Personalized care for your dog or cat - Halaula

“Kathy was excellent!! We were frequently informed on Loki’s transition and care with tons of photos, which made my daughter and I so happy and comfortable. He had a great time. We appreciate that he was always engaged, stimulated and loved. We would highly recommend Kathy as she genuinely LOVES animals.”

“Great accommodation for our dogs Shirley and Momo. They seemed to have a great time at summer camp with Julie! They got plenty of socialization with other dogs and Julie was very kind to provide us with updates, photos and videos of our dogs playing while we were away. Thanks Julie!”

“Thank you for a wonderful stay! Diane makes stressful life events much easier with her flexibility, attentiveness, and welcoming, safe home. We’re so fortunate to have her take care of our Golden baby for planned and last minute trips to the mainland.”

“I visited Randy at her home beforehand and immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog in her care. She welcomed us with a very friendly dog, and it was clear right away that she truly loves dogs (and other animals). Her place is wonderful for dogs — spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. Randy is warm, friendly, calm, compassionate, and very accommodating to your needs. I’m sure my dog had a great time with her and made some new dog friends. I would happily leave my dog with her again. I also briefly met her husband, and he seemed very kind and sweet. Thank you, Randy and William, for taking such good care of my dog!”

“Top dog sitter I ever used. He sent loads of fun pix of Zoey. I was able to trust that Zoey was well taken care of. He was quick to reply to any questions. Definitely will be looking for him whenever Zoey is needing a sitter again. Thanks Zakk.”

About: I want your pet to feel taken care of when you are out of town. The bond that people have with their pets is special and I know that first hand. I work remotely in the environmental space and have plenty of time through the day to give your pet love and attention. My dogs typically eat 2 times a day and play for ball or go on walks at least once a day. But I am happy to accommodate your pets special needs. I have a fenced in yard and two incredible friendly pups to keep your pet safe and entertained. I will also be taking your pet for daily walks and given them plenty of 1:1 attention and care.

About: I have had both cats and dogs since I was in Kindergarten. Friends and neighbors have trusted me with their pet care needs for years. I have been on Rover for over 3 years now and am a trusted and reliable sitter. I oftentimes watch senior dogs, some with medical needs. I am very attuned to what animals need and give them tons of love and attention. It is a reciprocal relationship where we both appreciate the company and cuddles. When boarding dogs, my mom also loves dogs and is able to provide them with much love and attention when I need to be at work. She lives in the house and enjoys helping out with our furry guests. Your pet will most likely not be alone for more than an hour. I am very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I always adhere to the pup's acitivity level and age. I have also cared for a neglected pitbull terrier in my old neighborhood. The dog was chained all the time and not cared for. I asked the owners if I could walk him daily. I have removed ticks and groomed him in an effort to provide some much needed attention and TLC. I have sought out medical care for the dog and helped to build a better shelter. I have also worked to educate the family on what it means to be a dog owner and treat the pup like a family member. Dogs just yearn to protect and be close to thier pack (owners). I still walk him to this day even though I know longer live in the neighborhood. The dog can be aggressive with other people and animals but is always affectionate towards me. I had to train the dog how to walk on a leash as it had not been walked in years. At first, the dog was a bit wild and did not know what to do. Now, he can heel and listens to commands. He even sits for some treats! I know how to use caution and practice safety measures when walking the dog so that others and the aggressive dog are kept safe and unharmed. I have a bleeding heart for animals. I am great with animals of all ages, personalities, and fitness levels! I am a social worker and love to give pets as much attention as possible! I am sensitive to their needs and always make sure your pet is comfortable. I treat them as one of my own. I am available to dog-sit/ house-sit or board most dogs as long as they are house trained.

About: I have 5 years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, a German Shepherd, who has been with me since he was a puppy. I currently work afternoon shifts from 2 pm to 10 pm, which means I’m fully available in the mornings for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your dog. My days off are usually Tuesdays and Wednesdays, when I have full availability and flexibility. I’m reliable, organized, and always plan my schedule carefully to make sure every dog gets the attention they deserve. I prioritize safety, trust, and clear communication at all times. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding routines, feeding, walks, and house rules. I’m respectful in clients’ homes and always make sure dogs are secure, comfortable, and calm. I keep environments clean and controlled, and I treat every dog as if it were my own.

About: Aloha! My name is Duncan Anderson, and I’m proud to say I was born and raised on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Throughout my life, I’ve had the joy of working with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and horses. I manage a three-acre homestead where I’ve gained extensive experience caring for and nurturing these wonderful creatures. In addition, I spent time working on a farm in Kohala, where we raised chickens and pigs. This hands-on experience has deepened my understanding of animal husbandry and farming practices. I’m passionate about fostering a harmonious relationship between humans and animals, and I look forward to sharing that enthusiasm with others. I prioritize your pet care whenever I can, fitting it into my daily routine with walks, playtime, and grooming sessions. Whether it's enjoying outdoor adventures or cozying up at home, your pet's happiness and health are always top of mind. I live on a three-acre homestead with plenty of space for walks and a spacious backyard where I can play with your pet—whether it's a game of fetch or just some fun and companionship.

About: Aloha! I'm Shanon, a naturopathic physician who loves to take care of pets in people's homes. I began caring for my neighbor's cat when I was 10 years old, graduating to dog care in my teens. Since then I have done pet sits in many states and countries, seeing some pets through their lifetimes. My clients have included dogs, cats, bunnies, tortoises, snails, fish and birds. I have also cared for chickens and horses and am willing to look after small farm animals such as goats and sheep. If requested, I take care of gardens/plants, mail/packages and any other issues that may arise while you are gone. Want local or distance references? There are many. Please ask for them! I look forward to hearing from you. Aloha, Shanon Much of my work is online so that I can spend the maximum amount of time with your furry, feathered and scaled friends - I aim to be at home 75% of the time. I treat all pets as my own so they get the attention, love and care they deserve. My services can also include administering medication (pills, subcutaneous injections for cats, insulin shots etc). I strive for your home to be in the same, if not better condition than when you left, and for your pets to be as well-tended to when you are away as when you are home.

About: Was trained by the Southern Oregon Human Society; in a program to take at risk dogs and turn them around into adoptable trained best friends. I love dogs and have grown up with them most my life. I know the proper care and attention they need and sometimes might spoil my own pup a little too much. I’ve got many references as to my pet ownership/pet sitting and would love to share. I’ve owned 2 Weimaraner's, 2 Australian Shepherds and 2 pits have grown up with rotties,labs and huskys and many small dog breeds. I am not beginner with massive dogs and love the little ones. Just let me know what you need and we can make it happen. All prices negotiable just let me know what you can afford and I will try and work with you. 24/7 availability, same day or night booking accepted, easy cancellation, rain or shine I will be there for you and your pet. No minimum needed I strive for providing the best care and services available. I develop a relationship with each pet and treat them as they are my own.

“Very responsible and communicative. Made us feel secure when we were gone.”

“My husband and I were nervous about leaving our 8 month old blue heeler with a dog sitter because we had never left him with anyone before. Zakk was a very soft spoken easy going dog sitter that our energetic blue heeler pup took to right away. Zakk met us a local dog park, and to our surprise, Jax hopped right into his car to go spend the day with him. Zakk and his dog played with Jax and him on a hike. When we picked Jax up at the end of the day he was exhausted and happy.”

“I can't express enough the appreciation I have for Kathy! She is the Good People! 100% trusted and will trust her with my only kiddo! He had so much fun the weekend I had to finish a class, I almost felt like I shoukd have been paying her just for wearing him out! He's slept better than ever these past few nights. I believe he's dreaming of her place and other pals!? Idk, us dog lovers have to be a little... creative, to be good at it. Well, she is! 100%! 10 stars! 5/5! Mahalo again Kathy! Can't recommend enough. First time using this app, so I was super nervous. She put my mind at ease, fast!”

About: I have a deep commitment to providing exceptional care for dogs, ensuring their physical and emotional well-being through a structured routine that includes regular exercise, play time, proper nutrition, and social interactions. My experience includes working with various breeds and temperaments, allowing me to help each pup with their time away from home. I prioritize open communication with pet families, keeping you informed with pictures and notes of your pet’s time away from home. I am currently working on welcoming more dogs & raising my two daughters. I have a flexible schedule during the day which allows me to be home with the dogs. I have a double fenced yard; one large yard area and second smaller dog play yard. I also have multiple types of dog housing available depending on your pets needs. Most importantly your dogs will be able to socialize with my dogs, children and be comfortable in a very clean organized space while they’re visiting.

“Diane did a great job looking after Tito for the day while we explored the Island”

“Last minute I messaged Jeremy to watch Atlas and he accommodated us no problem! Very thoughtful about how to engage Atlas to shake off the first stay jitters, playing with his favorite frisbee. He has a great yard for Atlas, he loved the trees and bushes to sniff. Atlas was at ease and so was I. He even took Atlas on a walk through the neighborhood which was great because Atlas is working on his leash control. Overall super happy, we will be back!”

Katlyn L.

“I am grateful to have connected with Randy through Rover. Randy’s calm demeanor, patience and genuine love of dogs, combined with her serene home with a spacious yard, puts me at ease and thankful for the amazing care she provides to our dog while in her care.”
