“Emma has been an amazing part of my Toast’s life. She has taken care of her like her own. Her whole family just welcomed Toast and loved on her every time. We traveled with our Toast and she worked with us and the pet travel company to ensure a smooth travel for Toasty. I literally can’t thank Emma enough for all the love and support over the years, and will definitely use her in the future. Thank you, Emma!!”
“Tracey was great. Easy to deal with and she sent many pictures of Bodhi over the 3 days she was there. Pick up and drop off were seamless and the location was easy to find. Tracey has a great place for the dogs to play outside as well. I will definitely use her again.”
“Diana did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! I loved getting daily pictures. Her xommunication was fantastic, and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”
“Makayla was absolutely wonderful with Huey! From the moment I booked, her communication was exactly what every pet parent hopes for when leaving their dog in someone else’s care. She sent regular updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification, and was proactive about sharing any concerns related to his care. I booked on very short notice and still received top-tier service. It was clear that Makayla genuinely cared about Huey’s comfort, safety, and well-being. Knowing he was in such kind and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trust Makayla completely with my fur babies and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter!”
“KaVina was ABSOLUTELY amazing with my l lil man (Deuce). She kept the pics & videos coming. You could see the joy in my dogs eyes in the pictures & videos, I feel like my guy was truly able to live like he was at home. She took him for walks & played tug of war with him & kept him happy. I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”
“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!”
“This is our Nala's second stay with Jacque and her family. They did a great job taking care of her with patience and understanding, as she is not quite the warm and fuzzy type with new people. She had an experience with a trainer when she was a puppy which left her very fearful and sometimes aggressive towards anyone outside of our family. With lots of patience, Jacque and her family were able to peel some of that fear away. All the pictures and videos of her playing with other dogs and sitting on the couch and hanging out with the family is a huge deal for Nala and for our family. We are grateful and were able to visit family off-island with peace of mind. Mahalo for helping our Nala to grow in trusting others and for caring for her.”
“Hailey and Ben were lifesavers taking our pup last minute and was so sweet about changes in plans. Sent daily pics and took good care of Gordo pup! Thank you guys!”
“Fantastic sitter. Always responsive and sends update photos. Is very caring and was flexible when my travel planes when topsy-turvy. Already looking at next bookings so my baby can go back to hang out with the pack.”
“Scarlett had a great time & did not want to leave her! She was able to adjust her schedule with short notice and would send photos periodically as an update ! Definitely a repeat customer here ! Thanks again !”
“Brianda took great care of our two dogs. Provided daily updates and photos, giving us peace of mind. Would strongly recommend to anybody looking for a place to board their dogs for a short period of time.”
“I just have to give a HUGE shoutout to Charlene for being the absolute best dog sitter for my sweet Miss Ellie! From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing Ellie would be in great hands — and Charlene went above and beyond my expectations. She made sure Ellie ate well, was cared for with love and attention, and stayed happy and comfortable the entire time. I was so impressed by her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Charlene made it such a smooth and worry-free experience. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, loving sitter, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Camille. She was the sweetest person ever. She took such great care of Ziggy. She sent multiple daily updates and pictures letting us know how our baby was doing. It was clear Ziggy was family his entire stay. 100% recommend. Thank you so much.”
“Kea would love to stay with Katharine and David again. He was very well taken care of. He was able to go on an adventure. He liked having his walks and making new friends!”
“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.”
“My little guy stayed with Selena and her husband for the 2nd time and I'm so grateful for their care. I got updates and photos of my skittish pup finding his own comfort in their home.”
“Dianna is the best! She takes the best care of our pup ili. We feel so safe and reassured knowing our pet is in the best hands with Dianna and her family. It’s make taking vacations so easy and care free for us. Dianna is must book for any of dog sitting needs!”

“Caroline was great! Our senior girl really warmed up to her and ended up being super lovey and sweet! Caroline was a very thorough communicator and gave us lots of great pics while we were away. I’d highly recommend Caroline for your fur baby!”
“We’ve been using Lyndi for a couple years now — always super reliable and takes such good care of our “old lady” (almost 18YO cat). Highly recommended if you need someone to watch your fur babies!”
“Daniel is fantastic! Although he is new to Rover, he clearly has a lot of experience with pet-sitting. He took wonderful care of our senior dog and cats. Daniel expertly used all of the features of the Rover website, to include logging check-in and check-out times, GPS tracking for walks, and report cards with photos for every visit. I have never had a sitter this thorough before. Speaking of photos, he took some great quality shots of our pets. I hope Daniel is available to sit for our next vacation, because I plan to be a repeat customer.”
“Ryan is simply fantastic! I travel a lot for my job and it’s been the biggest relief to find someone reliable to care for my cats while I’m out of town. Ryan has done drop-in visits for me twice now and is wonderful with my boys! He’s extremely professional and flexible, and always sends photo updates which I really appreciate. He clearly has a passion for animals and I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for pet care; he’s my go-to now and I wouldn’t want anyone else!”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of my cat while I was gone on vacation. She was prompt, reliable, gained the trust of my shy cat, and took daily pics of her. I was able to travel comfortably without worrying how she was doing. I plan to use her when I travel again.”
About: Ive had cats since before I could remember and am the biggest cat lover. Family and neighbors have relied on me to make sure their cat has the loving care they need (feeding, cleanliness, playing, and grooming). I am a patient and playful sitter for your sweet cat!
About: Born & raised around dogs and cats. I understand how important they are & how they’re family more than anything. I’ve taken care of dogs from German Shepard’s to Labradors to Miniature Poodles etc. I’ve taken care of older dogs who need to take medicine and younger dogs who need to be house trained. Seen it all! I go on walks throughout the day & make sure food & water & temperature is all good. I work very close to home, so I am able to come home for lunch if necessary. Activity outside is just as important for animals as it is for humans. I live close to a fenced dog park & take toys with me for playtime!!
“Ria did a great job our watching our cats over the Thanksgiving holiday. It was our first time leaving our cats with a cat sitter and Ria did a great job. We’ll definitely keep her in mind for future cat sitting.”
“Veronica took care of our cat Johnny. She did a great job! Johnny is a senior and picky cat who needs special attention. Johnny was visited and fed on time. Thanks Veronica!”
“Theresa was an exceptional cat sitter for my pets. She was not only responsible in caring for their needs but also incredibly kind, spending quality time with them. Her natural ability to connect with animals shone through, as my cats quickly warmed up to her. I appreciated her regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend Theresa for anyone in need of a reliable and caring cat sitter.”

“Arianah is a wonderful sitter for Levi. She always gets him to eat all his food and takes care of him like her own dogs! Levi loves hanging out with her when I have to work.”
“I rescued Millie a couple of weeks ago and since then (and probably before then as well), she has shown aggression towards people strangers. Tracey and her mom welcomed Millie with open arms and spent the day making sure Millie was comfortable at daycare. I appreciate their flexibility and care and highly recommend them for daycare!”
“I never used Rover before and I am a helicopter dog mom but Haily made me feel comfortable. I love the video and pictures that i get throughout the day she’s with him. Milo (my puppy) absolutely loves going to doggy daycare with her.”
About: Hi, I’m Chloe! I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, and caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and energy levels! I’ve also cared for family and friends’ pets for years, helping with walks, feeding, and keeping them company. I really love animals and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Since I’m not currently working, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets my full attention. I’m home a lot, so I’m able to keep a close eye on them, stick to their routines, and make sure they get lots of care, playtime, and company throughout the day I live in a townhouse with my dog Roxy and my three kittens. Roxy is a small Chihuahua, very energetic, friendly, and used to being around other animals. My cats are also very social and comfortable in a multi-pet home. It’s a calm, pet-friendly space where animals are part of everyday life. I also love staying active with walks, trips to the dog park, and going to the beach when the weather’s nice. Pets staying with me would get lots of attention, care, and companionship in a safe, relaxed environment (with lots of cuddles)
About: I know that your dog is more than just a pet—they’re family. That’s why I provide loving, reliable, and stress-free dog-sitting services tailored to your pup’s needs. Whether you’re away for a few hours or an extended trip, you can count on me to offer attentive care, regular exercise, and plenty of belly rubs. With a passion for animals and years of experience, I ensure your furry friend stays happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Book with me today and give your dog the care they deserve! I’m currently a SAHM so my schedule is typically open. I do however only watch one dog at a time to provide them with a comfortable stay. They must have a bed or kennel provided with their stay. I will follow special instructions, if needed. I feed them, take them on walks, play with them, pet and cuddle them. Maybe, take them on a car ride if they like that.
“Truffles had such a lovely time with Sherrie & family. They took such great care of him, giving lots of love and play and activities for him to do. He has lots of great memories, and I definitely recommend Sherrie and will rebook.”
“Will use again! Lily and her 2 beautiful pups were very nice and accommodating. Lily was very flexible working with me, and our dogs got along well and even got some energy out of my dog. Her home is clean and welcoming for pets and even has a backyard. Thank you again.”
“We loved our stay with Selena! She sent pictures and videos throughout the day and made sure Benny had a wonderful time. Benny got along great with her pup Gizmo and we look forward to seeing them again!”
“Truffles enjoyed his stay with Nichole's family. Great active time, with excellent interactions with other doggos. Will definitely rebook and recommend to others.”
“Sierra was great - easy communication, even with our last minute request. Miles definitely played a lot and came home tired and happy. We would definitely recommend having Sierra watch your pup!”
About: Our oldest dog is 5 years old, being an intelligent, high energy breed she’s taught me everything I know! I wanted to start dog sitting specifically for military families, so you can be confident your pets are in good hands for an affordable price when you need to leave the island or are working long hours! MUST have access onto Hickam military base I’m a stay at home mom so I’m always home! I have plenty of time and space to give your pets the attention they need I keep my dogs on a strict feeding/potty schedule and pay attention to their cues, I can provide the same level of care and attention to detail for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and the AC is always on!
“Scott and his family were wonderful caretakers of my puppy Kapili. I was able to relax and focus on my work because I knew he was in such good hands. Scott, his wife, daughters and mother-in-law are openhearted and trustworthy people. I was able to communicate freely about the needs of my Fur Baby and Scott was understanding and accommodating. I will definitely continue to use them.”
“My dog has extreme anxiety issues and leaving him with someone new is always nerve racking. Karinne was extremely patient and unbelievably empathetic. She sent us continual pictures and updates on his mental state. We felt at ease knowing he was with a caring dog lover.”
“Fiji had a great time staying with Amy! Clearly Amy did a great job because Fiji warmed up to her quickly. She sent me lots of photos throughout the day. Thank you!”
“Kiki didn't cry when I dropped her off with Daisy. She seemed to look like she was having fun when Daisy sent me a couple pics of Kiki's time spent with her.”
About: Aloha! We’re Corina and David – your first‑class dog sitters and your pup’s second family. We are a dependable team who treats every dog like our own. We work from home full‑time, so your pup gets tons of attention, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and snuggles all day long. We provide a quiet, warm loving, air conditioned and very clean home with a large, fully fenced yard with turf, perfect for safe play and relaxing outside. We don’t have children, but we do share our home with our Pomeranian, who enjoys calm, well‑mannered dog friends. To keep things peaceful and low‑stress, we only care for one guest dog at a time, so your pup always gets truly personal attention. We’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes – from bouncy puppies who need structure and patience to sweet seniors who need a gentler pace and extra support. We’re confident giving basic medications and following detailed feeding and exercise routines, so your dog can stay on their normal schedule while you’re away. We’re new to Rover, but we’re not new to loving and caring for dogs, and we’re excited to build long‑term relationships with pet parents in our community. Pet parents who know us describe us as calm, caring, responsible, and very easy to work with. We keep you in the loop with regular photo and video updates, so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, loved, and having fun. Since we work from home full‑time, pet care is built into our entire day. Your fur-baby starts with a morning potty break and some gentle play or a short walk to get their wiggles out, then they hang out with us while we work, with regular breaks for attention, cuddles, and outside time. In the afternoon and early evening, we do another round of walks or backyard play, dinner on their normal schedule, and then wind‑down snuggles so they can relax and feel at home before bedtime. In our home, safety and comfort come first. We live in a quiet, clean, loving home with a large, fully fenced yard with turf, so dogs can enjoy fresh air and playtime in a secure space. We don’t have children, and we only host one guest dog at a time, which keeps things calm, low‑stress, and focused on your pup. Our own 7.5‑year‑old Pomeranian is friendly with calm, respectful dogs, and we do a careful meet & greet to be sure everyone is a good match before a stay. We follow your dog’s normal routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and bedtime, and we’re comfortable giving basic medications and following detailed instructions. Doors, gates, and leashes are always double‑checked, and we supervise outdoor time so your dog is never left unattended in the yard. We know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your furry family member, so we keep communication open and easy. We send regular photo and video updates, let you know how your dog is settling in, and reach out with any questions. Our goal is for you to feel completely at ease, knowing your dog is safe, loved, and cared for like our own.
“Pepper really enjoyed her stay with Kelly. Kelly is very prompt and a good communicator. I enjoyed receiving updates throughout the stay with photos and comments on how Pepper was settling in. We will keep Kelly in mind for our future needs, thank you!”
About: I've always been the girl on the street to watch neighbors dogs, pigs,kids,farm animals, you name it. Last year I moved to the Big Island and house sat a farm for 10 months ( there were donkeys, chickens,cats and dogs there that I took car of). I have a golden retriever of my own and grew up around all sorts of animals. I'm also Vegan so you'll know there in good hands <3. I work part time and have weekends off, I usually take my dog on hikes or to the beach every single day. I work 10 minutes from my house and my shits are 4 hours long, I have 2 roommates that could also help take them potty if I'm working. I have a fenced in yard and a safe environment for your pets. Your pets have to be friendly with other dogs because I have a year old golden retriever .
About: *please note that if you have more than one animal Rover will increase the standard fee. Depending on the dogs/ages/breeds price can be negotiated* *Extended dog-sitting at your place is a dual service. Essentially house-sitting as I will be there the entire time so one less worry* I have had jobs both caring for pets in a daycare experience as well as walking and caring for pets overnight. I am natural with animals, especially; dogs. I understand positive reinforcement as well as keeping the dogs/cats under the same training as the owners. I believe animals should be treated with the same respect as our human counterparts. I have personally had a Dalmation and English Bulldog as my furry friends. I believe that doggy daycare / pet visitors should be the standard if the owners are unable to be home with them. Dogs can suffer from anxiety just like humans and it is important that we acknowledge this need. If you're here then that means you care about your pets well-being. Thank you 😊 I am not a "vacant" dog walker (or dog sitter) doing this for extra cash. I am doing it because I love to do it & I will provide your animal the best possible treatment according to it's needs. I only deal with one parent's animals at a time & I will establish a deep connection as if he/she was my own pet. I am looking for new best friends who need top-notch care. Your dog is also going to see an overall higher level of care with me. Better walks, better intimacy, more adventure. FYI: most people find me after suffering through subpar service. If you you’ve found me, you are probably looking for something better. Most people are going to be living their lives with your animals in tow, I'm going to be living my life for your animal. If you've gone through 2 or 3 sitters, look no further. I am exactly what you are looking for. *my service is for those who see their dogs no different than children and understand the anxiety animals can feel (& they way they act) when they are without their parents for extended periods of time* Thank you for your time. I am an independent contractor outside of Rover so I am able to work at my own times. Other than conflicting appointments my calendar is open. I prefer to meet your dog first with pets and snuggles (to establish familiarity) then proceed to walk or whatever other instructions are required of me.
“I can not say enough great things about Luis and Christine!! They truly love animals and could not have provided a more welcoming and loving environment for my dog. Christine baked homemade,nutritional treats specific for my dog :) Luis and Christine not only took my pup on several walks throughout the day, but took her on adventures throughout the island! They really are not your average sitter, but so much more! I hope to book again as they really are amazing people.”

“We really appreciate Hayley for always being so accommodating, especially with our almost always last-minute requests for walks. Her reliability, kindness, and great communication make it such a relief to know Coco is in good hands. Highly recommend her!”
“Sierra did a wonderful job taking care of my baby girl. My dog tends to not eat when I work a lot outside the home until I get home. Sierra stood by her and helped her feel comfortable enough to eat while I was gone after a nice little walk. I really appreciated how many pics she took and her informative summaries.”
“Thankful for Josie, trust her with Alika and picking him up when we are not home. It's such a big relief when we are out and a good break for Alika to get out of the crate and be happy.”
About: Aloha! I’m Ayla, a lifetime dog and cat lover. I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and always had the responsibility of feeding, potty breaks, walking, and grooming my fur baby’s! I’d love to help look after your pets and I will always make sure your pet is properly taken care of while providing lots of cute photos. I’m currently working part time and am a student - but I make plenty of time for furry friends! I do most school work from home so your pet will always be in good company. My schedule is flexible and can accept requests on short notice! I live in an apartment, it’s a quiet, cozy environment for your furry friend. No yard ensures constant dedicated walks and indoor play. Safe and cozy home for small/medium pups!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up with pitbulls, so I’m very comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I also have my own maltipoo, which has given me a lot of experience caring for small to medium-sized dogs and understanding their specific needs. I regularly help care for friends’ and family members’ pets and have experience with walks, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. I’m also comfortable taking pets to vet appointments if needed. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and pet care. I’m able to accommodate morning (as long as I don't have any meetings), afternoon, and evening visits in many cases and can provide attentive, reliable care to make sure your pet gets the time and attention they need. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During walks, I make sure dogs are securely leashed at all times, avoid unsafe or overcrowded areas, and pay close attention to their behavior and comfort level, especially in Hawaii’s warmer weather. For drop-in visits, I carefully follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions provided and always make sure doors, gates, and harnesses are secure before leaving. I understand every dog has different needs and personalities, and I always aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for.
“Megan is reliable, responsible and a great with dogs! We were lucky to have her walk our doodle, Murphy. She's great at communicating and keeping us in the loop!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have about a year of hands-on pet care experience. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs. By the end of our walk we’ll be best friends! I’m home for the summer from college! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I enjoy making time to care for animals. I have a flexible schedule and can help with walks, feeding, playtime, drop-ins, and giving pets attention and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, responsible, and will always follow your pet’s routine, feeding instructions, and any special needs.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a teen. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing my own dog grow from a puppy to senior. I have experience with adapting to each dog’s individual needs and with caring for senior pets. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with dog-sitting and walking. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and learning how to keep them engaged and happy! I’m currently working part time, so I am available on weekends and some weekdays for dog sitting. Weekday afternoons are usually best, and my weekends are typically open. I take the time to get to know each dog at their pace. It’s a top priority for your pet to feel safe and comfortable!
About: I grew up surrounded by animals, and from a young age I learned to understand their personalities, rhythms, and unique ways of communicating. That natural sensitivity isn’t something you learn later in life—it’s something you grow up with. I’m a geographer with studies in biology and a master’s degree in territorial development, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, environment, and safety. My life has always been connected to nature. I rock climb and hike regularly, so if your pet is active, I can offer exploration, movement, and outdoor experiences. If your pet prefers calm, I provide routine, stability, and a peaceful environment. I adapt with patience to every temperament, from the most independent and reserved to the most affectionate and curious. My experience as a teacher strengthened my empathy, calm communication, and ability to create trust. I can also administer non‑injectable medications and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always feel at ease. I chose pet care because it brings me back to what’s real, simple, and full of heart. When your dog or cat stays with me, they’ll be treated with love, respect, and dedication—like part of my ʻohana. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt to whatever your pet needs. I’m available in the mornings, throughout the day, and in the evenings, including weekends. When possible, I also accept last‑minute requests. My priority is keeping your dog or cat on a stable routine, with steady company and a safe, calm environment. I only offer pet care in the client’s home and adventure walks, because I believe pets feel safer and more relaxed when they stay in their own familiar environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly as they know it—feeding times, medication, play, rest, and any special instructions. I respect your home’s rules and adapt to your pet’s temperament, whether they’re independent, shy, or very affectionate. I also offer adventure walks, ideal for active dogs who enjoy exploring, hiking, or releasing energy in nature. Thanks to my experience with hiking and climbing, I guide them with calm attention, safety, and responsibility. In both cases, I keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My priority is creating stability, trust, and a caring environment wherever your pet feels most at home.
“Lyndi was awesome (as usual)! This is the third time booking Lyndi - she's always quick to respond, super dependable and I can tell my dog loves going on walks with her. It's not always easy leaving your pup behind when you go out of town but knowing Lyndi was there for him, put our minds at ease. She's absolutely amazing and I'm so grateful she takes such great care of our furbaby.”
About: My lifelong immersion in animal care, having grown up with multiple pets including cats and a rabbit, means I understand diverse animal personalities and communication styles. I'm skilled at reading body language and adjusting my approach based on each dog's individual temperament and needs. As Ghost's dad, I bring hands-on experience managing a husky's unique energy and needs. This gives me practical knowledge of proper exercise routines, mental stimulation, and the special attention active breeds require. I have experience working with dogs requiring special care, having previously cared long-term for a Chow Chow with specific needs. This taught me how to adapt routines and provide attentive care for dogs with unique requirements. My background with multiple pets (cats and rabbits) means I understand different animal personalities and communication styles. I'm skilled at reading body language and adjusting my approach for each pet's comfort. As a UH graduate student, I'm detail-oriented and reliable. Being fully available throughout summer means your dog gets my complete, undivided attention. I provide photo updates and detailed reports so you'll know your furry family member is receiving loving, consistent care. As a graduate student currently on summer break from UH, I have the unique advantage of being completely free every day, all day, throughout the entire summer. This means pet care isn't something I need to squeeze between other commitments – it can be my primary focus. My open schedule allows me to: - Adapt completely to your pet's ideal routine rather than forcing them to adapt to mine - Offer flexibility for early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care - Provide longer, more attentive visits without rushing to my next appointment - Be available for last-minute requests or schedule changes - Give your pet my undivided attention during every visit Since I'm not balancing pet sitting with classes, work, or other major commitments this summer, I can truly dedicate myself to providing exceptional care for your pets. Whether your dog needs multiple walks throughout the day or your cat needs consistent company while you're away, my schedule is designed to prioritize your pet's needs and well-being. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar environment and routine: - I follow your detailed care instructions precisely, respecting feeding schedules, medication times, and exercise routines - I spend quality time playing, cuddling, or simply providing companionship based on your pet's preferences - I keep your home secure, bringing in mail and alternating lights if requested - I send photo/video updates after each visit so you can see your pet is happy and comfortable - I leave detailed notes about eating, bathroom habits, behavior, and activities
About: I’ve had pets at my family home since day I was born and I’ve taken care of various friends or families pets while they’ve been on vacations or in emergencies. I’ve raised puppies and kittens, so I have experience with younger animals as well. My baby back home in Minnesota is a Newfoundland, so trust me I’m ok with big dogs, and my husky is a ball of energy so I can take dogs with strength. I’m also interested in running with dogs! I currently am a barista at a Starbucks in Waikiki, and work 3-5 days a week normally around 30 hours, but otherwise I do online school; so I can do class from anywhere at anytime and have a lot of free time. My pets are used to having walks, or being in gated off areas. My husky is a sprinter so I’m good at being aware of what doors I’m leaving open and making sure she’s securely where she should be.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 15 years old. Back in Argentina (where I am originally from), I used to rescue stray animals, provide them with their first care, and help find them loving families for adoption. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly enjoy making them feel safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m currently working part time from home so I have plenty of free time to enjoy the outdoors and take care of your pup while you can’t! . There’s plenty of room at my house to play and there is a lot of beautiful places arround the neighborhood to go for a walk
About: Hello, My husband works as a scientist and I work for the department of education as an athletic trainer. We have a 2 and 5 year old that love animals. I am comfortable giving injections or pills if need be. We like to stay as active as possible and go on hikes, beach, walks as much as we can. The area we live is safe and quite place. There is a duck pond right next store and a park right across the street. My husband and I have been pet lovers since we were kids. He was raised with cats, birds and dog. While I was raised with dogs. We recently lost our English Bulldog of twelve years and even though we would like to get another dog in the future we would be happy watching your pets in the mean time. We do have little kids. They are 2 and 4 years old. We would prefer to watching dogs that are use to little kids. I don't work till the afternoon so morning walks are a must. My goal is to tire them out in the beginning on the day. Your pets are like our family. They are allowed on couches and beds. They will be loved like I love my kids. thank you very much
About: Most recently in March 2022, I enjoyed housesitting a sharpei for 3 weeks. Before that I housesat a very adorable golden doodle for a week. In 2021, my friends would often leave their dogs with me when they would travel lasting from days - weeks. I recently completed the Google UX Design Certificate. Therefore, I’ll be job hunting full time; I have time throughout the day to walk, feed, and hang out with your dog! Since I will be housesitting, your dog will be familiar and comfortable in their own home, decreasing the possibility of anxiety and maximizing their comfort!
About: I have a deep love and appreciation for animals, especially both dogs and cats. I currently care for two cats I rescued since they were kittens! I have been a loving caregiver for my guinea pig pet for 6 years prior with much love and dedication as well as taking care of friends’ dogs. As for my skills, animals tend to feel calm and relaxed around me & I have experience with grooming, walking, and feeding animals. I am responsible, diligent, punctual, caring, and patient. I love spending time outdoors in nature with animals. I enjoy the company of dogs and cats as well as playing with them. I am available in the daytime with a flexible schedule between 6am and 11am. Depending on your dogs physical activity range or exercising needs, I can customize the walk to be more active or more relaxed for them. I can walk your dog to Central Park depending on the distance or their favorite nearby park. Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! I have a flexible availability to care for your pet as needed, including house-sitting. With 1 week advance notice, I can accommodate to meet the care days you're looking for. I easily adapt to what your pet needs and actively focus on ensuring they have the best experience by starting with the basics of care such as having food, water, and toys available. I monitor their energy levels to see how they're doing and when they are ready for a walk or playtime, with a fresh water refill right after!

“Makayla was absolutely wonderful with Huey! From the moment I booked, her communication was exactly what every pet parent hopes for when leaving their dog in someone else’s care. She sent regular updates and photos, asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification, and was proactive about sharing any concerns related to his care. I booked on very short notice and still received top-tier service. It was clear that Makayla genuinely cared about Huey’s comfort, safety, and well-being. Knowing he was in such kind and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I trust Makayla completely with my fur babies and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and compassionate pet sitter!”
“KaVina was ABSOLUTELY amazing with my l lil man (Deuce). She kept the pics & videos coming. You could see the joy in my dogs eyes in the pictures & videos, I feel like my guy was truly able to live like he was at home. She took him for walks & played tug of war with him & kept him happy. I would definitely use her services again because she made him feel at home.”

“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!”
“My dog did very well on his first 4-hour daycare with Christine 3 months ago. This time, it is overnight stay. I was worried, felt uneasy, then came updates. She sent photos of my dog cuddling to his son, even slept in their bedroom (just like home). She even hand-fed my dog and offered other dog food when my dog refused his food. The whole family took care of my small Pom like their own. She is really true to her word, "care for them like they’re my own."”

“I just have to give a HUGE shoutout to Charlene for being the absolute best dog sitter for my sweet Miss Ellie! From the moment we connected, I felt at ease knowing Ellie would be in great hands — and Charlene went above and beyond my expectations. She made sure Ellie ate well, was cared for with love and attention, and stayed happy and comfortable the entire time. I was so impressed by her kindness, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. It’s not easy leaving your fur baby with someone, but Charlene made it such a smooth and worry-free experience. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, loving sitter, and I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

“Paige and Tad were such amazing and loving host for my dog. My dog and Lucky got along so well the first meet-n-greet I knew they were going to be great distraction for each other while we were away. Paige was very responsive and sent me lots of photos while on my 2 week vacation. I know my pup had an amazing time because she was so tired when we brought her home. Few days later we met up at a near by dog park and the dogs still hit it off great! Such a responsible, amazing, and loving hosts!”

I was a bit nervous at first, but after the initial meet with their dogs, I knew they’d get alot of play time.

We received tons of pictures which was great!”

I am just so grateful for everything she did to make me feel comfortable with her care for my baby girl!”
