Personalized care for your dog or cat - Hanapepe

“Courtney was absolutely fantastic!!! We needed help last minute with our boy Marty and Courtney was fast to respond. She was also incredibly easy to schedule pickup/drop-offs while being an EXCELLENT caregiver. Marty is sometimes slow to warm up to new situations, but Courtney made sure to give me regular updates on Marty's stay and how he was responding; which in turn helped me feel at peace while off island. I would 100% recommend Courtney to anyone needing to board their doggy family member. We will definitely send Marty to Courtney in the future!”

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

“Wow. I will be forever grateful for the time Dani took to get to know our fur baby and understand his needs. She loved on him and did so many little things to make sure he was happy, well fed and exercised. She sent photos throughout his stay. Our dog usually takes a few stays to warm up to people, but he was his usual playful self on the third day of his first stay. Thank you.”

“We had such a great experience boarding our dog Bluey with Jacy! This was our first time using a dog boarding service, and Jacy made us feel completely at ease. Bluey absolutely loved her stay. Jacy took amazing care of her and really took the time to get to know her. A couple of weeks prior to Bluey’s long stay, Jacy let us drop her off at doggy daycare to see if Bluey was a good fit for her. And she loved it! We loved receiving the frequent pictures and updates—it was so comforting to see Bluey happy, playing with her friends and settling in. Bluey came home tired (she cried when leaving the neighborhood, she loves her Aunty Jacy🥹), content, and clearly well-loved. We truly appreciate the care, attention, and kindness Jacy showed throughout the entire stay. We definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate boarding caretaker. Thank you, Jacy, for treating Bluey like family!”

“Tamiko and her family did an amazing job of taking care of our Basenji, Milo, while we were in Spain for 10 days. She regularly sent photos and updates and Milo was in great spirits when we picked him up. Highly highly recommend Tamiko’s services for anyone looking around. Will 100% using her again in the future.”

Andrew S.

“Jack did an amazing job with Nala! She was happy and healthy. We appreciated the picture updates throughout her stay. Jack was also very responsive any time I sent a message. Will definitely book with Jack again!”

Nikki H.

“Sherry took great care of our pup, Monta, while we were out of town. Communication was very easy and we loved getting updates and photos during Monta’s stay. She made sure Monta was getting lots of attention and we would definitely recommend Sherry for boarding. Thank you, Sherry!”

“Our first sitter cancelled last minute and I was able to book with Anthony and Erika. They were great. Our dogs got along with their Hans. The got to run around in their yard and go on walks. We will definitely use them again.”

John D.

“Eric and his wife were amazing. I have a very high energy, clingy, young GSP. I was so worried leaving her with anyone. They took such good care of her and sent pictures a couple times through out the week. I can tell she was loved and taken care of really well. And I so appreciate it!! We will definitely use them again in the future!”

Jes W.

“Christina (and her family) were incredible! If we're lucky enough to come back to Alaska, Kismet would be lucky enough to stay with them again. She was over the top with communication and pictures during Kismet's stay! Kismet looked so comfortable and happy in her pictures we were worried she wouldn't want to come back with us! Could not recommend Christina enough - very communicative and responsive, willing to meet us for pick up / drop off, and took Kismet on all sorts of walks and adventures to the lakes and parks. 100/10!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats. We have a playful 1.5-year-old dog who loves small & medium dogs. Your pup or cat will feel safe, loved, and right at home with us—plenty of playtime, cuddles, and care included! My daughter is a veterinarian, which I love sharing as it is telling of the pet home she grew up in and our passion for cats and dogs as a family. We care for our animals as if there our children and your pet will become our bonus child. We have used Rover for our dog, and have had the best experience and in hoping that our dog can have a playmate from time to time, I created my own profile to help those looking for a safe & loving sitter, as we know it's difficult on Kauai sometimes. I am self-employed and work minutes away on Mondays-Thursdays and I am Home all day Friday -Sundays. When I do work in my office, I come home daily for lunch, so if I have your fur baby on those days, they will get playtime, love, and attention throughout the day. Our puppy, 1 1/2 is spayed and a loving sweet dog. She gets along with both cats and dogs and does not have an aggressive bone in her body. We have a fenced yard that my fur baby and yours can play in, and are located right by the bike path and can take our dogs on walks. We also have an extra crate if needed. Our dogs and cats are treated like family members in our home.

About: Dogs are our babies! They need so much love and attention. I absolutely love dogs, but in my current situation, I am not allowed to have one, so im hoping to live out my love for them through doing this. I have 2 kiddos, and would love to go on daily walks and the park often! I am working part time, but super flexible to hopefully fit your needs. I can do overnight especially for kittens and puppies! Otherwise I tend to be available all day Wednesday Thursday Saturday and Sunday. For house sitting, I would love to be able to bring my two kiddos with me if on the weekdays. I have a small apartment, so i am only able to care for small animals. I do have 2 kiddos and 2 cats who keep to themselves, but i do have a separate room I can set up if your pet needs their own space! If you have a dog I can watch for the day, we will most likely be outdoors at the park or out for a walk! If your pet had special needs, just let me know what they need and I got it! I understand trusting your fur babies with a stranger is a scary thing, i am more than happy to send pictures and updates if desired!

About: What really sets me apart from other dog sitters is my personalized approach to pet care, driven by a deep understanding of each dog's unique needs and personality. I prioritize creating a nurturing and stimulating environment, tailored specifically to your dog's preferences and routines. With a background in canine behavior and training, I not only ensure your dog’s physical well-being but also engage them mentally and emotionally, fostering a sense of security and happiness. My commitment to open communication means you’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can rest assured your furry friend is receiving the highest level of care while you're away. I work part time, walking/watching dogs and cats is how I would like to spend the other half of my week. Monday - Sunday I’m available. I focus on maintaining your pet's routine as closely as possible, ensuring they feel secure and comfortable. I provide consistent feeding, exercise, and playtime, as well as any necessary grooming or medication according to your instructions. I also respect your home environment, keeping it clean and tidy.

About: I’ve had my own pets as well as taken care of friends and neighbors for over 10 years! I love animals of all kinds and would be Happy to spend time with and care with your pets & home as long as you need(: Right now I am free as a bird and happy to spend my time caring for what is needed. Just let me know your needs and I will conform my schedule to yours. Feeding, cuddles, pets, walks, hangouts, washing, ex! Whatever you need or are comfortable with I am here including hikes with dogs or vet visits if needed!

About: Aloha 🌺 I’m a calm, reliable, and attentive pet sitter based in Kauaʻi. I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 15, and animals have always been part of my daily life. I’m self-employed and work online, which means I’m very flexible and able to give pets consistent attention, not just quick visits. I follow routines carefully and adapt to each pet’s needs and personality. I enjoy daily walks and gentle outdoor time, and I always prioritize safety, comfort, and calm energy. I treat every pet as if they were my own. During your time away, I stay in close contact and send daily updates with photos so you can feel relaxed and confident your pet is well cared for. I’m a self employer working online so i’m very flexible with my schedule. Is very easy for me to adapt my schedule according to your needs. I enjoy daily beach walks and i have a safe neighboor for leash walks. I love having an excuse to go for a beach walk or hike. I love spending time with dogs and cats. Taking dogs on adventures or play and relax with them. I would take care of them as if they were my own. I mantain contact with the owner during their absence including daily reports and lots of pictures.

“Let me just start off by saying I don’t trust many people, but Diana is someone I do trust to watch my girls. She made traveling for me less stressful and I knew my girls were in good hands. The whole time she watched them she shared pictures and helped me with any little issues that arise. Definitely going to book her again while I’m away! Thank you Diana!”

“Sophie was great to work with and our kitties really enjoyed her visit with them - they were happy and relaxed when we got home.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for cats through my work in animal welfare over the past 5 years. I've cared for cats and kittens of all ages, personalities, and backgrounds, including shy and fearful cats, social cats, seniors, and neonatal kittens. My experience includes feeding, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring health and behavior, administering basic care, socialization, enrichment, and helping cats feel safe and comfortable in new environments. I understand feline body language and know the importance of patience, routine, and creating a low-stress experience for each individual cat.

About: their independence is a beautiful, earned trust rather than a demanded need, which makes every purr and cuddle they choose to offer me feel profoundly special.

About: Ive loved cats so much, I wish life would allow me to keep hundreds. Out of the 10 cats Ive had, each one has has such a different personality, from the crazy playful orange tabbies to the cuddly tortoiseshells, I love all cats, I currently have two that I raised from babies

“Meaghan was fantastic and took great care of our pup! we will be asking her to watch him again in the future for sure.”

Daniel K.

“Cristina was amazing!! She showed up on time each day and took Kicho for a walk, feed him, and let him out of the kennel! She even stopped by on a Sunday to see all through the steps before showing up on Monday! I would fully recommend her to anyone on the island!! Thank you for the help!!”

About: I have a few friends that travel often and I get to go see their dogs and take care of them. This includes playing, brushing, walking, and bathing :) The companionship and love between humans and man's best friends are priceless. I truly enjoy not only helping the owner, but caring for these beautiful creatures who care for us right back. I would be happy to travel to help with feeding and walking schedule. I have a whole lot of love to offer, and would be honored to help your family. I have no limitations on breeds or sizes. Usually the bigger the more cuddly. Thank you so much for your interest. I look forward to connecting with you and your fur baby soon. I am open, flexible and available. I live in Kapa'a but travel often to North Shore to be with friends and to help with their fur babies. I have a four year old, Obie, doggy, pictured in profile. He loves other dogs and especially other humans attention. Very grateful! I am currently working at a school part time, summer hours, and have flexibility. I look forward in working together and helping with your fur babies. Currently I live where I work, at a pet sanctuary, so I would love to come and care for your loved ones at your home, where they have all their comforts and needs met.

“Mahalo for taking such good care of Duchess! Jack is very reliable, excellent at communication prior and throughout duchesses stay. Highly recommended!”

About: Dogs have been in my family my whole life and I was a dog mom for at least 20 years. I know firsthand how our furry BFF’s are FAMILY and how important it is to have trustworthy and reliable care for them when we have to be away. I travel a lot, and by far, pet care was always the #1 stressor in planning and being away. My sweet guy was old, quirky, anxious, and towards the end he had a lot of special care needs. I always worried if he was getting all his needs met or if maybe he was too much for others to deal with compassionately until we found our sitter! He was a genuinely great guy who loved our sweet boy so much, so I knew I was lucky to find someone I trusted and my guy was in good hands. So now, as a sitter myself, I can promise you that I will care for your sweet boy or girl as if they were my own family because that’s what I loved in my own sitter! My place is only about 10 minutes away from the airport, so it’s very convenient for quick drop-off and pick-up on your way if you’re traveling. I work FT from home M-F so there’s time for a walk before and/or after work, and then I am available for frequent potty breaks throughout the day as needed I have a well fenced in yard and we are two doors down from a park. The park is tucked away in our community so there’s not much traffic and it’s very safe. We don’t usually see other dogs there, but plenty of chickens. I’m sorry, but my yard does not have a sheltered space so I can’t host outdoor pets. I can only host pets who are full-time indoor pets and fully house trained (no diapers or belly bands). I do have most basic pet supplies (bowls, leashes, crate for den style napping and an elevated bed, etc.)

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life—starting with my mom's pug when I was born, to my first pet turtles, now in their 30s! Over the years, I've cared for a variety of pets, including birds, hamsters, fish, and even a hedgehog in college. My Labrador lived a long, happy 17 years, and I currently have a miniature schnauzer I trained myself. I also have experience with senior pet care, making me a trusted go-to for friends and colleagues who often rely on me to watch their pets when needed. Caring for animals isn't just a responsibility; it's my passion! Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I’ve always structured my days to prioritize their needs, from early morning walks and feeding schedules to playtime and grooming. I work remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. Whether it’s ensuring a senior pet gets their medications on time, engaging an energetic puppy with fun activities, or simply offering companionship, I integrate pet care seamlessly into my life. It's second nature to me, and I truly enjoy the joy and connection it brings. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. In my home, I provide a secure, fenced yard where your pup can safely explore, play, or simply relax in the sun. I have two friendly, well-trained dogs who can offer great companionship for social pups, or I can ensure a peaceful, quiet space for pets who prefer a calmer environment. I keep a close eye on all interactions and tailor the experience to your pet’s personality and needs. In a client’s home, I follow their specific care instructions closely, maintaining their pet’s routine for consistency and comfort. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I strive to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved in my care.

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

“I cannot say enough great things about Diana and how grateful I am to her for taking care of Pennie. We loved her especially Pennie! She was always punctual and very thorough. She followed all of our instructions for Pennie, and she was super sweet and reassuring to my girl 🥰 the best thing was she was so flexible and was able to book on last minute when our original plans fell through. You can tell she loves what she does! I am absolutely going to rebook her in the future 10/10 would totally recommend! Thanks Diana you truly gave us peace of mind with pictures and videos too!”

About: Raised Pomeranians at Age 10. Worked in a Pet-Boarding Facility. As a single mom, I'm able to roll with the punches and adapt to situations quickly, whether it's a child or furry friend! Currently working in the Nursing Industry, but looking at a potential career pivot into something that is outside of Nursing, and involves my favorite animal, Dogs! Over the years, I have house/pet sat for friends and acquaintances. It's my honor to help not only the people I know, but their four legged family members too!

About: Hi! My name is James. I work from home as a podcast agent and have a very active lifestyle. I’m a digital nomad so I travel frequently, I make my own hours so I can be flexible! I started dog sitting in 2024 originally through referrals, then through Trusted House Sitters, now on to Rover! I have done sits up to 4 months long in Hawaii and as short as 2 days in Belgium, I can be flexible with scheduling. I truly love being around dogs, I go on walks frequently and I love having a companion as I travel. I’ve had dogs all my life and realizing rover would be a great way of connecting me with great dogs and opportunities! Your pets safety and happiness are paramount. I aim to keep a stress free environment and to ensure you know everything is taken care of. Feel free to ask any questions or reach out, I’d be happy to have a chat to show you why I’d be a great sitter :). I work online, so travel has become a huge priority for me and a way i've found routine is staying at peoples homes for a few months, while watching their dog! Oh i've had dogs all my life, they are family to me in every way, most breaks I take throughout the day are to give my dog some love or take her potty
