“James took good care of Momo and we appreciated the regular updates and photos he sent to us while we were away. Momo likes attention and James was very attentive to her needs. James also has a large fenced yard that was good for Momo to enjoy and explore.”
“Jess (and family) were absolutely fantastic with our pup while we were off island for nearly 3 weeks! Jess was wonderful with communication and provided updates as well as pictures and videos every single day. They spoiled our pup as if he was their own, and even took extra care on the 4th of July to ensure he wasn't too anxious. He was happy and energized when we picked him up! I can't recommend Jess enough!”
“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.”
“From the moment you meet Sis and her husband, you will know your dog is in good, experienced, and loving hands. They have the perfect setup for happy dogs too, with both large indoor space to play and access to a grassy yard. I felt completely comfortable leaving our dog, and our dog clearly felt happy and comfortable there as well. We will be back!”
“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!”
“Dale and Lauren were great. We got daily pictures and updates on our dog, Milo. They maintained great communication throughout his stay. We will definitely use Dale and Lauren again.”
“Eugene and his family were amazing with our two dogs. They have watched my dogs multiple times now. I received multiple pictures and updates daily throughout their stay. They were also very well taken care of with multiple walks a day and they looked very comfortable staying there. Their dog Manoa is friendly, and my dogs got along great with them. At the end of their stay, I received homemade treats with a sweet note from them, which was a great touch. It is always great to have my dogs stay with Eugene, and I can travel comfortably knowing they are in great hands.”
“Angie took great care of our dog, Koa, while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made sure he was well cared for. We came home to a happy pup and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“McKenley and her husband were so great with Athena ! They took her in like she was their own. They were very open to letting me come visit and had great communication throughout the time of her being there. Athena had a great time with their little pug, going on walks and hikes. I would definitely recommend this little family and will use them again in the future if need be !”
“Miki was amazing! She took Kona hiking, to the beach, and sent videos and photos every day. He was a very happy and tired dog on pickup, which we love! 5 stars and we’ll definitely ask Miki to take care of Kona again. Thanks, Miki!!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Yvette. She took excellent care of our dog for an entire week and gave us great peace of mind with regular updates and photos. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”
“Rebecca was a wonderful, caring sitter for our sweet old gal, Peanur, while we were off island. We got daily updates and photos and could see how happy she was. Rebecca is responsive and kind and made us comfortable and at ease from drop off to pick up.”
“Abigail and her family took wonderful care of our dog, Yuzu, while we were away for two weeks. Daily photos including trips to the beach and the park put our minds at ease, and we would definitely have Yuzu stay with her family again in the future!”
About: Having grown up with 4 dogs (border collie, golden doodle, brittany, and yorkie), it’s safe to say I have always loved animals. I have over 10 years of experience petsitting/housesitting in Chicago. I moved to the island 5 years ago and because I go back to visit family, I sadly haven’t been able to get a pet here. I miss having an animal around and will treat yours as if it were my own and am excited by the idea of getting to spend time with them. I am very attentive and patient, so I will make sure that your pet has everything they need and more. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs and have also cat sat as well in the past for various families. You can trust that your pet will be with a reliable sitter who creates a safe, comfortable environment with personalized attention to each pet. I am home for the majority of the week and am able to stop by your house, take your pet outside, or take them to my house. I am fairly flexible and able to work with your schedule. I am very respectful of other's homes and of their routines. I try to keep the animals as comfortable as possible by continuing to care for them just as you would.
“Carmen and Cameron took wonderful care of my dog. I was looking for last-minute coverage and they were there to help. Carmen is very detail oriented and made sure that the dog was comfortable and everything went smoothly.”
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. 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.

“Eugene and his family took very good care of my cat while I was away. My cat enjoyed lots of play time and have communion in Japanese ,and seemed she was very happy when I arrived home. Thank you very much. ありがとうございました。また宜しくお願いします。”
“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!!!!”
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!
“I can’t sing Leilani and Luke’s praises enough—there’s a reason they are so highly rated. This was our first time booking them and they were absolutely excellent. We have two cats, one of whom is a senior and requires medication twice a day, and they handled everything with such care and professionalism. Their communication was outstanding from start to finish. They met with me before our vacation, were incredibly responsive the entire time, and were flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed. Both Leilani and Luke are kind, polite, and genuinely caring people. It’s always hard to leave our older cat, but having them care for her gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip without worry. We are so grateful for the love, attention, and care they gave both of our cats, and we will definitely be booking them again.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
About: Dog lover with personal cat experience, comfortable and confident caring for cats. Attentive to their needs, providing gentle, reliable, responsible, and caring companionship and supervision.
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: 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!
About: I’m great with all kinds of pets and genuinely love caring for animals. Your pet will be in the best hands while you’re away, whether you need dog sitting, pet sitting, house sitting, or just someone to stop by and check on your home and pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and very trustworthy, and I’ll make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it’s overnight care, daily visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or home check-ins, you can count on me to provide dependable and attentive care. I am a nanny here and there for kids whenever the families need me so I have a lot of free time! I have nannied kids and animals when parents go out of town and they are all taken care of! I have one dog at home who is very old but I love her! I make sure she has food and water at all times! We have a doggy door so that is very helpful but she is old so sometimes I have to let her outside & in! When I am dog sitting I always take the dogs on walks throughout the day to use the bathroom if they don’t outside, I always spend at least 20 minutes throughout the day to play with the animal and make sure they are comfortable and loved on! Usually when I sleepover at people’s houses I let the animal sleep with me if it’s okay with the homeowners!
About: I provide calm, dependable care for cats and understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or more independent, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and check-ins, and I always pay close attention to their behavior and routine. I’m patient, clean, and reliable, and I treat every cat like 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.

“James is the BEST ever! He takes care of our fur baby, Maya, like she is his own. She LOVES him and is so excited to see him!! We are so fortunate to have found her BFF!!”
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.
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.
“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”
“Eugene and his wife took such great care of our puppy!! She is not the easiest dog, but they were so patient with her and very communicative. They sent tons of pictures throughout her stay and kept me updated. Eugene’s wife even made Nalu’s meal extra yummy with chicken and broth. Nalu can’t wait for her next stay!”
“Our dogs were very happy! New to the island, dogs are adjusting. Lauren and Dale kept us updated and sent pictures throughout the dogs’ stay. Highly recommend!”
“Ori had a great time hanging out with Daisy and all of her new friends! We received frequent updates and would happily bring her back again for another play date”

About: My husband and I have always cared for and owned dogs, but we currently don’t have one and are missing our fur friends! I recently moved from England to Hawaii to join my husband here for work, and before welcoming a dog of our own, we’d love to spend time caring for yours! I will be the primary caregiver, as I work fully from home. Back in England, I looked after my mom’s dog almost every day for the past six years whenever I wasn’t working at the hospital, as I worked from home a lot too. I also regularly cared for friends’ and family’s dogs for overnight stays, weekends and holidays. In fact, I became the go-to dog sitter in our little English village! As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Caring for others has always been at the heart of what I do, and I bring that same level of patience, compassion, and commitment to every dog I care for. We know that every dog has their own unique personality and routine, and we’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and so very loved while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, we’ll care for them as if they were our own! I (Carmen) will be the primary caregiver, with Cam (husband) home in the evenings for cuddles and post-dinner beach walks with us. I currently work from home, part-time as a UK-registered Dietitian. I’d love a fur colleague to keep me company! I walk, run or swim at the beach every morning or lunchtime and evenings too, and Kalama Beach is only a 10 minute walk from our house. My husband who is as pup-obsessed as me works with the military (he’s a ex-marine officer) so he’s not around as much but he would absolutely love doggy kisses to welcome him home after work. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a large shared yard that is fully enclosed, with two access points that we securely block off whenever a dog is outside, so they can enjoy the space safely under our supervision. We share the yard with three lovely neighboring couples who are also dog lovers, creating a friendly and welcoming environment. Our home is a spacious two-story, three-bedroom house with plenty of room for your pup to relax. After beach adventures or muddy walks, we even have two bathtub showers ready for rinsing off sandy paws and giving your dog a little spa treatment! We’ll follow your dog’s usual routine, provide lots of love and attention, and ensure they’re always supervised and cared for as if they were our own.
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: With 7+ years as a pet owner, foster, and sitter, I’ve seen (and cleaned up) it all! I'm great with puppies, seniors, and pups with quirky personalities. I give lots of love, patience, and belly rubs—and I always tailor care to your dog’s unique needs. Whether it's giving meds, handling zoomies, or providing a calm cuddle buddy, I'm your dog's home-away-from-home! I’m home full-time, so your pup will have plenty of attention and company throughout the day. We’ve got a fenced yard for safe play, a quiet neighborhood for peaceful walks, and we’re just a block from the beach for a little extra adventure (with permission). My sweet senior dog offers calm companionship to those who need it, and assists with play when the zoomies hit! **Day-Care Services are on weekdays, offering a 2-4hr beach day of supervised play & companionship. Pickup/drop off available!** Your pet’s care will be fully tailored to their needs, preferences, and personality. I don’t overlap boardings with other clients, so your pup gets my full attention and care. In addition to Rover’s standard info, I provide a detailed questionnaire to make sure nothing is missed—your pet’s routine, quirks, and comforts all matter when they’re with me!
“Rebekah and Nova are the best! My little dog LOVES to spend the day with them - he always looks so content when I pick him up. She’s so considerate and very flexible. I highly recommend her as a sitter!”
About: After the death of our beloved dog, our family decided to take a break from dog ownership to heal and rest a bit. I have had dogs (usually more than 1 at a time) my whole life! Pet sitting is my way of loving on dogs during this busy stage of life when I cannot have my own. I would love to shower your dog with lots of love and attention! We do have a kitten in our home. She has adjusted very well to having dogs around. We are a homeschool family and are at home or near home most every day. I would never have to leave your pet for any extended period of time. Not only do we have a fenced in yard, but also live walking distance to a couple of beautiful parks, beaches, and a small dog park. Please be aware that I do have small children. Ages 3, 6, 10, & 12. I will love your pet like my own! Your beloved pet will have snuggles and pets and enjoy walks outside to our local park and dog park if you approve. I live in a beautiful area and love to be outside with furry friends.

“Rose is the perfect dogsitter! My husband and I both work and need someone to watch our Shiba mix or take her on two walks, and Rose was so flexible and easy to work with. Best of all she was so careful introducing our pup to other dogs walking with her, all my anxiety was for nothing :) 10/10 will be booking with Rose again!”
“During my recent move, I needed a sitter for my two dogs during the day & Aralie responded in a timely manner. Aralie watched my dogs for three days and reassured me that they were doing okay by updating me with pictures throughout the day! I definitely recommend!”
“Family is awesome, they were able to take in our dog on short notice. Our girl Tilly came home tired, she was able to get all her energy out. We appreciate you guys!”

“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 !”
“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!”
“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!”

About: What makes me stand out is that my business is insured for the safety and health of all pets in my care. I stay in frequent communication with pet owners to ensure that their beloved pet is safe, comfortable and shown the same love and care as they are accustomed to. I have cared for senior dogs and pay close attention to any behaviors or signs of distress that deviate from what their owners say is their norm. I have a car and have experience with vet er for my own guineapigs and am able to take immediate steps to get pets any vet care they need. I have taken care of dogs, cats and guineapigs. Drop off Time: ** For new clients, please drop off dogs prior to 5pm to allow pet time to settle in before night time. I work from home doing basic remote accounting work while I finish my online courses to pursue my CPA. I am home most of the time aside from stepping out to grocery shop and enjoy beautiful hawaii here and there. It is important that all dogs in my care are crate trained for their safety when I must make short trips out, lasting no longer than 3 hours, averaging 2 hours. (no dog will be crated that has not been crate trained. Dogs not showing any signs of destructive separation anxiety, such as scratching at doors, will not need to be crate trained. Dogs can be expected to be walked at 6am for 30 to 45 minutes depending on how much they like to sniff around. Then another potty break at 10am, 2pm another longer walk at 5:30pm and a final potty break between 8-9pm before bed. I always make sure dogs pee and poop the amount of times is normal for them and keep taking them outside until they go successfully. Night time is usually 9pm-10pm. Dogs that need extra toy play time get to play, fresh water ready for the night. For safety, my business is insured so all pets in my care are covered in any emergencies. The main area dogs will be at is in the living room safe from all things they may be tempted to chew on, knock over or swallow. There is lots of natural light and fresh pacific breeze coming off the mountains into my apartment that dogs love to sploot out on cool tile by the screen doors. Makes for excellent photos! Leashes and harnesses: I inspect all equipment clients provide as pet safety on walks is my top priority. Please insure that you provide safe collars, harnesses and leashes that will ensure your dog will be safe on walks. This means that they cannot slip out of their harness or collar and run off. On Walks: Regardless of your dog's past experiences with other dogs, I will refrain from allowing your dog interact with any dogs unless specifically authorized. I also watch for dogs sniffing around for dangerous "treats" and keep provided treats for if a dog grabs something they are not suppose to. Dogs will never be off leash in my care for any moment of time. This is to keep my insurance on them intact and will make sure that they safe.
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: 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.
“Thank you Debi!!! Today was really good for Lily - we can all tell how much better and more at ease she was today! I'm so glad because I still don't know how long it takes her to get used to strangers, but now I'm optimistic that she will be fine with you when we need you to come dogsit one day!”
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!
“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’m great with all kinds of pets and genuinely love caring for animals. Your pet will be in the best hands while you’re away, whether you need dog sitting, pet sitting, house sitting, or just someone to stop by and check on your home and pets. I’m reliable, responsible, and very trustworthy, and I’ll make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to give owners peace of mind while they’re away. Whether it’s overnight care, daily visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or home check-ins, you can count on me to provide dependable and attentive care. I am a nanny here and there for kids whenever the families need me so I have a lot of free time! I have nannied kids and animals when parents go out of town and they are all taken care of! I have one dog at home who is very old but I love her! I make sure she has food and water at all times! We have a doggy door so that is very helpful but she is old so sometimes I have to let her outside & in! When I am dog sitting I always take the dogs on walks throughout the day to use the bathroom if they don’t outside, I always spend at least 20 minutes throughout the day to play with the animal and make sure they are comfortable and loved on! Usually when I sleepover at people’s houses I let the animal sleep with me if it’s okay with the homeowners!
About: Hi, I’m Bella! 🐶🐾 I’m a dependable, compassionate pet sitter who truly loves caring for animals. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember.

I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and communicative, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring hands and getting plenty of love, attention, and happy tail wags while you’re away! I have a pretty open schedule currently so I’m often on walks, hikes, or at the beach swimming with the pups ! I love exploring the island with a furry little friend . I am very knowledgeable on tons of different breeds and different behaviors so I know what steps I need to take in order for them to be safe. I make sure my animals are always in the best hands and would do the same while pet sitting/ walking.

About: I am my mother's fourth child (I grew up with three golden retrievers). Two of the goldens still go to the beach everyday at ages 15 and 16 (they still live with my mother). I've been swimming, walking, playing, washing, cooking for, feeding, cleaning up after, chauffeuring and generally chilling with dogs almost everyday for 15 years. I'm accustomed to medication regimens and mindful of safe play, especially for elderly and disabled dogs. I'm also very comfortable with large and extra-large dogs.

I am on a work sabattical, so I am happy to tailor my schedule to you and your dog's needs. Please provide me with advance notice of your schedule whenever possible. I prefer to care for your dog in their home so that they are the most comfortable. Otherwise I would prefer that your dog and I establish a few walks or activities before boarding at my place, so that they feel safe and comfortable with me.

“Jess (and family) were absolutely fantastic with our pup while we were off island for nearly 3 weeks! Jess was wonderful with communication and provided updates as well as pictures and videos every single day. They spoiled our pup as if he was their own, and even took extra care on the 4th of July to ensure he wasn't too anxious. He was happy and energized when we picked him up! I can't recommend Jess enough!”
“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!”
“Dale and Lauren were great. We got daily pictures and updates on our dog, Milo. They maintained great communication throughout his stay. We will definitely use Dale and Lauren again.”
“Eugene and his family were amazing with our two dogs. They have watched my dogs multiple times now. I received multiple pictures and updates daily throughout their stay. They were also very well taken care of with multiple walks a day and they looked very comfortable staying there. Their dog Manoa is friendly, and my dogs got along great with them. At the end of their stay, I received homemade treats with a sweet note from them, which was a great touch. It is always great to have my dogs stay with Eugene, and I can travel comfortably knowing they are in great hands.”

It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter”

About: Having grown up with 4 dogs (border collie, golden doodle, brittany, and yorkie), it’s safe to say I have always loved animals. I have over 10 years of experience petsitting/housesitting in Chicago. I moved to the island 5 years ago and because I go back to visit family, I sadly haven’t been able to get a pet here. I miss having an animal around and will treat yours as if it were my own and am excited by the idea of getting to spend time with them. I am very attentive and patient, so I will make sure that your pet has everything they need and more. I have experience with puppies all the way up to senior dogs and have also cat sat as well in the past for various families. You can trust that your pet will be with a reliable sitter who creates a safe, comfortable environment with personalized attention to each pet. I am home for the majority of the week and am able to stop by your house, take your pet outside, or take them to my house. I am fairly flexible and able to work with your schedule. I am very respectful of other's homes and of their routines. I try to keep the animals as comfortable as possible by continuing to care for them just as you would.
“Here’s a warm and appreciative Rover review you can post for Daylin: Daylin did an amazing job taking care of my dog while I was away! She made sure to walk and feed her on schedule and kept me updated every day with pictures. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was well taken care of and getting the attention she needed. I really appreciate how responsible, caring, and attentive Daylin was. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet!”
“My lab had so much fun at her house and came home happy and tired after the weekend. Samantha kept me updated with photos and even took the extra care to reach out to me about my dog's allergies. Drop off/pick up was easy as well. I would 100% recommend her!”
“Brody had a fantastic stay. He is one tired pup now and that can only be down to the incredible attention and playtime he got whilst with Jay and the family. They provided photos and videos frequently. Kept us up to date on anything important and gave Brody so much love and attention. I think he’s going to be missing his buddies for a while! Thank you for taking such good care of him 🐾”
“Naudia was excellent! She was great at communicating with me before and during our (my dogs) stay and even sent me pictures of them playing and exercising while I was gone. The dogs were best friends with her dog Duke by the time I picked them up and”
“Hugo had an amazing time. His first encounter to have a huge yard to play and explore. He definitely was spoiled. The family taking care of Hugo was awesome. They are trust worthy, under standing and accommodating . We also received daily updates and pics of Hugo’s progress which was really nice to get. We would definitely use them again and recommend his service .”
