“jacque was awesome! I’m always so nervous to leave my baby, but she put me at ease right when we met. ghost was sooooo happy and had a wonderful time while i was away! i’ll definitely call jacque again when i need her! ✨💚✨💚”
“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!”
“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 !”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: I have taken care of and had dogs my whole life! I had four dogs growing up as a kid that I watched while my parents went away, and now I have a fur baby of my own! I am a school psychologist by day :) Looking for something to on weekends on this beautiful island! Happy to take your dog out for weekend walks As the mom of an anxious pup, I am familiar with how to care for, leave, and greet your pup! I am familiar with crating dogs before leaving, sneaking out, or just saying goodbye!
“This was our first time sending our dog off to a sitter, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out. Kyrie and her family did a wonderful job watching Tuxedo, our boston terrier. We were gone for a whole week. She sent daily photo updates, which gave us peace of mind. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter for their pet!”
“Senne was very punctual and took great care of our fur babies. She sent us pictures everyday and cared for them so well. Will definitely add her to my list of sitters for my fur babies for when I need someone to watch them in the future.”
“Tracey was super patient with all our pre-visit inquiries & requests. She met w/us beforehand to introduce her mom and show us the room where Bootsie would be housed. Tracey’s mom was a very loving & attentive pet sitter!! Even tho she has two cats of her own, she thoughtfully provided a separate litter box & scratching post for Bootsie’s visit. She was very sensitive to his initial nervousness & gave him extra TLC at the beginning of his stay. We really appreciated the daily photos which Tracey texted every day & have already inquired as to Bootsie’s next stay w/them!!”
“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 🐾”
“Danica is great, she took care of my Tamago like her own. Daily multiple updates and lots of snuggles for my kid. Couldn’t be happier to have left Tamago in her care.”
“We highly recommend Emma. Our pup was well cared for and had the best time napping on a big bean bag chair. Emma sent daily pictures and communication was easy. We will definitely board with Emma again.”
“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!”
“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 .”
“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!”

About: With a decade of cat ownership under my belt, I have a deep understanding of feline needs and behaviors. I've had the pleasure of caring for cats with diverse personalities and temperaments. In addition to my own cat, I've also taken my friends' cats on walks and administered medication when needed. Your feline companions will be in capable hands with me, benefiting from my extensive experience and genuine affection for cats.
“Lani’s stay seemed to go very well and she adapted sooner than I expected. I got pictures of her stay every day if not every other day. She looked at home and comfortable. Had great communication with how the stay went. All and all everything went better than I expected! I’d say I’m very satisfied. Rebecca did a wonderful job taking care of lani!😊”
“This is the second time Julie looked after my Hoku and stayed at my house, and everything was perfect. Communication was easy, she sent me pics of my fur baby, and both the cat and the house were in tip top shape upon my return!”
“Dune has been loving Alyson's drop in visits to let him out during the day when we are working. She has great communication and sends lots of photos. She has good attention to detail and does more than asked, like checking his water bowl. Definitely recommend!”
“Alice was great with my shy cat and made me feel so comfortable being away with sending detailed updates and pictures! Really appreciated the attention, communication and thoughtfulness!😊”
“Mary-Ann was great. Attentive to each cats personality. Knew when to play and knew when they just needed love (lots of pets). She helped put our mind at ease while traveling.”
“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!”
“Rose was so great and helpful. When all other sitters failed and friends that usually watch Leia were out of town, she got back to me with such short notice and provided great care for her. Would recommend!!!”
“Laura did an excellent job taking care of my cats while I was out of town for the weekend. Great communication during the entire weekend too. Highly recommend her service if you are in need of a pet sitter. Thanks so much Laura!!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong, hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ve grown up caring for Labs, Rottweilers, Chihuahuas, Border Collies, Huskies, and a Mini Goldendoodle — so I understand everything from high-energy working breeds to small companion dogs. When I was 14 years old, I became the primary caregiver for my Chihuahua, who was under a year old when we brought her home. I cared for her throughout her entire life, including providing attentive, compassionate senior care as her needs changed in her later years. That experience taught me responsibility, patience, and how to adjust care as dogs age. I’ve also cared for an energetic Husky, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs who need structured exercise and mental stimulation. I raised my Mini Goldendoodle from 6 weeks old and handled all of her training, so I’m confident working with puppies and reinforcing good habits. I truly believe dogs deserve an enriching life beyond the home. I love beach walks and hikes, and I tailor each outing to match a dog’s energy level and personality. While dogs may be part of our world, to them we are their whole world — and I care for every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work remotely from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention for dogs in my care. During working hours, I’m available for shorter walks (up to 30 minutes), drop-ins, and in-home care. My meeting schedule varies day to day, so timing during work hours will need flexibility, but I always communicate clearly to coordinate a time that works best. After 3:00 PM, I have full availability for longer walks, outings, and dedicated time with your dog. In My Home: Dogs staying with me have access to my office/guest room, the main living areas, and a fully fenced backyard at all times. Because I work remotely from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, I’m home throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. Dogs are never isolated and can stay near me while I work, helping them feel comfortable and secure. They’ll also have the opportunity to play with my docile and friendly Mini Goldendoodle, Nova, who loves having company. Of course, I always prioritize safe, positive introductions and will separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I provide regular walks, playtime, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level — whether that’s relaxed outdoor time or more active exercise. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any specific care instructions closely to make the transition from your home to mine as smooth as possible. Drop-In Visits (Client’s Home): For drop-ins, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine consistent in their familiar environment. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I always respect your home and leave it exactly as I found it, and I provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Kara was wonderful! She truly went above and beyond when we needed coverage at the last minute. I am so grateful we found her and feel lucky to have her in the neighborhood. Thank you so much!”
“Karen and Tony have been dropping in to my apartment for take care of my cats for some time now. They are responsive, reliable, and very easy to communicate with. I trust them fully and definitely recommend them to anyone!”

“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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: I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with animals, including more than 5 years as a kennel assistant and 5 years as a veterinary assistant. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve developed strong skills in administering medications, including insulin and asthma treatments. My time in a veterinary hospital has also given me valuable experience working with animals of all temperaments, allowing me to stay calm, patient, and attentive in any situation. I’m a full-time pet sitter, which means your pet gets my complete time, attention, and care. I’m dedicated to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved, and that their time with me is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. I have 5 years of veterinary medical experience and feel confident providing a wide range of care for pets of all needs—from those requiring more involved medical support to those who simply need extra love and cuddles. I take cleanliness and safety seriously, thoroughly cleaning and sanitizing between each client to ensure a healthy, comfortable environment for your furry friend.
About: This is a very happy and loving home, and I have years of experience with animals and pet sitting. I have been part of a service dog organization for 8 years as a volunteer puppy raiser and now have a trained service dog who visits with me at Hospice, schools, etc. I also volunteered with Therapeutic horses and have been pet sitting around the world with TrustedHousesitters. I teach from home and spend all day with my dog. She is an 8-year-old Labradoodle and has amazing manners. I have a big yard and plenty of toys, and I also take at least one walk a day. I have a fenced-in, large yard with covered areas of shade. I always care for pets as if they were my own beloved family members.
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.
“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!”
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.
“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: I work from home, so your pet gets constant attention and care. Clean, calm home with a fenced yard for safe play. Daily walks that dogs love to join. I also love to run if your pup does! Experience in veterinary settings; comfortable administering medication. I only host 1–2 dogs at a time for personalized care. Single dog stays available upon request. Active or low energy, I match your pet’s needs. I work from home, so your pet will have consistent attention and companionship throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, potty breaks, or playtime whenever needed. I’m also close enough to walk to and from my kids school, so a twice a day walk is guaranteed. I’m happy to match your pet’s energy — whether that’s a relaxed day lounging in the sun, short walks, or going for a jog. On weekends, I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, but I also love quiet days at home with movies and downtime. Whatever your pet prefers, I can accommodate. In your home, I will stick closely to your pet’s routine and any house rules you have in place. I hold a Top Secret clearance, so you can trust that your home and belongings are in safe, responsible hands. In my home, I have a calm, structured environment. I have a spayed, very submissive hairless Xoloitzcuintli who does well with other pets. My kids are with me part time and are very respectful of animals and mindful about doors and boundaries. I have a cat who was raised in a foster environment and is very comfortable around other animals. My home is a safe, low stress space where pets can relax and feel at ease.
About: I’ve taken care of a handful of dogs before and every experience I’ve had was nothing short of amazing. I hope to have the privilege to experience more of that. I’m currently unemployed and hoping to make a little money so fitting your babies into my schedule is no problem at all as I'm only doing school now. I currently only have Guinea pigs and cats in my home, we have had dogs before but not anymore. I would say the care I give my animals goes above and beyond, I absolutely adore my babies so nothing is too much for them. I feed, play and clean up after them every single day and I really do enjoy all of it. Animals are absolutely my passion and i hope to pursue something long term involving them and so it is my absolute pleasure to watch over your babies because they get me one step closer to being able to do that. Two words I would use to describe my cats, loved and spoiled.
“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, I’m Angela! I have 10 years of pet sitting and 18 years as a dog owner! I understand that pets are family. I was raised with dogs and rabbits, and later adopted two wonderful senior dogs from the Humane Society, who taught me so much about love, patience, and care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry loved ones, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just quiet company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home which provides flexibility throughout my day after dropping my daughter off at school. With that said, dependent on your needs, I’m able to accommodate your schedule to my best ability as long as we have discussed a weekly schedule in advance. sorry, I cannot care for your pet at my home due to lease restrictions! However, I have many years of experience of caring for pets and children as a nanny throughout graduate school. I’m respectful, always keep your home clean (if not cleaner!) throughout my service.

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 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.
“This was my very first time using Rover. Tracey and her mom was very professional. Tracey answered my messages right away, they sent pictures throughout the day, I got a summery of the day and TK seemed happy to be there. I would definitely leave my baby with Tracey and her mom again! They understand that our furry babies are so precious to us!”
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.

“Brianna and Iggy had a fantastic time walking, she is kind and compassionate with Iggy. She Is absolutely fantastic and I'll reach out to her for help again. Mahalo Iggy & Johnny”
About: Aloha! I am a dog-loving, mom of three boys, two dogs, and a military spouse of 15 years. Being flexible and dependable is pretty much my lifestyle. I grew up with dogs, and I’ve personally cared for my own since I was an adult. I have also fostered rescue dogs for Okinawa Stray Pet Rescue. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, all sizes, and dogs from newborn puppy to 15 year old seniors with very limited mobility. I am probably over paranoid when it comes to safety, so you can trust that your dog will be in good, responsible hands! I understand that each dog is unique, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident in who you choose to care for your fur baby, and I’m happy to provide what your pup needs! My only time constraints are shuttling kids to and from school and activities so I have lots of free time to spend with your pup! As previously mentioned, I am very cautious and your dog’s safety is my top priority. I have personally owned dogs who are “runners” so I’m constantly aware of my surroundings and the dog’s behavior when caring for them.
“Alyson is awesome, always on time, and always keeps us updated in how our dog does on her walks. We are using a dog walker every other week to expose our fearful dog to more people (recommended by trainer). We appreciate Alyson being part of our journey in helping our pup being less fearful.”

“Whitney is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and experienced with animals and it shows. My puppy always looks to be having a great time in the pictures she provides to keep us updated on his walks. Her training experience shows as she is working with my puppy at doing better at walking on a leash. It shows when we take him for walks later how much is his picking up from Whitney. We would highly recommend Whitney for all your pet needs!”
“Alexis was awesome and took great care of Ridge. She has excellent communication and really does take pride in caring for your animals. I felt very comfortable with her and I’d be happy to have her care for my pup any day.”
“Pono doesn’t trust just anyone, so I was pleasantly surprised Kellie was able to coax him out of his crate and on a walk! She was patient and took a lot of time and care to make sure he was comfortable. Such a relief on a busy day at work!!”
About: Since childhood I've had pets of all shapes and sizes. Let me care for your pet as you would do. They are ohana and deserve the very best! I'm currently working part-time and am home for the majority of time most days. Occasionally I do have to go into the office for 4 hour periods. I will visit or stay with your pet in your home. I will walk them as requested. Provide multiple potty breaks throughout the day. Clean drinking water will always remain accessible, and the feeding schedule will follow your directions. Leave me with clear instructions and I will make sure that they are safe, comfortable and happy while you are away.
“Laura helped with our dogs when we were on vacation. We scheduled a time for her to meet them when we arrived, so they were familiar with her. She was awesome and took good care of our babies! It's obvious, she loves pups.”

I’ve also cared for an energetic Husky, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs who need structured exercise and mental stimulation. I raised my Mini Goldendoodle from 6 weeks old and handled all of her training, so I’m confident working with puppies and reinforcing good habits. I truly believe dogs deserve an enriching life beyond the home. I love beach walks and hikes, and I tailor each outing to match a dog’s energy level and personality. While dogs may be part of our world, to them we are their whole world — and I care for every dog as if they were my own. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work remotely from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Being home throughout the day allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention for dogs in my care. During working hours, I’m available for shorter walks (up to 30 minutes), drop-ins, and in-home care. My meeting schedule varies day to day, so timing during work hours will need flexibility, but I always communicate clearly to coordinate a time that works best. After 3:00 PM, I have full availability for longer walks, outings, and dedicated time with your dog. In My Home: Dogs staying with me have access to my office/guest room, the main living areas, and a fully fenced backyard at all times. Because I work remotely from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, I’m home throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, potty breaks, and attention. Dogs are never isolated and can stay near me while I work, helping them feel comfortable and secure. They’ll also have the opportunity to play with my docile and friendly Mini Goldendoodle, Nova, who loves having company. Of course, I always prioritize safe, positive introductions and will separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I provide regular walks, playtime, and enrichment based on each dog’s energy level — whether that’s relaxed outdoor time or more active exercise. I follow feeding schedules, routines, and any specific care instructions closely to make the transition from your home to mine as smooth as possible. Drop-In Visits (Client’s Home): For drop-ins, I focus on keeping your dog’s routine consistent in their familiar environment. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I always respect your home and leave it exactly as I found it, and I provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs and animals, helping raise my family’s pets and learning firsthand how to provide the best possible care. I’m also a volunteer with the Humane Society, where I’ve fostered injured dogs back to full recovery as well as kittens and cats ranging from just 2 weeks old to a few years old. I currently live in Kailua on Oahu and am excited to help as many pet owners as I can. I truly love animals and always treat them like family, making sure your furry loved one feels safe, happy, and well cared for. As an added bonus, I also offer complimentary pet photography for any pets I care for, so you’ll receive some special photos of your pet during their time with me. Through my experience, I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines. I provide personalized care that can include feeding, walks, playtime, training reinforcement, rest, medication administration, and socialization. I am comfortable administering medications to both cats and dogs, and many of the animals I’ve fostered required medical care and rehabilitation, giving me hands-on experience with sick or injured pets as well. Reach out to me at any time! I am happy to help when I can:) I am readily available any day and any time at the moment! I also exercise daily and go on long walks. More than happy to include a pet during this time for some exercise! With my experience I know that every pet has its own routine and different approach that is needed for care. Care includes feeding, exercise/ playtime, training, rest, medication routine, and socialization. The animals I have voluntarily fostered all required medication and rehabilitation due to injuries/illness from being stray animals. This experience taught me how to care for sick/injured animals as well.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds for years and would love to be of service to someone who needs help on the weekends, early mornings, or evenings. I would be happy to sit and hang out with an elderly dog or take your active pup on a hike. When I’m not with your dog, I’m working at castle hospital, at the gym or doing photography. I work 8-4pm Monday to Friday so I’m open to early morning walks or evening check ins until 10pm. Open to flexible needs on the weekends and holiday coverage. I currently live with a husky so it would be best if I came to your home. Unfortunately, I am allergic to cats so I can’t be around them but dogs are okay!

“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!”

Thank you for taking such good care of him 🐾”

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.
“We had such a wonderful experience with Kayla. They took care of our dog for the day, and we couldn’t be happier with the level of care and attention provided. From the moment we dropped him off, it was clear our pup was in good hands—he was comfortable right We highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable dog sitter. We will definitely book again in the future!”
