“Tracey and her mother, Yuet, are great boarders. I was new to Rover and they were very responsive, advised me on what to pack and sent several pictures every day. Our dog was treated as their own pet with access to their home. Ozzie had fun with playing with their small dog. Their set up has a dedicated space indoor & outdoor to play and potty. I would definitely hire them again as I didn't have to worry at all. Thanks Tracey!”
“Diana was AWESOME!! Fantastic communication from initial inquiry, meet-up, drop-off and throughout our trip. Kept us updated with messages and pictures every day. Her home was great with lots of space indoors and out. Fenced yard and air conditioning inside were both BIG pluses! Our corgi was well taken care of while we were gone. Would definitely book with her again!”
“Jacque took care of our dog Kanani when we had our house fumigated for termites. I immediately felt comfortable leaving Kanani with her. Jacque and her daughter Lexi are very loving and caring. She sent us pictures of Kanani throughout her stay there. Kanani looked very comfortable and happy. I even joked that maybe Kanani wouldn't want to come back home. I highly recommend Jacque if you need to board your pet.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Milly. She was very happy when we picked her up and I could tell she had been well taken care of while we were away. Appreciate all of the pictures and communication while we traveled.”
“Senne took amazing care of both of my dogs and sent me updates and photos frequently which was nice! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an awesome dog sitter!!”
“Samantha was great in sending pictures of our fur baby often! It was challenging to leave her, she has separation anxiety and seizures but on medication to control them. Henny felt loved and we definitely felt she was being cherished and well taken care of! We will definitely use her again!”
“I would highly recommend Emma to other dog owners. Her personality n home felt so welcoming. I’m also happy Bodee found a furry friend he could play with. Thank you Emma?? I will definitely call on you to sir Bodee!!”
“Catalina is a great communicator and care taker. My pet had a good time at her home and was happy when I picked him up. I would gladly utilize her Rover services again!”
About: Throughout college I cared for many dogs for family, friends, and as a side gig. I am experienced in dog walking, feeding, oral medication administration, and light grooming. I always enjoy sending pictures of your pet to show what a great time we are having! As a stay at home mom, I have great flexibility. I would also like to share that I have two friendly dogs that are kennel and potty trained in our home and a two year old daughter. I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to walk dogs and do light care during the day. As for overnight care, we have two dogs that love pet friends as long as they are friendly and get along with others. We typically go to an on-leash park in the evenings and do outings on weekend mornings. We have two small, friendly dogs and a toddler that will keep your dog more than entertained! We have a small outdoor area for on-leash play and are a three minute drive to a big park/field where we have a good dog community. We want your dog to feel comfortable and happy during their stay so the first 24 hours is just about learning about your dog and gaining their trust!
“We have been using Daylin now for a while. She is so sweet with our dog, Winnie. Winnie loves going there and she’s treated like a little princess. Love giving her updates and the fact that they go on walks together. I totally recommend using Daylin for your next Pet sitter”
“Haily and Benjamin were amazing sitters! I felt completely at ease while we were away. Everything was very smooth and easy from meet and greet to booking. Pick up and drop off was also great with no issues! She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We came home to a relaxed and happy pup! I would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Charlene was super flexible and communicative, she sent pictures of our dog at her place. Our dog seemed comfortable and happy to be with her. We plan to use Charlene again!!!”

“Brianda was AMAZING with my dog. She opened him up to her home and family and treated him like her own dog. She provided daily pictures and updates, I would leave Enzo with her anytime!”
“Camille was great with Stella! I really appreciate how easy the whole process was with her. Great communication and provided pictures daily to keep us updated with Stella. Definitely would trust her to watch Stella again.”
“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!”
“Pyro loved KaVina so much we decided to request her to watch him during our extended vacation. KaVina did an amazing job with him again. She provided us with daily updates and let us know of any issues that arose. She was even accommodating when I messed up our arrival time and we ended up getting home 7 hours later than i initially told her. She’s been a great friend to Pyro, I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Jess took absolutely amazing care of our golden! She was extremely flexible, communicative, and sent so many updates including photos and videos throughout our trip. It is clear that she really cares for each animal like her own, prioritizes their comfort and safety, and I can’t recommend her enough!!”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life and currently have two of my own, so caring for them comes very naturally to me 🐱 I truly love cats and understand that every cat has a different personality, comfort level, and routine. Some are playful and social while others need patience and quiet space, and I always try to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities, including cat sitting for homes with multiple cats, even one with eleven kitties! I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, medications or supplements, playtime, and giving each cat individual attention. I also worked at a humane society in California where I gained experience caring for many different cats and learned how important patience and trust are when working with animals. I treat every cat like they are my own and know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you are away 🐾
“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.”
“Calla was an excellent house/pet sitter for my cat Cheddar while I was traveling for 2 weeks. Cheddar had some health issues come up shortly before my trip and I was anxious leaving him with a new sitter, but Calla did a great job managing his multiple medications. She even kept a log of his meds, feeding, and generally how he was doing every day. She communicated well before and during her stay. She left apartment clean and tidy, brought my mail in, and watered my plants as well. I would definitely recommend Calla and will be using her again in the future.”
“Veronica was amazing with our 4 month old cat Finn. We trusted her with drop-ins to our home when we were out on vacation for 2 weeks. She even went back on a non scheduled visit to turn down the AC when the temperature outside got extremely hot! Amazing experience, would definitely love to hire her again.”
About: I’ve been around and caring for cats for most of my life. I got my first cat when I was four and grew up caring for her until she passed away. I also helped care for my brother’s cat while we lived together. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter boxes, playtime, and giving cats attention while also respecting when they prefer their own space. I understand that every cat has a different personality and routine, and I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home.
About: I’ve always been a responsible pet owner since I was little and have had numerous unique pets growing up. I love pet sitting, walking, and taking care of them all as if they were my own 🩷 I am currently a substitute teacher and have some extra time and days I don’t have work so I have free time for walks and cuddles. I have always prioritized safety in my different occupations doing security and corrections most of my life. I take pride in people’s trust in me in different ways.
“Our for babies were very happy under Ria's care. Ria was very easy to communicate with and she made sure that our two kitties got all the care and love they needed. Would definitely recommend her for your next pet sitting/companion needs!”
“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: Hello, my name's Rachel and I'm a 3rd year student at Drexel University. I have had pets since I was 10 years old. I just finished working at Penn Vet Working Dog Center in assisting to train working dogs that are trained for different disciplines such as; search and rescue, explosives, narcotics and medical detection. I'm experienced with very high energy and strong dogs. I believe I can handle and provide the best care for your dog. I believe both my profession and personal experience with dogs and cats has helped me gain the skills necessary to work with almost any dog.

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.
“Tracey and her family saved the day. I had a previous meet and greet with another rover and it didn't go well. I found Tracey and she took us in last minute and gave me updates and I felt very safe leaving my dog with her. Thank you so much!”
“After my last river sister moved away, I was a apprehensive about someone else watching Thumper. Hailey and Benjamin made everything easy from the first meet and great, slowly introducing their dogs one at a time and then letting them all roam around their yard, to the first drop off. Thumper was a bit nervous when he was dropped off, but slowly calmed down and enjoyed himself there. Everything made me calm down as well. I got a check-in update and lots of pictures. I am excited for his next visit and glad I found someone that both Thumper and I are both comfortable with!!!!”
“Taylor is fantastic. I was in town for work with my wee guy and she took care of him during the times I couldn't have him with me. Rowlf and Taylor made a fast friends. They played and walked and cuddled, she took tons of pics and kept me up to date about their time together, and really supported me while I was working. I'm so grateful I found her. Taylor is super friendly, thorough, and loving. It can be so hard for all of us to trust the care of our babies to a stranger. You can't go wrong here!”
About: My family has three dogs, and I have one of my own. I often help help my neighbor watching her two dogs also. I know the basic trainings like sit, lay down, paw/ shake, roll over, stay, etc. I do not mind going out of my way to learn more to help out your dog or my dog! Currently, I am in between jobs but I am looking to get one soon. I can update my schedule when that changes, for now, I have tons of availability. Weekends are a little harder, but if I know in advance, I can try my best to work around it! I do not have a yard however, a couple blocks down there is a huge community park that is fence in, where I normally take my dog. There are other dogs there sometimes so depending on their comfortability, we can just go on a nice long walk or we can go run around (with a couple other dogs). I do live in a studio. It is a little small so big dogs can be chaotic however perfect for small dogs! I have toys, food, treats, dog bed, and dog shampoo!
“Nichole did an amazing job caring for my pup!! He fit in great with their family and dogs, and I appreciated the photos and updates throughout his stay. Nichole is so sweet and will treat your fur-baby as part of the family, which was an important thing for us looking for a sitter. Would recommend and will also be booking again! Thank you!!!”
“April was such an amazing sitter! She walked my pup, Buko, every time and Buko would come home absolutely tired from playing all day. I really appreciate the photos that April would upload throughout the day. I would definitely book with April again! Thank you so much!!! :)”
“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.”
“Lauren was super nice and very easy to communicate with. Their house is very dog friendly and they have a great yard and baby gates to ensure the pups stay under supervision. My dog Dolly made herself right at home with their kids and dog and had a great time at daycare. I didn't worry about her at all, and we would love to book with them again!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs well all animals in general! I’ve been fostering a lot lately from dogs all the way to rabbits! I’m an adoptions coordinator at a rabbit rescue, and I love talking to people and making a difference in the animals' lives. Fostering is awesome because I’m around a bunch of different personalities and each foster or dog that comes into my home is important to me and I treat them like my own. My schedule is pretty open I work part time 😊 and especially weekends I’ll be free! I only work 2 days a week and will be able to come home during lunch to play with doggie as my job is fairly close to my apartment! I will care for pets in your home by respecting the house first and foremost , making sure that the animal has everything that is needed. & putting doggie out of dangerous situations and following rules from the family!
“Katharine and Daniel took wonderful care of my fur baby! I needed a sitter on short notice and they really helped me out! I will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Thank you for taking care of my baby even though it was a short time request! Daisy and her boyfriend were very responsible and had smooth communications. I highly recommend them and definitely I will book them again.”
About: My pups are my heart and my life! 💖 They are the center of my world, and like many of us pet parents, I take care of my sweet babies better than I care for myself. My husband and I have had our little Marshmallow for 12 wonderful years and counting! For six amazing years, we also had our sweet CocoBear, whom we adopted as a senior with multiple health issues requiring special care. She has since crossed the rainbow bridge, but she is still loved, missed, and cherished by us every single day. Now that it’s just Marshmallow, she’d love some company! She’s super friendly and gets along very well with other doggies! 😊 Although I may be new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for pets! I've been dog-sitting for over 12 years, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. In addition to dogs, I’ve had hamsters, rabbits, and birds throughout my life, and I’m also a very proud cat auntie! 🥰 I have very high standards when it comes to caring for my own babies, and I treat any pup in my care as if they were my own. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your baby with someone else, so making both you and your pup feel comfortable and at ease is incredibly important to me. I’ll make sure your baby feels safe, happy, loved, spoiled, and right at home! I also love sending pet parents lots of photos and videos because I know just how much you’ll be missing them. 💖 As a stay-at-home dog mom, I’m able to give your pup constant attention, companionship, cuddles, and care. I have tons of love to give, and I’d love to shower your baby with all the love and affection in my heart! An added bonus: my husband also has a very flexible schedule and is home much of the time, so that’s double the TLC! Your baby will be petted and pampered and treated like the precious gem that they are! 🥹 I take so much pride in providing the best care, and I can’t wait to treat your baby (or babies) to a fun vacation and a warm, loving home away from home while you’re away! 🥰 I am a stay at home dog mama, so your baby will have all my time and attention! Additionally, my husband has a flexible schedule, so that’s double the love your baby (or babies) will receive! 💕🐶 My husband, pup, and I live in a pet-friendly apartment complex. We have a lanai where we have fresh sod that dogs can use for going potty any time they need in addition to their daily walks! Dogs are allowed on our furniture and our bed - everywhere! I am very flexible and can adapt to whatever your dog’s needs are.
About: I have personally raised and trained both of our family dogs. Friends and family frequently rely on me for pet sitting, training, and even advice! I have helped in multiple animal shelters and just love being around animals! I work part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur family. I do a lot of outdoor activities and do not mind bringing them along for the ride! College student who has lots of time and experience! Sadly can’t host any furry friends in the dorm, but happy to stop by any time!
“My dog wasn't feeling well whenever he got the opportunity to stay with Kurry, but she made me feel like I was right there with him. I had a plethora of pictures, lots of updates, and a reassurance that Kurry truly loved and cared for my child. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for someone who values your animals as much as you do.”
“Rose was incredible with Kuma!! She responded to all of my messages quickly, sent photos, kept her busy and happy all day. She was also very flexible when I had to push back my pick up time. I will absolutely be booking with Rose again!! 😊”
“Naudia was key in making our Oahu vacation a truly memorable one. We flew with our pups to Oahu to celebrate a cousin's birthday. Not only did we get to see the island with them, but we also got to do adult activities as they stayed with Naudia. She was very responsive & even gave Charlotte some pumpkin to help her upset tummy. Book with her - she will surely take care of your pups!”
“Sofia is excellent! She connected with Kobe instantly and has a beautiful space and park to walk them in. I highly recommended her! Thank you Sofia! 🙏🏽”

“Third time booking with Joshua and cannot recommend him enough! He takes such good care of my pets. Super communicative and respectful. And not to say I can promise this for every client, but he does more than just walk my dog, he hangs out and plays with him (and my cat) too, which is always above and beyond expectations. Great to work with and would rebook him anytime. Default and primary choice 💯. Highly recommend!”

About: Aloha! My name’s Mackenzie and I genuinely love animals. I worked at a humane society in California where I grew up, and I’ve cared for many dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve lived on Oʻahu for the past three years, and I have two cats of my own. I also grew up around dogs, cats, and other animals, so being around pets has always been a huge part of my life. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, supplements, walks, playtime, and more complicated care schedules. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention like they’re my own 🐾 I work in Waikīkī, so I’m available for drop-in visits before and after work and on my days off. For boarding, I’m typically away for about 6 hours during my shift. Your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and care before I leave and as soon as I get home. I’m happy to be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule! I follow feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, and any instructions carefully. I’m also very communicative and like to ask questions and be thorough so I fully understand your pet’s routine, personality, and needs. I know how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets and in your home, so I always try to be reliable, respectful, and communicative. I currently only offer boarding for cats. Visiting cats stay in their own private room, completely separate from my two resident cats, to help everyone feel safe and comfortable. For longer stays, if both cats seem interested and ONLY if the owner is comfortable with it, I may allow short, supervised play sessions to help with enrichment and socialization.
About: I’ve always had pets of my own and love to give them the best care of their needs, whether it’s love & affection to mental or physical stimulation, I’m ready to enjoy the day with them, Your pup will have so much fun with my dog (Oreo) & I.

I work part time and my schedule is pretty flexible, as long as I know ahead of time, we can work out a schedule that works out! I have a fenced in yard for bathroom breaks or for play time. If your dog is crate trained during the night and you wish to continue, I have medium size crate but you are welcome to drop off their own crate with them, if they like to rest in their own crate, otherwise they are free to roam around the house and rest anywhere! Does your dog have any allergies to food/other things? or is reactive with another dog, or around food? • please let me know in advance so I can take precautions. I love updates of what my pup is doing throughout the day, when I’m not with her, so if you love getting updates of pictures of your pup throughout the day or at the end of the day just let me know!

About: I've been around animals since I was young so caring for them has always come naturally for me. I genuinely take the time to understand each pet's personality, routine, and needs. I'm comfortable caring for pets of different ages and am super patience with those that might need extra bit of attention or care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I would want someone to give my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. Friends and family usually reach out to me in regards to taking care of their pets because of how much I enjoy spending time around animals, but also the level of care, patience, and love I provide. I'm excited to hopefully do the same with you! I'm currently an active Marine, however my current schedule is very flexible. I work a typical 8-4, and I'm 100% free on the weekends! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to follow the owner's instructions and keep their normal schedule as much as possible. Whether I am caring for a pet in my home or in a client's home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I also understand how important trust is when someone is allowing me to care for their pet and enter their home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with respect. I pay close attention to a pet's behavior and surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, maintain a clean and safe environment, and communicate with owners so they can feel comfortable knowing their pet is in good hands.
About: I have owned dogs my entire life, and I have extensive experience in dog-walking and sitting, cat care, and home care, ever since I was a teenager. I love animals and am even a wildlife photographer. I have personal experience service training dogs for psychiatric service, as well. I am able to ensure not only premium, safe, and reliable love and care for your animals, but also your plants and the general welfare of your home while you’re away. If your animal has special needs or training curriculums, I am able to meet them, so your time away doesn’t become time off from necessary routines or specialized care. Additional services and excursions (hikes, dog parks, beach days, etc.) are available upon request. Mahalo for thinking of me for the care of your pet! I work part time in the evenings and am a member of a canoe paddling team that practices three to four times per week, so my schedule is flexible with plenty of time for your pets! Being a dog-owner myself, maintaining routines and going the extra mile for play and exercise is important to me. I am currently self-training my rescue for psychiatric service, so I am very comfortable working with dogs from a variety of backgrounds with different levels of confidence and social comfort. I have also cared for cats and am comfortable with their often varying levels of social needs, as well as their basic care. I will never use negative reinforcement with your animal, ensuring a gentle, fun, and trustworthy experience for your pet. Additional services and home care (plant care, delivery reception, maintenance/vendor monitoring, etc.) are available, as well.

I have a fenced yard with a grass area where dogs can explore around and/or use the potty. My house is ac so if needed, keep them cool :)!
“Malia was professional, punctual and communicative throughout the process. Highly recommend her! We’ll certainly be using her services again! Thank you Malia for caring for our dog, Rio.”
About: I have always loved animals and grew up with sisters who train police dogs, service dogs, big and small dogs as well as my own dog. I love dogs and have been with them since I was a kid. I’m a student that doesn’t work during the week so I have a lot of free time that i’d love to spend with your pup! I’ll take them on frequent walks and give them the loving they need:) I’m very careful with all animals as they can’t communicate their feelings to us. I’ll make sure they are fed, walked, and feeling that they trust me.
About: Just an 18 year old who has a love and passion for all dogs. I have no job experience in pet caring but I grew up with dogs my whole life including caring to newborn puppies. My friends and family Have relied on me to feed,bathe,play,walk, and take care of their dogs. I have just finished my cosmetology course at school and currently waiting for my next school course to start. I am available from 6am-4pm on weekdays. Whether in my home or yours, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, ensuring proper feeding, exercise, and plenty of attention.
About: I’ve always had multiple dogs growing up and once I got out of grad school, I decided to get a dog to call my own. But I tell everyone that she found me, not the other way around :) From walks, to dog parks, to hikes, and many more, I enjoy spending time with dogs and seeing them happily play with their friends (both new and old). I have experience caring for dogs who are sick or who may have some anxiety. With that, I’m big on taking photos of pets, so you’ll constantly receive updates from me. I work from home full time and am able to take fur friends out on walks throughout the day. My neighborhood is very dog friendly and there’s always a new dog on the block to make friends with. I recently lost my fur baby of 11 years. I work from home full time so I’m able to care for your pup depending on their needs and how often they need to walk/be outdoors. I still have three beds to choose from so your pup will also be able to choose from that selection.
About: I bring hands-on experience and a genuine passion for animal care. Back in Arizona, I’ve cared for my own 4 dogs and 2 cats since I was ten, giving me years of firsthand knowledge about different breeds, temperaments, and needs. Additionally, I spent three months as a live-in volunteer for an animal rescue and have worked briefly at a shelter, further expanding my expertise in handling animals with diverse personalities and care requirements. Whether it’s training puppies, providing extra attention to senior pets, or managing unique behavioral traits, I’m confident in my ability to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m currently a student at the University of Hawaii, which gives me a flexible schedule during the week and weekends. Being an active person, I love walking, running, and hiking—so if you have an energetic dog, I’d be thrilled to help keep them active and happy. Pet care naturally fits into my routine, as I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying busy, making it easy to give your pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I prioritize the safety and well-being of pets by following all care instructions, ensuring secure environments, and staying alert to any health concerns. I respect your home, maintain confidentiality, and provide reliable, professional service. By creating a calm and positive atmosphere, I ensure pets feel happy and cared for in your absence.
“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.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and caring for them for most of my life, and I have a dog of my own. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and keeping pets on their usual routine. I’m responsible, attentive, and good at following specific instructions. I know every pet is different, so I’m happy to adjust to what works best for yours. I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home, so I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I can usually accommodate different schedules and am happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m careful about following each owner’s instructions and keeping pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I pay attention to things like feeding schedules, walks, medications, and behavior, and I’ll always communicate with you if anything seems unusual.
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals in my life for years, and they truly bring me so much joy. I’m reliable, responsible, and genuinely care about every animal I have the opportunity to care for. I treat each pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a fairly open schedule right now, so I’m very flexible and able to work pet care into my daily routine. I can also accommodate multiple visits throughout the day when needed. I’ll be caring for your pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a space they know. When I’m there, I want them to feel like they have my full attention. We can go for walks, play, cuddle, or just hang out together depending on what they like. I won’t be sitting on my phone, I’ll be present and focused on them. I’ll also keep you updated while you’re away so you can feel comfortable knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I have had pets and the responsibilities of pet care all of my life. I grew up with a variety of pets, including Persian cats, boxers, pit bulls, cocker spaniels and french bull dogs. In 2021, my husband and I adopted our own dog, Summit. He is a pit bull hound mix from Kauai Humane Society and the world's biggest sweetie. My friends and family have trusted me for years to give affectionate, responsible care to their animals and homes. Since I work from home, I'm able to be around 24/7. I love a change of scenery, so leaving my home to stay in someone else's for a week or more is no problem at all, ensuring your pet has consistency. I'm affectionate and will make sure your pet has cuddles, play time, and all of their needs met and exceeded. I work from home and have completely open availability. As long as I have enough notice, any day or time works, and long-term stays are also possible. If I watch your pets in my own home, we will need to ensure your pet and my dog are a good fit together. He gets along best with small dogs. I have a fenced in backyard. But if I watch dogs or cats in your home, then I'm good with any pets!

About: I’ve grown up with cats since I was 4 years old and was responsible for all of their needs - feeding, brushing, nail clipping, litter cleaning, and of course playing and cuddling. I cared for them through their old age providing medication, physical therapy exercises, and inserting IV drips. I’ve also been my friends’ dog sitter (funcle) over the past 6 years, giving them all the walks, pets, attention, and playtime they need while their parents are away. I currently work full-time from home and can give all the attention to your pets’ throughout the work hours of the weekdays! I like to be active after work and weekends, and can take your pups out for runs or hikes, or we could lounge and chill if that’s what they need. I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood that’s pet friendly. We have no pets at home right now so I’ll be around to give full attention to your pet!
“Arya and Moose had a great time! Moose finally had a tug of war buddy, Rocky, and Arya got lots of love. They even got to go run around at the park while there. I’m an anxious dog momma and we had a bit of a miscommunication about updates but after clearing it up, Kalea did a great job of sending lots of photos and videos. Definitely trust Kalea to watch my pups again!”
