“We’re very pleased to have found Wanda and Lonnie for our dog Isabella. She spent two nights with them and Isabella came home like her normal self. Wanda and Lonnie were easy to work with and attentive to Isabella’s needs. Much appreciated!”

“Amazing! We have never left our two dogs in boarding before. They have a complicated diet and they believe that they are a part of the family. Shanelle (husband &children) took them into their home and loved them as if they were their own! Rides in the car, walks with other dogs...sleeping on pillows… under blankets haha. There just isn’t anyway to express this much gratitude. What a BLESSING 💕”

“Daria was amazing! She took care of my 3 month old kitten while I was away for a few days and always kept me updated with pictures and videos. She had everything packed and ready for me as soon as I arrived. I would recommend her to take care of your furry friend and will definitely have her cat sit nine I the future!?”

“Gio did an amazing job taking care of my 8-month-old puppy, Mariko. She was great about sending me photos and videos of Mariko playing with her dog, Miki, and getting plenty of exercise. I really appreciated how attentive she was—when a problem came up with Mariko’s eyes, Gio was very prompt in letting me know and worked with me to figure out the best solution. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Mariko was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using Gio’s dog-sitting services again the next time I need to travel off island!”

“My little dog, Buddy, had a marvelous time with Leah. Leah provided great communication and kept me updated while I was traveling. Buddy made a new friend in Marley. We would absolutely use Leah again!”

“We are so grateful to have found Amber, Abe, and Einstein!! They sent us pictures and videos throughout Willa’s stay while we were out of town. It was so comforting to know that she was being cared for and loved by them. She had plenty of lap time, potty breaks, rest time and lizard hunting! We couldn’t imagine better pet sitters than these guys!!”

“Kono had a great time while with Jordan and Katherine. They updated us on how Kono was which gave us peace of mind. We are definitely using the Day Care option and would board Kono here again.”


“Madilyn was great! She really connected with our dog well. Her dog and our dog were like twin new best-buddies. But she gave us lots of flexibility, whether ours would stay with her by himself or if her dog would be there. It was perfect. Will definitely use her again. Mahalo.”

About: Lifelong pet caretaking is rooted in the belief that pets are not just animals; they are family members deserving of love, respect, and dedicated care throughout their lives. This philosophy emphasizes the importance of understanding each pet's unique needs, preferences, and personality. Ive had dogs all my life and firmly believe they need to be cared for as the family members they are. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my work-from-home life by providing companionship and stress relief during breaks. Daily walks and playtime offer essential physical activity, while structured feeding times establish a routine. This balance enhances productivity, creating a nurturing environment that benefits both your work and your pet's well-being. My apartment is a short walk to the beach park and dog park where they're is space to roam and exercise. While in my home they enjoy constant companionship and attention.
“Bridget and her family were excellent caretakers for my dog Rhino! They are such a nice family and have a great yard for the animals to explore. Bridget sent frequent updates and photos which was nice.”

“Carrie & Jonathan take care of her and updated me. Carrie was very flexible and willing to accept her my request when my plans was changed. I appreciate it your willingness, and I am grateful for your support and care of my dog.”
“Beau's first overnight with Nicole and I know he had an amazing visit. Nicole took the time to meet Beau before our visit and introduced us to her beautiful puppy, Delilah. Communication during the stay was great, we couldn't be happier. Thanks, Nicole and Delilah!”

“Michele & Brian took such wonderful care of our 1.5yr old Kruz, and we’re truly so grateful! He’s a high-energy pup and can definitely be a handful, especially in a new environment with new people and dogs but they handled him with so much patience, structure, and care. They have a beautiful & fenced property — kept him active with daily walks and dog park visits (which he absolutely loved!) and even worked on some training. It was so reassuring to know he was not only being cared for, but also engaged and learning. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We truly appreciate the time, attention, and extra effort they put into caring for him. Thank you both again for keeping up with our energetic boy - you’re amazing ⭐️🤗”

“What a amazing pet sitter. I would highly recommend her she was very good to my dog. She sent me videos and pictures every day. I felt very at ease on my trip that was out of country. If there was an option to give 10 stars I would have gave her 10 stars.”

“Rochelle was super friendly and accommodating. She had great communication and sent us numerous text during our pups stay. Coco took to Rochelle extremely well, which is not very common for her. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt extremely comfortable and could tell that Coco did too. Rochelle’s space was very dog friendly. Our Pup was even on several medications at the time, which Rochelle made sure to give her and stayed on top of. I would definitely recommend Rochelle for your pups next stay! 10/10!”


“If you are looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful and highly capable dog sitter/caretake, Randi C. is the person you want to book. We have never left our Pomeranian, Lucy, with anyone overnight before, until we met Randi. She is caring and knowledgeable and we trust her implicitly. She has a beautiful estate where she will welcome your dog just like it was her own. While on vacation recently, she constantly kept in touch with us via text message and sent us plenty of pictures and videos, so we could be assured Lucy was in good hands and doing well. She has plenty of space at her home and she does whatever possible to accommodate your needs and the needs of your pet. We no longer have to be hesitant in deciding on an overnight trip or vacation. Just knowing that we can leave our most precious fur friend with Randi has alleviated all our anxieties. We have also used Randi for daycare services too and we were equally impressed. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a positive dog experience. We would not even consider leaving Lucy with anyone else. Randi is our dog caretaker forever! Gail and Mike Connor 04/25/21”

“Rachael always cares my cat Lola like her own. I can leave her behind with no worries. Most importantly Lola is happy to be able to stay at home even while I am not there. I can not thank enough.”


“I am so happy to have found Angie! I am so protective over my fur babies, but had no need to worry while they were in Angie’s care. She is responsive, reliable and dedicated. She sent lots of pics and provided helpful updates. Our cats loved her!! She was wonderful & I would highly recommend her. I hope to have her pet sit for me again in the future!”
“Bea stopped by my house to feed my cat, Gus. She responded quickly, let me know when she’d be at my home and sent me pictures of Gus. My cat, who can be very shy, came out while she was here, which is great. I’d definitely recommend her if you need someone to drop by while you’re away.”

About: What truly distinguishes me from other pet sitters is my deep commitment to providing not just basic care, but a truly enriching experience for your furry friend. I have extensive experience administering medications with precision and care, ensuring your pet receives their treatments exactly as prescribed. Additionally, I take pride in my meticulous litter box cleaning routine, going above and beyond to maintain a fresh and hygienic environment for your cat. Beyond the basics, I'm passionate about tailoring playtime and activities to each pet's unique personality, ensuring they feel engaged, stimulated, and loved throughout their stay with me. Key strengths that set me apart: Medication Administration Expertise: Comfortable and confident administering oral medications, injections, and topical treatments with detailed instructions. Hygienic Litter Box Management: Deep cleaning and frequent litter box changes, going beyond the standard scoop to maintain a pristine environment. Personalized Playtime: Understanding each pet's individual needs and preferences to create tailored play sessions, including mental stimulation activities. Detailed Communication: Regular updates with photos and detailed reports on your pet's well-being, keeping you informed throughout their stay.

“Kiaya took great care of our cat, Merlin. We have specific instructions about coming and going from our house (to keep him from escaping) and Kiaya was super respectful and attentive to them, and played/snuggled well with him every day, which is huge for us. Felt very comforted & comfortable having her take care of our little guy while we were away!”

“Casey was absolutely amazing with Goku! He treated him like her own, gave him so much love and attention, and kept me updated with the sweetest photos. I could tell he felt safe and happy the whole time. Truly five-star care — I’d trust Casey with Goku any day!”

“Becca was wonderful with Lily and her human. She went well beyond what was asked of her to make sure Lily was well cared for. We immediately rebooked with Becca for additional days and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for kind and compassionate care for their pet.”

“I don't think we could've left our kitty in better hands than Shanelle when we headed out of town for the holidays. She was kind, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to ensure Hayley was comfortable and well taken care of. Her level of communication and reliability was great and very appreciated. Her photos and reports were thorough and did a great job documenting Hayley's activities and care. We will definitely be using Shanelle again.”

“Willa is starting to become a regular with these guys! The more she goes to their house, the quicker she is to settle in. We’re so grateful that they are so welcoming and willing to work with Willa’s separation anxiety. Each time it gets a little bit better :) We feel very much at ease leaving her with Amber, Abe, and Einstein. They are the best sitters that we could ask for!!”

“I wish I could do 10 stars! The love, care & attention you give to Cannon is beyond words. I still think about him all the time because he’s my baby and I love him so much, but on the other hand I don’t worry because I know he’s in good hands. Trying to get through some of my real estate studies & exams would have put poor Cannon at a disadvantage for sure, but in Wanda & Lonnie’s care I was able to focus and study long hours without interruptions of having to take Cannon out for his walks 3 times a day! What a positive relief… and mahalo again for taking Cannon at the last minute! I can’t begin to tell you how much it’s appreciated. Mahalo from the heart 🌺 Althea”

“Had day 2 today with my pup and she had a great time! Came home and put herself to bed! Thank you so much. They are so kind and you can tell they really care for the dogs they watch.”


About: I've been a dog, cat, and chicken owner for much of my life. I am a dog walker, previous dog groomer, and volunteer at the Maui Humane Society. I have fostered many animals and my family and I are used to introducing new animals Into our home and loving them like our own. I would love to meet you and your pets and see how I can help them feel comfortable while you are away! My current schedule is very flexible, so let's discuss what you need! I am home most of the time and available on weekends for pet sitting, but not dog walking. I live upcountry on two acres in a gated subdivision. My yard is not fenced, so your pet will be kept with me in our home and leashed at all times when outside. I do not have any other pets, so yours will get all the attention!
About: Professional experience in a veterinary boarding & grooming facility. Experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments. Medically fragile (physically disabled, elderly, medicine administration, bladder expression, insulin administration, ext. 15+ years of PERSONAL experience with domestic and farm animals. Poultry, rabbits, horses, and more! Behavior training and basic grooming services offered. Nail trims, baths, facials, ear & eye clean ups, blow-dry, and brushouts. No coat trims or anal glands available at this time. Behavior training, basic puppy training, crate training using positive behavior reinforcement programming. I'm a stay at home mom of 5 kids, who helps her husband run a construction company. I am always on the go. I come to you! I have reliable transportation and I have all my own tools. I will always use a slip lead and/or harness when walking your dogs outdoors. Cats can explore the outdoors in a backpack, harness and lead, or stroller (as provided by you!).

“Madilyn was wonderful. She and Neala really seemed to get along but more than that, we were really busy having a wedding and decided a little late that Neala might be better off away from such a big crowd and stealing food from plates, and Madilyn came to our rescue. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Buttercup had a great time! Thanks for being so kind, conscientious, and professional. We will definitely be back, your house and yard are a perfect setup and communication was amazing! Five star experience 🤩”

“I cannot recommend Michelle and Brain highly enough. I have an older dog with special needs who cannot be left alone and who struggles deeply with separation anxiety. What my dog needs most is a steady, compassionate presence, and that is exactly what they provided. Not long after I dropped my dog off, Michele reached out to let me know that my dog was content, getting along well with her dog, and exploring her new surroundings. That early check-in brought me such a sense of relief. Later, she sent me a photo of my dog resting peacefully in her garden while she gardened nearby, which spoke volumes about how safe and settled my dog felt. Michele was incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely present. She snuggled with my dog on the couch, included her in daily activities (like “helping” in the garden), and it was sweet that she seemed to enjoy my dog’s company. That matters to me more than I can easily express. Having a dog with extra needs can come with a lot of worry about being a burden, and it was sweet to sense that it wasn’t that at all for them. It was also deeply reassuring that they have an older dog themselves. Michele truly understands the rhythms, sensitivities, and nervous systems of senior and special-needs dogs. When I picked my dog up, she was happy to see me and tired in the best way—but most importantly, she was calm and regulated. This tells me everything about the quality of care she received. This kind of support is immensely valuable. I would absolutely recommend Michele and Brian, especially to anyone with an older, anxious, or special-needs dog who needs more than basic sitting. Finding someone like this feels rare, and I would trust them with my dog again without hesitation.”

About: I have extensive experience in dog training and care as my Dad’s business was in rehabilitation, training and boarding for dogs. I worked as an employee for 5 years and also had opportunities to help train and care for the dogs from 12 years old. I love learning more every time I interact with a new dog. I am skilled at training dogs to get over leash aggression and constant pulling. I have worked with many different breeds of dogs and have learned a lot about how this can alter their specific needs. I have a part time job where I’m busy on Wednesdays and Fridays. Otherwise I am available to enjoy time with your doggo all day. I live on a large property with lots of fun things to smell and explore! It isn’t fenced, I intend to keep your dog close with a leash unless you feel they aren’t likely to try and run away.
About: Aloha! I’ve grown up with pets all my life and I enjoy the joy they bring to my life. I had a pet of my own that I cared for for 15 years. I have a backyard and I am home throughout the entire day. I care for a friend’s dog often, and I like to give the pup the option of indoor or outdoor so that they can walk in and out at their own convenience. I am currently retired so I am regularly home and usually available every day. I typically stay at home throughout the day, so you can rely on me to keep your pet company and cared for! My house is completely fenced so they will not be able to get out. I currently don’t have any pets of my own. I enjoy keeping my sliding door open so that the dogs have the freedom to go in and out of the house at their convenience
About: I have a husky mix Kea and we are super active! Daily walks and animal care is in my daily routine. I have been doing rover for a long time now. Apart from dogs, I worked/lived at a cat sanctuary in Haiku that had over 200+ cats as well as chickens and cows. My job consisted of feeding, giving medicine/attention, and cleaning after them everyday. I take care of my husky mix Kea everyday! I work from home m-f and have lots of free time. I love to take care of all kinds of animals. I am looking for some extra jobs on the island! I would make sure I am aware of the clients needs and expectations when being in their home. I will be aware of any precautions and contact the owner with any issues. I will take care of the animals with anything that is needed (walking/feeding/put into crate/attention), I am a quick learner and am open to any specific jobs.
“Where to start with?? Christina is beyond wonderful! I texted her on a really short notice and she helped me straight away. She gave Olly so much love and attention. She updated me throughout the whole day and I could see by the photos that Olly and her were having a great time together! It made me so happy to see that she took care of Olly as if he was her own puppy. She is a 11/10!!”

“Taylor took such good care of my 10 week old puppy. She reassured me during several times of the day that he was doing good and sent me pictures of him. She also followed all of the instructions provided, especially because it was my first time booking with her to dog sit during the day.”
About: I’m a country, animal loving young girl. I’ve spent years caring for farms and ranches or just housesitting with many dogs, cats and much more. I just enjoy soaking up extra time with the critters. I’ve spent time training two of my own dogs and also several others. Experience fostering both cats, kittens and puppies is also something I can offer. It’s so rewarding to watch the dogs learn and grow with training and time. I can take your dog on walks and play with them or just chill with your cat. I currently work 3 days a week on a boat and 1 day as a bartender. Feel free to message me for scheduling and availability. If your pet is ok with me being gone on the boat 12 hrs on a couple days I’m happy to housesit for a length of time. My partner can often times let your pet out to potty on my long work days. Usually just Wednesdays are 12 hr shifts. I like to keep the pets routines as close to what they are use to as possible. Playing with, exercising, feeding and even doing some training are all things I like to incorporate in my daily schedule.

About: I have always been drawn to animals and them to me. I grew up with dogs and have a cat right now. I enjoy spending time with animals and giving them love & helping out the pet owners. I am very flexible, communicative and nurturing. Thank you for your time! My hubby & are retired PTs and are doing our online business. I do pet sitting and dog walking on the side bc it is my therapy. I adore animals and they help to calm and center me. I enjoy being able to help ease a pet owner's worry bc I myself am a pet owner and know what I expect from someone watching my cat. I am very picky and want communucation, videos and updates. I do exactly what I say. I believe all pets feel the most safe in their own environment so I prefer going to their home. My cat is also not friendly with others so that is a big no-no. I am very open to staying the night, as long as the pet owner is comfortable with that.

“Steph took my Shadow on a walk and fed her dinner on a couple of days when my husband and I both had to work long hours. She arrived when I asked and did exactly what she was supposed to do. Shadow was super happy to meet her on their meet and greet and Steph had a super calm and sweet energy that any animal will be drawn to. Very pleased with her service and will definitely be a repeat customer.”

“Shanelle has walked my Black Lab puppy weekly for 2 months. She's very reliable, communicates well, and is terrific with my handful of a dog- 70lbs now at age 8 months old:) Cappy loves her and starts barking before her car gets to my driveway- she must know it's Tuesday!! :)) Highly recommend her- rates very affordable and totally worth the investment to help train her. Will continue to use her regularly; expanding to one hour walks soon.”

“We’re very pleased to have found Wanda and Lonnie for our dog Isabella. She spent two nights with them and Isabella came home like her normal self. Wanda and Lonnie were easy to work with and attentive to Isabella’s needs. Much appreciated!”

“Amazing! We have never left our two dogs in boarding before. They have a complicated diet and they believe that they are a part of the family. Shanelle (husband &children) took them into their home and loved them as if they were their own! Rides in the car, walks with other dogs...sleeping on pillows… under blankets haha. There just isn’t anyway to express this much gratitude. What a BLESSING 💕”

“Kono had a great time while with Jordan and Katherine. They updated us on how Kono was which gave us peace of mind. We are definitely using the Day Care option and would board Kono here again.”


“Madilyn was great! She really connected with our dog well. Her dog and our dog were like twin new best-buddies. But she gave us lots of flexibility, whether ours would stay with her by himself or if her dog would be there. It was perfect. Will definitely use her again. Mahalo.”

About: Lifelong pet caretaking is rooted in the belief that pets are not just animals; they are family members deserving of love, respect, and dedicated care throughout their lives. This philosophy emphasizes the importance of understanding each pet's unique needs, preferences, and personality. Ive had dogs all my life and firmly believe they need to be cared for as the family members they are. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my work-from-home life by providing companionship and stress relief during breaks. Daily walks and playtime offer essential physical activity, while structured feeding times establish a routine. This balance enhances productivity, creating a nurturing environment that benefits both your work and your pet's well-being. My apartment is a short walk to the beach park and dog park where they're is space to roam and exercise. While in my home they enjoy constant companionship and attention.
“Bridget and her family were excellent caretakers for my dog Rhino! They are such a nice family and have a great yard for the animals to explore. Bridget sent frequent updates and photos which was nice.”

“Beau's first overnight with Nicole and I know he had an amazing visit. Nicole took the time to meet Beau before our visit and introduced us to her beautiful puppy, Delilah. Communication during the stay was great, we couldn't be happier. Thanks, Nicole and Delilah!”

“Michele & Brian took such wonderful care of our 1.5yr old Kruz, and we’re truly so grateful! He’s a high-energy pup and can definitely be a handful, especially in a new environment with new people and dogs but they handled him with so much patience, structure, and care. They have a beautiful & fenced property — kept him active with daily walks and dog park visits (which he absolutely loved!) and even worked on some training. It was so reassuring to know he was not only being cared for, but also engaged and learning. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We truly appreciate the time, attention, and extra effort they put into caring for him. Thank you both again for keeping up with our energetic boy - you’re amazing ⭐️🤗”

“What a amazing pet sitter. I would highly recommend her she was very good to my dog. She sent me videos and pictures every day. I felt very at ease on my trip that was out of country. If there was an option to give 10 stars I would have gave her 10 stars.”

“Rochelle was super friendly and accommodating. She had great communication and sent us numerous text during our pups stay. Coco took to Rochelle extremely well, which is not very common for her. From the moment we dropped her off, we felt extremely comfortable and could tell that Coco did too. Rochelle’s space was very dog friendly. Our Pup was even on several medications at the time, which Rochelle made sure to give her and stayed on top of. I would definitely recommend Rochelle for your pups next stay! 10/10!”

“Sachi had a wonderful stay with Casey. Casey is an excellent dog sitter and I would highly recommend him. Shortly after our “meet and greet” visit, we returned Sachi for an overnight stay and as soon as we parked the car Sachi could hardly wait to run to Casey’s front door! Thank you, Casey, for taking good care of Sachi.”

About: I have extensive experience in dog training and care as my Dad’s business was in rehabilitation, training and boarding for dogs. I worked as an employee for 5 years and also had opportunities to help train and care for the dogs from 12 years old. I love learning more every time I interact with a new dog. I am skilled at training dogs to get over leash aggression and constant pulling. I have worked with many different breeds of dogs and have learned a lot about how this can alter their specific needs. I have a part time job where I’m busy on Wednesdays and Fridays. Otherwise I am available to enjoy time with your doggo all day. I live on a large property with lots of fun things to smell and explore! It isn’t fenced, I intend to keep your dog close with a leash unless you feel they aren’t likely to try and run away.
About: I have a husky mix Kea and we are super active! Daily walks and animal care is in my daily routine. I have been doing rover for a long time now. Apart from dogs, I worked/lived at a cat sanctuary in Haiku that had over 200+ cats as well as chickens and cows. My job consisted of feeding, giving medicine/attention, and cleaning after them everyday. I take care of my husky mix Kea everyday! I work from home m-f and have lots of free time. I love to take care of all kinds of animals. I am looking for some extra jobs on the island! I would make sure I am aware of the clients needs and expectations when being in their home. I will be aware of any precautions and contact the owner with any issues. I will take care of the animals with anything that is needed (walking/feeding/put into crate/attention), I am a quick learner and am open to any specific jobs.
“Fantastic pet sitter! Taylor is so kind. She truly cared about our dog having a pleasant stay. She kept us updated with lots of photos which clearly showed how much fun our little pug was having. We felt so comfortable that she was in a safe and loving environment.”

About: Hi there! We’re a family of animal lovers and would be thrilled to care for your pets. We have one small dog of our own, a 10 year old Shiba Inu, who is very chill and gets along great with other dogs! Both my husband and I have had dogs our entire lives and have plenty of experience caring for them. My husband is known in our family as the “dog whisperer.” We have family on the mainland and travel back a couple of times a year, so we understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets while you’re away. Whether you need daily drop-in visits or boarding while you’re off island, your pets will be treated like part of our family and will be in loving hands. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with a flexible schedule. We’re an active family and would love to include your dog in our daily outings when appropriate. We live in Kihei near a dog park and the beach and spend plenty of time outdoors. Because we have two young children and a small dog in our home, boarding is best suited for dogs that are friendly and comfortable around both children and other dogs. We’re also more than happy to provide drop-in visits! However you would like your pet to be cared for; walks, fetch, feedings, scratches, cuddles or simply some company while you’re away, we’re here for it!
“I’d recommend Johnathan! He’s like a dog whisperer. Mika always has issues with new sitters and I was a bit worried at first she kept barking non stop as usual but after a while she settled in but still barked several times. Lacey was no problem she’s always mellow and friendly. Mika in the other hand is very defensive but Johnathan took them in with short time spent with Johnathan Mika barely barked going home after the meet and greet. Then back at it when I dropped them off-when I picked them up Mika made a good connection with Johnathan and she didn’t even bark in my car just crying a bit but no barking she didn’t even want to get out of my car to go inside our home! Amazing improvement!! I’d go to Johnathan for my dogs anytime and highly recommend him as well got updated a few times in the day to keep me updated on how they’re doing. Johnathan is the new dog whisper on Maui!! Love it!!!! Thanks a million!!😊😊😊😊”

About: I’m a country, animal loving young girl. I’ve spent years caring for farms and ranches or just housesitting with many dogs, cats and much more. I just enjoy soaking up extra time with the critters. I’ve spent time training two of my own dogs and also several others. Experience fostering both cats, kittens and puppies is also something I can offer. It’s so rewarding to watch the dogs learn and grow with training and time. I can take your dog on walks and play with them or just chill with your cat. I currently work 3 days a week on a boat and 1 day as a bartender. Feel free to message me for scheduling and availability. If your pet is ok with me being gone on the boat 12 hrs on a couple days I’m happy to housesit for a length of time. My partner can often times let your pet out to potty on my long work days. Usually just Wednesdays are 12 hr shifts. I like to keep the pets routines as close to what they are use to as possible. Playing with, exercising, feeding and even doing some training are all things I like to incorporate in my daily schedule.
