“Jacque took care of our dog Kanani when we had our house fumigated for termites. I immediately felt comfortable leaving Kanani with her. Jacque and her daughter Lexi are very loving and caring. She sent us pictures of Kanani throughout her stay there. Kanani looked very comfortable and happy. I even joked that maybe Kanani wouldn't want to come back home. I highly recommend Jacque if you need to board your pet.”

It is clear that she really cares for each animal like her own, prioritizes their comfort and safety, and I can’t recommend her enough!!”
“Absolutely professional and kind sitter. Miki was in contact with us every step of the way and we never once worried about our little Wilbur. She shared many pictures. She came through for us on a short notice and spent her time during a meet and greet to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Miki spoiled Wilbur with multiple walks and treated him like her own fur kid during daily errands. We are so grateful to have found Miki! We highly recommended her to take care of your fur kids. Thanks Miki and family.”
“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!”
“Sis was amazing! I was nervous about leaving my puppy, Poe, for the first time while our family went on a short staycation, but he walked right in without even looking back! During our initial meet and greet, I could tell that Sis really loved dogs and that Poe would be in great hands. They have a great home with a nice yard for the dogs to play! Sis sent me photo updates and I felt at ease during our vacation knowing that Poe was safe, happy and having fun with her other dogs! Would definitely recommend Sis to all my friends and family! Thank you Sis! :)”
“Sarrisa’s attentiveness and great loving care for my Lou was absolutely phenomenal. While staying with Sarissa, he’s been on so many outings and adventures in nature, his very favorite place to be. THANK YOU Sarissa for such wonderful care of my best friend while I had to work! Highly recommend! She exceeded my expectations!”
“Krysta and Peter are wonderful people and were so easy to work with! They took the best care of our dog Luna. We will always go back to them for any of our future dog sitting needs in the Kailua area😄 They were so thoughtful, kept us updated with great photos, and reassured us that we had nothing to worry about, given it being our first time using the app. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with cats since I was 4 years old and was responsible for all of their needs - feeding, brushing, nail clipping, litter cleaning, and of course playing and cuddling. I cared for them through their old age providing medication, physical therapy exercises, and inserting IV drips. I’ve also been my friends’ dog sitter (funcle) over the past 6 years, giving them all the walks, pets, attention, and playtime they need while their parents are away. I currently work full-time from home and can give all the attention to your pets’ throughout the work hours of the weekdays! I like to be active after work and weekends, and can take your pups out for runs or hikes, or we could lounge and chill if that’s what they need. I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s pet friendly. We have no pets at home right now so I’ll be around to give full attention to your pet!
“Daisy is amazing. We have peace of mind when leaving our dog Chloe with her. It’s our 2nd time and we will continue to only book her for future dog sitting. She’s friendly, shares pictures, and has great communication. Thank you so much for taking care of Chloe!”
“Mari was great with our dog. She sent updates and pictures while we were away. She took extra steps on planning what she will do in case of approaching storm. It made me more confident to go on our family trip. I highly recommend her and appreciate her.”
“Tracey and her mother, Yuet, are great boarders. I was new to Rover and they were very responsive, advised me on what to pack and sent several pictures every day. Our dog was treated as their own pet with access to their home. Ozzie had fun with playing with their small dog. Their set up has a dedicated space indoor & outdoor to play and potty. I would definitely hire them again as I didn't have to worry at all. Thanks Tracey!”
“Jay was fantastic - he set up a meeting beforehand to make sure his and our dogs would get along and to talk through the arrangements. During the stay, he looked after our dog well, walked him daily, played frisbee with him, and sent us photos and videos. Highly recommend!”

I am home full-time, and we have a spacious apartment, plenty of toys, and a large park nearby for daily walks and playtime. Your dog will receive lots of attention, care, and affection in a safe and comfortable environment. 🐾💕 I currently do not work, which allows me to dedicate my full attention to the pets in my care. I am home throughout the day and have a flexible schedule for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. Your dog will be treated like family in our home. I am home full-time and provide constant supervision, so your pup will never feel lonely. We have a safe, clean three-bedroom apartment and a large dog-friendly park in our complex. I also have a super friendly 7-month-old dog who loves playing with other dogs and providing companionship. I follow each pet’s routine, including walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and plenty of love and attention.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life as I have had 4 dogs and 3 cats. I’ve been trusted to take care of other families pets when they are out of town as well. I love walking and being outside especially when I can be around animals. I’m currently a full time student at the University of Hawaii studying biochemistry, but still have plenty of time to hang out with pups and cats! I love walking and playing with dogs. I can adapt to any type/size of dog as I have had dogs of all sizes growing up.
“Erika did a great job taking care of our kittens. She was very responsive and provided detailed descriptions of what happened during her visit. The pictures she provided reassured our family that the cats were having a good time with her. Will definitely call her in the future when our cats require someone to watch over them.”
“Debi was very professional, trustworthy and reliable while checking in with our cat for a week. Our family is grateful to have found such a great guardian. We enjoyed our vacation without any worries!!!!”
“Alyssa was great. She took care of my senior adopted Siamese Sarah with love and care, and made sure I received updates on how everything was going per visit. I highly recommend Alyssa and will definitely request her services again when I need to leave town.”
“I can't say enough how wonderful it's been to have Stacey looking after my fur babies. She is so patient with both my boys, especially my super shy little guy. Both clearly remembered her and Aero warmed up immediately. And by the end of our short trip, even shy Beau got comfortable enough to emerge from under the bed and peek out into the living room while Stacey was there. I'm so thankful to have found someone to give my boys loving attention whenever I have to be away from them. Peace of mind? Priceless!”
“Sam took care of my two cats (5 years and a kitten) for a week at my place. She did a wonderful job communicating with me, was so responsive, sent many pictures, and my place was left exactly the same. I would highly recommend Sam and would be glad if she watched my cats again!”
About: I have taken care of lots of pets since I was around 11. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their babies while on trips, or if they needed a day out! I have cared for dogs of different sizes and many breeds as well as cats and I’d be willing to learn to take care of others! I am currently a part time worker and work night times from 6:30pm, so I would have lots of time in the day to care for your animals! I can also do days I may not have on for availability as long as we communicated it. I can do any service until 5pm! Just message me about your needs and we can work through it! I am willing to learn how to cater to your pets needs and keeping the environment happy and the least stressful for your pets so they can be most comfortable while you are away!
“Wendy was amazing. She was available on short notice and took excellent care of my three small dogs. I knew they were in good hands and she sent photos of them every day for me. They required some eye drops and heart medicine which she kept up with. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her. She was able to win over my suspicious little Chihuahua who doesn't trust anyone and she was smiling by the end of the pet-sitting visits. Do your best friend a favor and hire her!”
“Jane did a great job with taking care of my cat! She was friendly and communicative. She took lots of photos for me and I knew my cat was in good hands. I would definitely rehire her again and would highly 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: I understand the temperament of kitties and understand that they are different from dogs, so I treat them accordingly by paying attention to them because I want to understand them so I can love them the best way I can!
About: I grew up with cats and loved my own more than I can say… especially because he was a bit of a jerk 😹! I understand all the eccentricities because mine only liked brita water, would lick the top of the dry food to make sure he got the freshest batch, and would stare at me while I was sleeping to watch for the slightest stir ⏰ Ever aince I lost my baby, I have sat for friend’s cats to get my cat time! I have experience with a plethora of normal and special needs, including litter cleaning (even if they miss), asthma, blindness, deafness, kidney disorders, elderly, feeding, and more. I love all cats and I am patient and independent so I completely understand all personalities!

“Emily was so responsive and great with my pup! She went the extra mile to share information and photos. :) I know caring for a puppy has its challenges, but she was absolutely excited and willing to spend time with my pup. Highly recommend Emily! Thank you!!”
About: I’m a big animal lover and have had a dog for over 17 years and have cared for a variety of pets, including birds, cats, and guinea pigs. I’ve pet-sat (fed, bathed, walked) for close family and friends. I feel that our pets are like our ohana, and they deserve our love and attention 24/7. I currently work full-time but have been dog-walking and sitting for some time. I volunteered with cat rescue centers and adopted w of them. Although I work full time, I'm usually free on the weekends and weekdays available after 2 pm but flexible. Summers are very flexible as I’m off work. I’ll ensure your pet receives my attention and care in my care. I have 2 rescue cats that I adopted and a Maine Coon. I feed them wet food 2 x day and yummy snacks/treats, take them out the yard for walks with their body leash for some fresh air. They get a lot of love, cuddles and belly rubs. I love all animals & have treated all my feather and furry pets this way. I’m able to take your cat or dog out to a nearby park to walk or play with them wherever you feel they would like. I will provide all the TLC they deserve and treat them as if they’re my own.
About: My family has had so many different kinds of animals throughout my entire life. Several dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, tortoises, birds, pigs, bunnies, and chameleons! I work as a DoorDasher, so I make my own hours, which means I can give your pets my full time and attention! I’m constantly helping taking care of the animals in my family’s home, so I have a lot of practice! Since my family has many animals, I do not offer boarding, but my husband is a Rover sitter, so I have have already learned so much from him about making sure the pets we take care of are as comfortable as possible! We are very communicative with our clients and make sure to send frequent updates.

About: Aloha! Official animal lover here, who’s had and taken care of various types of pets from Tarantulas, Turtles, Hamsters, Gerbils, Chameleons, parakeets, frogs, to rabbits, fish, cats and dogs! I would love to watch your furbaby and take great care of her/him! I’m experienced with caring for dogs of all stages, big or small. I like to exercise, so your dog will get plenty of exercise (walk or run) with me:) I also speak Japanese and Spanish! I do not work, but do travel often to mainland as I have elderly parents. So when I’m on island I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. My husband works from home, and we recently bought a spacious single-family home with a yard and large lanai, so your dogs can enjoy hanging out inside or outside.
“Sis was wonderful with our dog! Our pup is only nine months old so I was a bit worried about leaving her, but Sis made her feel right at home. She loved going over there every morning for doggy sitting. I would definitely use her again.”
“Lilian did an excellent job watching Lucy. I would highly recommend her to anyone ?. I look forward to contacting you in the future and will recommend you also. Aloha”
About: Lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including large breeds. I recently lost a beloved family dog in Japan, which deepened my appreciation for the importance of compassionate, attentive care for animals. Although I do not currently have a pet of my own, I stay closely connected to animals through volunteering at the humane society, where I help care for and socialize dogs of different temperaments and needs. I am active, reliable, and very attentive to each animal’s individual personality and routine. I enjoy providing safe, loving care, regular exercise, and meaningful companionship tailored to each dog’s needs—whether that means calm indoor time, structured walks, or active outdoor time for more energetic dogs. I work mostly remotely, so I’m home the majority of the day and can provide consistent care and attention. I do have occasional appointments, but I plan my schedule to ensure pets are always checked on and cared for regularly. I’m also very active and enjoy hiking and outdoor time, so I’m happy to include pets who enjoy walks, exercise, and being out and about. I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care or medications. In the home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and not alone for long periods, giving them consistent companionship and supervision. I keep the environment clean, calm, and stress-free, and I’m very respectful of the client’s home, treating it with care as if it were my own.
About: Exclusive, one-on-one dog care in my Waimānalo home on a fully fenced, quarter-acre property. I provide personalized attention, behavioral understanding, and a calm, loving environment tailored to your dog's individual needs. Only one guest at a time. Your dog is my priority. If and when I am out, your dog will be inside the home that was specifically created with your dog comfort. Each day follows a calm, structured rhythm based on the individual dog. Mornings begin with outdoor movement, followed by relaxed, unhurried meals. The day balances activity and rest, with space to move, play, and decompress, while gentle guidance is naturally integrated throughout. Evenings are calm and predictable, allowing each dog to fully settle in a safe, peaceful home with one-on-one attention..
“Lauren was super nice and very easy to communicate with. Their house is very dog friendly and they have a great yard and baby gates to ensure the pups stay under supervision. My dog Dolly made herself right at home with their kids and dog and had a great time at daycare. I didn't worry about her at all, and we would love to book with them again!”
“Thank you for taking care of my baby even though it was a short time request! Daisy and her boyfriend were very responsible and had smooth communications. I highly recommend them and definitely I will book them again.”

“Sofia is excellent! She connected with Kobe instantly and has a beautiful space and park to walk them in. I highly recommended her! Thank you Sofia! 🙏🏽”
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 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 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 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.
About: Have had dogs most of my life. We have a safe and comfortable space for dogs to run around in. I also take morning and evening walks to keep them busy. Flexible with our schedule! I am home all day so will be with your pup the entire duration of the stay. Any nuances in schedule will be reflected on the calendar. I have an acre fenced yard that is well maintained and all grass. Plenty of activities and toys to keep them busy. I am only looking to house one dog at a time.
About: I've grown up around animals, rescued many dogs, owned horses, puppies, cats, fish-- you name it! Avid animal lover and knowledgeable dog owner. Experience with larger bully breeds and high energy breeds (e.g., German Shepherd, Malinois, Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Husky, Rottweiler, Pit Bulls, etc.). I am a calm, confident dog handler with a soft spot for larger bully breeds, but have experience with all kinds of dogs. I've raised three puppies and have rehabilitated abused malinois and pit bulls with fear and aggression issues. Comfortable around all dogs, with a patient and loving demeanor. Working part-time from home with plenty of time to love on your furry family member. I have a 1yr old scrappy rescue kitty and a 2yr old friendly and energetic aussie/collie in my home. We are very active and explore the island regularly, be it hiking, swimming or romping around the dog park. Love staying active and bringing along four legged friends for the adventure. My pets are my babies and they get plenty of love and attention throughout the day, as will yours! If I'm home, my pets are my shadow (including using me as a human cushion when I'm relaxing on the couch ha) and if I have to leave, it's never for more than 4hrs. I usually leave to adventure with my dog, which means hiking, swimming or dog park activities. Your dog will get the same love, affection and exercise as my own gets and will be treated as family. We have a small fenced yard for frequent potty breaks and go on daily sniffari walks.
About: Aloha! I'm Victoria - a lifelong animal lover who truly understands what your pet needs to feel safe and happy.

I spend quality time with them (not just quick visits) and handle basic tasks like mail and plants. You'll get regular photo updates throughout.
“Karen was wonderful!!! As soon as I booked her she called me up to introduce herself and asked if I had any special requests. My dog suffers from anxiety and therefore I’m always anxious to leave him with new people. The moment I met Karen I knew my dog was going to like her. She’s warm and gentle with a bubbly personality. She sent me many photos and responded to my text messages right away. I’d recommend her in a heart beat!”
“Naudia was key in making our Oahu vacation a truly memorable one. We flew with our pups to Oahu to celebrate a cousin's birthday. Not only did we get to see the island with them, but we also got to do adult activities as they stayed with Naudia. She was very responsive & even gave Charlotte some pumpkin to help her upset tummy. Book with her - she will surely take care of your pups!”
“Rose was incredible with Kuma!! She responded to all of my messages quickly, sent photos, kept her busy and happy all day. She was also very flexible when I had to push back my pick up time. I will absolutely be booking with Rose again!! 😊”
“Maple was great, we’d definitely love for her to watch our pup Lovely again. Maple accepted our last-minute request, and responded quickly. Then, during Lovely’s day with Maple, Maple sent lots of updates, with pictures and videos. Lovely is shy around new people, but Maple was patient with her and let her take the lead on what she was comfortable with. For example, Lovely was shy to go in the house at first, so Maple set her up on a long-line on the deck and kept the door open so Lovely could go inside whenever she was ready. This was our first time using Rover, and we’re so grateful to have found Maple!”
About: Going on vacation should not be stressful for you or your pet. Your pet will enjoy their own mini-vacay with me! I enjoy creating interactive games or adventures outdoors. I worked 3 years emergency veterinary medicine and 2 years as a vet tech so I know what to look out for and can also provide special needs if your pet requires it. I have experience in training dogs also, so I can keep up with whatever your training plan is if your pup is still in training! I make healthy homemade training treats so I will share those and make them feel spoiled. If your dog is up for it, I would love to take them to hang out with friends' dogs, hiking, running, or some beach fun. It is best to keep a dog on a similar schedule that they are used to so please let me know what your dog's routine usually is. Please let me know if your dog is or isn't friendly with other dogs. I also have experience with cats and have had rabbits for 12 years so I can help no matter what your fluffy family is! Ask me about multiple pet discounts! *Limited experience with whelping and rearing puppies under 8 weeks. Let me know what your pet's usual routine is, or favorite toys, or what things they enjoy doing most so we can do them together. I can accommodate pet sitting in your home with a variety of scenarios, no matter if your pet is crate-trained or is a bedtime snuggler.

About: I’ve had 4 long-time canine companions over the course of my life, Mutsy, Rusty, Petey & Molly. Each one still holds a very special place in my heart. After we lost Molly, I began volunteering at the Hawaii Island Humane Society. There I had the opportunity to work with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, etc. The most important thing I learned is that to work with a dog effectively, you must gain its trust. By reading a dog’s body language and verbal cues you can tune into what is needed to provide the best care possible. I hope you will trust me to take great care of your dog whenever you need assistance with walks, pet sitting/visits, and/or bathing needs. I am generally available between 10am to 6pm Monday through Friday, although my schedule is flexible. Feel free to contact me if you have pet care needs that vary outside of those days & hours. I am available to provide pet care in your home as needed. That could include visits, pet sitting, baths, and/or overnight stays. I am very conscientious about taking care of any & all agreed upon responsibilities.
“Terrific! Great communication, prompt, and super patient with Lily who is timid. Thank you so much for helping her get used to meeting new people! Also amazing that she let you pet her on the second meeting!”
“Kylie was extremely sweet and punctual (we met at the dog park). I needed help with taking Olive to the park due to a mild knee injury. Kylie was ready to help supervise Olive, who is still young and needs breaks during play to encourage good manners. Kylie would throw the ball and distract Olive as needed so she could engage in calmer play with other dogs. Kylie obviously likes animals and was warm to Olive who is a messy water drinking and likes to play with wet dirt cover tennis balls at the park.”
“Miki and her husband were absolutely fantastic! They went above and beyond all of my expectations while caring for my 4-year-old Labrador, Mana. They kept him active and happy by taking him on hikes, to the beach, and to parks, and it was clear he was treated like part of their family. They sent me photos and updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I was able to truly relax during my trip knowing Mana was in such loving and capable hands. I couldn’t be happier with the care they provided. Mana came home happy, healthy, and pooped which is great for our super active dog. I highly recommend Miki and her husband to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters, and I will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of my fur baby!”
“Taylor is an absolutely fantastic sitter! Her communication and care for my dogs was amazing. She was timely with her appointments and super flexible with my specific requests for reaching my dogs. I’ll definitely be requesting her again!”
About: I’ve been helping take care of animals since I was a little girl. I’ve had and fostered dogs of all sizes and loved cats my whole life. I have experience with exotic birds, chickens, and reptiles as well! I recently moved to Waimanalo to live with my partner, who is also a petsitter, and his family. I work part time in Waimanalo a few days a week, so I’d be staying overnight with them and spending off time making sure they’re taken care of. Being mindful is something that I think is most important in regards to caring for pets. Whether it’s of their needs, location and so on.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind for over 6 years! They bring me ultimate joy, so why not make it a full-time job? I currently do not work, rover is the only job I do full-time, so I am almost always available to dog sit. I love dogs, and would love to make yours apart of my weekly routine. I have a community dog park in my neighborhood that your dogs will love. I would take the pups out on walks (if it’s not too hot), or just snuggle them all day if that’s what they wanted. I would show them ultimate love and attention while they are in my care!

I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs and routine. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care or medications. In the home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and not alone for long periods, giving them consistent companionship and supervision. I keep the environment clean, calm, and stress-free, and I’m very respectful of the client’s home, treating it with care as if it were my own.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I am a lover of all animals, and since I don't currently have any pets of my own, I would love to spend time caring for yours! When you book with me, you are getting peace of mind that your pets will be well cared for while you are away. I am a full time doctoral student but I still I have plenty of time to watch and play with your pet. My schedule is generally flexible and I'm available most days. My number one priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and healthy! I treat your pets like they are my own, and you can trust that your pet will be in good hands. Please feel free to leave detailed care instructions & house rules and I will be sure to follow them. Another thing I always try to prioritize is taking cute photos of your pet, because you can never have too many memories :')
“Nicole was fantastic! She bonded with our dog right away and put us and him at ease. She’s been easy to work with and takes special care of our pet, all you can ask of someone coming to your home to take care of your pet. Highly recommend Nicole !”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs of every breed and size my whole life. My household growing up has always had at least 1 extra fluffy family member making our lives better. I have always had a way with dogs, and have been one to call on to take care for the likes of family, friends, and strangers alike. I work 12 hour days on the weekend and love to fill the rest of my time with taking care of your extra loved one. I spend most of my time in nature, working out (outdoors and indoors), surfing, martial arts, and studying / learning new things everyday. Care has to do with reading what the dog is trying to communicate. I want to make sure he/she is on their proper eating schedule, rest when they are tired, walked and played with when they have energy and the zoomies. Making sure he/she doesn’t run out into the middle of the street or gets aggression from other dogs is vital. I have a semi-fenced yard with an open driveway. There’s a dog park very close by. When taking care of dogs at your property, I make it my mission to follow the house rules to a tee when it comes to furniture and indoor/outdoor rules.
About: Exclusive, one-on-one dog care in my Waimānalo home on a fully fenced, quarter-acre property. I provide personalized attention, behavioral understanding, and a calm, loving environment tailored to your dog's individual needs. Only one guest at a time. Your dog is my priority. If and when I am out, your dog will be inside the home that was specifically created with your dog comfort. Each day follows a calm, structured rhythm based on the individual dog. Mornings begin with outdoor movement, followed by relaxed, unhurried meals. The day balances activity and rest, with space to move, play, and decompress, while gentle guidance is naturally integrated throughout. Evenings are calm and predictable, allowing each dog to fully settle in a safe, peaceful home with one-on-one attention..
About: I’ve taken care of an 11 year old fur baby till her last breath and I am very patient with all the animals!

I am a huge dog lover who enjoys spending time with fur babies of all ages and personalities. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just extra attention, I’m here to make sure they have a fun, safe, and a happy time! I recently graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and I have returned back home. I am a dog owner myself.

I am patient, committed to keeping pet owners updated with photos and communication, and really enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality :)! I have a fenced yard with a grass area where dogs can explore around and/or use the potty. My house is ac so if needed, keep them cool :)!

About: Hi, I’m Lani! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have been caring for them since I was a little girl. To me, dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat every pup I care for with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m a proud dog mom to my fun-loving, friendly girl, Dreamy! She’s house-trained, sweet, and loves making new furry friends. 🐾 I’m especially excited to offer house sitting, where I can stay in your home and give your pets plenty of companionship, cuddles, playtime, walks, and attention while you’re away. I know how much peace of mind it can bring to know your pets are happy and comfortable in their own home—and I’m happy to help keep things running smoothly while you’re gone. I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits if your pup just needs some exercise, potty breaks, playtime, or a little extra love during the day. Whether your dog is energetic and ready for an adventure, a professional cuddler, or somewhere in between, I’d love to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐕💛 I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! 🏡 Work-From-Home & Flexible Schedule I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be around throughout the day. This is especially great for pets who enjoy having someone nearby for companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m available for overnight house sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits, and I can work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I love being able to provide a calm, comfortable environment where your pets can feel relaxed and cared for while you’re away. 🐾💛 I have a fenced and large back yard so there's plenty of room for your pup to run and play. I am also able to crate train if needed.

Miki spoiled Wilbur with multiple walks and treated him like her own fur kid during daily errands. We are so grateful to have found Miki! We highly recommended her to take care of your fur kids. Thanks Miki and family.”

About: I’ve grown up with cats since I was 4 years old and was responsible for all of their needs - feeding, brushing, nail clipping, litter cleaning, and of course playing and cuddling. I cared for them through their old age providing medication, physical therapy exercises, and inserting IV drips. I’ve also been my friends’ dog sitter (funcle) over the past 6 years, giving them all the walks, pets, attention, and playtime they need while their parents are away. I currently work full-time from home and can give all the attention to your pets’ throughout the work hours of the weekdays! I like to be active after work and weekends, and can take your pups out for runs or hikes, or we could lounge and chill if that’s what they need. I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s pet friendly. We have no pets at home right now so I’ll be around to give full attention to your pet!
