has these feeding issues, consider another sitter. Same goes for finicky or difficult medical application. I have no kids on property.
About: 40 years of experience for those looking for one on one care with in depth knowledge and fondness of animals with lots of cuddles and TLC provided while you are away. I will be able to provide one on one care with lots of time to play with attentiveness for your furry kid while you are away. Your pet will get TLC, cuddles and care with three walks a day, can administer medications and special diets and care while you are away.
About: I know that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re family. That’s why I provide loving, reliable, and stress-free dog-sitting services tailored to your pup’s needs. Whether you’re away for a few hours or an extended trip, you can count on me to offer attentive care, regular exercise, and plenty of belly rubs. With a passion for animals and years of experience, I ensure your furry friend stays happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Book with me today and give your dog the care they deserve! I’m currently a SAHM so my schedule is typically open. I do however only watch one dog at a time to provide them with a comfortable stay. They must have a bed or kennel provided with their stay. I will follow special instructions, if needed. I feed them, take them on walks, play with them, pet and cuddle them. Maybe, take them on a car ride if they like that.
“Keyshla has gone above and beyond for our fur babies! We are very thankful for the care she provides and we know our dogs are always safe when we drop them off to her. Thank you so much Keyshla!”
About: This is a very happy and loving home, and I have years of experience with animals and pet sitting. I have been part of a service dog organization for 8 years as a volunteer puppy raiser and now have a trained service dog who visits with me at Hospice, schools, etc. I also volunteered with Therapeutic horses and have been pet sitting around the world with TrustedHousesitters. I teach from home and spend all day with my dog. She is an 8-year-old Labradoodle and has amazing manners. I have a big yard and plenty of toys, and I also take at least one walk a day. I have a fenced-in, large yard with covered areas of shade. I always care for pets as if they were my own beloved family members.
About: I’ve taken care of a handful of dogs before and every experience I’ve had was nothing short of amazing. I hope to have the privilege to experience more of that. I’m currently unemployed and hoping to make a little money so fitting your babies into my schedule is no problem at all as I'm only doing school now. I currently only have Guinea pigs and cats in my home, we have had dogs before but not anymore. I would say the care I give my animals goes above and beyond, I absolutely adore my babies so nothing is too much for them. I feed, play and clean up after them every single day and I really do enjoy all of it. Animals are absolutely my passion and i hope to pursue something long term involving them and so it is my absolute pleasure to watch over your babies because they get me one step closer to being able to do that. Two words I would use to describe my cats, loved and spoiled.
About: I petsit frequently for family, friends and neighbors for weeks at a time in my home and their homes. I have years of experience around all kinds of different animals. I understand different personalities in pets and can work around them. I stay at home with my two kids, who love animals. My schedule is always open so I am able to follow a unique routine. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of toys, energetic kids and two cats. One cat likes to play outside while the other stays inside. I have rooms set up in my home for animals who prefer to be by themselves.

About: Proud stay-at-home dog dad. Experience with large and small and in between. Always happy to have new dog friends come and stay. Fun is important to us, but safety comes first. Always looking for study breaks to walk some beautiful pups! Studying full time for now, at home. Partner works full time. Primary caretaker for our two dogs - food, meds, walks. I am home all day, with transportation. For boarding, I will be in the house almost constantly. For my own dogs, I manage their medication and feeding. We walk several times a day and get out to the dog park or the beach every day.
About: Aloha! I am a dog-loving, mom of three boys, two dogs, and a military spouse of 15 years. Being flexible and dependable is pretty much my lifestyle. I grew up with dogs, and I’ve personally cared for my own since I was an adult. I have also fostered rescue dogs for Okinawa Stray Pet Rescue. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, all sizes, and dogs from newborn puppy to 15 year old seniors with very limited mobility. I am probably over paranoid when it comes to safety, so you can trust that your dog will be in good, responsible hands! I understand that each dog is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident in who you choose to care for your fur baby, and I’m happy to provide what your pup needs! My only time constraints are shuttling kids to and from school and activities so I have lots of free time to spend with your pup! As previously mentioned, I am very cautious and your dog’s safety is my top priority. I have personally owned dogs who are “runners” so I’m constantly aware of my surroundings and the dog’s behavior when caring for them.
“Alyson is awesome, always on time, and always keeps us updated in how our dog does on her walks. We are using a dog walker every other week to expose our fearful dog to more people (recommended by trainer). We appreciate Alyson being part of our journey in helping our pup being less fearful.”
“I have waited to review MaryAnn until after 2 weeks of walking my lab Megan. She has been a godsend and treats Megan wonderfully. My wife and I can't keep up with the attention Megan needs as we got older than we expected due to circumstances. MaryAnn has been walking Megan regularly 4 times per week as we wanted, Megan has a big yard so she can get out as needed, but walks provide socialization that the dog needs. We are thrilled with MaryAnn and how great she is to our dog. Anyone wanting a really good dog walker would be lucky to have MaryAnn.”
About: I'm born and raised in Kailua. I Grew up riding horses and currently own a mare in Waimānalo. I foster cats for a local rescue and im comfortable medicating and giving sub q fluids to cats. I am also very comfortable with dogs and currently have 4 of my own. I have and care for a number of my own cats/rescues and colony feed & TNRM. Eff 5/1 I'm retired from the State of Hawaii and looking to check in and care for pets daily anytime throughout the day as needed. I'm very flexible can even do evening care as well. I'm happy to care for your pet/pets in your home as you describe and advise. I care for a number of animals at my home daily and work independently and diligently providing excellent care.
About: I have always had a dog present since I was born. With that I have always wanted to build a strong connection with them. This includes belly rubs, giving treats, going for walks/venturing, or playing with doggy toys. I am currently working a part-time job and typically available at the beginning of the week. I do sometimes pick up shifts but I am pretty flexible with my time. During my days off I will have a plethora of time for your pets to keep company for a walk or being social. I often times like to match a pets energy. If they need some play time, I will be more than happy to give them needed attention. If they would like to have a more chill day, we can go for a nice calm walk or just relax outside on the grass.
“Carli was so wonderful while we were away for a trip. She was timely, communicative, and extremely sweet. My dogs would wait at the door for her when they knew it was approaching the time of her arrival. My family who were home (but unable to walk them) said my pups always came back tired and content. For my dogs, tired dogs are definitely happy dogs! We will absolutely be booking with Carli again for our future walking needs.”
“Alexis was awesome and took great care of Ridge. She has excellent communication and really does take pride in caring for your animals. I felt very comfortable with her and I’d be happy to have her care for my pup any day.”
About: Special experience in puppy training. Over 8 years of dog sitting experience. Grew up with 4 big dogs in the house. Personally have an almost 3 year old Aussie who is very high energy and loves long walks and outdoor adventures! Work in remote marketing from home full time, just looking for some extra part time work. Available days and nights for short visits or longer activities/ overnight care I take pride in my attention to detail when it comes to the safety and wellness of furry friends as well as the spaces they spend their time in.
About: Aloha 🌈 I have been a pet owner for the last 11 years (dogs, cats, goats and ducks) and walked professionally on another app for 3 years in Los Angeles. I’m trustworthy and patient with reactive pets and am open to whatever your friend may need! I can take short walks, long walks, hikes, beach swims and really any activity your pet likes. I just love to be outside with animals. I can also visit at home and give lots of belly rubs and home care if that’s what’s needed. I have had elderly dogs as well and am happy and comfortable to provide special care for them. Great with huskies and couch potatoes alike. I am currently working an on-call position and always have Mondays and Tuesday off with fluctuating schedules week to week. I am available before 1pm every day though. I do travel occasionally. I will keep to your home rules and needs based on how you care for your pets. If they have a crate or area, they will be secured on your request with whatever food/water/ snacks are needed. I always prefer owners to provide snacks as many animals have allergies. I am happy to fulfill any special requests like feeding or medications.
About: Aloha! My name’s Mackenzie and I genuinely love animals. I worked at a humane society in California where I grew up, and I’ve cared for many dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve lived on Oʻahu for the past three years, and I have two cats of my own. I also grew up around dogs, cats, and other animals, so being around pets has always been a huge part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, supplements, walks, playtime, and more complicated care schedules. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention like they’re my own 🐾 I work in Waikīkī, so I’m available for drop-in visits before and after work and on my days off. For boarding, I’m typically away for about 6 hours during my shift. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care before I leave and as soon as I get home. I’m happy to be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule! I follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, and any instructions carefully. I’m also very communicative and like to ask questions and be thorough so I fully understand your pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and in your home, so I always try to be reliable, respectful, and communicative. I currently only offer boarding for cats. Visiting cats stay in their own private room, completely separate from my two resident cats, to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. For longer stays, if both cats seem interested and ONLY if the owner is comfortable with it, I may allow short, supervised play sessions to help with enrichment and socialization.
“Laura helped with our dogs when we were on vacation. We scheduled a time for her to meet them when we arrived, so they were familiar with her. She was awesome and took good care of our babies! It's obvious, she loves pups.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me that every animal has a unique personality, needs patience, and deserves kindness and respect. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all ages, including senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and gentle care. Friends and family have also entrusted me to care for their pets while they're away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. In addition to caring for dogs and cats, I volunteered at a farm animal sanctuary on Oʻahu, where I helped care for a variety of rescued animals. I’ve also help to fabricate and fit animals with prosthetic legs and braces from my work experience as a Clinical Prosthetist/Orthotist at UCLA Medical Center and Shriners Children’s Hospital in Honolulu. That experience reinforced my passion for animal welfare and deepened my appreciation for the trust and connection we share with animals. Whether we're going for a walk, playing fetch, relaxing at home, or simply keeping each other company, my goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and happy while you're away. I believe the best care comes from treating every pet like family. Currently working full time but am able to provide care and help on my off days. I work mostly early morning to mid day or mid day to evening. I’m happy to coordinate with your needs. I would gladly provide photos and video updates on your pet so that you can feel at ease about the care they are receiving. I am good with communicating and am happy to be accessible via text, phone call, or FaceTime while providing care for your pet.
About: I got my first dog when I was 4 and started dog sitting for neighbors when I was 8. I worked with a group when I lived in Kansas City that did short term in-home dog fostering for 1 day to two weeks. My puppy experience comes from a few of my friends having puppies, but adult dogs are my favorite. I work full time from home, and can schedule walks in between meetings during the day. If the dog(s) are up for it I would love to take them hiking, SUPing, kayaking, to the beach, and to hang out with my friend's dogs. I prefer to keep the dog on a similar schedule to what they are used to and not overwhelm them with new experiences while their owners are gone. Please provide me with the needed information of your dog's routine.

About: Growing up I always took care of all my neighbors’ dogs, cats, and even cows. I have 2 cat fur babies of my own and grew up with a crazy energetic golden retriever.

“Very happy with her services. They walk my dogs when we are going to be out the house for a while. They always update us how they do on their walks and send us pictures. Very reliable!”

“Greg was great. I was very anxious to be off island for a couple weeks since we hadn't needed a dog sitter since moving to Oahu over a year before. He sent pictures nearly every day and checked in with us. Communicated very well. His home is a dog retreat and we think Giz may have had an even better vacation than we did!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful! In fact, she's such a great sitter that I almost hesitate to write this review because selfishly, I'd love to keep her availability to myself! This was our very first time leaving our puppy with a sitter, and naturally we were a little nervous. Samantha immediately put our minds at ease. Before our trip, she took the time to meet with us and show us where our puppy would be staying in her home, which made us feel so much more comfortable and confident. While we were away for nearly two weeks, Samantha kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable photos. It meant so much to know our puppy was happy, safe, and well cared for while we were gone. What impressed us even more was that she actually helped reinforce our puppy's potty training during our time away. We came home to a puppy who had continued making progress, which was such a pleasant surprise! Samantha is truly a sweetheart, and it's obvious that she has a genuine love for animals and a heart for what she does. The care, attention, and affection she showed our puppy exceeded all of our expectations. We are so grateful we came across Samantha and couldn't recommend her more highly. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with my two furbabies! One who never slept out and the other who didn’t get along with other dogs, she understood them and their needs! And to top that off, she took this job with only a day’s notice! I recommend and have her saved for future trips 🫶🏼”
“Here’s a warm and appreciative Rover review you can post for Daylin: Daylin did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! She made sure to walk and feed her on schedule and kept me updated every day with pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was well taken care of and getting the attention she needed. I really appreciate how responsible, caring, and attentive Daylin was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!”
“Brody had a fantastic stay. He is one tired pup now and that can only be down to the incredible attention and playtime he got whilst with Jay and the family. They provided photos and videos frequently. Kept us up to date on anything important and gave Brody so much love and attention. I think he’s going to be missing his buddies for a while! Thank you for taking such good care of him 🐾”
“Angela was a great dog sitter. She and her boys cared for our 14-yr old black lab, Willie. Willie bonded to Angela's son and enjoyed his visit. Willie has arthritis and is still recovering from a torn knee ligament in his rear leg. Angela took great care of him, giving him his prescribed medication and keeping him comfortable. We'd definitely recommend her and we look forward to using her pet sitting services again.”
“Brianda was AMAZING with my dog. She opened him up to her home and family and treated him like her own dog. She provided daily pictures and updates, I would leave Enzo with her anytime!”
“Aloha, Katherine and Daniel did a wonderful job taking of my fur baby kingsly. This was my first time using Rover and found them. Send your fur baby to them they will care for them like their own. I definitely will use them again.”
About: I petsit frequently for family, friends and neighbors for weeks at a time in my home and their homes. I have years of experience around all kinds of different animals. I understand different personalities in pets and can work around them. I stay at home with my two kids, who love animals. My schedule is always open so I am able to follow a unique routine. I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of toys, energetic kids and two cats. One cat likes to play outside while the other stays inside. I have rooms set up in my home for animals who prefer to be by themselves.
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was hesitant. Dale and Lauren (and family) were fantastic communicators and I received multiple updates each day. You can tell they have a lot of experience and understand dogs really well. Kukui got tons of belly rubs, soft cushions to sleep on, and plenty of fun interaction. In the past, Kukui has eaten only sparingly when we are away. He had a healthy appetite at Dale & Lauren's house -- a testament on how relaxed he was.”
“KaVina was ABSOLUTELY amazing with my l lil man (Deuce). She kept the pics & videos coming. You could see the joy in my dogs eyes in the pictures & videos, I feel like my guy was truly able to live like he was at home. She took him for walks & played tug of war with him & kept him happy. I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”
“Makayla was absolutely wonderful with Huey! From the moment I booked, her communication was exactly what every pet parent hopes for when leaving their dog in someone else’s care. She sent regular updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification, and was proactive about sharing any concerns related to his care. I booked on very short notice and still received top-tier service. It was clear that Makayla genuinely cared about Huey’s comfort, safety, and well-being. Knowing he was in such kind and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trust Makayla completely with my fur babies and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter!”
“Thank goodness for Andrea, who helped with boarding Alika after my heart procedure. I asked for a last minute request and she was able to help with that as well. Alika came back a happy dog, which tells me he had a good stay with Andrea. Appreciate all her help with Alika. When she picked him up he did not hesitate to jump in her car. He really loves his time with her when she comes and walks him as well. I will definitely use Andrea again.”
“Christine provided an amazing blend of professionalism and genuine thoughtful care for my beloved fur baby. She was knowledgable and forthcoming about her own pets' personalities and ability to incorporate Kala into their home. Her daily pics, videos, and commentary let me know how Kala was truly doing and what they were doing for her to have the best experience away from us. It wasn't just "fluff" it was genuine care and concern for Kala's wellbeing and our piece of mind. I without hesitation would provide the highest of recommendation for her providing the best of care.”
“Rose was great! We boarded Luna with her for a week and we got daily updates including pictures and videos. Luna was treated like a family member and got daily walks and lots of snuggles. Rose was super responsive and helped us be at ease with her stay.”
“They are so attentive to the dogs needs. This was our first time leaving our younger dog and we were worried she wouldn’t do well. She respected the dogs boundaries, followed their queues and they quickly became family to them. Received so many pictures and videos to put our minds at ease. Could not recommend them anymore!!”
“Charlene met me at designated pick up spot at designated time. She took great care of our elderly pooch for 3 days. My son then picked up our Nala at designated spot. So convenient and awesome job!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Yvette. She took excellent care of our dog for an entire week and gave us great peace of mind with regular updates and photos. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
“We were a little anxious in finding a sitter for our dog since it would be his first time away from home. After meeting Rebecca and her daughter for the first time at a meet and greet, we felt at ease since they were really nice and our dog seemed to like them. Prior to our dog's first stay with them, Rebecca would always be prompt to reply to our concerns and needs. Upon dropping him off for his stay, Rebecca and her family welcomed our dog with open arms. She sent us updates and lots of pictures and videos - we felt he was loved and knew he was well taken care of. Picking him up, he was happy to see me but I could tell he would miss his new friends. We will be using Rebecca again since we feel we are not dropping our dog off to a sitter, but to family. Thank you Rebecca and family!”
